Between St. Louis and Edwardsville, several RV parks operate year-round while others follow seasonal schedules, such as Kamper Kompanion RV Park which runs from mid-March through October. Draft Kings at Casino Queen RV Park offers full hookup rv sites with excellent access to downtown St. Louis, though visitors should expect regular train noise. Cell service varies by location, with AT&T showing strong coverage at Cahokia RV Parque (49.7 Mbps download speeds reported). Sites with big rig spots often fill quickly during summer months and holiday weekends. According to one visitor, "Casino Queen RV Park utilities are set up weird on all sites - water and electric are at the very rear of the site by the sewer, so you will need a decent sized hose to reach if your water intake is in the front of your camper."
"Very clean and secure overnight park just outside of STL. Phenomenal views of downtown and the arch, and fairly easy access to I-55/64/70."
"Full hookup sites on a mostly paved RV park. Big rigs fit easily. Some small areas of grass and trees with a dog walking area around the perimeter. Small play area for kids."
from $65 / night
"The grounds, pool, laundry, and bathrooms were all in excellent repair and clean. The park was quiet, but very family friendly."
"Pet-friendly, full hookups, space for our larger rig and parking around for extra vehicle. Laundry and propane on site. Spaces were a little close together, but minutes from downtown St."
"Nice level concrete pads but definitely a bit crowded. Lots of big rigs. Very nice folks who checked us in. We seem well connected. Nice old downtown of St. Charles. Worth a walk. Art and stuff."
"Full hookups, concrete pads. No firepits. Close to a bunch of stuff. Fast wifi."
from $56 - $61 / night

"We checked in and proceeded to back-in Site 426 with full hookups. As the last site in the campground, the curve in the road made for an exceptionally easy back-in."

from $35 - $60 / night

from $40 / night
TravelerCamp Host is very friendly and brought firewood to our site. Bath/shower house was clean. We were in the equestrian campground due to our 73 foot overall length. It was a great stay for visiting family. There are a lot of outdoor activities at the lake area, but no pool.
ScoutMy favorite spot in all of St. Louis! The lady who is the owner and the front desk attendant are wonderful and I have never had a problem here with anything! Free WiFi, laundry, and a public shower and bathroom if needed! There’s also cool walking/biking trails and a park with a children’s playground as well! The gas station is also walking distance for any small necessities
ScoutMy favorite RV spot in St. Charles. It’s pretty quiet minus the cool boats and train but other than that it’s peaceful…also love the price!
TravelerThe campsite is nice plenty of spaces spaced out nicely, but there’s absolutely no signage. took us forever to decide where we could park and what to do. tiny little sign on the Rangers house. Led us to a website and then charged us $50. Not what we were expecting. Plan ahead on this one.
GuideThis was a beautiful place to spend an evening on our cross country trip. We were able to secure site B7 -a nice level and shady spot on a beautiful tree lined lake. The site was dusty but there was a picnic table and electricity. It was 90 degrees in early October so I can imagine the open spots are really hot during the heat of the summer. Signs tell you to check in with camp host before parking but there was no one at their camper. I called the phone number and a helpful gentleman explained that the sites were first come, first served and someone would be around to collect our $20 fee. One large bathhouse for the campground was a good walk away but was spotless. I would have given this campground a 5 rating but after walking around, we realized that most of the sites by the lake were hard packed dirt, small and not level. However there is a new section I that has 10 long back in gravel pads with electric & water. They are away from the water but close to the shower house. Finally, google coordinates directed us to a private residence just short of the marina. Follow directions to the marina and find the road to the campground at the end of the parking lot.
ScoutNice and easy. Good spacing between sites
TravelerTrails in the area re nice but facilities for this many sites are limited. Sites are close to each other.
TravelerJody, the hostess, is friendly and responsive. We stayed one night in the fall so the many permanent RVs were not occupied. The park is large and surrounded by woods and fields. We had a peaceful night near the cornfields where the short-term RV sites are located. Can hear the train horn in the distance. Note that they are tandem, so pull thru for the first person but back in for the second. We would stay here again.
TravelerCame to Riverside landing on a Tuesday-Thursday for car camping and there was only a few other RVs and one other tent camper. Reserved a spot right on the river, very scenic and quiet. Right by some train tracks so trains do run by, but that was the only loud noise! No restrooms here so bring your own amenities if you aren’t in an RV
RV camping near Edwardsville, Illinois offers several options within 30 miles of the city center, with most sites situated on level terrain at elevations between 400-600 feet. The area experiences humid continental climate with hot summers where temperatures regularly exceed 90°F from June through August. Spring camping brings significant rainfall averaging 4-5 inches monthly during April and May.
Bike the Katy Trail: Located just 35 miles west of Edwardsville, Beyond the Trail RV Park provides direct access to the scenic Katy Trail. "The Katy trail borders the park for easy access to town. Beautiful views across a large farm field (soy beans when we were here) to the hills beyond with incredible sunsets," reports one camper.
Paddle the lake: At St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park, water activities are readily available. "The park/campground rents paddleboats, kayaks, and canoes in addition to different kinds of bikes. There is a walking trail around the lake (4+ miles). There is fish in the lake and you are allowed to fish," notes a visitor.
Explore historic St. Charles: From several area campgrounds, the historic riverfront district is accessible via bike trails or short drives. "Easy ride in to St. Charles a wonderful historic river town on the Missouri River. Great shops, great restaurants," shares a camper from Beyond the Trail RV Park.
Visit Gateway Arch National Park: Many campgrounds offer convenient access to downtown St. Louis attractions. "Stayed two nights passing through to visit Gateway Arch National Park. Casino has a metro stop that takes you into St Louis over the river," explains a visitor to Draft Kings at Casino Queen RV Park.
Spacious sites: Despite urban locations, some parks offer surprisingly generous spaces. "For this to be such a small RV park (smallest we've stayed at so far) the sites are very spacious!" notes a visitor at Covered Bridge RV Park.
Food options: Many parks feature dining options right on the premises or within walking distance. "My favorite part of this park is the onsite Sawmill BBQ restaurant. While we prepare most of our meals, we were so tired; we decided to give the joint a try and, wow, are we glad we did! Delicious food for a reasonable price!" shares a camper at Cahokia RV Parque.
Good connectivity: Working campers appreciate the stable internet connections available at some parks. "The wi-fi was surprisingly good enough that my wife and I could both work off of it and even stream shows on the Roku the whole week," reports a visitor to Covered Bridge RV Park.
Security features: Many campgrounds in the area prioritize safety with controlled access systems. "Security is proactive in patrols and are friendly and helpful. No frills but a great view of the arch. Centrally located and across the bridge from downtown," comments a visitor about Draft Kings at Casino Queen RV Park.
Train noise: Several campgrounds experience regular railroad activity. "There are trains every 15-30 minutes all day long," notes one camper at Draft Kings at Casino Queen RV Park.
Seasonal operations: While some parks operate year-round, others have limited seasons. "Lots of big rigs. Very quiet and super clean. Came through in February, so only a few permanent people," reports a visitor at Kamper Kompanion RV Park, which operates mid-March through October.
Limited shopping options: At some locations, services are sparse. "I was planning on grabbing a gallon of milk when we got there...there really is nothing around the rv park! Maybe a couple gas stations at best, but if you need groceries or anything, stop and get them before you get close," advises a camper at Cahokia RV Parque.
Flooding concerns: Some sites experience water issues during heavy rainfall. "While we were there they had a record rainfall amount and the park apparently already has flooding issues so it was flooding pretty bad," explains a visitor to Covered Bridge RV Park.
Playground access: Several parks offer play areas for children. "There is a nice bathhouse with free showers for the campers and pay laundry. If you are lucky, you can get a site close to the water, but it means the walking trail is right next to your unit," notes a visitor to St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park.
Kid-friendly recreation: Parks with rental options provide family entertainment. "We love going here and watching the sunsets. This is a great place to kayak and camp if you don't want to drive that far and live in the city," shares a camper at St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Some parks offer nature encounters. "You can see all kinds of wildlife in and around the lake - deer, bald eagles, pelicans, ducks, snakes," reports a visitor about St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park.
Plan for limited shade: Newer parks may lack mature trees. "It seems to be new, and there are trees planted, but it will be awhile before they provide any shade," explains a camper about the conditions at St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park.
Extension cord requirements: Utility placement varies by park. "All sites have a view of the small lake. Full hookups with both back in and pull through sites," explains a camper at Beyond the Trail RV Park.
Electrical safety: Some parks have wiring issues to be aware of. "The site services, electric, water and sewer, are located to the front of the site and extensions were needed for both the electric and sewer," cautions a visitor to Beyond the Trail RV Park.
Gate code systems: Several parks use coded entry systems rather than staffed gates. "You need a code to get in the gate, so you must register in advance. It was hot in late July and with no trees on the larger sites, it seemed hotter. But the full hookups worked great with no issues," notes a visitor to Sundermeier RV Park.
After-hours check-in processes: Late arrivals should confirm check-in procedures. "Easy to book online even the day of. Choose your spot ahead of time and pull in, easy as that! Had no problem booking around 7pm the day of and arrived around 1 am quietly set up in my previously reserved spot," shares a camper at Beyond the Trail RV Park.
