If there is a term that means less than novice, that would be us when it comes 
to camping.  We have or have access to the appropriate camping stuff -- now 
need a good place to go.
Can you all suggest  a good spot that has camping close to a kid-friendly 
river?  Caching would be optional as getting through CAMPING will be the first 
chore.   We've been going through the State park and Forest Service websites. 
Some even have pictures of every campsite. That's a great website feature, but 
having never been there, it's hard to tell if they are good sites or not. 

I remember camping as a kid and we seemed to always be able to camp right on or 
very close to little river bank or a just short walk to pebbly and sandy 
beaches and shut-in type rivers ( somehow hippies, drugs and snakes in relation 
to the Shut-ins comes to mind too),  Of course, I sort of remember a few 
evacuations also. (Hmmmmmmm and now that I'm off topic, the fear of Mo-Mo the 
Monster is a predominate memory form a few Table rock State Park area camping 
trips.)  The parentals seem to think these places might have been Meramec State 
Park, Meramec Caverns, Washington State Park, Silver Mines. Things change in 35 
years.

Oh yes, very modern, potty and shower facilities close by would be lovely too  
LOL. 

Previously we had been the  sleep-in-a-van-bring-a-microwave types.  Roughing 
it has it's limits. 

All suggestions from the experts are gladly accepted.
