What campers say
Bird's Nest Lodge sits on the Meramec and is frequently praised for its scenic, relatively uncrowded float trips and convenient shuttle service. Guests highlight friendly, responsive staff, clean cabins with river views, hot tubs, and organized pickup during weather issues. However, reviews also note tradeoffs: campsites are generally grassy and not riverside, some buildings feel dated or in need of maintenance, and a few guests experienced reservation or amenity mismatches. If you value an easy river float and staffed support, this is a solid choice — but confirm booking details and on-site amenities before arriving.
