St. Louis Mo camp ground

[etrichmond]

We are getting ready to go to St. Louis this June for Cardinals game and some site seeing we have a 12 year old boy. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good camp ground in that area.

If you stay at casino queen, the casino will take you to the ballpark on a bus and bring you back after the game. no charge, no parking, easy as it gets. Anything else in St. Louis you will have to drive to or take the rail. Not hard to get over the river to St Louis, but DO NOT GO INTO EAST ST. LOUIS,go only to the interstate. If you have kids, lots to do in St L. Zoo is great (free, pay for parking) grants farm (clydsdale horses), transportation museum in southwest county, tour of Bud brewery, think they still have riverboat cruises, and of course the arch and museum below it. Have fun.

We stay at Edmund Babler State Park. It's an easy commute into the city. It has large sites, expansive well-manicured lawns, many trees and an overall excellent park. It's huge. Great for bike riding, too.

You are correct about the are of the Casino Queen, not very good in E St Louis. You can always catch the Metro to the games, but you would have to drive to anything else in St Louis area. If you are coming from Arkansas you would probably come up I55, stay on I55 headed towards Illinois, stay on right hand lanes and you would get off 3rd St exit and come out on Broadway in
E St Louis, turn to the left and head toward the river again, at the Eads bridge stay to the right and follow street to the Casino Queen on your left and the RV park is to the left at the back pf property.

The only place we have stayed in St. Louis was at the Casino Queen RV Park that is part of the Casino just across the river from the Arch. We were just passing thru and were there for only one night. As I recall they advertise transportation across the river into the city, but I can't verify that because weren't there long enough to check it out. The park itself is on the casino property and it is very clean and secure. Of course they want you into the casino and we did go there, but only to enjoy a good meal! One word of caution; it's not in a very good part of town, and being unfamiliar with the area and the fact that it was after dark it was tough for us to figure out the right exit to actually get on the property, but once we go there it was a good deal and secure and very nice.
