Quick Overview
Shiloh is a growing village in St. Clair County in the Metro East region of southwestern Illinois, adjacent to Scott Air Force Base and about 20 miles southeast of downtown St. Louis across the Mississippi River. With several motorhome campgrounds and parks in the area, including some free options, Shiloh provides a suburban camping base with excellent access to both the St. Louis metro's world-class attractions and the rural beauty of southern Illinois just to the east. The village has experienced steady residential growth in recent years thanks to its proximity to the air force base and the growing commercial development along the I-64 corridor, and the surrounding area now has modern shopping centers, diverse restaurants, and all the services an Motorhome Traveler could need right off the interstate. The location along I-64 puts you within easy reach of downtown St. Louis to the west with the Gateway Arch and Forest Park, and the outdoor recreation areas of southern Illinois to the east with lakes and state parks. For military families and veterans, the proximity to Scott AFB is a major draw, and some campgrounds in the area cater specifically to military-connected travelers with special rates and amenities. The Metro East suburbs offer a quieter, more affordable alternative to camping on the Missouri side of the river while still keeping you just as close to the Gateway Arch, Forest Park, and Busch Stadium. Campgrounds near Shiloh tend to be well-maintained private operations that cater to both short-term overnighters and extended-stay RVers.
