Get away and experience the tranquility of nature in a cozy camp cottage in a secluded campsite. The Camp Cottage offers the perfect mix of luxury and nature , giving guests the time and space to relax, recharge and reconnect. You will feel like you are a million miles away yet we are conveniently located just minutes from almost anywhere in the St. Louis area.

The Camp Cottage is in a secluded and private campsite, next to our pond adjacent to the Mississippi River. It features a comfortable queen bed with crisp, clean sheets, comforter, and pillows. It is equipped with a mini refrigerator and is air conditioned in the summer and heated in the spring and fall. The Camp Cottage is just a short walk to our bathroom cabin; clean and with flush toilets and enclosed outdoor shower.

Your getaway can include fishing, canoeing on the River, exploring the pond, hiking, a friendly game of cornhole, watching the wildlife from your deck, toasting marshmallows around the campfire, or just relaxing in nature.

We are located at the River Island Marina, an eclectic marina and glampground for the modern buccaneer, urban adventurer, or outdoor enthusiast. We offer a unique and convenient place to enjoy Missouri's great outdoors, the River, and everything St. Louis has to offer.

Our Beds - Your glampsite’s bed has a mattress pad, a hypoallergenic mattress protector and hypoallergenic pillow protectors. Before you arrive we wash and disinfect the sheets, quilts, mattress protector, and pillow protectors in hot water with detergent.

Our Bathrooms - We have two bathrooms in our bathroom cabin. Each of our bathrooms are clean and disinfected at least twice daily. Additionally, disinfectant wipes and solution are available in each bathroom for guest’s use. Our hot water shower is outdoors and adjacent to the bathroom cabin. Each is disinfected.

Cooking - Our outdoor kitchen area features both a gas and charcoal grill for our guests to use. We also have a microwave and coffee pot. Coffee and drinking water are available in the outdoor kitchen. We recommend that guests bring their own pots and pans; however, we provide disposable (paper and plastic) plates, cups, and eating utensils.

IMPORTANT: Glamping St. Louis is in Missouri’s great outdoors so be prepared to accept the inherent risk of your adventure including wildlife, insects, and unpredictable conditions (we can’t control weather or the River when it floods). Come with an adventurous and open mind, proper clothing, and some bug spray.

THE RIVER - The River occasionally reaches flood stage (generally in the spring) which effects the road into our property. If the road has water on it we can shuttle you in with our truck so your glamping adventure won't be effected.
