Best RV Parks & Resorts near Cottleville, MO

Several RV parks surround Cottleville, Missouri with full-hookup sites for various motorhome sizes. St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park provides concrete pads ($50) and gravel sites ($45) with water, sewer, and 50-amp electrical connections around a man-made lake. Sundermeier RV Park in St. Charles features level concrete pads with double-wide spacing. "The roads within the campground were double-wide so we had no trouble turning and getting into our spot. The sites were double-wide concrete," noted one camper about Sundermeier. Beyond the Trail RV Park accommodates both back-in and pull-through sites with full hookups, while Covered Bridge RV Park offers spacious sites despite being a smaller facility.

Throughout the St. Louis metro area, RV parks typically remain open year-round with varying noise levels from nearby infrastructure. Sundermeier sits near both airport flight paths and railroad tracks, though most reviewers indicate the noise subsides in late evening. Parks near major attractions like Six Flags offer guided assistance with backing and leveling larger rigs. Pet policies vary by location, with most parks welcoming pets but enforcing leash requirements. Campfire restrictions exist at some facilities, particularly Sundermeier where city ordinances prohibit open flames. Cell service remains strong throughout the region with many parks offering WiFi—one visitor at Covered Bridge mentioned getting "full bars of 5G with Verizon" and workable park WiFi during their stay.

    Birch Creek RV Park

    Nice spot for quick stop

    This is a small RV park just off I-44 about 20 minutes from Meramec Caverns. It’s very close to the highway so there is lots of highway noise. Some sites are farther away so not so bad. There is easy access from I-44.

    30 & 50-Amp Electrical, Water & Sewer Hook-ups. Concrete pads. Bathroom/showers are clean. Pet friendly, coin laundry. Some pull thru sites. Adjacent to the Great American Flea Market on weekends if you like that stuff.

    Lazy Day Campground

    One of the Nicer Private Campgrounds

    The campground (CG) was easy to find, located just 5 miles off I-70 with clear signage along the way. We parked at the designated registration area, and check-in was quick for our one-night stay. We were then escorted to pull-through site 17 with full hookups. The gravel pad was fairly level, and although the utilities were toward the back of the site, we had no trouble connecting. There were two sewer hookups—a nice touch. Water is shared, but the pressure was solid at about 50 psi. Sites are decently spaced, though some are closer together; ours was relatively close to the next site on the driver side. Our site had a nice yard, picnic table, and fire pit, but if someone had been in the site next to us, we would have been sharing that area. We got 2 bars on Verizon and 3 bars on T-Mobile, and our T-Mobile Home Internet worked very well. The CG WiFi was fine for email and web browsing. While the grounds have mature trees, most sites—including 17—are satellite-friendly. The 1/2-acre dog park was especially impressive. There was a mix of permanent, seasonal, and short-term guests. The park was clean, well-maintained, and featured fun wood carvings. The setting includes a pond and a trail to a small lake. A small camp store, ice, and propane are also available. Overall, this is a solid CG for overnight or extended stays. Out of the 325+ campgrounds we've visited, this one has the best rules sheet—hands down. It's hilarious, and you’ll instantly get their vibe!

    Hermann City RV Park

    Birthplace of Missouri Wine Country

    Hermann is an amazing village of old world charm nestled into the Missouri River Valley. Picture book clock towers and church steeples among 19th century era brick cottages adorn the historic German immigrant influenced village with plenty of restaurants, shops and galleries for wandering pleasure. Hermann is right in the heart of Missouri wine country with two stunning wineries within walking distance of the campground; Stone Hill and Hermannhof...these are not to be missed. For cycling enthusiasts...the 240 mile Katy State Park Trail(nation's longest Rails to Trails Project) is just across the river from Hermann and follows the Missouri river through countless little river towns rich in history. A short distance south on highway 19 is the Swiss Meat Company, well worth a visit. The city park has an amazing campground operated by the City of Hermann. They offer full hook up sites(water, electric and sewer), water and electric, electric only, and tent camping. 18 full hook up sites are paved with grass areas and fire rings, 25 full hook up sites are on a paved parking lot(big rig friendly), and 8 electric only sites are on grassy area. A bath house with showers and restrooms are available, along with a dump station.To make a reservation please call the City Office, 573-486-5400, Monday-Friday between 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Full hookup(water, electric& sewer)…..$30.00 Water and electric…..$25.00 Electric only…..$20.00 Tent camping…..$15.00 This is a great spot for an overnight...but don't cut yourself short...it's absolutely great for an extended stay. http://hermannmo.com/campground/

    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.

    St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park

    RV delight

    I wanted to escape the house and go camping while on the work from home order (Covid-19 happening at the time of this review), so I headed to a very local park and campground to pitch my tent. I've been to 370 Lakeside Park many times to walk around the huge lake and to hear concerts in the summer, but I had never camped there. Still haven't. I'll explain. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, they were not so keen on having tent campers. But they were very nice and gave me the general lowdown on this "in the city" campground. Since they opened the campground, most of their campers have been RV owners, and so it is really designed for the RV camper. There is a small primitive section for group tent camping, but the majority of the sites are full hookups for RVs. Some sites are pull through and some are back in. All have picnic tables and fire pits. The park has planted some trees, but they are really just saplings, so there is no shade yet. There is a nice bathhouse with free showers for the campers and pay laundry. If you are lucky, you can get a site close to the water, but it means the walking trail is right next to your unit. Trade offs, I suppose. One couple I talked to was camping long term (I think they are permanent RV'ers) and they got a free membership to the St Peter's RecPlex recreation center with their long term spot (they said something about having to book a least a month out to get this perk). One of the downsides to this location is that it is prone to flooding. It was out of commission for most of the summer of 2019 as the entire area was flooded. But the City of St Peters did a great job getting this place back to usable with new sod, a new bathhouse, and some general sprucing up. The lake is great to walk around, about a 3 mile walk or bike on a paved trail. You can see all kinds of wildlife in and around the lake- deer, bald eagles, pelicans, ducks, snakes. In the summers they have live music in the large pavilion, and you can rent kayaks and other small boats to take out on the lake as well as bikes to ride around on. The office told me that they have 24 hour on site security also. If I really wanted to tent camp, I could rent a section of the group camping area, but $30 seemed pricey for just me, and it was very soggy to boot. Or I  could rent an RV spot, but $45 was silly when I don' t need hookups.

    Kan-Do Kampground & RV Park

    Quiet and Clean-Would return!

    Driving through the area and needed a place to park and sleep. We didn’t use any of the facilities, but my impression was good! The campground is clean and there are lots of spaces. We had site 30- nice pull through spot with no length issues at all with our 40 ft toy hauler. Prices are super reasonable and full hook ups.

    Draft Kings at Casino Queen RV Park

    Clean, Secure Overnight Park

    Very clean and secure overnight park just outside of STL. Phenomenal views of downtown and the arch, and fairly easy access to I-55/64/70. Facilities lacked some amenities (only vending machines, convenience store has shut down), but clean, paved, level sites with full hookups throughout.

    Cahokia RV Parque

    Great Campground!

    We had a great experience in the 4 nights we spent here. The grounds, pool, laundry, and bathrooms were all in excellent repair and clean. The park was quiet, but very family friendly. The spots are roomy enough, given that you’re situated less than 15 miles from downtown St. Louis. The picnic tables and fire rings are nice additions and the lots appear to be level (ours was.) We didn’t have any trouble backing our 38 ft travel trailer in either. Do NOT miss the BBQ place in the parking lot... fantastic food and a 10% discount for park customers.


Guide to Cottleville

RV campgrounds near Cottleville, Missouri offer convenient access to both urban attractions and outdoor recreation opportunities. The St. Louis metro area sits at approximately 450-600 feet above sea level with a humid continental climate featuring hot summers and moderately cold winters. Most camping facilities in the region remain open year-round despite seasonal temperature fluctuations that can range from below freezing in winter to above 90°F with high humidity during summer months.

What to do

Bike the Katy Trail: Access points near several Cottleville-area RV parks provide direct entry to Missouri's premier rail trail. At Beyond the Trail RV Park, "The Katy trail borders the park for easy access to town. Beautiful views across a large farm field (soy beans when we were here) to the hills beyond with incredible sunsets," notes one visitor.

Visit historic towns: The region features several well-preserved historic districts within short drives. "Just a place to park the camper and sleep. Big rig friendly for sure. Went back to see the Arch Natl park and down into historic St. Charles. Beautiful historic town with plenty to see and do, with a casino past that," reports a camper from Sundermeier RV Park.

Explore local wineries: Missouri wine country begins just west of Cottleville. "Hermann is an amazing village of old world charm nestled into the Missouri River Valley. Picture book clock towers and church steeples among 19th century era brick cottages adorn the historic German immigrant influenced village with plenty of restaurants, shops and galleries for wandering pleasure," explains a visitor at Hermann City RV Park.

What campers like

Recreational amenities: Several parks provide on-site activities. "St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park is a very nice park. The lake is great to walk around, about a 3 mile walk or bike on a paved trail. You can see all kinds of wildlife in and around the lake- deer, bald eagles, pelicans, ducks, snakes. In the summers they have live music in the large pavilion, and you can rent kayaks and other small boats to take out on the lake as well as bikes to ride around on."

Gateway Arch views: East of Cottleville, campgrounds provide city views. "Very clean and secure overnight park just outside of STL. Phenomenal views of downtown and the arch, and fairly easy access to I-55/64/70. Facilities lacked some amenities (only vending machines, convenience store has shut down), but clean, paved, level sites with full hookups throughout," describes a visitor to Casino Queen RV Park.

On-site dining options: Some facilities feature restaurants on the grounds. "Pet-friendly, full hookups, space for our larger rig and parking around for extra vehicle. Laundry and propane on site. Spaces were a little close together, but minutes from downtown St. Louis, and staff was friendly and accommodating. Also, fantastic restaurant right on site -- Sawmill BBQ!" notes a reviewer at Cahokia RV Parque.

What you should know

Flash flooding concerns: Some parks experience water issues during heavy rains. "My only complaint which isn't the campgrounds fault, is you have some drainage issues if it rains a lot. A few of the campsites will flood, not bad enough to get to your camper, but just enough to be annoying," reports a visitor to Beyond the Trail RV Park.

Variable noise levels: Transportation infrastructure creates sound throughout the region. "Close to the arch, that's why we chose this place to stay overnight. Lots of noise from the interstate and there's a train that goes by a couple times in the middle of the night, but the view of the arch and downtown St Louis and access to both is fantastic," explains a guest at Casino Queen RV Park.

Uneven distribution of amenities: Facilities differ widely in features. "For this to be such a small RV park (smallest we've stayed at so far) the sites are very spacious! The wi-fi was surprisingly good enough that my wife and I could both work off of it and even stream shows on the Roku the whole week... there wasn't any bathrooms/showers, pool, fire ring, etc," notes a camper about Covered Bridge RV Park.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Look for parks with play areas. "This park is beautiful. Located about 25 minutes from St Louis. They have paddle boats and bikes and group bikes for rental. Located right next to a lake with a lot of RV and tent camping spots. Kids had a blast riding bikes. Even finding a few little frogs jumping around and fireflies at night," shares a family at St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park.

Security features: Some parks offer increased safety measures. "We rolled into RV Self-Park late with our pup and loved how smooth the process was. Booking online was quick, the site was level, and everything was super easy—even after dark. It's well-lit, secure, and the hookups worked right on time. There's a fenced dog area too, which was a nice surprise," notes a visitor at RV Self-Park.

City attractions proximity: Consider travel times to family destinations. "Excellent little RV park behind a brewery. The Katy trail borders the park for easy access to town... Full hookups with both back in and pull through sites," reports a family staying at Beyond the Trail RV Park.

Tips from RVers

Specialized site requests: Ask about specific site layouts. "The utilities are set up weird on all sites - Water and electric are at the very rear of the site by the sewer, so you will need a decent sized hose to reach if your water intake is in the front of your camper," advises a visitor to Casino Queen RV Park.

Self-service systems: Be prepared for automated processes at some facilities. "I was impressed with this place. It's not staffed on-site as far as I saw. 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. Mine wasn't after a couple minutes but I called the number in the confirmation email and it was on within seconds."

Leveling conditions: Site surfaces vary between parks. "We loved how spacious it was. The roads within the campground were double-wide so we had no trouble turning and getting into our spot. The sites were double-wide concrete. We were able to park next to our 5th wheel with enough room to not feel crowded while using the picnic bench. Also the site was level," reports a Sundermeier visitor.
