Nice state park. Appeared to be well maintained

Been here a few times. There are so many lovely ways to get lost. I found it breathtaking. The park is well manicured and the restrooms are surprisingly spotless. I would 100 percent say this park is worth a visit. I really love the trails…..and the best part is that there are caves, I have no idea why caves are scary and intriguing but they are!

Staff was courteous, and the park was maintained and clean for the most part. Excellent literature on the park and all activities. Mostly friendly campers. Full hookup sites are very close together. Sites without sewer offer more space. Hiking trails were beautiful.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

We personally always swim in the Meramec river. They are tons of different places on the river itself you can try. We would go down to one of the main access points they have in the park and then walk along the banks to a spot where no one was. That worked well for us.
