This is a lovely campground and we would definitely stay here again – in cooler weather during the off season for camping. We were next to the river but the view was obscured by the trees and growth. We could occasionally hear boats going past. The campground was extremely crowded the weekend of our stay which meant more people using the bathhouse and toilets. The campground staff could not keep up with cleaning the facilities during high traffic times. Earlier in the year the campground was under water so much sand remained from the flooding. Our site had full hook-ups including sewer. The electric power quality was good. The water connection couldn’t be tightened enough to prevent a small continuous spray that kept the area wet around it. We could not pick up any AM or FM radio stations. Some campers who had satellite dishes did have television reception. However, most cell phones could not get a signal. This was August so we did have bugs and gnat type flies in abundance. Mosquitoes didn’t seem to be a huge problem. The area has lots of trees that add to the woodsy setting. The trees had started to drop some leaves, some walnuts and sap. The campground is well patrolled and quiet hours seem to be enforced. Our directions from Internet mapping services were inaccurate for this area. We found it best to use the directions provided by the campground website. If you miss the turn into the campground entrance, it’s hard to find a place to turn around. This is a very scenic campground and we plan to return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great state park and campground. We spent a week in one of the full hook up sites which are located across from the river (you can't see the river due to the vegetation). Because this campground flooded twice in March the 'riverfront' sites were full of sand which, naturally got everywhere. We took the Meramec Caverns tour - it is commercially run and about 20 minutes from the campground - we much preferred the Fisher cave tour which is located within the campground. We also did a river float which was enjoyed by everyone. The town of Sullivan is close by and contains a Wal-Mart Supercenter for all your shopping needs. There is also a very nice city-run swimming pool which we enjoyed one afternoon. We had no problems accessing the roadways or sites in our 40 foot coach and would definitely stay here again We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a beautiful park..quiet and well kept...the employee at the gate was friendly and helpful...a great place to stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground at one point had to be a KOA that has closed down due to the design (A-Frame) of the building. It is right on old route 66, about 3 miles from the Sullivan exit off I-44. When we arrived, it was nearly empty. It was strange but the staff running the campground didn't take down any information from us, just took our $20 and showed us to a site. The campground is decent enough, but the showerhouse was lacking. It has a nice pool with a vortex in the middle strong enough to suck down your first born or a small dog. They were preparing for some sort of festival when we were there, but we were afraid to ask what for. We camped here in a Motorhome.
