      A Country Charm RV Park

      Great place to stay!

      This small RV park was a great place for us to stay while visiting family in the area. The owner is very helpful. The facilities and grounds are very well maintained. There is a washer and dryer with a folding area. The restrooms and shower area is private and super clean. There is a nice picnic table and fire ring at each site. Bundles of fire wood are available for sale.

      Quail Ridge Campground

      Convenient, not rustic

      We’re on our third trip staying here. We have family in Bethany, so it’s nice to be close to them. It’s right off I-35, behind some stores and restaurants. There are about a dozen spaces, each with water, sewer, and electric. They have picnic tables, but no fire rings. There aren’t any shower or laundry facilities, but there is a laundromat down the street. There are several trailers parked here that are unsightly, that have been poorly patched up with things like plywood and Walmart bags covering up windows.

      Pony Express RV Park

      This is a 12-month open RV Park. I live here full time. Most sites offer 30 and 50 Amp, Water and Sewer. WiFi has improved. The owner is on site daily and is very attentive.

      Lodder Up & Camp

      Cute little campground w/ friendly owners

      Very small campground on the edge of town (appx 20ish sites). Full hookups and all most amenities you will find at larger properties: laundry, showers, picnic tables and fire rings. Sites have decent amount of space between them. Booking online is a bit confusing but owners are very friendly and helpful.

      A Country Charm RV Park

      Practically perfect!

      Lovely small RV park. Only about 12 sites. Super friendly, helpful owner. Quiet area in a small town but grocery store just down the road if you need to restock.

      Level sites. Good hook-up access. Small, clean laundry. Bathrooms were top-notch. Every campground should have the same set up. Handicap accessible, all in one in same room. So great if you have kids or someone with a disability.

      City pool and playground across the street. Only stayed one night so didn’t get a chance to try those. Will definitely stay again when passing through the area.

      Wallace State Park Campground

      Small but beautiful.

      Small park with some very private sites and some very exposed sites. Nice showers and dump station.

      Watkins Mill State Park Campground

      Secluded, but less than an hour from KC

      Large shaded campsites. The bathrooms and showers are the best we’ve had at a campground. The big king trail is very family friendly. The mill was a great side trip, I would highly recommend.

    What campers like

    Private bathroom facilities: Several RV parks near Chillicothe feature individual bathroom units rather than communal facilities. "Bathrooms were top-notch. Every campground should have the same set up. Handicap accessible, all in one in same room. So great if you have kids or someone with a disability," says Mary D. about A Country Charm RV Park.

    Overnight interstate access: Quick-stop options serve travelers passing through on I-35. "Conveniently off I35. Perfect for a quick overnight stop on your journey! Located at Love's so most things you could need are available there," writes Tori K. about Love's RV Hookup.

    Campfire options: While not universal at all area RV parks, campfire facilities remain important to many visitors. "Had a big fire outside one of the cabins today! Great company, warm flames, and hot dogs makes for a wonderful night, but the stars and beautiful weather seriously enhanced it like none other," reports Adam M. about his experience at Honey Grove Campground.

    What you should know

    Tent restrictions: Some RV parks near Chillicothe strictly prohibit tent camping. One cyclist reported being turned away, stating "its not tent friendly owner was a total a hole towards this bikepacker 'this is a rv park im not loosing my license over a tent'" at one location. Verify tent policies before arrival.

    Limited staffing: Some smaller facilities operate with minimal on-site personnel. "[There's] no reservations and no staff, just a drop box for payment," notes Cathleen V. about Quail Ridge Campground in Bethany.

    Office hours: Sunday arrivals may encounter closed offices at some parks. "We arrived on Sunday at 3:30 pm and office closed. Booked online which stated campground would assign spot. No one around and placed 2 calls unanswered. Selected a spot, spent night and left in AM," reports Cher & Walter P.

    Tips for camping with families

    Bathroom accessibility: Families with small children or members with mobility concerns should note facility layouts. "Small, clean laundry. Bathrooms were top-notch.

    Tips from RVers

    Site spacing considerations: Multiple campgrounds near Chillicothe feature close site arrangements. "The bad is that there's very little room between pads and except for some aging picnic tables, no amenities," notes one RVer about their experience.

    Full-time residents: Some parks accommodate permanent residents. "This is a 12-month open RV Park. I live here full time. Most sites offer 30 and 50 Amp, Water and Sewer. WiFi has improved," shares Rick K. about Pony Express RV, indicating the mixed-use nature of the facility.

    Site levelness: RVers consistently mention site grading as important. "Park has underwent a full makeover. Electrical, plumbing, surfaces all have been updated. Level, full-hookup, pull-through sites," notes Dylan H. about recent improvements at one location.
