Meramec State Park

Thank you. This helps a lot.

There are bathrooms at the park boat ramp. Sometimes they are a little late unlocking them.

Thanks, Dennis. This is just a day trip. Is there a place to change clothes for non-campers.

Are you tent camping or glamping? The campground is fairly level and has decent shade trees. Usual fire ring and picnic table at tent sites.There are cabins that are usually booked up. If you follow the river access signs in the campground it will lead to a small parking area with a short path down to a large gravel bar along the river. Not a great place to swim due to the current but fine to splash around and get wet. No zip-line that I am aware of, there was one at Meramec Caverns a short distance away. A short paddle would be Sappington Bridge to the park(5 Miles). There is an outfitter at the Park boat launch. Green cave is on this stretch.

What can you tell me about Meramec State Park? I want to bring some family: 2 adults, a 13 year-old and an 8 year-old. We will definitely see the cave. Zip-line is possible for 2 or 3. What are the best options for a swim or a short float? I have been there so many times paddling but never looked at it this way before. Thanks.
You all know so much about everything. Joan
