St. Louis Mo camp ground

Lots of places. St Louis RV Park is an option. Very bad part of town after dark. Park is very secure, but outside the park can be dangerous. Casino Queen. Jellystone Park in Eureka. KOA in Eureka, Pin Oak Creek RV Park in Villa Ridge. Babler SP in Wildwood (or maybe Manchester). Robertsville SP in Robertsville. 370 Lakeside RV Park in St Peters. Sundermeiers RV Park in St Charles. (Washington SP or St Francois SP-a little farther out, but nice parks). 370 Lakeside will give you deep discounts to the St Peters? REC-PLEX. A very unique rec building with numerous things to do (including but not limited to swimming).

If you are going to be in town a few days. With a 12 year old boy, I would highly recommend Jellystone or KOA. These parks are next door/across the road (respectively) from Six Flags St Louis (in Eureka). Jellystone offers deep discounted SFSL tickets and a pancake breakfast. Jellystone always has kid related activities and a pool. They can likely help you out with Cardinals tickets too.

SFSL has TWO (2) complete theme parks for one price. The rides park has 8 roller coasters (one is brand spankin new). The water park has numerous slides, tornado ride, lazy river, wave pool.

Jellystone RV park in Eureka, MO is about 15 minutes West of I-270. Looks like more of a campground experience than RV park by looking at the website. A bit pricey in IMHO. We drove through Babler SP, it is nice. We drove past Sundermeier RV park in St. Charles. Convenient but basically a parking lot. St. Charles is also a nice place to visit. There is also the Red Barn Rendezvous in Edwardsville, IL it is a small Rv park on the frontage road by I-55 & IL Rt 143. The Zoo, Science Center and Grants Farm are all free. Have a great visit!

St. Peters has a new municipal RV park. Full hookups and a small lake. It looks nice on their website. IMHO a lot better than staying in the ghetto or jambed together at Sundermiers. Babler is nice also, but harder to book.

We stayed at Babler as well when visiting St. Louis, was a great place, quiet and not to far a commute.

If you stay at casino queen, the casino will take you to the ballpark on a bus and bring you back after the game. no charge, no parking, easy as it gets. Anything else in St. Louis you will have to drive to or take the rail. Not hard to get over the river to St Louis, but DO NOT GO INTO EAST ST. LOUIS,go only to the interstate. If you have kids, lots to do in St L. Zoo is great (free, pay for parking) grants farm (clydsdale horses), transportation museum in southwest county, tour of Bud brewery, think they still have riverboat cruises, and of course the arch and museum below it. Have fun.

We stay at Edmund Babler State Park. It's an easy commute into the city. It has large sites, expansive well-manicured lawns, many trees and an overall excellent park. It's huge. Great for bike riding, too.

You are correct about the are of the Casino Queen, not very good in E St Louis. You can always catch the Metro to the games, but you would have to drive to anything else in St Louis area. If you are coming from Arkansas you would probably come up I55, stay on I55 headed towards Illinois, stay on right hand lanes and you would get off 3rd St exit and come out on Broadway in
E St Louis, turn to the left and head toward the river again, at the Eads bridge stay to the right and follow street to the Casino Queen on your left and the RV park is to the left at the back pf property.

The only place we have stayed in St. Louis was at the Casino Queen RV Park that is part of the Casino just across the river from the Arch. We were just passing thru and were there for only one night. As I recall they advertise transportation across the river into the city, but I can't verify that because weren't there long enough to check it out. The park itself is on the casino property and it is very clean and secure. Of course they want you into the casino and we did go there, but only to enjoy a good meal! One word of caution; it's not in a very good part of town, and being unfamiliar with the area and the fact that it was after dark it was tough for us to figure out the right exit to actually get on the property, but once we go there it was a good deal and secure and very nice.
