St. Louis West/Historic Route 66 KOA Campground & Cabins in die Vereinigten Staaten

Our stay was limited to just one night, which might have been the root of our issues. It seems like long-term guests or club members get preference for flat spots. We were given two options for spots, but neither were flat, either from side to side or front to back. It looked like they had simply thrown gravel on the ground without any attempt to make it level. Spot A10 is very close to a poorly maintained, uneven access road. As we traversed the campground, it seemed most spots were in similar condition. Considering the cost, I had anticipated a more well-kept and level campground. We spent a night at a rival campground in Memphis and plan to return there. The only reason anyone would pay these rates for this spot is its closeness to Six Flags. If this is representative of current KOA campgrounds, they have significantly declined in quality.

This campground would be great for a family weekend trip, or to use as a basecamp to explore St. Louis. It is minutes from Six Flags and 30 to 45 minutes from anything else you might want to visit in the city. While the campground isn't huge, it was surrounded by some wooded hills and has many mature trees so it still feels like you are camping. Our three-year-old had a great time riding his bike around the mostly paved roads. We were in town for softball tournament, but because of some rain were able to spend more time in the campground than expected. We also drove to the zoo (definitely worth a visit!) which was around a 30-minute drive. This campground is under new management and they have made some upgrades for this year. The pool has been repainted and the furniture was new. We were there early in the season after several rains and the pool was chilly for adults, but fine for kids (it is heated). There is also a new barrel train for the kids to ride. They had several planned activities throughout the weekend including a bounce house which our kids enjoyed. The campground was very clean and the staff were extremely helpful. We picked up a nail in one of our tires and they couldn't have been more helpful. I would say that the playground is a bit small and best suited for younger kids (maybe under 5). Verizon LTE coverage was good throughout the campground. AT&T was a bit weaker and I noticed my phone dropped from LTE to 4G a couple of times. I don't think I would count on an AT&T connection if you need to work. I did test out the campgrounds Wi-Fi and found it to be fast and reliable (the campground was less than half full so it might be different on a busy holiday weekend). You are fairly close to the interstate and you can hear it when outside if you listen for it, but we didn't hear it all inside our trailer. There is also a nearby rail line. We heard one train Friday night and several Sunday mid-morning. This wasn't a problem for us, but you could hear them inside our trailer when they went through. We didn't hear any during the night and my wife is a very light sleeper. Overall, this is a really nice campground that we plan on visiting again!

This is an older KOA with mature trees, lots of birds and larger sites than many KOA's. The location is very convenient for trips into St. Louis (30-35 minutes) and to the Missouri wine region of Hermann. I was disappointed in the laundry facilities as the floor was dirty and quarters weren't available on the weekend. Overall, the campground is fairly quiet except for some train traffic.

This is a nice KOA, with lots of mature trees and very big spots. The staff is very friendly. The location is great for visiting St Louis, it is only 15 or 20 minutes into downtown. The drawbacks are that it is next to the freeway, so there is a bit of white noise. giving it four stars because the freeway noise quickly becomes background noise and the park is so nice otherwise, but if freeway noise bugs you, adjust accordingly.

The overall campground is in a nice area and for the most part is clean. There are some upgrade or maintenance projects that seem to be stalled. If you have a big rig the trees need to be trimmed as there are some low hanging branches. It looks like whenever the staff is done with anything they just push it off the side of the road and let the weeds just grow up around whatever has been discarded. Most sites are not satellite friendly but the cable package is not bad. This should be a 5 star campground and everything that is not correct could easily be fixed with someone leading a good maintenance crew. I hope the next time we visit everything is completed.
