AMBC is a private club for members and their guest. Lucky for me, I get to be a guest. Some of the…read morelocals refer to AMBC as the, "redneck yacht club". I'd say they are just good, down to earth people who know how to have a good time on the river. The clubhouse of AMBC can best be described as a, dive bar. Their decor is simple. It's so simple, you'd think a minimalist was the decorator. However, there are plenty of tables & chairs inside to accommodate members and guests. If you're the outdoors type, you can relax at a picnic table on the covered patio. One of the perks of being a private club is the pricing of drinks and food. Those of us who were guest, wished our favorite watering holes offered the same deals. I was impressed that their rail liquor was what most bars have as a name brand. There's no servers, so if you want food, you order with the bartender. When the food is ready, your name will be called out over the PA and you go to the kitchen window to retrieve it yourself. A little self serve, adds to the fun. When another guest in our group picked-up his food order, he was amazed at the quantity of food. He kept repeating, "this is $15 of food". Someone finally asked him, is that good or bad? He laughed and said, good and explained he ordered more because he thought the portion would be small based on the price. The food is your basic bar food, but I'd say it's done better. My Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings were crispy and flavorful. I also had a basket of Fries. The fries were not house made, but that's okay with me. They were crinkle-cut, which is perfect for the dive bar atmosphere. Or as my friend calls them, "bowling alley fries". Everyone else seemed to enjoy their food and didn't mind me taking pictures. If you've got a boat up near Alton or Grafton, you may want to check this club out. It just may make your rollin on the river more fun. I'm just thankful that I'm friends with a member. I'll be back? - Yes, it's always a great time. When - July 1, 2018 Why - Refreshments after a day on the river

The only negative is the hours, but I can work around it and make it work (its not that big of a negative). There are few few Gyms that have a sauna, indoor pool and a hot tub that I can think of in the St. Louis area, and none in Illinois apart from SIUE.

But when we venture out to camp with our 3 kids and 2 dogs we are pretty picky about where we stay. We want somewhere secluded and private- where our family can run and explore without worrying about other campers. The "Watkins Place Cabin" is perfect for us. This cabin sits at the end of a long private gravel driveway and is entirely surrounded by beautiful midwestern forest. There are 2 bedrooms (3 beds), a small livingroom with a TV and DVD player, a bathroom, and a kitchen. The cabin has running water and electricity. Outside there is a fire pit and an acre+ open grassy yard; perfect for relaxing and letting the kids and dogs play. There is a hiking trail that takes you up the hill and into the woods. I believe it actually takes you all the way to the marsh at McCully if you keep trekking. McCully also has one of the most beautiful, scenic ponds I've ever been to. Our family loves taking an evening to go and fish there. We are often the only people at the pond- or are only sharing it with 2 or 3 other respectful and quiet campers. I love that the grass around the pond is well-maintained so we can set down a picnic blanket and make ourselves easily comfortable within just a foot or two from the water. The tent sites are also very well-maintained and surrounded by beautiful serene scenery. There is a very nice playground within walking distance for the littles. The bathroom/ shower area is clean and conveniently located. The hosts are absolutely lovely people and are always willing to answer any questions. We love this little getaway specifically for Watkin's Cabin and the gorgeous fishing pond. But even if you're looking for a peaceful place to park your tent for a night, Mccully's will not disappoint.
