2 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV parks operate within driving distance of Kane, Illinois, providing various site configurations and hookup options. Sundermeier RV Park in St. Charles features concrete pads with full hookups, while St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park offers both concrete ($50) and gravel ($45) pull-through sites with water, electric, and sewer connections. The Double J Campground maintains year-round operations with big-rig friendly spaces and 50-amp electrical service. Kampsville River Park provides more economical RV sites at $25 with water, electric, and a dump station. Sites throughout these parks range from closely positioned concrete pads to more spacious pull-through configurations. "Nice level concrete pads but definitely a bit crowded. Lots of big rigs. Very nice folks who checked us in."
Proximity to transportation corridors affects noise levels at several RV parks in the region. Pere Marquette State Park requires campers to bring extra water hoses as hookups are shared between sites and sometimes require multiple hoses to reach. Casino Queen RV Park in East St. Louis operates seasonally from April through September, limiting availability during winter months. Most parks accommodate pets, though specific restrictions may apply. Full-service facilities typically include sanitary dump stations, showers, and trash collection. Many RV sites throughout the region experience seasonal flooding, particularly those near the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers. Cell service remains generally reliable across the region's developed RV parks, though coverage may vary in more rural locations west of Kane.

"Once we had scanned and entered through the gate they escorted us to our pull-through full-hookups site."
"Their friendly staff leads you back to your site on a golf cart and is regularly driving around with firewood. It's a surprisingly big campground, big rig friendly and a lot of cute amenities."
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 is a nice, clean, little campground.Free of charge dispersed.No hookups , car pads , fire pits right on the mississippi river , just beautiful , really , really impressed
ScoutNice and easy. Good spacing between sites
ScoutThis is one of the worst state parks I’ve ever visited. The sites are small no water or electricity. Takes 15 minutes from civilization to get there.
TravelerTrails in the area re nice but facilities for this many sites are limited. Sites are close to each other.
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 Kane, Illinois places visitors at the juncture of forested hills and river valleys between the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers. Campgrounds in this region range from 1,000 to 1,200 feet in elevation, with marked seasonal temperature variations from below freezing in winter to humid 90°F days in summer. Summer camping often requires mosquito protection due to proximity to waterways and seasonal precipitation.
Bike the Katy Trail: Access the trail directly from Beyond the Trail RV Park in nearby Missouri, which borders the 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," notes reviewer Sam C.
Visit St. Charles historic district: Many travelers use camping as a base to explore this riverside town. "Easy ride in to St. Charles a wonderful historic river town on the Missouri River. Great shops, great restaurants," writes Cheryl K. about her stay near the area.
Gateway Arch National Park: Campers staying at Draft Kings at Casino Queen RV Park can access public transportation to downtown St. Louis. "Casino has a metro stop that takes you into St Louis over the river. First time paying a pet fee for a overnight stay," reports Josh F., who visited in November when the park was only 25% full.
Explore regional wineries: The Missouri wine country near Kane offers multiple tasting options. "It is located in a sleepy little winery town. It is just a few minutes from the main part of town with multiple beautiful wineries within a few miles," writes Jamie C. about the camping experience.
Lakeside views: St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park provides water recreation options. "This park is beautiful. Located about 25 minutes from St Louis. They have paddle boats and bikes and group bikes for rental. Located right next to a lake with a lot of RV and tent camping spots," explains Joseph F.
Concrete pads: Many RVers appreciate the solid foundations at several parks. "Very nice park. This is a big busy campground they have plenty of staff to handle the rush. Level concrete sites with FHU will definitely stay here again," reports Robert O. about his camping experience.
On-site dining options: Several campgrounds feature restaurants or breweries. "The office told me that they have 24 hour on site security also. If I really wanted to tent camp, I could rent a section of the group camping area," notes Annie C. about one park's amenities.
Dog-friendly facilities: Multiple campgrounds accommodate pets with dedicated areas. "We really enjoyed Kamper Companion! We stay there every time we pass through Litchfield. Quiet, family friendly, and great for our dogs. We love the dog yard!" shares Larry B. about Kamper Kompanion RV Park.
Site drainage issues: Some campgrounds experience water problems during heavy rain. "My only complaint is they have some drainage issues if it rains a lot. A few of the campsites will flood, not bad enough to get to your camper, but just enough to be annoying," warns Adam F. about one park.
Train noise: Railroad tracks near several campgrounds create periodic noise disturbances. "Only downside is the train and airplane noise. Otherwise would be a 5 star for me," comments Laura M. about her otherwise positive experience.
Electrical configuration: At Cahokia RV Parque, hookup placement may require additional equipment. "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," notes Craig H.
Wi-Fi reliability: Internet service varies substantially between parks. "Fast wifi," reports Aaron A. about one location, while others mention limited connectivity, particularly during busy periods or in more remote sites.
Playground access: Several parks offer dedicated children's areas. "Kids had a blast riding bikes. Even finding a few little frogs jumping around and fireflies at night," shares Joseph F. about his family's experience at one lakeside park.
Rental recreation equipment: The Double J Campground and similar parks offer activities beyond camping. "Fantastic camp hosts, large pull through spots, pool, mini golf, and more. Very convenient to get too and the check in is very fast," reports Russ G.
Seasonal considerations: Families should plan around potential flooding periods, typically spring through early summer. "This park is prone to flooding. It was out of commission for most of the summer of 2019 as the entire area was flooded," explains one camper about regional conditions.
Swimming options: Several parks maintain seasonal pools. "It has a huge pool, putt-putt golf, and washer and dryers. It is a little on the pricey side, but it is close to Springfield," notes Shelly W. about recreation amenities.
Water pressure variations: Some RV parks have unusually strong water systems. "The water pressure was so strong that I could barely open the water pump!" reports Susan L. about her experience at a park near Kane.
Extended stay discounts: Monthly rates can provide significant savings for longer-term campers. "One couple I talked to was camping long term and they got a free membership to the St Peter's RecPlex recreation center with their long term spot," notes Annie C.
Navigation assistance: Several parks offer personal guidance to your site. "Their friendly staff leads you back to your site on a golf cart and is regularly driving around with firewood," reports Jessica T. about her stay at Sunrise RV Park.
Hookup extensions: Pack additional hoses and power cords. "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," advises Josh F. after his camping experience.
