Best Glamping near Silex, MO

Great place for a leisurely hike around the lake. They also have reservable spots in their campground, which is a quick drive from the beach area, and you are also able to rent kayaks and canoes! Great secret swimming hole worth the walk down the creek bed!

Nice campground with tent areas and RV area well separated. Fire rings with attached rebar grills on a bricked square. Picnic table and lantern post. Small playground near the check in station/camp store. The store is small but will have what you need. The showers were adequate with the requisite daddy long legs. There were a fair amount of ticks so spray your gear with permethrin. Many of the sites were pretty small - we had a hard time seeing where a tent would fit, usually the answer was on the side of the road. Also, many were close together with little privacy. We stayed on site 53. Which I definitely recommend. Plenty of space for the tent (on a bit of a slant with tree roots, but doable, especially with air mattresses), great privacy on one side, decentprivacy on the other, and a lovely view of the woods at the back.

This campground has a lake you can rent kayaks for. They have a small store at the check in booth. It also has an accessible fishing dock that is covered. The sites for full hook ups are separate from the other sites.

This park has plenty of trails for all lengths to keep you busy and the camping is spaced out nicely so you are not right on top of each-other. Not alot of people know about this park which is nice. they have a nice size lake with swimming area and rental. This is personally our go to because it is so close to home for us and we never have to worry about it being too crowded. From my understanding the electric sites do fill up so you may want to call for reservations.

This campground is cozy and mostly shady and ground is level.

This time we went with our Cub Scout group and stayed at one of the family sites. There was a water main breaks so the outhouse was our only option for restrooms and no clean water. The overall grounds were great and liked the ability to walk down to the lake from the the campsites.

My family has been here multiple times and is one of the cleanest, nicest parks we have camped at. They always have great programs running too. The last time we we t they had a birds of prey presentation

They are spread out and truly feel like you are camping with out being right on top of each other

We've been to most of the parks in the stl region, this is one of our favorites. Great hiking, boating, fishing, everything can be found here.

Nice place! Good balance of shade and no shade spots. Don’t fee as though you are on top of everyone and even the generators won’t be too loud tonight. Little buggy and gotta watch for ticks, but this is camping and you are in nature.

The campground has a lot of very nice campsites. Some are close enough to be near others, which is nice when you are camping with friends. There are also sights that are a bit more sectioned off from neighboring campsites. There are multiple trails, but my favorite is the one around the lake. Be prepared for it to take a little longer than map states if you stop to look at things and take pictures. Trails are well marked. There is a beach to swim and play in the lake. They rent kayaks if you want to get out and explore the lake.

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).

Cuivre river is about an hour outside St.Louis and offers a multitude of outdoor options from hiking, biking, boating and fishing. The trails are fantastic and have different levels for all. The campground offers several different loops and are spread out well. The best spot is over looking the lake and offers a clear view of the night sky. We are definaltly coming back.

Nice big area with several clearings and fire rings.

I am bad at making reservations, but we got lucky with the last spot in the RV section. Beautiful prairie view and lots of great trails. Flush toilet too!

Very clean and the site had some covered bench/tables

Set in a very nice wooded part of the State Park. Firewood and ice available. Easy online reservations and text to check in. Quiet and level sites.

We went here for out first RV adventure. It was perfect! Out kids loved the beach, fishing off of the docks and kayaking the lake. Everything was well kept, clean and the grounds are so pretty! We loved it!

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.

We only spent one night here but we really enjoyed our site and how quiet the campground was. The sites were spread out enough for privacy and the bathroom was convenient and clean.

We stayed here to break up our longer trip and were pleasantly surprised by the miles of trails our dogs loved. The pull through site was mostly level and made for quick setup and teardown. We were also pleased that AT&T and T-Mobile were good enough for remote work and some light videogames while we escaped the heat of the afternoon.

The park itself is very nice, we enjoyed swimming and kayaking in such a beautiful area. The campsite seems hit or miss. We went in the fall when it was quite busy. Our campsite didn't have a good flat spot for the tent so we slept on a slope and kept sliding down while sleeping. Our neighbors were a large group of adults and children. The adults were around the fire making a lot of noise until well into the night, at least past 1 am. I don't begrudge them having fun and catching up, but it lessened our enjoyment of the campground.

Nice park. Cell cell not so good. Limited shade except 1-2 spots in middle. #82 & #100 nicest spots we thought.

This campground was a little tricky to find after dark, but was able to show up and set up camp at 9pm. Tons of available spaces in late September. Clean free showers and laundry facilities a total plus. Had a strange crab apple/peach tree dropping fruit on our site right and left, but still a lovely spot to stay. 2 PM check out is also very welcomed

Traveling through St Louis we found this great state park campground. Site #2 was perfect for our last minute needs. Will make a return visit and stay longer!
