Cherokee Lakes Campground

I spent a night here camping while on a road trip. The check-in was quick and easy. The host showed me the tent campsites, which are secluded and private from the RV sites. The sites are outfitted with a picnic table and brick fire rings. Some have water spickets. There's a central covered picnic area. Lots of shade and tall trees. You'll want to check them for dead limbs before setting up your site. I didn't ask if hammock camping is allowed. There are at least two sites that would work nicely for a hammock. A portable toilet is available to keep the area sanitary for urgent needs; the flush toilets, laundry, and fitness center at the main entrance are also available for a longer walk or short drive.

This is the best camp site I have ever stayed at. The owners are so sweet and friendly, the spots are nice and big, we’re here in Mid September and the weather has been beautiful, there’s a pool and a workout center, showers and laundry, they sell last minute necessities and gifts in the little shop.. well maintained, clean, gorgeous. So peaceful!!

This is more of a "long-term" campground than for any vacationers. We had gone there because we were having work done in O'Fallon on towed vehicle. I would never stay there again! Nor would I recommend it.
