Staying in tent area with campervan. 26 dollars a night. Good spot. You do hear the highway a bit. Hosts are friendly and helpful. Bathhouse is basic but does the job.

Ugh
This is one of the worst state parks I’ve ever visited. The sites are small no water or electricity. Takes 15 minutes from civilization to get there.

St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park
Quiet and very clean
This campground is very well taken care of. The kids had plenty of things to do to stay busy and entertained outside.
Jeff S.ScoutCuivre River State Park Campground
Nice place for an overnight
Secluded state park but a little hard to get to when pulling a 34 foot fifth wheel. Lots of ups and downs on the road. Love the fact that you are absolutely in the hills of Troy MO with nothing else around you. We stayed during the week the end of August and there were hardly anyone else here. Very quiet. No road noise whatsoever. You felt very much in the woods.
