No showers, laundry, or flush toilets. $30 to camp. Microwave sandwiches, beer, and assorted regular beverages available.

Yeah, I've never understood the attraction to this place.

 
Gary from Near Tebbetts on 7/28/2023 12:12:04 PM:
Oh, I don’t know, could be because it’s a nice place to pull over and take a break, sit down and watch the river flow by, hydrate with your favorite beverage, fill up with body fuel, meet others with like minds, and listen to the occasional live music. It’s not the destination that counts, it’s the journey.

True dear brother but I miss the days of hydrating with $1 Stags and eating some of the best (and cheapest) Thai food in mid-Missouri…….

Nostalgia is a wonderful thing:

And there were old men, with beer-guts and dominoes
Lying about their lives while they play

Like desperados waiting for a train
Like desperados waiting for a train

LOL……yeah, maybe. But if you enjoy the new environment more than you did when Cooper owed the place we have wildly different tastes. Still, there are enough places around for old farts like me to spend their money. ??

I’m curious…….are there just one of you Anonymouses on this forum or is it like a gang or something?

Good question.

How many people post here as Jim from St. Thomas?

 
Doug from Bluffton on 8/2/2023 8:18:59 PM:
Just one I think. Ray would sure know if somebody from a different IP address tried to imitate him. Besides, his style stands out some. I'm guessing you have never had the pleasure of meeting him. Pity.

 
Gary from Near Tebbetts on 8/2/2023 8:37:43 PM:
I have known Jim from St. Thomas all my life and can verify that fortunately there is only one.

$30 to camp with no showers or flush toilets? No thanks. I’ve camped for as little as $5 and had both.

While I have not known Gary from near Tebbetts all of my life, I have known him for all of his life……..

I haven't been there since 2017. But back in the day it was a great place. As others mentioned, the Thai food from the food truck was exceptional, the fibe of the place was laid back, hippyish, whateverwillbewillbe, the music was special, and there were showers. Wasn't that where Boathenge was? You had all that and could watch the Mighty Missouri River.
