St. Louis recomendations

[GIFCo147]

Greetings all!
The boys and I will be in St. Louis for a few days and I need some ideas for a camp site. Clean, safe, and reasonably close to St. Louis. Fishing would be a plus for the lads. Generally, we prefer state/national park type camping over RV parks, but I am open to ideas. Electricity would be nice!

Feel free to chime in on sites to see in the area, too!

Hello. There is a nice park run by the City of St. Peters that has a lake for fishing. Also bike/hiking trail (bikes can be rented). It is off 370 at Truman Blvd.

Last year we stayed at the Pacific KOA and it was a typical KOA. But then we had some friends who were camp hosts at Meramec Springs State Park so we stayed there for a few days last July and it was really nice. Full hook-ups and right along the river. Nice group of campers but I would avoid holiday week-ends. Also, if you go watch out for the low hanging branch (huge) just after the check-in booth. There was a sign for it but I almost hit it as we were leaving. I would stay here again.

Thanks for the replies! We stayed at Babler State Park. Very nice, very clean, and quiet. heading down 66 more tomorrow!

Glad to hear about Babler. We're heading there this coming July for DW family reunion.
