Not Impressed

If I were you I would not waste any time going here it's not worth getting off of the interstate. The campsites are decent I would have to say... Don't try to put a kayak in the Loutre though. and Do Not Stop ANYWHERE along the route if You do BOSS MAN will Harass You until You hate this place. Too Many Restrictions and its really just a waste of time...the Cave is Once You've seen it blah blah blah

Shaded sites, elect. available, water close by.

Nice woods setting but they need to level the camp sites. We had our choice of sites and picked the one that looked closest to level but still a long way off. Bathrooms and showers were old but useable.

I70 Overnight

I picked this State Park as a convenient stopover for the night. I only give it three stars because there's no water hookups. Site 41 was level. Bathhouse was clean. The namesake cave was underwhelming. Hiking trails are available. If you have the chance to visit Hermann, MO, about 20 miles away, very charming town on the MO River

Beautiful site, off the beaten path

Wish I had more time to stay here. This is a very beautiful location. Absolutely zero road noise. Site was a little pitched to the back but no issues with our class B. The bathrooms are separate from the showers. The bathrooms were clean. The shower is so-so. But I’ve read they’re getting up graded.

Nice campground, but hardly no level lots

We are visiting in early June and it is super green here! The campground seems older, rather small, and I’m not sure any of them have water hookups.

We are at site 52 and it is super un-level, only has electric, and no water.

We are just passing through for the night, so not much info on anything else at the moment.

Came after Labor Day and campground was virtually empty. Large campground however the sites are not that private if you come during a busy period. There was few bathroom facilities for such a large campground and they definitely needed some attention. I would not stay there again

Beautiful easy to get to camp ground

This camp ground is great if you’re just passing through MO. Right off of interstate but far enough into the trees that you can’t even tell you’re that close. Lots of sites, great amenities, very polite and helpful personal. Easy hike to the cave.

Small and quaint

Our overall camping experience was a good one. The ranger station is still closed but there was always someone driving around and ready to help. They even delivered firewood to us. The bathrooms were clean and the property was taken care of. My only criticism is that the fishing left a bit to be desired. There’s really one spot someone can get to if it’s wet and the river is more like a big dirty creek. Wasn’t the end of the world tho. We still enjoyed hiking the trails.

Beautiful Quiet Family Friendly Campground

The access road off the Interstate initially had us second-guessing our decision to stay at this campground. However, we were quickly put at ease when we got onto the state park property (only a short drive down the access road). The park itself is very well maintained. It is heavily wooded with lots of shade at most of the campsites. We stayed in Site 48, which was a back-in site that backed-up to a large green area that our kids truly enjoyed playing in. The weather in early October 2020 was perfect for a camp fire and the stars really stood out at night. There are several trails to hike, including the one to the cave. We would definitely stay here again.

NICE, But Unlevel.

Stayed 10/29/2020 with only a few other campers in the campground. Close to the freeway but not really noticeable noise except on hikes. Paid $21 for 30 amp electric site, water and dump are available but not at individual sites. Bathroom and shower, dumpster, recycling and firewood also available. All sites had red tags stating reservations recommended but were not required. There were plenty of sites available when we were there. There are a few flat sites but many were not level.

Hikes were nice, lots of deer, the cave itself is blocked by chainlink but still pretty cool. Dogs ok on leashes. 

AT&T and Verizon cell service adequate.

Unexpected respite and best picnic tables ever

First here and would definitely come back. The sites were nicely spaced out and spacious (we have a huge family tent and had plenty of room). We were walk ins too and the campground was half empty so lots to choose from. The picnic tables are also amazing-wish there were more of these out there. They have a top shelf that lets you store things/add light high enough to disperse and have a clean place to eat. Only downside is you can hear the highway when trying to go to sleep, but that became white noise eventually. Definitely wouldn’t prevent us from going back.

Peaceful Campgrounds with River Access

Camping at Graham Cave was a very nice time. We walked the Loutre River Trail and fished in Loutre River - it was a beautiful hike and the river scenery was beautiful. Before leaving, we parked near the picnic area and walked the Graham Cave and Fern Ridge Trails. The cave itself is underwhelming if you are expecting something like Fisher Cave at Meremec State Park, but it has an interesting story and I love rock formations of all kinds!

Nice

At the time of our visit, the campground had just been hit by a big storm and due to the many trees in the campground was a little messy. The park staff was in the process of cleaning up the campground but serval sites had suffered extensive damage. The sites were semi level and adequate for campers but would have been a little rough in a tent. There is plenty of shade and the facilities were updated. The highlight of the park is the cave and the hikes around.

We camped with our dog and had a nice time. We hiked the trails and saw the cave. Unfortunately, you can't go in the cave or see much of anything inside of it. It was a bit disappointing. The sites were tight and noise from other sites carries easily.
