A parking lot with a direct sightline to the Gateway Arch is the defining feature of Draft Kings at Casino Queen RV Park, a fully paved, full-hookup facility on the Illinois side of the Mississippi River in East St. Louis. The setting is unambiguously urban: a gated lot adjacent to a casino, surrounded by industrial infrastructure, with freight and metro trains passing every 15 to 30 minutes throughout the day and night. No trees shade the larger sites, and there is no grass beyond a narrow perimeter strip designated for pets.
Sites are concrete and gravel with 30 and 50 amp electric service, water, and sewer. One layout detail worth knowing before arrival: the water and electric connections are positioned at the rear of each site near the sewer, so campers whose water intake is at the front of their rig will need a longer hose than usual. Reviewers note that sites toward the back of the park tend to be more level than those near the entrance, and the camp host can help locate a better spot if the first assignment does not work. Scott C. describes it as a "very clean and secure overnight park just outside of STL," and security does roll through regularly.
The casino's gate code also provides access to the pool, gym, showers, and laundry. Showers are clean but limited, with only a couple of stalls available. The casino has a metro stop that connects directly into St. Louis, making it straightforward to visit the Arch, Union Station, Busch Stadium, or other downtown attractions without driving. Campers planning a broader trip through the region can also find places to camp around St. Louis or consider nearby alternatives such as Cahokia RV Parque to the south or Safari RV Park to the northeast.
The park is open April through September, requires advance reservations for gate code access, and runs $65 per night with an additional pet fee. It makes the most sense for RV travelers who want full hookups and a one or two night base for exploring St. Louis without paying downtown parking rates.
