St Louis MO?

We need a place to stay for a week. We had thought Casino Queen because of the shuttle, but we need FHU for a week's stay. Suggestions? We would really like to take transit to the Gateway Arch & museum. Thanks!

  • We stayed at Cahokia RV Parque. (Well maintained private CG)

    We drove from there to an East St. Louis park and ride and rode mass transit into the city.
  • Just came thru st Louis at Thanksgiving. Casino campground is closed for the winter. St louis RV is a 1 block by 1 block parking lot in a not so good industrial area.
    Try Cahokia RV Parque. It's on the Illinois side, 4-5 minutes from the Arch. Not the greatest but sufficient with full HU and sure served our purpose of wanting to be close to downtown.
  • I have heard people say stay away from East St. louis. We have stayed at local park and the Casino Queen several times without any issues. Yes, that side of the river is run down. Casino Queen is a big improvement for the area.
  • I would recommend

    . Never been there, but live in the area and really don't like the location of the Casino Queen.
  • I got this casino mixed up with another one elsewhere... Glad to find that it has FHU! Thanks!
  • St Louis RV Park has full hookups, but not much of anything more. (Think a parking lot with hookups in an industrial/commercial area in the middle of the city.) They are apparently open year round. Casino Queen opens for the season on March 31st.

    The Casino Queen is a nicer campground for sure, but if it's closed when you are to be there...well, that's a pretty significant drawback.
  • When do you need them? Casino was shut down one winter through St Louis. Need to call!
