report on 2 campgrounds

We recently went to Missouri to see our 4 grand children.We picked up the 2 oldest and took them with us to St Francois State park about 50 miles south of St Louis.This is a beautiful camp ground with alot of shade.It has electric,water hydrants through out the loop and a dump station.The rest rooms are nice with a decent amount of individual showers.There are many pull throughs and pull offs,with a few back ins.It will fit any size RV. There is a lazy flowing river for wading and a number of trails for hiking.The campground hosts were very nice.
There is a Walmart about 10 miles south in Deslodge.
On the way out and back,we stayed at Indian/Celina Lakes southslope campground.The sites were very nice,wooded and isolated from each other.They have electric hookups.Again the bath houses were nice with individual showers.The bad part is the roads in the campground are very narrow making it difficult to manouver when backing in as all the sites are back ins.In many places the narrow roads drop off into drainage ditches so it could be a bad day if you got into one of them.We have a 27 ft TT and I would not take anything larger.There is no dump station but they have water through out the loop.We didn't get to the lake so I can't comment on them.But for smaller campers,this make for a nice campground.

    I did go to Trip Advisor as I had posted on there before.It looks like they have a new website and I saw nowhere to post review of a campground.It seems more slanted towards hotels.

    I put it under hotels/accommodations. Other campgrounds are in that section as well.
