Campground near St. Louis

[drifterpilot]

I am looking for a campground nearest to St. Louis MO.
Only needed for a couple of days, nothing expensive.
Thanks,

You'll really enjoy Babler State Park - lots of manicured lawns, trees, spacious sites, hiking trails, pool, great bike riding in this huge park.

X2 on Casino Queen, stayed there last summer. About $25, Good Sam discount if I recall correctly, free shuttle to rail across the river. One stop, walk to the Arch. Well worth visiting - go up to top, see the museums below.

Casino Queen, where we've stayed many times, including for the 4th of July airshow and fireworks, now advertises "pull-thru sites starting at $53." Ouch!

Wow, ouch for sure! What a difference a year makes. And they were far from full at the lower rate we paid.

Yea that's over my budget. But going to the top of the arch is well worth it and the museums, been there twice

We have stayed at the one near down town. one in Fenton called Covered Bridge and one in Cahokia IL. Casino Queen closes too early for us. The one in Fenton is in a more upscale area than the rest but felt safe in all of them

Thanks to all that responded to my post on short notice.
We are staying at Babler Memorial State Park. Very nice setting and at $21.00 per night, you just can't beat the price.
Thanks

+1 on the St. Louis RV Park. Right downtown, super convenient to everything in the city, reasonable, clean, and safe (police station across the street). We've stayed there a couple of times and will definitely go back.

There the St. Louis RV Park right downtown. It's just a paved parking lot and it's fenced in. Depends what you want to do in the St. Louis area.

St. Louis RV Park

Edmund Babler State Park, Wildwood, MO

Casino Queen RV, East St. Louis, ILL

St. Louis Route 66 KOA &
Yogi Bear RV, by Six Flags, Eureka, MO

We stayed at the Red Barn Rendezvous RV Park in Edwardsville, IL, about 20-30 minutes from downtown STL. Convenient to the interstate but with a country feel. At the time we stayed they had electric & water hookups but no FHUs; that may have changed. Nice little friendly place.

G Anderson...what is the name of the campground downtown that you mentioned?on

[2gypsies1]

We stay at Edmund Babler State Park.

We stayed in one right downtown a little noisy at night but friendly staff and reasonable prices-full hook-ups

We always stay at the Casino Queen across the river from downtown.

As a added bonus, you get a pretty view of downtown St. Louis at night.
