Campus RV Park

14 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Campus RV Park provides full hookups and concrete pads for RVs up to 55 feet on the grounds of a large church complex in Independence, Missouri. The park operates as a private facility with reservations available at $35-55 per night, offering both back-in and pull-through sites along with standard amenities including restrooms, showers, laundry, and WiFi access.

The campground sits close to downtown Independence, placing campers within walking distance of local attractions like the Truman Library and historic courthouse. Several reviewers note the proximity to train tracks, with occasional horn sounds during overnight hours. The urban setting means limited privacy between sites, though the concrete pads provide level parking. Kevin H. reports excellent internet connectivity, noting "wifi access point right here. 66m down, 24m up."

Clean facilities consistently earn positive mentions from visitors. The shower house maintains hot water and tidy conditions, while the laundry room provides convenient on-site washing options. A community fire ring serves the entire campground, though individual sites lack fire pits. The church campus setting creates a different atmosphere than typical commercial RV parks, with occasional events and regular church activities nearby.

Access proves straightforward via paved roads, though some reviewers mention the surrounding neighborhood doesn't immediately suggest an RV park location. The facility works well as a staging point for Kansas City area visits, sitting roughly 30 minutes from downtown and 15 minutes from Arrowhead Stadium. Nathan T. notes the location's convenience for local events, stating "there is a very clean shower house and bathroom."

Campus RV Park suits travelers prioritizing full hookups and urban convenience over natural settings, particularly those attending Kansas City area events or exploring Independence's historical sites.

Visitors often highlighted the level concrete sites and clean facilities with reliable hookups. Noise from trains and urban activity was commonly noted. Many mentioned the convenient downtown Independence location near attractions.

Sketchy Neighborhood but nice RV park

On the way in the neighborhood itself did not seem very likely to hold an RV park this close to urban areas. But the place is nice, has Laundry, Showers etc. No campfire pit, and our spot was a tight fit, but seems nice.

Very suburban

Just 30 minutes to downtown Kansas City and maybe 15 minutes to arrowhead stadium, this campground is ideal for being close to everything that Kansas City offers. Full hook ups, concrete pads, showers and laundry.

Great location

Great little spot right in downtown Indep. Only drawback is all the sirens, all night and day. And the manager of the campground is fairly rude. He has asked me no less than three times what I was doing here. Been here over a month and he still stops me every chance he can to ask why I’m here…other than those two things it’s a great little place!

Its not pretty but its close and the staff are great!

We were going to local fair,  Santa Caligon. It was close and have a great view of this crazy church. It is close to downtown Independence, for local shopping and food. We already booked out place for next years event. It has full hookups and that's about it.  there is a very clean shower house and bathroom.

Great campground, centrally located

First off, the water in Independence MO top 10 in the world over time, and in #3 currently.

Great friendly staff. Level concrete sites. We’re in #22 - with wifi access point right here. 66m down, 24m up. It was so good (and the park is full) I did not bother testing my mobile plans

Nice and quiet ( on big church campus) - occasional train but not often enough to be a nuisance.

Will definitely return if on my route

Easy Access to City

This isn't our typical "go to" type campground; we stopped here because we were having some trouble with our truck and needed to have it looked over before heading out further west. The RV park is really close to downtown Independence, Missouri and has everything we needed for the night. It's within walking distance of everything in town, has full hook-ups, wifi, bathrooms, and a laundry facility.

It is what you might expect for an RV park so close to downtown, a little lacking in outdoor aesthetics. But, the bathrooms were clean, the showers very hot, and the laundry room was tidy! Also, the manager was super nice and accommodating.

Independence has some cool stuff to check out and has a very midwestern, small-town feel to it, even though it is basically a suburb of the greater Kansas City area. There is a lot of charm and some interesting architecture in the immediate area. The Truman Library, the Community of Christ Church, the downtown theater and court house are all interesting and worth a look. We had some time to kill and made the rounds to these various places. If the weather would have been warmer, it would have been a very bikeable area, too.
