Being in St. Louis, MO we're looking for a place to go in mid June. Seems any place near large bodies of water, i.e. Great lakes, Gulf Coast, or even Atlantic coast, are all booked. Don't care for private parks. We're more State, COE, municipal or even FamCamp park people. What we generally prefer is a week of driving about 3 hours and spend a night, another of the same and spend two nights, repeating until we reach our destination for 5 or so days. Then return the same method, but different route.Like to explore the destination area, but then tend to get "happy feet" and the itch to be on the road to some place different.26' B+ needing only electric, but full hook ups are nice.Thanks for your ideas.

Do you want a really big body of water or would you be happy with a state park with a lake, or a waterfall or both?Like you said, the big bodies of water are booked solid in summer. There’s some beautiful places in northern Alabama. The Alabama Folk School at Camp McDowell is in northern AL and isn’t too far from Clear Creek Recreation area and a good sized lake. Here’s the link Alabama Folk School at Camp McDowell

More ideas for Northern AL : Joe Wheeler State Park has a good sized lake.There are caverns in northern AL too.Northern AL State Parks.

Don't come to California....we have no water in our lakes, rivers streams, or reservoirs

Take a Lewis & Clark tour up the Missouri River. Water and history, all in one trip. State, COE and National parks along the way.

Land Between the Lakes in TN/KY is nice. Federal land, lakes and recreation opportunities, hiking etc. Not too far from you either.

I guarantee, 100% of the state parks sites on the Great Lakes in Michigan (and there are literally thousands of sites) are currently available for June 2022; and will continue to be available until about January 2022.

I agree with Dave.....Land Between the Lakes
Lots to see and drives to take and in the nearby town of Grand Rivers, there is an area called Patti's Settlement, with recreations of log cabins and shops and a restaurant famous for their pork chops!

Very nice state parks on shore of Lake Ontario in NY. Or perhaps Sun Outdoors/Association Island west of Adams NY. Want to watch ocean/Great Lake ships? Then some NYS parks along the St Lawrence seaway/1,000 islands area.

Next June we plan to see plenty of water. The frozen kind. June is peak month for icebergs on the north coast of Newfoundland. A very special place not like anywhere else in N America.
