You have a few choices including Babler State Park outside the city.
We stayed at the Casino Queen in E. St. Louis, IL, a few years ago and it was good for a couple of nights to sightsee one full day. Right by the river and you can see the Arch from the campground. Shuttle to the train across the river - one stop and you can walk to the Arch, boat rides on the river, etc.
It's just a parking lot with hookups, no atmosphere but very convenient. Prices have gone way up since we stayed there, though.
