We love camping at the St. Charles campground. It is one of our favorite places, but it is hard to get into anymore due to how many people are camping. You really need to make reservations way far in advance. But it is worth it!

Very nice camp ground. Pump water at site was not clear, but a short drive to the next camping area revealed a spigot with clean chlorinated water.
