Casino Queen RV Park, East St.Louis ???

I stayed there a few years ago. No problem finding it and the facility was good. The noise from the trains is a problem. Some sites are as close as 135 feet from the tracks.

We stayed there one night on the way through the area so that we could tour the Arch. I really liked the convenience and would definitely stay there again. We stayed in the newer section (no grass) that has paved sites with gravel between them. They were much larger sites and I would stay in that section again. We felt very safe in the park and it is patrolled by the casino security.

You can take the casino shuttle to the entrance of the subway train. That will take you across the river bridge to the Arch. We did not have a tow vehicle with us and found the shuttle/subway to work very well. I also enjoyed being able to go over to the casino for a while that evening.

I personally had no issues finding the place and thought it was fairly easy in and out. I do tend to review satellite images of places before I go so I can get acquainted with the area and roads.

I only want to stay two or three nights and get back on the road. So I can put up with some of the negative points.

Do you know if they have a shuttle over to the Arch ?

As long as the campground is safe and close to where I want to go, it sounds good to me.

Thanks.

Cons: difficult to find, industrial area, no grass or trees, expensive laundry, rate is high for what you get, train noise.
Pros: shuttle to casino, near the metro for sightseeing, clean rest rooms, "ok" site size.

We stayed outside St Louis at the KOA in Eureka. Quite a drive into the city though. Another option is in St Peters - 370 Lakeside RV campground municipal park with full hookups, grass and walking trail along lake. Not fancy but a good option if you don't mind driving to get into the city.
