Another one of Missouri's very good State Parks. Unfortunately it is relatively close to I-70 but the noise is not bad in summer. Campsites are relatively close together, more so than many other state parks. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed here on a trip out west. The gates were left open for late arriving travelers off I-70. The campsite was clean and the table in good repair. The restrooms were also clean with hot showers. The host was personable and shared information about the park and area. The cave was a nice short hike before getting on the road again. The late arrival was a definite plus, but the summer mosquitoes were horrible! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Very pretty park. Some noise from the interstate, but didn't drown out the birds and frogs. Camp host was a d elite. We've camped here three other times and have not been disappointed any of our visits. I would recommend this as a great place to stop along I-70. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We actually camped at Graham Cave State Park in 2004, when we still had our pop up camper, but there is no 2004 available for selection. Graham Cave is a lovely little park. You could possible get a bigger camper trailer in some of the basic non-electric sites. But there is no way to get a larger rig in the electric sites. Our pop-up at the time would barely fit in an electric site and we had to park off to the side. It is right next to I-70, so you have to listen to the whine of tires all night long. The host at the time, well, was interesting. Don't know if he is there anymore. He was very nice when we arrived, but turned on us two days later when we were leaving. He started at noon and pretty much came around every 30 minutes telling us check out time was at 2:00 pm. When he told us upon arriving it was at 3:00 pm and the paper he handed us also said 3:00 pm. We made sure we were out by 2:00 pm. I'm not sure why he was so worried as we were the only campers in the entire campground that weekend. The cave, is sort of interesting if you know in advance it's mostly just a rock overhang. It's not a cave in my opinion, since I've been in probably 50 caves. The surroundings were nice though with some interpretive markings along the trails. It's too bad we can't submit images, as I have some nice images of the nature in this park, just not of the cave, since I was disappointed in the cave. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We stayed two nights as we were passing through. We were only going to stay one night but we had time and the park was so nice we stayed an extra night. Very helpful, friendly employees, easy maneuvering and very pretty grounds. This was a very peaceful park. We would stay again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a lovely park with a sparkling pool, attractive flowers, and very clean laundry and restrooms. Wi-Fi worked fine and there were a few local TV channels. It is close to the freeway exit, but we did not hear any traffic noise. The sites were not all level, but we were assigned one where we did not have to unhook. We will return when in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
If you have forgotten what a really nice campground is then stop by Lazy Days in Montgomery City. This is a beautifully laid out park with lots of space for your RV, lots of grass, gravel base on all roads and on the sites. Our site was 40+ feet wide, wide enough to park our car next to the motorhome with plenty of room to spare. There is absolute silence day and night though we are only about a mile from I-70. The only thing they don't have is cable TV but you can get 11 channels if you don't have a satellite dish. We camped here in a Motorhome.
On our way back to New Jersey after our cross country vacation we stopped at this campground which is conveniently off I-70 and quiet. No trains. Only occasional highway traffic noise. Sites are terraced and well kept. Owner enjoys gardening and this is evident in the many beautiful gardens around the pool and store. The pool was backyard sized and pretty. My family and I enjoyed the Ladders game made available near the horseshoes pits. Ended the night with a campfire and stargazing. A wonderful rest stop! We camped here in a Motorhome.
The pull-thru sites are very generous. The staff is very helpful and friendly. It is about a mile off the interstate, but very quiet - no highway noise. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
