Just depends if you want to drive and pay for parking in the city. We stay at Casino Queen. The big rig sites are paved with gravel in between and there is a nearby train track that has some activity. Even though this is located in East St Louis, it feels very safe because of the casino security. They will pick you up/drop you off at the metro and that makes it easy to see the downtown sites. We visited the Arch and also took a tour of Busch Stadium which was very nice. We also visited the zoo but we drove there. Zoo has no entrance fee but there is a fee to park ($10 when we were there). We never felt unsafe using the metro during daylight hours and if you want to attend a baseball game, the casino has a free shuttle that picks up/drops off right at the stadium. We had a very enjoyable stay while in St. Louis.
