Meramec is a nice campground. Onondaga has a nice new campground. Both
of them take reservations. Robertsville State Park has a campground but
it's not close to the river. Garrisons campground down by Steelville is
nice and they have camping close to the river. It's very family
friendly.
Hope that helps
Tim

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.
