My favorite campground!
Hawn is my favorite campground close to St. Louis. We always stay in the walk-in sites; 47 has been our favorite so far. 48 is a little weird - it’s longer than it is wide, so I think it would be hard to have two tents. 50 is the biggest. There’s great hiking in the area and you can get right up on Pickle Creek near the walk-in sites. The facilities have always been clean and well maintained. It’s a little smaller than, say, Meramec, and I think because of that it’s pretty quiet.
One warning though: they only sell firewood between 9-10am and 6-7pm. We got to our site one time at 7pm and had to get a bundle of wood from a neighbor.
