Nancy, Meramec SP is a great place to go. Almost all SPs have full
facilities in their campground. Most have playgrounds for kids as well as
tons of nature trails. A few have caches as well.. :)
Meramec SP or Meramec Springs are pretty good fo novice campers.

> 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.

Roughing it has it's limits.
