Nice level site. Host was friendly & helpful. We just spent one night. We have stayed here before while traveling. Would recommend. Only downside is the company that books the site on-line charges you almost $7 extra just to book it. You’d be better off calling the campground to book vs booking on-line.

Campground has good amenities (pool, deluxe & standard cabins, multi-purpose building, etc…). Our family is a mix of campers and cabin rentals and it works out nicely here. Something we love is that you’re not bogged down by a bunch of rules. The deluxe cabins cost more, but it is definitely glamping! Your own kitchen and full bathroom in the cabin. It’s wonderful. Amanda was great! She made sure we had everything we needed and that we were having fun! This campground isn’t good for fishing and doesn’t have walking trails. Also, roads are gravel so bike riding isn’t great.

We stayed for this Labor Day weekend. All I can say is that the camp manager Amanda is absolutely fantastic! She had such a positive attitude and she worked so hard! Great experience

I camped here with my grandsons after visiting Meramec Caverns. Very convenient location. Facilities were very clean. Pool was great. Amanda is the best! She greeted us with a great warm welcome. I felt like part of her family. Amanda goes above and beyond all expectations. My grandsons loved every part of this camping trip. They want to come back! I will definitely make this a tradition with them.

So close to all of the areas attractions, full hookups, has great spots for my buddies that are in to tent camping. On site staff, this lady was amazing! Helped us from start to finish! Didn’t get firewood before the store closed so she drove around the campground and got us some downfall! Talk about customer service man! Like a best kept secret, all the other campgrounds this close don’t have sewer, these guys do. Easy to get into. My friend who lives near this location recommended we stay here, dude was right. Definitely coming back!

Stayed one night in 5th wheel, long enough to stay hooked up in the pull through, full hookup sites. Very nice front desk staff.

This was a great find. We had originally hoped to book a stay in St. Louis, but the parks were full. We're so glad we ended up here instead! We had a fantastic time visiting the caverns nearby and enjoyed the peaceful stay here, with just the amenties we needed: laundry and bathhouse and a dog park (& more when it's not off-season). The office staff was friendly, and we had a great week. To check out our full review, watch on YT ("TK n Earl").

Great little place to stay. Snowed on us but got in no problem. Came in late so didn't talk to staff but they had my slot saved and info up on the board. They have restrooms and showers plus a dog park area. Right off the highway so super convenient. Truly recommend!

We had a pull thru site with full hook-ups, which was good besides you had very limited space between sites. We had like 6 feet of grass between sites. So I could smell the sewer when I cooked using my outdoor kitchen. Close to some nice attractions!

Me and my boyfriend arrived on a Friday evening. Office was already closed but there was an envelope with my name waiting for us. When we arrived to our tent site we were immediately thrown off, as we were expecting a water hookup and and a picnic, per online advertisement. There is actually only 1 tent sight with a picnic table, and none with water hookups. The water hookups aren’t where they say they will be on the map, they’re actually across the way on the RV sites. There were also two very large dogs roaming the property while we camped. They seem like they’re probably owned by someone who lives on a completely different property, but with the barking and them coming so close, it did get a bit nerve wracking. The bathrooms were nice, warm, and clean. And the campgrounds overall were clean and well taken care of. We wanted to love this place, as it’s only an hour away from where we live. We’re just a bit frustrated with the false advertising.

Nice clean campground just off of Interstate 44. Friendly and helpful staff. Campground has several long pull throughs that could accommodate my 65 foot setup. I have a fifth wheel that I tow with a converted semi truck.

I recently spent several days at this campground. It is currently under new ownership, Kiefer Campgrounds.You can definitely tell from the remodel inside and out. There is a new manager named Melinda and she is so nice and helpful. I noticed that even when it was past closing time she was still trying to do things and accommodate us campers. I loved the clean bathrooms! Free popcorn and cookies at check-in that was delicious. The game rooms were quite fascinating as well. I will be back. Keep up the good work and thank you for making us feel like we were at our home away from home.

Easy stopover, friendly staff! Sites are a little tight.

We stayed overnight while passing through on I-44 11/06/21: The Hosts for this park are very friendly and a joy to talk with and are the park treasure. The park sites are OK but not perfectly level but you can find a level spot if you listen to the hosts. Easy in / out to I-44. There is a train that goes by in the night and the interstate is a little noisy but we will return since it is so convenient; otherwise, it is a 3 star place.
