This was a convenient place to stay with the camper while we visited St. Louis. The area has a bit of sketch to it and the smell of weed blew through the campground at night... 9/14/2023

Nice campground very clean. Friendly staff 9/28/2023

I had the pleasure in stopping over for the night after nearly completing a 2-week road trip. I can actually say that I enjoyed relaxing and getting a good night's sleep. The site was clean and staff was friendly and attentive. 9/26/2023

They accommodated my late arrival. The app actually worked to take my reservation for this stay. The entrance is not marked or lit as well as others I have stayed at. 9/26/2023

Not a bad place to stay a few nights. I stayed in a cabin and was overall good. Beds were a little uncomfy but all i needed was a place to sleep a couple nights. 9/25/2023

Great location, great park, convenient to the sites and family we wanted to see in the area. Should have paid attention to where the train tracks were, but I'm an early riser so I was up by the 6 am train. 9/22/2023

Sites clean. Staff nice enough. Laundry closed at 5 and the office closed at 6. We had lots of laundry to do but we had been on the road and got there at about 515 so we were out of luck there. 9/22/2023

Finally a friendly staff 9/17/2023

Bathrooms were awesome. Site sewer hook up did not have screw in ability, needed to get rocks to maintain connection. Although in an industrial area campground nice. With climate warming I don’t think pools should be closing after Labor Day weekend... 9/14/2023

We enjoyed our stay. Staff very friendly and helpful. Very clean park and restrooms. Only comment is they need to have stronger internet. But will be back next year. 9/12/2023

Friendly staff, easy check in, clean well groomed campground and site, nice showers. 9/12/2023

Good stop. Tight but great for our overnight stay 9/11/2023

I rented a campsite for my RV and a cabin for my daughter and her husband. They made sure we were close to each other. The cabin and site were clean and well maintained. The camp bathrooms were also very nice. This is our third time here. 9/11/2023

Very nice people own and run it. Clean grounds and facilities. The surrounding area wasn't great but as soon as you entered the grounds it was like you left the city. 9/11/2023

Friendly staff clean park large spaces 9/11/2023

Clean, friendly and very accessible! 9/10/2023
