What highway will you be coming into the St. Louis area? We love Edmund Babler State Park - huge manicured sites, trees and a beautiful park, hiking, biking, pool. It's an easy commute to see the Arch.
Tetons: This is one of our favorite parks which we've been to often. It's a long drive from W. Yellowstone. Do yourself a favor and stay there. The hiking trails are awesome and of all abilities. The scenery is like a little Alps and altogether different from Yellowstone. Take a gentle float trip down the Snake River and you might see a moose in the water with you! If you need full-hookups, Colter Bay RV Park is the one. If you can do without hookups, there's Colter Bay campground or Gros Ventre campground, both of which have 300 non-reservable sites. We like Gros Ventre. If you leave W. Yellowstone in the a.m. your sure to get a spot in the Tetons if you arrive by noon or so. We never make reservations for either the Tetons or Yellowstone. You'll probably head south out of the Tetons - going through Jackson. Just south of town are 2 large groceries - on both sides of the highway. It's a good place to re-stock as W. Yellowstone just has tiny expensive groceries. You'll also find better fuel prices heading out of Jackson toward Alpine/Thayne. Have a great trip!
