    Silver Mines

    Nice and affordable

    This is a nice little campground located in the Mark Twain National Forest. The St. Francis River runs behind the camp loop and the boat launch is walking distance, with room to splash around and fish. We were in site 8. The sites have a bit of breathing room between them. There were tent campers on up to a 40 foot toy hauler. The vault toilets were a bit sketchy and, while there's access to drinking water and some 30 amp sites, there's no dump station.

    Meramec State Park Campground

    Mera-culously huge

    Huge park with tons of amenities and options. Although there is year round Camping, the host on site advised water to each individual site will be turned off end of October for winter. Potable water is available near dump stations (hmmm....). Very well kept, and vacant this time of year, affords the opportunity for a more private camping and river experience. Clean well kept shower houses. Lodge & cabin rentals also available. Boat ramp in back of campground. Campsites with blue bands and parking stops are ADA compliant with concrete pads, elevated grills plus fire ring and picnic table.

    Otahki Lake Cabins and Campground

    Word from the staff

    This 1200 acre property used to be the beautiful Cherokee Ridge Girl Scout camp until it was sold in 2019. We have went through extensive renovations and development to bring this property to the public so that it can be enjoyed by our guests. River access and our private gravel/sand bars are available exclusively to our guests and have provided some of the most peaceful weekends imaginable.

    We have everything from glamping tents right on the river bluff (photos attached) to 12 fully equipped cabins with hot tubs overlooking the 22 acre lake with a beach and activities (photos attached)

    We have 4 Conestoga Wagons that are heated and air conditioned (see photos attached). They are the definition of glamping.

    50 RV sites with picnic tables fire/grill pits with a variety of 30 and 50 amp pull-through and back-in sites. We offer float trips, rental boats for the lake, and rental golf carts to adventure around the park.

    The park is going through endless development to continue to provide everyone with the most enjoyable and peaceful vacation possible.

    Onondaga Cave State Park Campground

    Clean and quiet park

    We stayed one night on our way through Missouri. It’s only about ten minutes south of I-44. The campground was only about half full, so it was nice and quiet. All sites have a concrete pad for the RV and for the picnic table. Includes water and electric. Playground, laundry room, and dump station. Hiking trails available from the campground and cave tours on weekends. We stayed at site #65 which is close to the entrance/restrooms and has no campsite on either side.

    Meramec Caverns Natural Campground

    Great Place to camp and enjoy!

    This was our first trip in our camper and a first camp at Meramec Caverns.

    The staff is friendly and helpful. Security patrols around the clock and doesn't put up with any ridiculousness.

    Campsites available on pavement, gravel for campers and RVs and grass for tents. Our site had 30/50 amp service and water on a gravel site facing the Meramec River. It waa a beautiful view!

    Shower house and restroom facilities are clean and maintained.

    A dump station is located just outsIde the main gate of the campgrounds.

    Because of the location, there is no wifi and we had no cell service for the majority of our stay. Once in a while it would get a signal but it was very brief.

    Campsites are separated from the Meramec Caverns tourist attractions so there is not constant traffic coming through the campsite.

    Most campsites had a stone fire ring, bbq grill, and picnic table.

    The cave tour, zipline, boat ride, canoe and float trips and motel are all within short walking distance from the campgrounds.

    The campground store has ice, firewood and basics available. The gift shop at the cave has typical tourist items available. The restaurant is more of a snack bar and not a full service restaurant, so don't rely on it for your meals during your stay!

    The cave tour is interesting and informative and on a hot day the 60 degree temp of the cave is the perfect place to hang out for a while!

    Overall, a very nice place to camp and enjoy the outdoors without being too far from home.

    We will definitely be back for another stay!

    Washington State Park Campground

    The perfect park

    We absolutely love this park. It’s just under an hour from St. Louis, with river access, amazing hiking trails & great views. Very clean campsites with lots of shade for tent campers & nice level lots. There is even a swimming pool if the river isn’t your thing & a couple playgrounds too. There is a dollar general right outside the park entrance which is super convenient if you forget something or your lighter runs out of fluid like us lol. They have cabins to rents as well as Camper spots and basic lots. Pet friendly! Highly recommend this park. The whole family enjoyed staying here.

    Kaskaskia Jerry F. Costello Lock and Dam (formerly the Kaskaskia Lock and Dam

    Hidden gem

    This is a very clean campground with electric only hook-up. It had nice big concrete pads, a large picnic table and large fire pit/grill at each site. Water was available close to the restrooms and is accessible to fill campers. Parking area at each site could accommodate two vehicles. The capsites were located next to the Kaskaskia River. There is a recreation area with a large pavilion and fishing is accessible from here. By the camping area there is a hiking trail through the woods that ends at the confluence of the Kaskaskia and Mississippi Rivers. This trail is paved for walking, bicycles and wheelchairs. There is also a boat ramp close to campsites.

    Meramec Caverns Natural Campground

    Quiet and Relaxing

    We really enjoyed this campground. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Check-in was very easy and we were met at the gate. They drove us over to our spot and brought us over a firepit. The electrical box was setup correctly and everything worked as expected. Water hookup was very close as well and water pressure was strong. As an FYI, we did have to use a regulator to reduce the water pressure. 

    We were able to stay right along the river. We had arrived a little too early in the camping season and we happened to pick days where Missouri had a cold front (previous weekend was warm). Even with the cold weather, we were able to really enjoy the trip and get our RV ready for the upcoming season. 

    The camping spots are basically just spots in a big parking lot layout. It is fully paved, but during busy season, you would be very close to other rigs. The park is beautiful and a very short walk over to the cave and ziplines. There is easy access to the river and you are able to easily put in your kayak or small boat. Restroom, showers and trash were a short walk as well.

    We will return to this site.


Guide to Belleview

The Ozark region around Belleview, Missouri ranges from 700 to 1,500 feet in elevation, creating varied terrain for camping across the area. The climate features hot summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F from June through August, while spring and fall offer milder conditions popular with RV travelers. Many RV parks in this area have direct access to the region's spring-fed creeks and rivers.

What to do

Creek exploration: Big Creek RV Park in Annapolis provides easy access to the park's spring-fed creek, ideal for cooling off during hot summer days. "The creek is nice for cooling down on a hot day, but there is a pool if you'd rather do that," shares Mike T. The park also offers a "great little hiking/biking path along creek that runs along park," according to Eric H.

Natural swimming areas: Indian Springs Resort and Campground offers natural swimming holes along a sandy beach area beside the Meramec River. Taryn S. notes, "Great camp store and a large sandy beach with natural swimming holes, plus a seasonal pool." The resort also provides float trips with both boat rentals and shuttle services.

State park adventures: At Johnson's Shut-Ins State Park, visitors can climb on the distinctive rock formations that create natural water slides and pools. "Our kids loved climbing all over the shut-ins. We have already planned to return in the summer to swim!" reports Ashlee B. The park connects to camping areas via a paved bike trail.

What campers like

Level sites: RV campers appreciate the concrete pull-through sites at Johnson's Shut-Ins State Park, which are designed to accommodate larger vehicles. Elizabeth W. mentions, "Beautiful site, each walk-in was spread apart from each other," while Chad K. adds that "the campsites are level and well maintained."

Spacious layouts: Pheasant Acres RV Park offers more room between sites than many other parks in the region. "Where your camper sits is all rock but then where the fire pit is all grass and a pretty big spot to be able to relax in," explains Robyn C. The park also features "trails for bike riding, a big open field for the kids to play ball," according to Isaiah D.

Weekend activities: Many RV parks near Belleview organize regular events for campers. At Big Creek RV Park, "Saturday is fun with different campground activities and an evening hayride," according to Mike T. Other parks feature similar scheduled recreation options, with Indian Springs Resort offering "programs and activities including scavenger hunts, movie nights, pancake breakfasts."

What you should know

Cell service variability: Different carriers perform better than others throughout the Ozark region. At Big Creek RV Park, Eric H. reports, "Verizon worked ok. T-Mobile very poor." Similarly, Amy & Stu B. found "Verizon had 0 service, ATT had very minimal service and their Wi-Fi went in and out."

Limited supplies: Some RV parks near Belleview are located in rural areas without convenient access to stores. At Big Creek RV Park, campers should note that there's "not a lot of supplies nearby. Make sure you bring with you," advises Eric H. Planning ahead with groceries and camping supplies is recommended.

Reservation timing: RV Self-Park in Sullivan operates with minimal staffing and uses an automated system for check-in. "You can reserve a site online or just do it when you get there as I did. After paying the power is supposed to be turned on," explains Russell K., adding that he needed to call the listed number to activate his power.

Tips for camping with families

Family-friendly amenities: Pheasant Acres RV Park offers unique attractions for children. "They have trails for bike riding, a big open field for the kids to play ball and rabbits the kids loved feeding," reports Isaiah D. Many families appreciate the mixture of outdoor activities and wildlife encounters.

Kid-friendly water features: Saline Creek RV Park and Campground offers creek access alongside the campsites. Vicky P. describes it as "beautiful and quiet. New sites, tables, and a beautiful creek. A couple of ponies too." The shallow creek provides safer water play for younger children than deeper river locations.

Pet restrictions: While most RV parks near Belleview welcome dogs, Johnson's Shut-Ins State Park has important limitations. Erin J. cautions, "The shut-ins trail DOES NOT allow dogs so that's a bummer. Found some other local hiking trails so overall it wasn't too bad." Check trail regulations before planning activities with pets.

Tips from RVers

Easy overnights: RV Self-Park provides convenient overnight stays along major routes. "Very well lit, very clean and very easy to get in and very secure with a ton of cameras," notes Grant, while Russell K. adds it's "very new, neat and clean" where "you can get in and out really quick."

Highway noise considerations: Some RV parks near Belleview are situated close to major roadways. RV Self-Park has "lots of interstate noise as it's very close," according to Never Sitting S. Noise-sensitive campers may prefer sites at Patt's Place, LLC, which offers a quieter setting with well-graveled spaces.

Hookup details: RV parks near Belleview offer varying levels of services. Chris L. appreciated that Patt's Place provides "easy water and electric hook-up with both 30 and 50 amp," while the owners "met us at the entrance and guided us in which was much appreciated." For beginners, this hands-on assistance can be particularly valuable.
