Reviews of St. Francois State Park

Laura Kelley

Cute, small campground that was very clean. Sites are close to each other- reminded me of a KOA. Most of the sites are pull through which is nice. Pros: activities for kids, nice hikes and well maintained, beautiful area, friendly camp hosts. ice and firewood sold on site Cons: small sites, no main water fill Station so you are stopped in the road to fill up and there is only 1 dump station site when you leave. We were in site 40 which is a pull through off the shoulder and looked up a hill. Not my favorite spot but 41 had a much more level view and was closer to the playground.

Highly recommend wouldn't go when it recently rained though. Place gets really muddy and slick. Unless you're a hiker then it's an easy quick hike. Closes at Dark

Alisha Hagen

Beautiful place to stop and stretch. We got out and walked a little ways on the trail. Water was super clear and clean and there was tons of wildlife. We seen 5 different butterflies, birds, and a BIG water moccasin was right by the bridge in the water. They also have grills,picnic tables and a playground.

Tina Overkamp

Beautiful clean park. Mostly shady areas. Very family friendly. Wasn't crowded at all since we decided to go on a hot weekend.

Tom R Baker

A beautiful state park with clean facilities and the knowledgeable staff. We are typically there in the spring in the Motor vehicle campground is exceedingly packed. If you have one chance to go try to go around Easter time when the blue bells are opening up along the creek trail.

joshua pullen

Another Great place to bike, hike, camp, kayak, tube, an relax. Shower house an host were Great!

Oakley Coleman

Great place for hiking with several trails to choose from. The trails are well marked and relatively easy.

Leah Benham

Very beautiful trail, but after a rain it can gett really muddy. So bring extra shoes. All of the hidden gems are off in the woods by the trails. Huge rock formations just tucked away in the forest. Nice clean stream in the creek with the most beautiful rocks. Definitely going back again

Leah MANNING

Beautiful place to enjoy the outdoors. Nice bathrooms.

Tony Conte

Fantastic state park with nice campground that's pretty inexpensive with clean showers and bath house. Pretty awesome hiking trails that are pretty easy, but quite beautiful. B picnic tables on the river playground and a couple of nice spots to walk down to the water.

joseph mudd

Absolutely love this place! I go running here quite frequently because it's so rarely busy. Beautiful scenery, it's always clean, and it feels very safe. It's a great place to go running, walking, or to take a picnic!

Renee Wilmesherr

We went to Swimming Deer Trail late April and it was prime time for blue bells. We went on a rainy day but the wildflowers were amazing. Highly recommended.

Kelsay Watkins

Absolutely love this park. Mooners hallow trail is my favorite trail. Plenty of water access for pups or for you to cool off in. Its about 4 miles long. A good challenge. There is also a part where you have to cross the creek as part of the trail. This is so unique I absolutely love it 💜 …

Chackie Jan

Wonderful little campground. Nice hikes with some places to chill in the water. Lots of great foliage. It was a bit muddy at parts, but nothing crazy. Good place for families and pets even.

Adam McCleary

Beautiful scenic trail. With crystal clear streams, small caves and bluffs. And dolomite crystals everywhere you look. Love this park.

John Wenzara

Great park .... Nice trails and lots of nature wildlife and beautiful scenery with lots of history and friendly staff

Michael Frodyma

Some of the trails can be really thick! We were here on a wet and rainy day and it really added to an enjoyable hike. Highly recommend all the trails although bug spray is a huge must with the grasses as thick as they are in places.

Seth Lindsey

As other reviewers have noted, this place is only an hour south of STL, making for an easy after work drive for the weekend. The proximity to the Big River and its hiking trails make for plenty to do. The electric campground is nice in that the slots are pull-thru, and were pleasantly surprised with the lack of mosquitoes. However, for some reason, the electric hookups on at least some of the campgrounds is on the curb side. The pit toilet was nasty (even for a pit toilet), and the shower gives 5 seconds of water for each press of the button. Overall, definitely a good campground and decent place to visit, just not one of the best encountered so far.

Robyn Mikusch

We love the park in the spring when the blue bells are blooming. Nice canopy of of trees for hikes. Going to the river is great in the summer, but could use a better way to get to the gravel beach. Wear water shoes! Less crowded in fall. Very crowded in the summer.

Mike LeFever

Nice state Park. Hiked the Swimming Deer Trail 😀 nice trail with some elevation change, rocky in some places. Wish we had more time to hike some of the others. Stayed 2 nights at the campground, the camp hosts were very nice. …

robert kelso

Great trails, nice shower house/restrooms, and the campsites are clean and we'll kept

Caleb Russell

Great access to a shallow river (Big River) for the kids. Rocks and sand banks with a small current in the deeper portions. The kids were able to enjoy the water and weather and stay safe. The access to the river is a little rough due to having to walk down the bank. Their are multiple access points and two or three playgrounds. Its never been crowded when we've gone which is a huge plus. I'm not sure how accessible it would be with a wheelchair or other considerations.

Ashton Doran

Great River access! The restrooms were very clean. It has small hikes to enjoy too. The campsites were a little smaller with TONS of large families. Overall, we would come back. Just lacked more private campgrounds.

darla sturgeon

A great one day get away!!! But you can camp there as well!!! Love this place.

Jeff Mays

Pike Run Trail. I love this trail. Not much of a mountain bike trail but great for hikers and equestrian. Very clean trail, no dog poop bags and very little trash. I picked up some trash I found on my hike and threw it away in the trash cans provided at the trail head. I will be back to complete the entire trail system and to do more trail clean up.

Tara Vick

This is a great state park with plenty of hiking opportunities. Please note, during the off season there is no water available so plan accordingly.

Sara Bell

This is a very nice, easy trail. It wasn't crowded at all. Definitely recommend!

Courtney Nosser

The river was really nice and the water was super clear. Very beautiful area and great place to go camping. We had a lot of fun!

Shay Hicks

Went on a Family camp trip. Everything was clean and upkept. The river was refreshing. Loved it.

Brian Wells

We love camping here. The fact there are bathrooms and showers is bonus. The camp hosts were very accommodating. There was also a park ranger that did some educational classes. Recommend.

Cheryl McGee

It's a 1/2 way stop for us to stretch our legs. It's so beautiful! We can either walk along the river, or climb among the bluffs. So quiet and peaceful!

Teresa Barker

Tucked away and so comfortable. Passing thru first week in November on way to Texas. Very helpful host and will certainly be back in Spring. Rate is great imo. Im senior and Pulling 5th wheel.

Gary Wright

The bluebells were just beautiful, dogwoods and Red buds had a good year. The trail along Big River was outstanding

Kelly Schultz

Beautiful area we loved swimming I recommend getting there early to get a good spot

Jason Clem

Very nice and well kept State Park. Lots of water. Our kids love it.

Cinnamon

Very nice staff. Great place for families with kids. There is a playground and bathrooms with showers, plus a laundry mat. Great price.

Andrea Birch

This park is so beautiful and nicely kept. The only thing is there is no access to the water for disabled or injured folks😒 …

James Kohler

Moon Hollow trail is a must for any hiker. Lots of bluff and creek views with a couple small caves.

Michael Finkelstein

Great location, located right by the Bonne Tierre Mine. Beautiful scenery, great swim hole covered in nature, great price on campground, bench and firepit 🤟 …

Wayne Kuppler

Winter camping here is great. No one here. They do have some trails that people do use in the winter. The sites are kind of level.

James Bell

This place is fantastic. Nice showers bathrooms. All the people are great.

James Bell

Awesome site. Great people. Great showers and bathrooms. Awesome.

Jasiu G

It's fantastic, many different rock formations, nice clear water creeks and rivers, overall I had a good time there.

Truman West

Some really beautiful hikes are found in this park! Seeing the bluebells in full bloom is a must do for everyone!

Jason Lumetta

A very nice and clean park. We decided to camp for the weekend. We picked an electric site to pitch a tent. Clean facilities, well maintained lawns and plenty of staff. Luckily from experience, I brought 2, 50ft extention cords to pitch tent on flatter ground. The fan was needed lol. We were on camp site 1. A water source is across the drive, so super convenient to access. The main restroom and showers was a little bit of a walk. Plenty of room in the restrooms and 8 shower rooms, that each are access from the outside. The other restroom spot is a one person, non flushing toilet, no sink. The smell is a given but at least foam sanitizer and bath tissue is provided. Wood is $5 a bundle. 7lb bag of ice is $2. They sell ice cream but not much else. A little gas station about a half mile down 67 has a few additional things, just in case. All in all, a great experience. I would come back again.

Lori Bunting

Love the campground here! It is a perfect place for families because there is space for kids to ride bikes and scooters, a playground, hiking trails and a river to relax in. Each time I've camped there the campground hosts have been friendly and helpful.

Leah Jean

Really lovely state park. A must-visit if you like to hike in Missouri.

Ben Sasser (Wapooda)

Good place for camping. Great places to hike.

Jacqueline Sell

Beautiful park we still have alot of exploring to do here. 🏞️ …

Sylvia Phillips

Great place to camp...sweetest hosts. It has large camping areas, Great showers and fun playground for kids.

Kelly Potter

First time here, love the creek running the length of the trail, plenty of places to play in the water on a hot day! Trail and creek are super rocky, definitely advise appropriate shoes. I wore my Teva Hurricanes but with the rocks and sticks, I will be wearing closed toe water shoes next time. Will be back to finish trail and explore more!

Colin Cummings

Loved this place. Great scenery. Challenging hikes. Definitely going to be coming back.

Bill Sieving (Billy D.)

Great state park. River close to camping area. We loved it. The dogs loved swimming all day

Christal Davidson

The trail we hiked was well marked and easy to follow. The bathrooms were clean.

Lynn Rinker

Easy to get to, friendly staff, and great trails. The trails here are very well marked - quite helpful! This is a great park for trail running.

Mike Sullivan

My favorite close by state park. Dogs love it family loves it and friends love it. Great place to spend a day at the river with bbq going and picnicking.

Kathryn Simpson

Had a delightful morning fishing after an overnight car camp. No fish biting, but fortunately it was breezy enough neither were the mosquitoes.

Daniel Vandaveer

Awesome trails full of great lookouts!!! Definitely coming back.

Sayed Mohammad shah Alamy

Great places for families and kids. You can make small family party and BBQ right here. There is a beautiful River around the area which you and your kids can swim 🏊‍♀️. …

Verniece Teel

This place has an outdoor playground, a nice campground and lots of room to BBQ at tge river there. They also have a nice walking trail.

Christine Scott

Beautiful, well kept, cle as n park with lots to do and beautiful hikes!

Cindy Zenker

Really nice place 1 big complaint is that people drive way to fast on the roads. Lots of children and adults riding bikes, swimming and just having fun. Our part of 10 with small children walking down to swim and this car probably was doing 40, not slowing down at all. Was really grateful that r grandson in-law was paying really close attention to the kids. He yelled at the car they just flipped him off and called us all kinds of names. Shame on them!!!!!!.

Ken Golden

It's always been a wonderful place. I've been going there since I was a kid.

Marissa Jackson

It may be the closest park to me but that's not what makes it my favorite. My daughter and I always have fun whether we are riding bikes, walking the trails, or swimming. If you are in the area you should definitely stop and check it out!!

Mike Appelbaum

Great trails no crowds.

christopher mapes

Beautiful park just outside the city. Easy access and spacious.

Kelli Valentine

Wonderful place to go wonderful place to walk All Seasons off types of people

Kevin Grimes

We camp here at least once a year and love it. Nice sized park very clean and awesome layout. We like camping by the river. River is pretty clean and has a lot of access points. It also has deep swimming holes and shallow areas you can sit and relax in.

ShoKill ! (ShoKill)

Quiet, Peaceful, Fun hike with a bit of elevation. We did the Mooners Hollow Trail.

Christy Massey

Beautiful views and lots to do. From camping and fishing to swimming/float trips to just having a picnic. Great State Park.

Mark T

Nice trail, it took about 1.5 hours. Several water crossings might be an issue during high water. On this December day there was plenty of parking.

Keith Butcher

Beautiful campground, very peaceful and secluded on a Thursday night. Deer came right into the campground loop.

Gretchen Carleton

First time camping in a few years. We tent camped. The quiet hours weren't really enforced. Pretty rowdy the weekend we stayed. The sites were nice and maintained. The access to the river was pretty washed out.

Aaron Wiig

The park itself is nice. Our campsite 86 was great. Clean bathrooms and showers. Nice playground and wading river. Unfortunately, the campground is 1.7 miles away from Bonne Terre Drag Strip. Unless you like the very noticeable sounds associated with drag racing until 10 pm or later, make sure you check their racing and practice schedule before camping...or bring a very loud noise machine / ear plugs so you (or your kids) can sleep.

Pete Powell

Terrific Camping Locale unfortunately suffering some Emerald Ash Borer issues, but at least windy days won’t mean falling branches anymore.

dawn streiler

Wonderful place to visit &/or camp. Lovely hiking trails & plenty of paved area to walk if you don't want to go in the woods. Very well maintained. Every camp host we have encountered has been kind & helpful.

Wendy. Douglas.

Very nice park with great hiking trails!

Warren Popp

Wonderful spot for camping and hiking. We have come regularly with our kids and they have a blast playing in creeks and rivers.

Jonpaul Johnson

The camp host Joe was not a nice or polite person. I will never go back as long as he is there. His wife and the other camp host couple was as kind as can be. 1 bad Host can definitely ruin your awesome time.

Katie Hergenrother

Very pretty! The creek was quite cold and swiftly moving, but that’s because it’s l’art of a river. Fun trip!

Rt Cos

Its got a nice swimming hole and a fun hike to a waterfall. Well its a tiny waterfall. Not many near St. Louis so its what you can get around here.

Christopher Fox

Great place to take dogs for walk, and play in water. Also great place just to go with hammock and coolers to relax.

Niroz41

Beautiful place with 3 easy to trails and cute little ponds with fish swimming all over. There's plenty of individual picnic areas and open space for outdoor games. Everything is easy to find. The public restrooms are clean and the hand sanitizer is kept full. All and all a very nice day to spend alone, with family.or friends.

Adam Gillmann

This is a good camp ground and lots of things to do. Clean restrooms and showers.The only issue I ever have with this part 8s the road noise. It's off a busy hwy and there is also a drag strip not far away as well. That's not the parks fault but it's there.

Aurora Bailey

Beautiful park, will return just not sure about camping. When we visited we called first and asked what we could do or couldn't do, when we got to the camping area to use the facilities, didn't get her name, but the host to the right of the entrance was very rude and in fact stated "she didn't care who we talked to" when in fact we had spoke with the person that manages the area prior to visiting. The host on the left however is very polite and respectful. I would definitely look into a different host if that is how she treats people. It looks like a wonderful place to camp.

Roseanne Ahne

Nice place to camp, swim, hike, etc. a lot of trash around or would have been 5 stars. Picked up a lot of it as we were walking.

tapan chaddarwala

A scenic state park. Hiked the Mooners Hollow Trail. The trail was lush green and you cross the creek at several instances. Make sure you follow the signs for the trail. (Blue blaze trail)

Kloey Fleming

The campground was very clean, grass cut, playground & bathroom/showers are in the middle of the sites. To go swimming is about a 5min drive from where my family and I were camping.

Deborah Saffell

This is one of our favorite parks. Everyone is pleasant and respectful

Jennifer Flynn

Went on a hike on the Swimming Deer trail on a warm February day. We really enjoyed this hike and the view if the river. Highly recommend.

L G

First time coming. Went on a Boy scout overnight camping trip, went fishing, looked at the stars, and saw horses.

Chelsea “Chels” Lively

Beautiful place to visit and my daughter loves to hunt for craw dads in the creek. We have also stayed here a few times in our camper and loved it. They have tons of trails, you can swim, bike ride, fish or even playgrounds for the little ones. When we stay in the camper we are able to have a fire going, picnic table to eat, bathroom/showers close by, swing sets, ball court, trails that led to the river and ride are bike around where they have all the campers. I never have a problem with any of the other campers, they are very respectful with noise and are always extremely nice. During the summer months you are able to purchase ice and wood from the guard shack. However they do have a Dollar General right across the road from the beginning of the park. So that you can buy anything you may have forgotten! They do lock the gate at a certain time every night but they give you a passcode that way if you have to come and go you can do so.

Bee and Me

It's such a beautiful park to go and explore. There are shaded picnic tables.

Jesse Marie Rugh

We just went to kill time and skip rocks at the river. It was pretty despite the lack of greenery this season.

Rae Sannan

Awesome place to go fishing and take your kids they have spots they can either swim are they have a small beach and they can play in the sand my kids do both they have a blast and never wanna leave when it's time to go lol

Robin Powell

Nice place for the day to have a picnic. But they need to be more aggressive on people not putting their dog on a leash.

Michael Corrigan

Great place for camping picnics and hiking beautiful

Kyle Danger

Great hiking trail. Cool waterfall. Nice little creek. Dog loved it!

Ryan H

Great park to hike, swim and explore. This park has a nice trail to hike, it lines the Big River and is great for swimming, and the forest is great for exploring.

Andrew Peake

Absolutely fantastic hiking (did the Mooner's Hollow trail). Well marked, with beautiful scenery. Great intermediate hike!

Doug Crouch

I grew up in Desloge just south of here. Spent alot of summer days playing in Big River. Haven't been here in over 35yrs. Came home for my class reunion and decided to camp here for a few days. So glad I did. I won't wait that long again. LOVE THIS PLACE. The Custodian needs a raise this bathroom and showers are really well maintained.

Justin V

Awesome experience! Friendly staff, nice campground and River is easy accessible from campground with various trails. Our kids were able to touch in most areas and they’re young. Perfect family campground. We will be back soon!

Kristy Hoffman

Have been coming to this park for years, but won't be back. The wood they sell you doesn't even burn. They must have new hosts now because they were rude about things. Telling us it's not their job to bring wood to us. They always have before and we've been camping there for at least 25 years. A shame because the park itself isn't bad. The camping has went downhill.

D R

A quiet, peaceful little campground. Beautiful with lots of shade trees and ample facilities, including hot showers.

Grant Henderson

Beautiful State Park and the Camping was nice. Campground is well kept and the 2 different couples that are hosts, are very nice people. Very welcoming and friendly. Great swimming holes with cool water coming in from a spring fed creek going into the Big River. The only downside is the drag racing strip that's a mile away. That sound carries clear through the valleys . Pretty sure they run on Fridays and Sundays.

Dee Novak

Here in April and there is so much noise. There is a drag race or some kind of track so close all you hear is engines for hours. There is also just one huge loop of hundreds of campers right on top of each other with no trees or separation of any kind. Nice park for hikes but not at all relaxing.

Poly_Pan_Weeb 0118

Beautiful place to hike, swim and BBQ. Could use more trash cans by the pitts though.

Pulga

Camp sites are a little close but are better spaced than most state park sites. I believe all the sites are pull through in campground 2. I have not been to the other campground. Campsites are close to a good swimming area via trail in the woods (campsites 4, 6, 8, 11, 14) Staff is friendly, the beach is decent, and there is a lot of space to hold family events. Fairly quiet and family atmosphere. If you are looking to party I know campground 2 isn't for you. Lots of wildlife. We stayed during the week so there were not many campers. The deer and bunnies come out and don't mind the humans so much.

RT .H

This park is where my children camped, grew up playing ball, played in the river, hiked and learned how to drive.This park will ALWAYS have a special place in my HEART

C.J. Smith

Beautiful park with great access and swimming on the big river.

Gina Cunningham

Ice on hand at Host site. Showers were not attached to bathrooms. Everything got wet, so be careful to try and put all dry stuff up high on the small shelf they have. No path to the river and I'm allergic to poison oak and ivy and summack so it would be nice to have a few paths cleared to get to the river. Very convenient sites. However they are not clearly marked so use your intuition.

Matthew Russo

Good time here. Just make sure you pay close attention to the water, cause it can raise and get you in a bad way if you don't.

Kathlyn Edwards

I was here for the eclipse and the park was really a wonderful place to camp for a weekend. The facilities were clean, the sites were well managed. The river has plenty of places to cool off and to have fun with the kids. The trails were a good hike for younger kids, and lovely. I will be back.

Bill Dunaway

Nice park. The trails were not necessarily well marked, but they were beautiful and challenging in their own right. The special use area was great for camping but could stand some improvements on the structure and picnic tables. The camping spots were awesome. The special use vault toilet could use a light and perhaps hand sanitizer since there is no running water.

Dennis Gould

I've been here a couple of other times, however this camping experience was not that good. Previously: Quiet, relaxed and fun. Camp hosts delivered wood to you when purchased. This time: LOUD due to drag races, unruly children, motorcycles driving thru, and when I had to get firewood from the entrance hut....wood bundles were full of ants....now they are in my car. And the wood DID NOT burn either. $5.00 for a bundle of ant infested sticks. Very disappointing!

Georges Paddock

Nice clean park with adequate river access.

leeann waldvogel

Good kids water play, State Park with clean campgrounds, rv and separate tent camping. Big River clean here, scenic, and trails. Beach approach a bit steep, stairs washed out but manageable. Sand/gravel underfoot on beach and water. Bbq grills and picnic tables.

Liz Crum

Only two issues are it would be nice if they had some trash cans and would clean the path out when you go to the first part down near the newer bridge. Trail is lined in poison ivy and the end of the trail toward the bank is logs, brush and plenty of places for snakes to hide.

Lucinda H

Beautiful, shady campground. RV sites are spacious. We stayed here for a couple of weeks. Several good trails in the park for running or hiking, including a nice one behind the campground. We used this park as a base camp for exploring other trails in the area. Lots of interesting places in this part of MO. The campground will close if water levels get too high during a flooding event. Great place for groups and family outings.

Daniel Morski Jr

Fantastic park. Clean, well kept. Went a couple days after a heavy rain, so some of the trails were a little muddy, but that's what hiking is all about. Will be making another trip for sure.

Aaron Barbee (A-A-Ron)

Just spent the weekend there. I was very happy with our experience. Campsite was nice and not clustered too close to neighbors. River access was convenient. Trails were a nice change of pace. And, after all those activities, the shower in the bathhouse was amazing. Make sure you bring a heavy duty extension cord if you get an electrical site. The power boxes are likely placed for RVs and we had a tent. Fortunately, we also had a long extension cord. Park access closes at 10pm every night, so get back in time. Park staff were all friendly. :)

Kip Slayback

Great hiking trails, after all the rain the falls looked amazing!

Amy Conway

I went to St. Francois State Park with family for a weekend of camping and floating and had a great time. The staff were very friendly and helpful. You can buy small bundles of wood ($4) and ice ($2/bag) at the campground. My only complaint is that the bathroom closest to our campsite was horrible, mostly because of the flies swarming around the toilet. The main bathhouse was fine, but it was a far walk when ya gotta go. We had a great time on the float trip. We floated from the park to Cherokee Landing. Word of advice: Do not try to bring your own tubes or raft and exit the river from the Cherokee Landing ramp; you will be charged to use the ramp. We brought our own tubes, but paid at Cherokee Landing before departing from the park ($5/person). The river was a little crowded, but it was July 4th weekend. Except for some areas that were so shallow we had to walk a bit to keep from dragging the river bottom, it was a great float. Because it is a shallow river and doesn't have a strong current I felt comfortable letting our teens go ahead of us to do their own thing. The campground was peaceful and we really enjoyed our time there. We had spot #86 and #88, which were close to a water spigot. Both sites are slightly sloped, #86 has more shade but the picnic table is in the sun in the afternoon. We had a great time and will definitely be back!

Jeff Lee

Its a good trail we hiked it this summer. It gets 3 stars cause the last leg is loaded with seed ticks. Dress accordingly.

Sherrie Wilson

Not Good for swimming right now due to flooding but with out flooding our favorite place to swim. Favorite to camp. Very clean restrooms and showers facilities. Great park Rangers who care and patrol for your safety. Great playgrounds for my Grandchildren

Stephanie Eigsti

Beautiful State Park ! The campgrounds are beautiful with lots of grassy areas and shade trees. Lots of nice picnic areas , trails , and a few playgrounds for the children. Has a shower house and laundry room. Coonville creek was the perfect place for wading , cool , clear and shallow . We enjoyed biking too .

Amy Kubanek

Nice camp ground but need to watch which site you get if you have a camper. Lot 34 has a small area, not big enough for putting out washer boards and had to use a lot of blocks for the front. They also need to trim some trees because there are big branches hanging over some sites. Great place for kids and dogs. The tent camping areawas almost empty because tents were camping where the campers were for the electricity. I think they should run electricity in the tent area and could fill both. Over all we like the park and will be back.

Mark Cooper

A nice hike with a pleasant surprise about half-ish way through. A nice lil waterfall to cool off in!

Darcie Johnson

Nice area with hiking trails, camping and swimming.

Dianna Brown

I've been going here since i was little. Now as an adult this is where my husband and I go. Its always clean and the host are very friendly. We just got back today from a 2 day trip. There are hiking trails. there are different trails that lead to the river from the campsites or you can drive. We love it and its only about an hour drive for us.

Paul Furrer

This is a beautiful scenic park with excellent river access, unfortunately the river level was too high for us to get in the water. The current was also too strong for my dog to get in that day. We plan to return when the river level is lower. We still thoroughly enjoyed our visit to St. Francois State Park.

Brock Boyher

I lost my keys. The park would have been better if my girlfriend was there. But I had a great time the view was beautiful, I was the only one there, and the fishing holes were great. I mean great. Anyways, the park overall is just a wonderful place to visit I would recommend it to anyone. Just hold on to your keys.

Alan Harp

One of our favorite state parks. Several very nice picnic areas with playgrounds and pavilions. Camping for both RV and tent and clean restroom and shower facilities. Good fishing and several hiking trails make this a wonderful place to visit or vacation for adventurers or families. Plan early to get a camping spot.

Brad (Pecosbrad)

While I am not a camper or outdoorsman I did enjoy our time at the park today. We enjoyed sitting in the water and in general it seemed like a very well kept park. It was great for my little kids and wife and I. We would highly recommend it to others

Jen S

A nice hike through the woods!!

Melinda Perry

Beautiful park. Be cautious of very steep and curvy downhill grade. There are 3 park areas and a camping area. The 1 park area on your left coming in has a pavilion, playground, simple , yet gorgeous trail and a fresh spring. The 2nd park area is on the right coming in and is the largest. It has a large field and playground as well as picnic areas and the river on its perimeter. The 3rd park is at the end on the park area and has a field and large pavilion as well as the picnic tables and the river on the outer edge of this park. The campground area has both electric and "caveman"sites as well as RV park. This area has the best and longest trail as well as the big river on its perimeter as well. Early morning visitors such as deer and fox are the norm. The park also boast great equestrian trails, caves, and regular programs from the park rangers for youth and adults. You will not be disappointed. The town closest, BonneTerre, has a few stores and Emergency Room.

Brian Stephenson

This is another great state park. If you are a nonprofit youth, use the special use area. This area is better than most special use areas, with running water and clean vaulted toilet. The path is a ways back in the park to get to it. Also the shower houses are at the main camping park. Overall this is a great park for special use area and has many trails.

Donovan

The most peaceful place to visit , I really recommend this park, so clean, nice warm river water, I was there for 5 hours and I felt like it was minutes, I've been passing for to much stress, and this place totally released me of it.... Very recommend it

Charles Kibbons

If you love the outdoors, camping, seeing wildlife at times, this is really a perfect place to visit. The campsites are clean and easily accessible. I've never met anyone rude or unfriendly when I was there. I think you will really enjoy the accommodations.

Alisha Berrey

Great place for hiking even with kids. On the Mooners Trail, there's lots of shade so even though it was 90 degrees it was pretty cool under the trees. The creek and playground are fun to play in too.

Amanda S

St Fran is a beautiful little park. Very green. :-) campground is nice, river is nice. Some of my favorite trails in the system. Deer in the camp area make it even more peaceful. That said- maintenance is needed on the roads and facilities. Its a busier park for the area and I'm surprised to see potholes in the main roads...

Ignacio Giganti

Love this place, great climbs for beginner and intermediate climbers. All bolts are solid and well maintained highly recommend if you’re looking for a good view and/or great climbing spot near the area

Laura Ann Proud

It was beautiful, there were spots there for the little children that couldn't really swim but they could catch tadpoles if they wanted to. And also play in the sandwhile the little kids were playing you could see the big kids and the deeper water and they could float down the stream and be able to see the whole thingto where they could stand up and walk back so you can keep an eye on all your children at the same time little or big. That was a big reliever for.it is my stress of kids being in the water in a river and I got to relax which is a big deal when you're in the water because kids drowned very.

Ben Tucker

Very proud of our state parks. They do a great job keeping the forest burned out and it's so green and easy to walk through.

Lakota Meyer

If you like hiking its a great place to do so. I had no idea just how many trails there were...and how long some of them were: take plenty of water and look at the signs closely. Great park.

J Uding

This is a great place to go see. There are a number of different trails to walk through and enjoy the sights! Then there is the river which is great to dive in after some of those long trails. There are camp grounds there so everyone can enjoy a nice bonfire after the long day:)

Helen Brawley

Excellent tent camping, clean facilities, friendly staff.

John Risley

Its a cute and cozy place to relax. I wouldn't bring the little ones, there's quite a bit of sharp objects in the water for some reason. Hopefully they'll clean it up sometime.

Elizabeth Gatlin

We stayed on the primative camping loop. Lost of flat spots for tents. Each sight had a fire ring, table and parking area. Lots of trees for shade and a very nice shower house. Spots were close together but that is typical of most state parks. The area is beautiful and there are fun things to do within an hour drive.

Dave Wellman

Had a great day with my wife Stacey dear and dog Okie girl, park was clean and quiet,not many people there. Couldn't have asked for a prettier place to have gone to.

Adam Love

It was absolutely beautiful we had only stopped to take a break from our drive home and walk the dogs but now planning on going back to visit and walk the trails

direct doggo00

One of our favorite places to camp. Clean bathrooms and great camp hosts! Linda was exceptionally accommodating to us last weekend.

Stephanie Jenkins

My kids loved it! We are going this weekend! Love the camp sites@

Matilda Henson

Some of the workers that collect money for camping are very rude. Have been told that I wasn't allowed to use the restrooms, get water from the water faucet, take a shower or use the coin operated washer/dryer unless I paid for a camp site. I was going to camp there till they got rude with me & said I had to wait till I sat up camp & they came around to collect the money before any of us could use any of the facilities. It was a hot day & I had young kids with me that were hot, so we left, went swimming elsewhere & wound up buying a lot at Lake Timberline. Much better choice. Now we can camp 364 days for about $165 instead of spending $15-$22 a night. Definitely saves money.

Janice Jenkins

Great experience there every halloween

m slaton

beautiful day. Wish my girl was with me

Bruce Hammond

Beautiful camping area. I enjoyed my stay. October 2017

Joshua Owens

This was a very nice trail with a few nice sites to see along the way. I walked it with my 3 year old son and we were able to compete it in two hours (with me carrying him most of the way).

Joe O'Mara

Beautiful park that offers hiking, biking, fishing, and camping! Easy access to the Big River where you can play in the water (at your own risk) to beat the summer heat! This park even features a baseball field for all kinds of fun!

Kaysha Cabral

Beautiful place!! Must visit list for sure!!

Amanda Rodewald

The Mooner's Hollow Trail is one of the prettiest hikes in any state park within a reasonable drive from St. Louis. If you go slightly off the beaten path, about 1.3 miles down the trail, just before you ford the creek the second time, there is a series of absolutely gorgeous waterfalls where the stream flows across solid bedrock. The path is not blazed, but is clearly trod often. It's well worth the extra quarter-mile it will add to your day.

Charlton Blalock

Very nice. Peaceful & tranquil. Had a blast!! The fall colors just started on the trees!👍..... I minor setback though. As my wife & I were walking through the trail, we walked into a 3' black snake/rat snake. We calmly turned around and walked back to our van. 🤣🤣. I'm afraid of SNAKES!! But a great park!!! I will come back!! …

Doug S

Awesome! Seemed a lot longer than 2.75 miles.

Tia Simmons

It was actually a good swim day. I like whenever the water is lower

Philip Stephens

One of the many beautiful parks less than 2 hrs from St. Louis. Worth the drive in any season. Good hikes & swimming. Been coming for 30+ years.

Anthony Cates

Love this park, even if my wife did break her ankle on the trail there.

Jay Lambert

Great camp grounds horrible access to the big river

Alvin Cortner

Beautiful place to see the seasons change

Leslie Hathaway

Nice clean park

Rick Myers

Nice park. Nice amenities. We use it every year for a training class. Just wish it wasn't as steep a hill in and out. Could make it rough if you had trailer brake issues!

Lissa Flannery

Huge park 2600+acres. Beautiful scenary. People, please keep it tidy by cleaning up after yourself. Also..this is a priceless lesson to teach your kids. After all, Missouri has the longest river system in our entire country! Thanks guys!

Brennan Barrale

It was rlly fun except for the sun burns. Man they do sting. The showers were nice and warm. And the ground was soft. Terrific

Becky Pratt

Enjoyed a beautiful day with my family.. wish the water was a bit higher but we still had alot of fun i love to see my babies smile🥰 …

Gelu Popa

The park is gorgeous, but extreme noise from racecars or whatever, not to far from the camping ground made the experience less pleasant.

Noah Walker

Very nice place to relax, have a picnic or luncheon, and play games on the large field. Also good looking place to drop a line in the water and go fishing!

James Woods

Great place to walk and hike

Kachiri Boschert

Not the best floating trip, but overall it was okay. It has changed a lot since I was kid

Mike Chapman

We love camping here. Always a great experience!

Tiffany Stolts

Amazing and beautiful but not too surprising to get info about the fishing and hungry people in your area and across seas, I have no idea what is going on with you. But I'm still trying to get help with water in some areas, so much as if I'm praying for rain

Billy Curran

Beautiful quiet place to camp. River access in the park and they have a couple different playgrounds. Found some of the coolest rocks ever at the river.

Thomas T

Park is great. Awesome camping, trails and river. Tonight as I left park host ran screaming telling me to slow down. I was doin 10mph up hill leaving camping area. My vehicle is a loud truck, so can understand him thinking I was "hot rodding" as he said, but to run out in front of me screaming and yelling, and then tell me that Todd( the park ranger who literally road my tail the whole way out) would get me is alittle excessive. Sad that one person can ruin a experience.

Bibliobiker S.

A wonderous trail with river and wildlife .

Jack Hutchings

Excellent park! Lots of picnic areas and solid trails. Both the Big River and Coonville Creek have abundant shallow areas for cooling off.

David Stein

Love the place , space and people. Good area for family outings. Exciting trails . Nice staff . Been coming for years. UNFORTUNATELY , I had to give only 3 stars because some a-hole has opened a drag racing track next door to the park and some equally idiotic gvt official has given them licence to go late into the night. It completely ruines the onece serene nature of the place on weekends.

Jesse Rupp

We had a problem with the upper set of campers that was campsite hosts. Lower set camp site hosts was so sweet.

Joseph Steinc

A nice family-oriented Park kept very clean nice trails to hike on nice cold river runs right through the park

Dennis Eaton

Forty years of riding dirt bikes here, I finally wore the place out. Trails are rough and rocky. I've enjoyed riding here in the past, but it's just too rough on bikes and bodies now.

Marin Woronets

The mooners hallow trail was a nice hike. Found a relaxing spot to hang out in the hammock by the stream. The camping is good ... but would be much nicer if you could pick your neighbors.

Eric Owens

As a hiker, the horse trails are not welcoming. Without switchbacks, erosion have assisted them in making the trails less than ideal for twisting ankles. Even though the park is close to St Louis, the scenery is rather boring and not really worth going back.

Cheri Morrell

Absolutely beautiful well worth the 30 min trip it took me to get there. Walking trails, river and streams. Saw park police so well patroled groomed and clean.

Gina Mathews (Gina)

Wonderful place to relax and take the edge off my husband and I had a very nice time there and can't wait to go back

Gabe Stone

Park is clean and well maintained rangers are awesome and helpful great weekend get away family friendly environment pet friendly and showers were clean and had warm water each site was clean and had a fire pit and park table bench fire wood was there for sale so was ice each were very fair priced also river was clean and fun to swim in

Keith Prather

My new home away from home!! As long as we stay thawed out for awhile...20 min. south from my new hometown in Festus, MO. and feels like I'm in the vast backcountry!! Missouri is one helluva beautiful STATE!! Discovered campgrounds and a River runs through it!! State Parks anywhere in Missouri are Great for camping. Hiking...fishing...biking....trailing..bailing....and wailing...outside weather from March to Nov./Dec. ....just have to hibernate for 3 months a year...but they have off season YEAR AROUND CAMPING AS WELL!!!! SOME AMENITIES MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE BUT YOU ARE ABOUT 5 TO 15 MIN. TO A SUBWAY OUT HERE!! ITS CRAZY HOW ISOLATED IT FEELS WHEN U ARE ON CAMPGROUNDS..SAH-WEET!!!

Hiking is gorgeous with a creek that runs along trail.

Very nice park, trails were a good length and just hard enough to be a hike instead of a walk in the park!

Beth P

Great place to go on a hike or swimming camping. Great times with the family..

Martin Jipp

Really quiet State Park. Nice area to enjoy the big river and shallow enough for my 3 year old grandson.

Great place to walk and feel the natural world void of TV with news on having nothing to say but it's political nonsense.

Marsha Mueller

Bathrooms are dingy, unswept, dirty sinks. Cement Shower rooms dingy and not heated. Not well kept bathroms. Landscape is beautiful, people friendly but for $20.....
