Accessible by vehicle with no special clearance requirements, Riverfront Park Campground provides 20-dollar overnight stays along the Missouri River in Leavenworth. The municipal facility accommodates RVs up to 45 feet with electric and water hookups, plus a dump station for self-contained units. Reservations are available through the city system.
Sites sit directly beside the Missouri River, offering immediate access for fishing and kayaking. The campground operates seasonally, closing October 31st each year. Train tracks run adjacent to the camping area, with locomotives passing multiple times throughout day and night hours. Aaron L. notes that "morning time was very nice with fog on the water and tons of birds chirping."
Each site includes a picnic table and fire pit, with flush toilets and shower facilities housed in a recently updated bathhouse. Sites are closely spaced but provide adequate room for most camping setups. The campground's location offers views of the nearby bridge spanning the Missouri River.
For campers planning extended stays in the region, Weston Bend State Park Campground lies northeast across the river. Access requires crossing railroad tracks, so visitors should expect periodic train noise when selecting this location for light sleepers.
Description
The campground has 13 pads for RVs, trailers, or tents (all with electricity).
Restrooms and shower house are available for paid campers who have paid the key deposit. There are two water hook-ups in the campground. We ask that you bring a hose splitter and hose to hook-up for water at your site. Electrical outlets are 30 amp. We recommend our site for trailers less than 32' long. Campers drag across the railroad tracks if they are longer 32' or longer, and may not make it across.
