    St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park

    RV delight

    I wanted to escape the house and go camping while on the work from home order (Covid-19 happening at the time of this review), so I headed to a very local park and campground to pitch my tent. I've been to 370 Lakeside Park many times to walk around the huge lake and to hear concerts in the summer, but I had never camped there. Still haven't. I'll explain. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, they were not so keen on having tent campers. But they were very nice and gave me the general lowdown on this "in the city" campground. Since they opened the campground, most of their campers have been RV owners, and so it is really designed for the RV camper. There is a small primitive section for group tent camping, but the majority of the sites are full hookups for RVs. Some sites are pull through and some are back in. All have picnic tables and fire pits. The park has planted some trees, but they are really just saplings, so there is no shade yet. There is a nice bathhouse with free showers for the campers and pay laundry. If you are lucky, you can get a site close to the water, but it means the walking trail is right next to your unit. Trade offs, I suppose. One couple I talked to was camping long term (I think they are permanent RV'ers) and they got a free membership to the St Peter's RecPlex recreation center with their long term spot (they said something about having to book a least a month out to get this perk). One of the downsides to this location is that it is prone to flooding. It was out of commission for most of the summer of 2019 as the entire area was flooded. But the City of St Peters did a great job getting this place back to usable with new sod, a new bathhouse, and some general sprucing up. The lake is great to walk around, about a 3 mile walk or bike on a paved trail. You can see all kinds of wildlife in and around the lake- deer, bald eagles, pelicans, ducks, snakes. In the summers they have live music in the large pavilion, and you can rent kayaks and other small boats to take out on the lake as well as bikes to ride around on. The office told me that they have 24 hour on site security also. If I really wanted to tent camp, I could rent a section of the group camping area, but $30 seemed pricey for just me, and it was very soggy to boot. Or I  could rent an RV spot, but $45 was silly when I don' t need hookups.

    St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park

    Good now, and will be really nice when the trees get bigger

    Stayed here most of the several weeks we needed to be in St. Louis for family matters. Definitely our favorite place in the area. The grounds are clean and pleasant, if a bit sparse with little shade. This will change over the subsequent years, however, as there are many relatively newly planted trees. The nicest spots are the ones by the lake, with only one neighbor and a better view of the lake. The staff are kind and helpful. Water and electric worked fine. Each site has a fire pit and picnic table. Trash and recycling receptacles are huge and convenient. My only complaint is the poorly thought out sink situation in the bathrooms which make it impossible to wash in a sanitary way as you must hold the tap to keep the water flowing and there are no paper towels to that with, only hand dryers. There is boating and archery on site, a dog run, and a small playground.

    St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park

    I wish I could add more stars!

    This campground, a City of St Peters park and campground, is as excellent as a campground comes.  The campsites are "state-park-size", especially the back-in sites which all have plenty of lawns behind them.  All sites have a view of the small lake. The park/campground rents paddleboats, kayaks, and canoes in addition to different kinds of bikes.  There is a walking trail around the lake (4+ miles).  There is fish in the lake and you are allowed to fish.  The ATT cell phone signal is good.  The staff is SUPER NICE AND CARING.  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 (the restrooms/showers) and gave out a flyer about the specific weather forecast!  This is in addition to all campers getting an email.  Example 2:  We were checking out right before a weekend.  Our site, previously not available that weekend, had opened up.  The staff called to tell us that the site had opened up over the weekend and wanted to check with us before giving it to someone else.

    Nice place, clean

    We stayed there for a scout event. They had hot showers and bathroom which is always a plus. There was a little trash at the site but nothing bad. 

    We had a ton of room between us and others. We could choose our site. I appreciate that quiet hours were enforced.

    Quiet and Relaxing

    We really enjoyed this campground. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Check-in was very easy and we were met at the gate. They drove us over to our spot and brought us over a firepit. The electrical box was setup correctly and everything worked as expected. Water hookup was very close as well and water pressure was strong. As an FYI, we did have to use a regulator to reduce the water pressure. 

    We were able to stay right along the river. We had arrived a little too early in the camping season and we happened to pick days where Missouri had a cold front (previous weekend was warm). Even with the cold weather, we were able to really enjoy the trip and get our RV ready for the upcoming season. 

    The camping spots are basically just spots in a big parking lot layout. It is fully paved, but during busy season, you would be very close to other rigs. The park is beautiful and a very short walk over to the cave and ziplines. There is easy access to the river and you are able to easily put in your kayak or small boat. Restroom, showers and trash were a short walk as well.

    We will return to this site.

    St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park

    Nice well maintained campground.

    We stayed 2 weekend nights in April. It rained one night so the fire pits were full of water but overall the rain didn’t cause any issues. Paved streets but gravel campsites. Nice and level. All hookups were conveniently located. Shower house and restrooms were clean and well maintained/cleaned every day. Had a lakefront site but didn’t get to fish this time. Will be back for sure because it’s close to home. Very nice and large pavilion. Playground for kids. Sand volleyball courts. Nice biking/walking path around lake that’s about 5 miles. Check-in was fast and convenient.

    Cuivre River State Park Campground

    Beautiful campground and warm showers

    The campsites and grounds are well-maintained. However, the campsites did not have designated gravel tent pads. Given that we had to set up in/right after a rain, our tarp was sitting in grass and mud. I never knew how much I appreciated a designated gravel tent pad until then. Having never camped here, we had reserved site 25 and had the whole loop to ourselves (it was a Monday night, though). Our site, though, was the smallest in the loop, tucked away in the weeds, and the only area to pitch our tent was on a slight slope. After walking the loop, I noticed that sites 26 and 29, offered more room and were better maintained. We probably could’ve changed sites had we not arrived so late and in the rain.

    Firewood is available for $5. We saw a nice playground at the entrance. There were plenty of showers (water was nice and hot!) and flush toilets in the bathhouse. The bathhouse could use some TLC, but the warm water made up for it. There are laundry facilities, though we didn’t use them.

Guide to St. Peters

Near St. Peters, Missouri, camping and glamping options sit at approximately 550 feet above sea level in a region characterized by rolling hills and hardwood forests along the Missouri River floodplain. Seasonal temperatures range from winter lows around 20°F to summer highs reaching 90°F, with humidity levels often exceeding 70% during summer months. The camping season typically runs March through November, with some facilities remaining open year-round.

What to Do

Hiking trails: Cuivre River State Park offers multiple well-marked trails through hardwood forests. "Great well maintained state park right outside of St Louis. Park has an awesome trail system around the lake, and it looks like you can rent canoes/kayaks in the summer (was not open in the winter)," notes Kyle R. about Cuivre River State Park.

Equestrian activities: Greensfelder County Park focuses on horse riding opportunities with dedicated facilities. "There's tie stalls under a roof and a round pen mounting blocks shower and bathrooms in camp. Electricity at each site and water nearby. Trails are well marked maps available Awesome views and a cool trail by six flags," writes Alicia B. about Greensfelder County Park.

Lakeside recreation: Paddleboats and various bicycle options are available for rental at some parks. "We love going here and watching the sunsets. This is a great place to kayak and camp if you don't want to drive that fare and live in the city," mentions Lindsey C. about St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park.

What Campers Like

24-hour security: Some glamping close to St. Peters, Missouri offers round-the-clock monitoring for peace of mind. "This campground, a City of St Peters park and campground, is as excellent as a campground comes. The staff is SUPER NICE AND CARING. 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," reports Mats.

Privacy levels: Sites vary from close quarters to more secluded options. "Campground is beautiful and very woodsy. We saw bunnies hopping around and when we first arrived to our site a deer was grazing nearby, such a bonus! Our site was fairly spacious and not super close to others which we liked," explains Maria E. about Cuivre River State Park.

Lodge amenities: Some parks include historic buildings with additional comforts. "Pere Marquette has many options for your stay. The Lodge has great character and a wonderful great room. There is a restaurant inside the main building with decent food. I prefer to stay in a cabin room which sleeps 4-6 and affords you more privacy," shares Shawn M. about Pere Marquette State Park.

What You Should Know

Train noise: Several campgrounds near major railways experience nighttime disturbances. "This was such a nice and serene setting. Close to the city and local attractions, yet surrounded by nature none the less. The family atmosphere at this campground brings a smile to your face and the amenities are clean and in order. We loved it. It will be even better when they invent silent trains," remarks Todd P. about St. Louis West / Historic Route 66 KOA.

Seasonal flooding: Low-lying areas may experience closures due to high water. "One of the downsides to this location is that it is prone to flooding. It was out of commission for most of the summer of 2019 as the entire area was flooded. But the City of St Peters did a great job getting this place back to usable with new sod, a new bathhouse, and some general sprucing up," notes Annie C.

Site limitations: Many campgrounds have restricted amenities during off-season months. "Maybe we are spoiled by Arkansas State Parks and the standard amenities they have. Not having water available except at the camp host, and no open restrooms and showers until after April 1, regardless of when the last freeze is was inconvenient for a spring break trip," advises Archie S.

Tips for Camping with Families

Children's activities: Look for campgrounds with dedicated youth programming. "We stayed here last minute for Labor Day Weekend and the staff were great with finding us a good tent site available. This is not a rugged style campground as there are many amenities such as a pool, putt putt golf, volleyball, and more. They also host daily kids activities and crafts," shares Lindsey R. about Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Resort.

Wildlife viewing: Many parks offer opportunities to spot local fauna. "The lake is great to walk around, about a 3 mile walk or bike on a paved trail. You can see all kinds of wildlife in and around the lake- deer, bald eagles, pelicans, ducks, snakes," observes Annie C.

Safety considerations: Site selection can impact family comfort. "The site we were in had a steep drop just past our steps, and not a lot of room to set up chairs, etc. Honestly, the site we were in felt like an afterthought, as we were just pulled off the lower loop road," warns Jan S.

Tips from RVers

Site placement: Choose locations based on specific needs and preferences. "Sites 13-33 are popular open and sunny campsites with nice grassy areas between them. In contrast sites 52-75 are much more treed and have a private feel to them. It seems this is where most of the tent campers like to be," advises Nancy W.

Seasonal preparations: Winter camping requires additional planning for water access. "The campground is open year-round but the bathhouse with flush toilets closes November 1 and doesn't open until the spring. During the winter the only water spigot is available located near the camp hosts at site #36," explains Nancy W.

Electrical setups: Many parks offer limited electrical options. "Small campground run by Saint Louis county parks. Only sites 20-29 have electric and 28 can't be reserved. 2-20 amp plugs and 1-30amp plug. Site 29 only have 2-20 amp plugs no 30 didn't realize till we parked. Only this one doesn't have 30," points out Matthew H.
