Cahokia RV Parque

The good- nice staff, affordable price for full hookups, the restaurant on site does barbecue.
The bad - sits right off route 3 which is very loud, very tight sites, about 8ft between campers.
Would not stay again.

So far we've stayed here three times. I'm sure we will be back again when we are in the St. Louis area. The RV park is ample for our needs and has plenty of room to park an RV pulling a trailer. The real draw for us is the restaurant on the property. Sawmill BBQ has the most mouth-watering BBQ you can imagine. Just think of the best BBQ you can imagine. Sawmill BBQ is way better than that.

This is a fairly nice RV park. We stayed here in our tent while passing through on our way out west. The old couple working the desk are really sweet. The pool is clean and the BBQ restaurant on the premises is grest (and you get a discount). This place isn't very secluded, but if you are looking for a place to look while visit St. Louis, this place is pretty nice.

Pluses: The people are really nice, they have a shuttle you can pay to take you to the arch and other sites, nice bathrooms, good bbq joint on site, playground, full hook ups, good tv reception, good WiFi

Minuses:,It’s an RV Park next to a highway, sites very close, not a place I’d pick if hanging out at the campsite is your goal.

This was our 3rd time staying here. The park is in an excellent location for visiting everything in St. Louis, and they have a shuttle which makes it so much easier than driving into the city and finding parking. We received the monthly rate for our most recent stay because we chose to shelter in place there due to COVID. It was nice that they were open and welcoming. The staff is super helpful and friendly! They even delivered my packages right to my door whenever I needed to order something from Amazon. The Sawmill BBQ onsite restaurant has excellent food and service, making it very convenient when you don't feel like cooking dinner. Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile all worked well. The only drawback is some of the sites are really close together, especially the sites that back up to one another. Thankfully the park was not full when we were there, and the staff does a great job of spreading people out when that's the case so you don't feel too crowded by a neighbor. I'm also very thankful that they did not charge us extra for kids like so many RV parks do these days.

Pros:
- Amazing BBQ restaurant on site - seriously, one of the best we've found in the whole country (lean, flavorful meats, delicious sauces that are not too sweet or too tangy, and their BBQ nachos are worth every calorie)
- Wonderful covered dock with feeder for turtles and fish - great for enjoying morning coffee or relaxing sunsets
- Lots of yard space for dog walks and a small, well equipped playground for kids

Cons:
- Neighborhood is extremely industrial with occasional chemical smells based on the direction the wind blows
- During our stay, two undercover K-9 police were staked out and casing the RV park for nearly 6 hours
- Police sirens and train horns throughout the day and illegal fireworks shot off most evenings (in late July)
- Uneven sites with lots of gravel and weeds; sites are also extremely small in both length and width
- Pond is very murky (totally not swimmable) but we did not notice that smell that other reviews mentioned
- Wifi is completely spotty - sometimes very strong and sometimes completely non-existent

Pet-friendly, full hookups, space for our larger rig and parking around for extra vehicle. Laundry and propane on site. Spaces were a little close together, but minutes from downtown St. Louis, and staff was friendly and accommodating. Also, fantastic restaurant right on site -- Sawmill BBQ!

We are a fulltime traveling nurse family. This location was perfect for our time in STL. the pool and restaurant were a great addition especially during the summer months.
Since we stayed 3 months we didn’t use the pull through sites. However they appeared to be easy to get into and out of.
The biggest benefit to this Parque was its location to St. Louis. 12min or so to get to the Gateway arch, 20min to the STL Zoo.
If we ever work another contract in STL or are just passing through we will definitely stay here again.

Sites are close together with full hook ups. Staff was very friendly and had a shuttle to drive you to St. Louis -very helpful. We enjoyed the pool - refreshing. The area was a concern from other comments but never felt unsafe. There was a code to get in the bathrooms and shower. Would recommend for it’s convenience.

We spent a quiet night here on a roadtrip with a stop to see the gateway arch. Took us less than 10 minutes to get to the visitor center. Park had nice clean bathrooms, playground and pool perfect for family camping.
