Cherokee Landing

Paddlers and anglers find direct access to the Big River at Cherokee Landing, which sits along the water in Bonne Terre, Missouri. The campground accommodates RVs up to 50 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections, plus a dump station for those needing it. Sites can pool water during rain events, and the electrical connections may require some attention.

The facility provides basic amenities including restrooms, showers, and allows campfires. Float trip services operate from the property, giving campers immediate river access without additional transportation. Road noise from a nearby four-lane highway bridge and country road affects the camping experience. The campground lacks designated hiking or biking areas.

Awesome Family Campground

We love the beautiful lake, the swimming area is big and has a nice patio for access. You can rent a cart to go running around the huge campground. Very friendly staff.

Good for a lazy float

They have a nice, small, clean campground. Not recommended for experienced campers though. It is close to a busy 4 lane highway bridge on one side and a country road curve on the other though. Right on the Big River and they offer floats. No bicycle or hiking area. There is a shower house, firewood and small store. Within 2 mins from town. Owner is very accommodating.

Ok

This campground is ok. Not the nicest for the price you pay. What it has going for it is it's location. There are float trips available. It has a fishing lake and is right on the Big River.

I've hear some reviews about how low the water can be but that was not our experience. I've also heard how dirty the river is but it didn't strike me as all that dirty. It's a river. We paddle boarded and swam in the river. We did not take a float trip.

We had an electric site. The electrical connection was a bit iffy. Again not the nicest for the price. The sites tended to pool water but it was raining when we arrived.

We had a good time camping with friends and playing in the water but the campground itself wasn't much of contributing factor, just it's location.
