Assume you are inquiring about the RV park at the casino near down town St. Louis (??). No reason for any security concerns, as it has security and is a nice short term park. It is also near metro-link which is a train that will take you right into St. Louis for touring. We have never stayed there, but have visited the casino and RV park. We used to live nearby in Alton, IL. Places to visit in the St. Louis- The old capitol building downtown, St. Louis Zoo, Art museum, Arch, and Budweiser brewery. Enjoy!
These are all great places to visit, except that there is no old capitol building downtown. You're probably thinking of the Old Courthouse, the white building with the green dome just west of the Arch grounds. It's a spectacular building, but not a formal capitol. It's the site where the original Dred Scott case was decided.
There is a former state capitol on historic Main Street in St. Charles, about 25 miles west of downtown St. Louis. St. Charles was the state capital (as opposed to capitol, which is a building) before the capital was moved to Jefferson City.
