Convenient
Good location close to O'Fallon and Hwy 70. Kind of close to the busy main road running through town. Some long term rigs are there, but look kept up.

Tent campers should note that some sites have uneven terrain, as indicated in reviews. Reservations are recommended, particularly for weekend stays during peak season when minimum two-night stays are often required. A visitor noted: "The spaces are electric only, so if you are wanting full hookups you better look elsewhere. Also they have communist water so you don't get to hookup to that all the time either."

Nice campground on Katy Trail bike path
This camp grown is right on the Kathy trail which is over two hundred and twenty miles of a rail to the trail state park. It is also nestled in a small area with lots of wineries and microbreweries , making it a very nice place to stay for a while. Located only about twenty minutes from a major community with all the amenities you need.

Very Scenic Park
The campground is nicely shaded with large trees but not to the point that there isn't grass. Think of camping in a large manicured city park without the city. The town of Grafton is a bonus. Many restaurants and pubs.

Dr. Edmond Babler State Park
Nice state park camping close to St. Louis
Staff is very friendly and great at their jobs. Bathroom was clean and nice. Gets a little crowded but it's still fairly small so not too crowded. Can't speak much for RV camping, but tent/car camping was better than some other state park sites.

Robertsville State Park Campground
Small and old
We enjoyed the family site with another friend. It was good for a tent and 26 foot rv. Not a good big rig campground. It has tight turning and narrow roads. We took out kayak on the river for a float. Dirty water. Good hiking.

Relaxing and wooded
Great place for exploring the cave on a tour or playing in the water to cool off. Campground is small and reservations are needed. Great hiking.

Hiking and horse trails
This is a park not far from St Louis with camping and hiking. Campground is on the small side.

Meramec State Park Campground
Best in the spring
I love this park for the dogwood trees in the spring. Reservations are highly recommend especially if you have a large rig and during summer river floating season. Don't use the back loop with a rig larger than 25 feet. You have to thread the needle between wiggly trees. Great hiking here too and a cave!

Very peaceful but bring bug spray
Ticks are soooo bad, def bring bug spray. There's also a DG and a gas station within 5 mins so that's a huge plus
