We're a snow bird couple with a 36' HR Endeavor, plus a 12' Wells Cargo trailer. Escaping from the Chicago area late, we searched for a park where we could rest and replace the anti-freeze with fresh water. We found the Ladybug RV Park beautiful, clean, and open 12 months of the year. Ladybug is located on Route 44, at exit 203. The park is right at the exit and we highly recommend it for those going through anytime of the year. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great RV park, with very friendly owners. The bathrooms and showers were very clean and maintained daily. The prices in the store were very low, these people are not out to get your money. Free fishing on site, free firewood, just a wonderful place to take a family. Full hook-ups and everything worked great. Thanks for a wonderful time! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had a very nice stay at this park. The office girl went at of her way to make our one night stay great. She told us about the tankless water heater they have in the showers, it took a couple of seconds to get hot then we had a nice long shower after a long day of driving. Nice place to walk after supper and no extra loud folks anywhere in the park. We will stay here again on the way back through. It's easy to find from I-44. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Price was for Escapees. The lady in the office was nice. They have gravel spaces. Shower was push-on, and water lasted for about 15 seconds so I had to continually push. They say they have Wi-Fi, but it didn't work at all. They said to come to the office, but I couldn't get connected there either. The lady did let me get on her computer to check my e-mail. There was no TV available. I probably would not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We picked this park based on previous reviews. It is a gem of a park to spend a couple days. It's just off I-44 but has very little road noise due to the many trees that surround the park. Owner was very friendly: met us as we drove into the park, guided us to our site and asked if we needed anything to make ourselves at home. Nice pool for a cooling off spot after a long day behind the wheel. Would recommend this park to anybody wanting a quiet & restful stopover. Price reflects Escapees rate. Park is a new Escapees listing and they are proud to be a participant of that club. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Ladybug is a very nice private RV park and campground with new owners who are making improvements to the facility. It is ideal for an overnight stay or as a destination campground. All the services we used worked well (30 amp electric, water, sewer). The sites are gravel and grass and nicely spaced with fire rings and picnic tables at each site. The bathhouse is functional and clean. A pavilion and newly renovated swimming pool are on the campground. Open fields, treed areas, and a nice pond are also part of the landscape. Even though the campground does not offer Wi-Fi or television service, the nightly rate is a good value for the amenities and setting. The campground does offer a pleasant country and park setting that is easily accessible from Interstate 44 (exit 203) and Historic Route 66. The nearest retail, groceries, gas stations, and restaurants are in Cuba (Exit 208) or St. James (Exit 195). We have found Ladybug to be a good midway stopping point when we travel across Missouri. The hosts are friendly, hard working, and attentive. We will definitely be repeat visitors to Ladybug. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The hostess was very helpful and friendly. Spaces are large with picnic tables, grill, and fire ring. Just 1/4 mile to highway with easy access. Pool and play ground. Very neat and tidy. We will be going back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed at this RV park for 7 months and I couldnt ask for anyone nicer than the owners of Ladybug RV park. They are the kind of people you are better person for knowing. The park is really nice. The area is very quiet and relaxing. There is a pool. The bathrooms are cute and very clean. Its just a really great place to stay and get away from all the hustle and bustle most people are used to. If you want clean, friendly, and quiet, then this is your RV park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a "Coast to Coast" property but we stayed with a Passport America 50% discount. We stayed with a 41 ft RV plus Jeep in a pull through. It has heavily wooded, narrow sites, no TV, no satellite, bad roads, barking dogs until 11 PM. One night was enough! We camped here in a Motorhome.
We only spent one night here, lots of kids running around. The sites are small for larger units we did alright with the 5th wheel. We will not stay again, had a hard time getting back to the site in the dark. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very poor overall. This was a private park that has opened itself up to the public due to financial reasons. We did find the pool area OK. As for the campsites and staff: an overall 0. They did not have any idea how to operate a campground. It was a Yogi Bear Park at one time and it as if Yogi himself is still running it. They will assign you a site and if a Member comes in and wants your site, out you go. I would not, and will not stay at this facility again. Hopefully they will be closed by next year and a real campground company will be here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This RV place is not a normal RV park. Its privately owned and reminded me of girl scout summer camp. We didnt have any problems with anyone there when we stayed last summer. Badest part was the mosquitoes for me. My fiancee also got some weird rash on his legs when he walked the dog thru the trails (with long pants on!) inside the park. May have been poison Ivy or chigger bites. Stay on the roads and you should be ok. There's an olympic sized pool there, but they had already closed it for the season by the time we got there. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were in a 40' MH and there was a 18" elevation from the front to rear jacks in the two spots we were assigned. The auto-leveling system would not override the terrain conditions. The sewer would only accept a half open valve setting, and still overflowed. Low Overhanging branches are a hazard to the antennas. We left without getting our money back-I would have paid another $14.00 just to leave. This is a good park for popups and small units, not for a forty foot Motorhome if you value your windshields, paint and antennas. This is a typical Passport park which is nicely suited for families in small units. Enter at your own peril. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a members only park. They have opened 25 to the public. Very nice campground. This campground is a hidden gem. Rate is Passport America. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Passport America rate. Sites were large, but rough gravel. Interior roads were also rough gravel with some washouts. OK to navigate, but at a real slow pace. We were off season, but there did appear to be a lot here for families, a lot of permanents, but they have their own area. We would stay again if passing through. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great Park. Stayed 2 weeks and were able to visit with our kids and grandkids. 2 large pools, hot tub. Family oriented. We stayed under our C2C membership. Wonderful staff. Friendly all around. Highly recommended. We camped here in a Motorhome.
