Missouri Valley City Park

With 30 and 50-amp electric hookups plus water connections, Missouri Valley City Park accommodates RVs up to 75 feet on an honor-system basis for $25 per night. The campground sits within the Missouri Valley Fair Grounds, providing spacious sites around a maintained city park with picnic tables and a dump station available.

Active railroad tracks run adjacent to the property, with trains passing four to five times nightly according to recent visitors. Highway noise adds to the ambient sound level. "It is right next to a busy railroad, but we cranked up our fans and barely noticed the trains and their horns," notes one camper who found the location manageable with proper preparation.

The grounds include a water park, playground equipment, and open grass areas that draw families during warmer months. Sites offer room to spread out across the fairground layout, though availability may be limited during fair week. Cash payment is required for the self-pay system. Campers seeking quieter surroundings might consider Wilson Island State Recreation Area Campground, located southwest along the Missouri River.

Guests commonly noted this fairgrounds campground offers excellent family amenities and good value for money. Train and highway noise may disturb light sleepers, but most found the well-maintained facilities worth the trade-off.

Nice and clean, train passes often

Place is well maintained with plenty of hookups, a nice view to the park, picnic tables and a dump station. Price is now 25 dll per night. Besides the traffic noise because it's close to the hwy, the train passed at night like 4 or 5 times, so have that in mind if you light sleep.

Perfect place to stay overnight or even make it a few nights.

We were looking for an overnight place to stay and came across this gem. It is right next to a busy railroad, but we cranked up our fans and barely noticed the trains and their horns. It surrounds a city park and there is plenty of room to spread out in their well manicured park. With 30/50 electric and water this place is well worth the $15 they charge. It's all on an honor system so make sure to bring some cash. That way this place can be here to stay for everyone to enjoy.
