I'd suggest the Blue Ridge Parkway for the return trip, in part or in whole. I'm not up on full hookup campgrounds along the parkway, but the road itself is magnificent and has many short and not-so-short hiking opportunities along its length. Mama Gertie's Hideaway Campground (Swannanoa, NC, near Asheville) is one place that I haven't been at but looks spectacular, particularly the top tier sites. It's not aimed primarily at kids (no playground or pool, etc.).
If you can spare the time/distance, the St Louis City Museum is fantastic, particularly but not exclusively for the kids. The St Louis RV park is within walking distance few blocks away; it's basically a parking lot with (full) hookups, but from what I gather a decent example of that sort of thing. I have not stayed there myself. There are, of course, other fine things to see and do in St. Louis (the zoo and the arch, among others).
HersheyPark and Knoebels both have campgrounds. Knoebels would be my preference of the two, though they're both fine amusement parks. HersheyPark is considerably larger and more modern/"corporate," while Knoebels is more of a traditional park.
