Meramec State Park, Mo campground has the trees for an awesome tree tent gathering.....if that’s something you want to do :) ( hammocks would work as well!)
Off I44 southwest of St Louis Meramec Campground sits next to the river of the same name which has some beautiful blue water. One of the full hook up aisles is right across the street from several access points to the river. The sites don’t offer a lot of privacy but there is room to set up your accessories and not be sitting your neighbors front “yard”.
My favorite section is the cluster of sites to the left of the main entry that are in a canopy of big old trees. There were multiple selections for treetents and hammocks, it could look like an “Ewok” village if you got enough people in there with their treetents ;)
The showerhouse was older but maintained and the staff was friendly and informative. Most campground this time of year are scaling back if not closing completely. Meramec is year round just in a smaller area. The Boatramp is within the campground, small and gravel.
Excellent camping area with anemities nearby.
