Camping near St Louis arriving very late.

there is a campground about 5 miles from the downtown area in St Louis not far from the arch or the American center, we stayed there last summer for a week.

Do you remember the name, or is this the "glorified" parking lot in downtown?

We frequent St Louis and we keep coming back to Sundermeier. It has it's fans and those that rip it. It is close enough to practically anything in the city. Now if only someone would build something like this arms reach from Chicago we would be there in a heart beat. Have fun.

We have mixed feelings about being that far away from the event/kids, having no idea what kind of "party" it will be.

BTW:40 miles outside of Chicago - straight west, there is a very nice Forest Preserve. Big Rig friendly. I have parking lot camped downtown Chicago many years ago, I still remember hearing the gun shots out my window. Gotta love Chicago.
