This is a decent spot, if all you need is a place to spend the night close to the city-but don’t expect more than that. It is overpriced for what you get, and there is no on-site support at all (nobody on site to run the campground). A freight train comes the park several times during the night, and woke us up even over our air-conditioner running. There are two distinct sides to the park-one was smaller spaces that is nicely treed for shade, and one that has larger spaces but no shade. The whole thing is on gravel and concrete, so it heats up quickly. When we arrived, we were registered to stay on the shaded side but our 24 foot travel trailer (which is actually 28 feet tip to tip) didn’t even come close to fitting into the spot assigned to us. A quick call to the front desk remedied the situation by putting us on the other side of the park, the downside is that they charged us an additional $10 and there are no shade trees on the other side. Overall, we would probably not stay again unless we were simply trying to stay close to the city-as it is only 10 minutes from the arch, ye ballpark and downtown St. Louis.

I was going to give them 2 stars but it may have just been the fact that it was a holiday. So I will rate it one more star. When I arrived RVs, portable shad tents and power cords blocked me from getting to my site. No on site management. Sites were to small for the rigs that were there. Some rigs were running into the trees avoiding other rigs. Each site has full hook-ups. You are parked on Asphalt that is level. There is free rides to the Casino where you can get something to eat.

Not bad for a stopping point or if you’re interested in hitting up the casino. East St Louis is a bit sketchy but downtown bridge access is right outside the gates. RV sites are adjacent to the metro rail, which runs regularly, and another standard rail line. The metro rail noise isn’t bad but it is there. The standard rail, isn’t loud at all since they seem to idle by. Spots on the north side are lined with trees which made it difficult for anyone to extend their awnings. Parking is almost nonexistent if you have a large rig. We have a 29’ TT and two vehicles and we were able to cram them on our spot otherwise you have to park 1/4 m away at the casino. Those w/motor coaches had to park their toads in adjacent sites in the hopes that no one checks in- someone was parked in ours when we arrived. No casino staff is on site and reservations have to be made online. The playground is poor, consisting of a slide, teeter-tauter and two swings. Overall, 4 stars for cleanliness and condition of facilities. It serves its purpose but isn’t much more than a well kept rv parking lot with hook-ups.

Watch for RV Park sign as you come around curve on River Park. Keeps you out of casino parking lot.
Secured RV Park. All concrete and asphalt with nice landscaping.
Sights are slightly sloped to one side?
RV hookups good. WiFi excellent
Nice facilities. Shower head broke and no heat in ladies bathroom. Hotel immediately acknowledged and sending repairs.
Can be noisy with traffic, metro, and rail all surrounding. Sleep with a fan on, no problem.
Security patrol by frequently. RV Park is gated, fenced and secured.

Everyone was very kind & courteous. Clean park. Security on
site. Short walk to the Metro. $5 to Busch stadium. Or free shuttle.
We stayed an extra night & we're late checking out due to mechanical
problem. No up charge for late checkout. Be sure to check for level
site if you can.

Great campground for a visit to St Louis. Casino has a courtesy bus that picks you up at the campground and delivers you to the casino or the train station. The Arch is just 2 train stops away. Courtesy bus arrives within a minute of calling them!

We stayed just one night, it was a nice quiet, clean campground and easy access to the arch downtown walking or metro and tons to do and see downtown! Manager of campground was very nice and accommodating:) and lots of security around the whole area felt very safe with 4 young kids in tow! They had shuttles from the campground to the metro.

Good place to visit the city. Basically a parking lot but clean and secure. Bit of train noise but didn't bother us. Nice lady working the desk. Very close to metro- park your car at the casino and hop on to visit St Louis.

Definitely nothing fancy. What it lacks for in character it makes up for in convenience to downtown. You can take pictures of the arch with your camper in it as well which is cool. The web site seemed to imply motorhomes only but 5th wheels and travel trailers also welcome.
Pros: close to city and very convenient. Easy access to interstate, so makes for a good night stop over. Security rides to casino. Metro and uber pick up. Good Sam campground. Full hook ups with 50 amp service.
Cons: trains rumbling by all night. Small sites. Kids over 7 are extra. Pricey. Casino food and service is the worst I have seen at any casino I have been to. Internet did not work.

Overnight stay while passing through. Clean and easy to access. Fully paved asphalt, gravel ovals between sites. Some trees but not much shade. A bit overpriced for a casino, I am more used to seeing casinos cut their facility rates so that you will get into the casino. Right across the
River from the arch.
