337 Reviews

Several RV parks with full hookups operate near Benton, Missouri, with options spanning from Sikeston to Cape Girardeau. Hinton RV Park in Sikeston features level gravel sites with full hookups including 50-amp electric service, water, and sewer connections. The Landing Point RV Park in Cape Girardeau provides concrete pads suitable for larger motorhomes with 50-amp service and sewer hookups. According to one visitor, "Real nice RV park orientated toward rigs of all sizes. Easy to navigate the roads, with every site level concrete." Cape Camping & RV Park offers pull-through sites with full hookups while Town and Country RV Resort provides year-round accessibility with electric, water, and sewer connections for overnight and extended stays.

Seasonal considerations affect RV travel planning in the region, with most parks remaining open year-round but experiencing higher occupancy during spring and fall months.

    Magnolia Campground & Country Store

    Highlights

    🌳 Highlights

    Welcome & Hospitality Newly opened in October 2020 and family-run by Rick & Glenda Wilson, guests often highlight their warm, friendly service . One reviewer said:

    > “Owners and staff all super friendly, engaging and kind.”

    Campground Quality Features include full hookups (30/50 amp, water, sewer), gravel pull-through sites for big rigs (up to ~43 ft), free WiFi, dump station, propane fill, fire pits, picnic tables, laundry, and a shower house .

    On‑site Country Store & Deli A notable perk is the store with fresh deli items and daily lunch specials—particularly Friday catfish dinners—plus occasional breakfast on Saturdays .

    ⭐ Guest Reviews Snapshot

    Mick & Karla (30 Mar 2025)

    Booked same-day, chose pull-through site, enjoyed 40 psi water, decent WiFi/cell service.

    Friendly staff and solid amenities, though gravel/dirt sites got dusty or muddy depending on weather.

    Road noise from nearby I‑57 noted. Felt $40/night was a bit high.

    CatTrailzz (24 Jul 2024)

    Quiet despite being near the freeway. Loves the deli (noting salads and pulled pork).

    Clean facilities, new shower room.

    Plans to stay again.

    QueenMartell (16 Mar 2024)

    Friendly check-in, excellent service.

    Accommodated a 43 ft fifth wheel with ease.

    Highly recommends, loves the Friday catfish.

    Other reviewers (Kitty, Kyla D, Tergeo)

    Consistently mention friendly owners, clean/gravel sites, good common areas, and a strong likelihood to return .

    Pros & Cons

    👍 Pros 👎 Cons

    Warm, personal service Sites are gravel/dirt—can be dusty or muddy Full hookups and big‑rig friendly Road noise from I‑57 On-site deli with fresh food & catfish dinners Wi-Fi and cell coverage are serviceable but not exceptional Clean shower/laundry facilities Price (~$39–40/night) might be a bit high for basic amenities

    Summary

    Magnolia Campground is a great overnight or short-term stop if you’re looking for friendly hospitality, solid basic RV hookups, and the novelty of a country store with good food in southeast Missouri. It’s particularly suited for large RVs, travelers who enjoy a welcoming vibe, and those who appreciate a Friday catfish dinner. It’s not a destination resort, so if you're seeking plush amenities or a quiet nature getaway, plan accordingly.

    Bottom Line

    If you're rolling through with an RV and want a hassle-free, friendly, quick stay with full hookups and good food, Magnolia is a solid choice. For longer stays, be prepared for gravel underfoot and some road noise—but clean facilities and warm hosts might still make it worth it.

    Magnolia Campground & Country Store

    Very Good Customer Service

    This review is based on a short stay rather than a destination campground (CG) experience. We found this CG while looking for options near Sikeston, MO, and decided to try it based on positive online reviews. Booking was easy with a same-day reservation, and we received an email with directions, the WiFi password, and instructions to pick any site between 8 and 13, designated for big rigs and short-term stays, as most of the other sites were occupied by longer-term residents. We chose pull-through site #11 with full hookups (FHU) due to its convenient angle. All of the sites, including the shorter back-ins, offer FHU. Our site accommodated our 40’ fifth wheel and F450 truck comfortably, with centrally located utilities and 40 psi water pressure. The WiFi was sufficient for checking emails and general browsing, while cell service was limited to 1 bar on Verizon and 3 bars on T-Mobile. With few trees, satellite reception wouldn’t be an issue. During our stay, we were the only short-term guests. Some sites had picnic tables and fire pits, and while ours did not, we could have moved them if desired. The CG has a nice shower house and laundry facility, but the real draw is the country store, which operates more like a restaurant. The owner and staff were exceptionally friendly, and the food was good. The sites are pretty much gravel and dirt. At $40 per night, the price felt a bit high for the amenities offered. We were there during dusty conditions, and friends came through a week later in the rain, and the CG was muddy. Along with the country store with a restaurant, there’s a dump station, plus they sell ice and propane. Being located along a frontage road off I-57, road noise was noticeable. Overall, we had a pleasant overnight stay and appreciated their hospitality.

    Riverview Campground

    Beautiful Views

    Riverview campground is a clean, quiet, family friendly campground. It overlooks the Ohio River and provides amazing views at sunset. The stargazing is also great. There are 30 amp and 50 amp sites with water, and a dump station is on site. Firewood is also provided. This was the perfect place to spend the weekend!

    Greenville - Lake Wappapello

    A great COE campground

    If you've camped before at a COE campground you expect a quality experience. This one is no exception. It has paved drives and paved sites with a concrete pad for the fire ring and picnic table along with a hook for your lantern. They are also full hookups.

    The place is very clean as well as the restrooms. There are plenty of things to do right from the campground including a paved bike trail into Greenville. We spent two days in early November and just about had the park to ourselves.

    Cell service was adequate but not great.

    Cypress Creek RV Park

    Great for the Night

    If you are traveling on I 57 or I 55 this is a great over night stay.  Beautiful Campground but not to many amenities.  IT does have the best internet we have had in 3 months.  Love the trees and nice level sites.  It has a few run down long term campers, but they don't over run the place.

    Redman Creek Recreation Area

    Best place to camp

    This is a Army Corps of Engineers campground. We love it because it is quite and peaceful. The sites are well maintained with asphalted pads, fire pit, grill, camp light pole and picnic table. Best of all it is full hook up. Redman West traditionally has older campers (sites 1-40)but Redman east usually has more kids (sites 41-109) (currently under remodel 2023 season). Both sides are family friendly. We camp Redman West March to November.

    Fern Lake Campground

    Clean, close to Highway

    We stopped here overnight twice because it was close to the highway and had pull-through sites to accommodate our 43’ fifth wheel. We were pleasantly surprised by how nice it was, and you couldn’t even hear the Highway. Our sites both times were in the gravel pull-through area, which seems to be intended for short stays. Even though we were close to the neighbors the sites are angled, so we had a beautiful view of a grassy area with trees out our living room windows. The longer stay sites had gravel and then grass in between the sites, and views of a lake. Very serene, pretty and clean campground.

    Shawnee Forest Campground

    EV Car Camping

    I’m a novice car camper, sleeping in my Tesla Model 3. This campground is quiet and clean. The host is very friendly and knowledgeable. Each site has 50 amp electric service (so you can charge your EV with a NEMA 14-50 plug), fresh water, fire pits, and picnic tables. A nice stop to visit the Shawnee National Forest.

    Redman Creek Recreation Area

    Nice COE park, but not as nice as some others

    On the smaller side for COE parks, and generally pretty nice. Not many real level sites. Bring plenty of blocks. Some sites are pretty close to each other. Water & electric at sites, although our faucet leaked a lot. ATT & Verizon both worked weakly but got out. Shower house was clean, used, but clean. Roads were easy to navigate & several big rigs had no issues. Right off the hiway, so easy in & out.

Guide to Benton

RV camping near Benton, Missouri offers convenient access points around southeastern Missouri and neighboring Illinois. The region lies near the Mississippi River with mostly flat terrain at approximately 400 feet elevation. Most campgrounds operate year-round, though winter camping may require additional preparation with temperatures regularly dropping below freezing from December through February.

What to do

Fishing access: Horseshoe Lake in nearby Alexander County provides cypress-lined fishing opportunities for campers. "Gray lake for kayaking... west side was very peaceful for most part," notes a visitor to Horseshoe Lake Alexander County.

Walking trails: Several campgrounds connect to walking paths suitable for daily exercise. The Landing Point RV Park offers easy access to paved walking areas, while Cape Camping provides "a very large concrete walking trail nearby," according to a reviewer.

Historic sites: Explore nearby Fort Defiance while staying in the area. A camper at Horseshoe Lake Alexander County mentioned, "The town of Cairo is a ghost town but Ft. Defiance is worth seeing."

What campers like

Easy highway access: Most campgrounds prioritize convenient interstate access for travelers passing through. A camper at Hinton RV Park noted, "This little RV Park is not far off the highway and it was easy to find. Staff was nice and friendly."

Dog-friendly areas: Several parks provide dedicated space for pets. "They also have a dog park area," mentions a reviewer about The Landing Point RV Park, while another camper at The Landing Point RV Park appreciated the "nice fenced in area for dogs to run and play at."

Shade coverage: Tree cover varies significantly between parks. Wildwood RV Park offers "well kept grounds" according to reviewers, while at Horseshoe Lake, campers enjoy "big beautiful cypress and tupelo trees. Shaded spots and laid back atmosphere."

What you should know

Varied site surfaces: Surface types range from gravel to concrete across the region. At Cape Camping & RV Park, a visitor noted: "The sites are close together, no shade, mostly cement. If you want a place to get off the highway for the night and the jump back on... this is for you."

Nearby water activities: During summer months, some parks offer close proximity to water attractions. "Water park close by (5 minute drive) that was great for the kids on a hot day," noted a camper at The Landing Point RV Park.

Open play spaces: Look for campgrounds with common areas for children. The Landing Point RV Park includes "a big grassy area in the middle of the loop of wanting to play games and run around."

Tips from RVers

Site reservation process: After-hours arrivals are accommodated at some parks with self-check-in systems. A camper at Hinton RV Park explained: "Pulled in after dark, had made reservations and welcome package with directions to my site was on office door. Site was protected with an orange cone."
