Midwest Camping
What are some of the best places to camp throughout the midwest? This is our second year camping with our little family, and wanting to start venturing out more than our usual 20-100 mile trips.

Black Gold,
We're located right outside of StL and really enjoy the camping we have right in our backyard. It sounds like you've already done Rend Lake, but keep in mind there are several different campgrounds to try. Since you seem to enjoy camping around the lakes there are COE campgrounds at Carlyle Lake, Johnson Shut-Ins (Mo), Sam A Baker (MO) is a great park, the kids may enjoy Elephant Rocks State Park (MO) if they are not too young, I think someone has already mentioned French Lick (IN), and you can't forget Lake Rudolph Campground in Santa Claus (IN).
Hope these help.
