Got your message--I like 1) MM2 or 2) Onandega as well. I like that Meramec has a "rustic dining room" and other stuff to do besides just caves. But i will be happy with any of them as long as Airstreams are there!

So far from the thread and PMs I received, Meramec Site 2 is the preferred choice. I will set the rally up today at lunch with the sign-up page. I just hope everyone jumps on this as soon as possible to avoid being shut out in three months.

Just got off the phone with the reservation service and we've got reservations. You are right. We're in Site #2 Location #3. They are filling up fast! The online reservation service is having problems so it may be faster to phone in reservations. 1-877-422-6766
Are the site 2 sewer sites open at this point Steve? My guess it that you would like the folks to congregate in some specific areas within the site? Be aware it's been a few years since I've been there but most of those sites are full sun without shade. There were tree plantings but most of the stuff is small. The river has been known to flood those sites, especially the sewer sites. Also be aware that the park access road has some extremely large grades so be sure to gear down especially on the downhill side. Roads are well paved and 2 lane.

What sites are location 3? The map shows sections but the site 2 map doesn't show location #'s other than the site numbers.

When I go in through Steve's link Meramec Site 2 I can see location numbers for Site/Section 2 and can click on the numbers to see descriptions of the location/campsite and a photo for some of them.
I went online at http://www.mostateparks.com and then called them when I was getting error messages as I submitted my reservation -- evidently one of my attempts did go through because they had my online reservation in their system.

Looks like the trees have grown up quite a bit so there should be shade. This is a large area so it would be good to figure if we are trying to congregate in a particular area of site 2.

I am about to call in my reservation. THe online has been fudging up stuff for me over an hour now. I might look into renting a large tent for us to gather under since I have never been there before, and don't know if there are pavillions. Then again, that would be a HUGE tent. I will contact the park later today after reservations are made to discuss a congregation area.

No pavillion areas in the camping section. They do have pavillions in the day picnic areas when you first enter the park. Unfortunately to use those you need to drive to them. They are not within walking distance.
Can you give us any update upon what sites you would like us to book in section 2?

I just booked for Site 13 Aug 21-24 leaving on Monday. There are limited Full Hookups left (2,5,6,8,11,12,14,15,16,17,18,19). Site 15 is handicap accessible for anyone that may need it. If the full hookups sell out, please gather on the backside of the full-hookup sites which are electric only with water points (sites 46-59). We will have enough hoses to fill your water tanks with no problems.
The reservation number is 1-877-422-6766. Dates are Fri the 22-Sun the 24. We are going Thursday and staying till Monday. More info once I get the rally signup open, but I wanted to get reservations done ASAP. I urge everyone to get their spots now since it is first come first serve. You are able to reserve multiple spots when you call, but you have to pay for them at reservation time.
