Great place to camp
Large grassy camp sites, dog park and clean restrooms/shower house. Lake is very pretty and great staff.

Good location for exploring St. Louis
This campground is fairly close to downtown and very close to lots of shopping. A great place to stay to stock up on supplies before heading west. We stayed 2 nights to have a day to visit the Gateway Arch. The pool and playground seemed nice even though we didn’t use them. Nice dog park for smaller dogs. Several cabins are available along with RV sites. The tent sites are next to a river under large trees. Plenty of spaces for big rigs. Our site was no very level but nothing our auto-leveling couldn’t handle.

KOA in Eureka, MO
Nice, clean campground, level pull-through sites - ours had a paver-patio and grill, a lot of shade throughout, dog park, and a creek to explore. This was our 2nd time here. Close to Saint Louis, Six Flags, and hiking.
Paul B.RangerSt. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park
Convenient to St. Charles
Easy off I-370, campground is new and large. It is on a lake with bike trails, kayak rental, and kids splash pad. Staff were helpful. I received about 5 pieces of paper when checking in. You need a code to get into the dog park. Shopping nearby. Used this as a base to visit historic St Charles.

LEDLENDSER MH10 and KOA Route 66 review
Campground review:
Once googling local campsites at the last minute for a weekend getaway with both dogs, we came route 66 campground. They have a dog park, rv hookup sites, electric tent sites and primitive sites. We stayed at a primitive tent site with both dogs. Site t13, which unfortunately was one of the very few camp spots with zero trees so we're unable to use our hammock. (Most of the other sites had great trees for hammock setups). Other amenities on the campground included a heated pool, bike rentals, basketball courts, a country store for firewood, supplies, and gift shop. Needless to say this was not a "roughing" it type campground. For the dogs though, we were right across from the creek to take them down to play. Also, kids were catching crawdads! Great campsite that is pet friendly and very family friendly!
Product review:
Ledlenser mh10
This headlamp first of all comes with a 7 year warrantly(must register the product)! On top of that all these features: a rechargeable battery with a USB port. Rapid focus system with 2 tough button on headlamp to adjust lighting. The strap is very easy to adjust and fit to comfort, lightweight despise the battery pack attached to the headlamp. The lighting is phenomenal! You also get a green and red additional glass lense that you can screw into the front of your lense for any activity and not disturb others with a bright white light. Me, howsoever, I was able to on this camping trip, use the headlamp to continue to play a game of cornhole... and winter, might I add.. thanks to my headlamp for optimal vision;). Included are some pictures of how bright and fitting the headlamp is. I was highly impressed! Never once did it slip... which I have struggled with in many headlamps that it seems the lamp is too heavy and slowly makes its way down your forehead. The Ledlenser stays in place and is very comfortable! Also, doesn't leave that weird band line on your head... at least I didn't experience it like I have on others. Very impressed overall!

Lots to do
There is lots to do at this park. There is a pool, bike rentals, dog park, movie night, basketball court, and more. You can bring your RV, travel trailer, tent camp, or stay in a cabin. Most of the sites are in the shade and are fairly level. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained. They have Ele/water and Ele/water/sewer sites. It is close to train tracks, but I only heard the train once at night. It’s close to Six Flags, shopping, and restaurants. They even have a cute caboose cabin you can stay in.

Really nice overnight stay
We spent one night here (May 11, 2022). This is a very nice easy access CG with wide, spacious, and level pull through and back-in gravel sites (25 paved). There are a lot of activities available: archery, boating, fishing, dog park, biking (wish I brought my mtn bike), walking, playground, horseshoes and volleyball. We did not have time to visit the clubhouse and did not make use of the bathrooms or showers. It is a great base camp to visit the area. The WiFi was great as was cell phone reception. We would definitely stay here again.
Guide to Bridgeton
Campgrounds near Bridgeton, Missouri offer diverse options within an hour's drive of the city. The area sits at the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers with elevations ranging from 400-600 feet above sea level. Seasonal flooding affects campground availability, particularly during spring rainy periods when some riverfront sites close temporarily.
What to do
Hiking opportunities: 4+ miles of trails surround Lincoln Lake at Cuivre River State Park Campground, approximately 45 minutes northwest of Bridgeton. "The trails are fantastic and have different levels for all. The best spot is over looking the lake and offers a clear view of the night sky," notes camper Chad K.
Paddleboarding and kayaking: Rental options available at several area lakes. "This is a great place to kayak and camp if you don't want to drive that fare and live in the city," according to Lindsey C. at St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park. The park rents paddleboats, kayaks and canoes seasonally.
Historical exploration: Access to Katy Trail through rear gate access at some campgrounds. "Through the gate at the rear of the campground, and you can bike for miles. Easy ride in to St. Charles a wonderful historic river town on the Missouri River," explains Cheryl K. The trail connects to downtown St. Charles, approximately 1.5-2 miles from some campgrounds.
What campers like
Privacy and space between sites: Some campgrounds offer more secluded options. "The campsites are 'state-park-size', especially the back-in sites which all have plenty of lawns behind them," notes a camper at 370 Lakeside Park. "Very private and clean. 5 ⭐ in my opinion simply because of the overnight price and privacy," reports a visitor to Horseshoe Lake State Park Campground.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Deer and birds frequent many campsites. "We saw bunnies hopping around and when we first arrived to our site a deer was grazing nearby, such a bonus!" shares Maria E. about their experience at Cuivre River State Park Campground.
Value for money at state parks: Budget-friendly options exist within 30-45 minutes of Bridgeton. "Great spot in a beautiful area close to St. Louis. No power but access to drinking water and waste water dump for just 8$," notes a camper at Horseshoe Lake State Park.
What you should know
Train and airport noise impacts some locations: Several campgrounds near Bridgeton are affected by transportation corridors. "On Lambert international airports flight path, next to a major train trestle, right next to Highway 370," warns Jack G. about Sundermeier RV Park. The train noise typically diminishes after 10-11pm.
Fire restrictions vary by location: City ordinances prohibit campfires at some sites. "The only bad thing which isn't the campgrounds fault, is you can't have a camp fire due to the city ordinances," notes Brian A. about Sundermeier RV Park.
Seasonal closures and flooding affect availability: Several riverfront campgrounds close during high water periods. "It was out of commission for most of the summer of 2019 as the entire area was flooded," mentions one visitor regarding 370 Lakeside Park's recent history.
Tips for camping with families
Playground facilities: Several campgrounds offer equipment for children. "Kids had a blast riding bikes. Even finding a few little frogs jumping around and fireflies at night," shares Joseph F. about their family experience at 370 Lakeside Park.
Safety considerations: Rangers provide weather alerts at some parks. "Example 1: There was some rough springtime weather expected one day. A park ranger went around to every site and notified every camper of where the shelters were and gave out a flyer about the specific weather forecast!" explains a camper at 370 Lakeside Park.
Swimming and recreation options: Lake access for families varies by location. "This campground has a lake you can rent kayaks for... It also has an accessible fishing dock that is covered," notes Kayla S. about Cuivre River State Park.
Tips from RVers
Site spacing and layout: RV sites offer varying degrees of separation. "The spaces are a bit close together and not many trees but I've been to worse. The not many trees is do to it still being a fairly new campground," reports Barbie B. about 370 Lakeside Park.
Dog-friendly campground amenities: Many campgrounds welcome pets with designated areas. "We loved how spacious it was. The roads within the campground were double-wide so we had no trouble turning and getting into our spot," explains a visitor to Cahokia RV Parque, which offers pet-friendly cabin options alongside traditional RV sites.
Water pressure considerations: Some locations have unusually strong water connections. "The water pressure was so strong that I could barely open the water pump!" notes Susan L. about Sundermeier RV Park, a convenient dog-friendly campground near Bridgeton with good access to hiking trails.
