Anyone have any suggestions along I70 in Missouri. We would like to stay an hour or so west of St Louis. We have 3 young children and a 24 ft travel trailer. Thanks for any recommendations!

I agree on Arrow Rock. Decent campground with water and electric hookups.The town of Arrow Rock is a state historic site and was once a steamboat port on the Missouri River but the river changed course and now it's high and dry.But many original buildings remain and are open to the public.

Lazy Days, Kan-Do, and Graham Cave SP are all at the same exit (170) on I-70.

As previously stated Kan-Do and Lazy Day would be my choice.

Cottonwoods in Columbia is clean but the sites are very close together and much farther than an hour drive from St. Louis.

Not yet mentioned, and probably for good reason, is Jonesburg Gardens Campground in Jonesburg, MO. It has really gone downhill for a number of years and the last time I drove through there it looked like mostly permanent trailers.

Lazy Days is a very nice campground and the rate are reasonable.

Kan-Do and Lazy Day campgrounds are in Danville about 60 miles west of St. Louis. Graham Cave State park is a little farther West. Any of the three would likely be fine for you for an overnight.
Safe travels!

About an hour out of St L is Graham Cave State Park. It's a nice park, as is all Missouri State Parks. Not much to write home about, but nice for a stop over. It's been a while since we've been there so I can't give a proper review. About 2 1/2 hours out is Arrow Rock State Historic Site/ State Park, which I highly recommend. Very unique as that it is in walking distance (1/2 mile) from the historic town of Arrow Rock. Well worth seeing for young and old alike. Start of the Santa Fe Trail, home of George Caleb Bingham, famous painter, historic J. Huston Tavern, which dates back to 1834 and provides a dining experience in the oldest continuously operating restaurant west of the Mississippi River.
But it is further than you wished. But still worth a visit.

Kan do Kampground is near exit 170... It was a nice little campground several years ago. nicely laid out in a circle, etc. It's about a half mile off the interstate.

We have used Cottonwoods RV Park in Columbia, MO a couple of times when heading west.
