Meramec Caverns Natural Campground

House Springs, Missouri

About

Beneath the fertile rolling hills of the Meramec Valley, lies a complex of mineral formations and color as rare and unique as they are beautiful. These jewels of nature which took thousands of years to grow, are preserved in the spectacular sights of Meramec Caverns. Guided tours by trained rangers are conducted along well-lighted walkways. Learn how an ancient limestone 'Wine Table' and an entire 7-story mansion were formed... all underground. On tour you will see both the rarest and largest cave formations in the world. A COOL 60 DEGREES YEAR ROUND! Unforgettable Adventures await at Meramec Caverns, where you can zipline through the tree tops, pan for gold, or climb a cliffside wall. Scenic River Excursions offer relaxing boat rides or exciting float trips down the Meramec River. The LaJolla Natural Park/Campground provides scenic beauty and conveniences for visitors, with trailer hookups, barbeque pits, sheltered pavilions, and a playground area. The Meramec Caverns Motel offers quiet and comfortable lodging, with double beds, shower, bathroom, and television. Whether reliving childhood memories or sharing new ones with family, Meramec Caverns is a fun and affordable get-away.
