The most perfect
site in years. Along the banks of the Mississippi and on the bluff's
overlooking where the two rivers meet. This site is beautiful with slight
rolling hills and roads of bark and light gravel. The camps are in groomed
and maintained wooded locations that are PRISTINE in all views as well as
the entire route (approx. 4 miles) of the battle including two (2) very
large (hundreds of acres) final (Sunday) battlefields that are open but
lined by woods and valley's.
The entire site
is almost weather proof (except tornado's and hurricanes) with simple and
easy access to both camps and all fields, including two "drill fields" for
unit and or brigade drill on Friday and Saturday.
Civilian are
welcome and encouraged to attend but MUST be prepared to move with the
soldiers. (Camps may be left behind) Each Army will be responsible for their
civilians to move and protect as well as any wagons and supplies.
YOU MUST PRE REGISTER----------- NO WALK ON'S
Usual
amenities, Hay, wood, straw, water, and there is a building on the back side
(out of view) where showers will be available on Fri. Night and Sat. before
3:00 PM. Parking is excellent even in the event of rain. Prefer campaign
camping but tents are fine, NO MODERN CAMPERS.
Located about 2
miles off Interstate 270 in North St. Louis County (between Alton and
Grantie City on the Missouri Side of the River.
