Camping with my German wife at Monkey Mountain Conservation Area. Most Conservation Areas in Missouri have areas that you can camp at for free. Some have camp sites others just an area to camp, but we have found and continue to find awesome little gems out in the wilderness. You never know what wildlife you will see had hear including coyotes, racoons, turkey, rabbits, squirrels, deer, geese and ducks. If just one of these things inspire you, it time to get "Out of the House" and start enjoying the great outdoors.
