It depends what type of site you need and the weekly rate is much cheaper than the daily rate. We are in a large site and are paying $35 per night with the weekly rate. That is pretty darned reasonable when you consider how expensive even state parks are nowadays. Some people park their long 5th wheels in the smaller sites and then park their tow vehicle on the gravel that is between the sites. Almost everyone has their lawn chairs and grills out too. We feel completely safe here. We did not venture anywhere else in East St Louis even during the daylight hours.
