Sleeping under the stars has been a summer family tradition since, well, forever. And while the St. Louis area has tons of great traditional outdoor campgrounds, we thought we’d get a little ‘wilder’ by looking for some unique camping spots that are definitely ‘off the beaten path’.

While you were debating whether you should bring a jacket or not, the fall season arrived. Are you ready? As is typical of the season, it announced its arrival in modest fashion with a plentiful showering of leaves in your yard followed by plastering the words “Pumpkin Spice” on any flat surface in town.
