The owner at this small RV park provides maps for local trails and nearby trout fishing spots, setting the tone for a hands-on camping experience. Located just off Highway 8 about five miles from I-44, Pheasant Acres sits close to the road, which creates some traffic noise throughout the day. The campground accommodates RVs up to 45 feet with full hookups, though sites run tight with limited maneuvering room.
Rock pads anchor each RV site, while grassy areas around fire pits give families space to spread out. The property includes walking trails that extend beyond the campground boundaries, plus an open field where kids play ball and feed rabbits that roam the grounds. Robyn C. notes the owner "gave us Maps for the trails and where there was nearby trout fishing."
A clean shower house serves the campground, and WiFi reaches most sites reliably. The grounds feature decorative elements that add character to the layout. Multiple reviewers mention the family-friendly atmosphere and the owner's involvement in helping campers back into sites and settle in.
Book ahead during peak fishing season when families return annually for kids' fishing events. The location works well as a base for exploring campgrounds around St. James or visiting nearby Meramec Springs.
