RV sites near Newburg, Missouri offer convenient access to the Ozark landscapes and Meramec River. The region sits at elevations ranging from 700 to 1,000 feet, with rolling hills characteristic of the northern Ozarks. Campgrounds in this area operate in a humid continental climate with four distinct seasons, typically receiving 42-45 inches of rainfall annually.
What to do
Hiking trails and outdoor exploration: Haven Hollow RV Park provides access to extensive walking trails across 200+ acres with a small pond. "They cut walking trails over 200+ acres with a little pond (no fish in it at this time). They also have a large chicken coop in the middle of the meadow and you are able to purchase a dozen eggs for $2," notes one visitor who warns that "ticks were out in mass" during their May visit.
River activities: Indian Springs Resort and Campground is a popular base for Meramec River recreation. "Float trips are a big deal here, and Indian Springs offers both boat rentals and shuttle services. We used their shuttling one day, then the second day, I drove my husband up to the put-in (less than 10 mins) and he floated back and took out here," shares a camper who appreciated the convenience.
Family recreation: Pheasant Acres RV Park offers family-friendly activities beyond basic camping. "They have trails for bike riding, a big open field for the kids to play ball and rabbits the kids loved feeding," mentions one reviewer who rated their experience highly.
What campers like
Clean, well-maintained facilities: Three Springs RV Park & Campground receives praise for its cleanliness. "Toilets and showers are clean. All the hookups are available. Area is well lit at night. Everyone is pretty quiet," notes one satisfied camper.
Helpful owners and hosts: Lamplight Lane RV Resort at Glen Oaks stands out for its service. "The owners/operators are awesome. The only draw back is that the roads and spots are all gravel and can be muddy at times. We spent a winter here and the owner was always helpful if anyone needed help dealing with the cold," shares one long-term visitor.
Spacious camping areas: Haven Hollow RV Park offers roomier sites than many competitors. "This place is much more like private property (with the bonus of full hookups), than an 'RV park'. Roomy, level, and clean lots. Organized & friendly owners. Great lot amenities (fire pits, picnic tables with umbrellas, well maintained hookups)," explains one reviewer who stayed with their dogs and 36' fifth wheel.
What you should know
Highway noise factors: RV Self-Park provides quick access but comes with traffic sounds. "If you love the sound of freeways this is the place for you," warns one candid reviewer, while another notes it's "Just a simple nice place to come for a night or a few days to tour the area... Very clean. Lots of interstate noise as it's very close."
Accessibility considerations: Some campgrounds require navigation on rural roads. "Haven Hollow is well off the interstate and is very quiet. The campground is back about 3 miles off some very country roads, but we had no problem with our 39' 5th wheel and F-450, just take it slow. The last 1.5 miles is gravel and it was a little dusty coming in," advises one camper.
Wi-Fi and connectivity: Osage Beach RV Park offers reliable internet for remote workers. "This was a very nice, clean campground in the city of Osage Beach. We needed a campsite to be able to work and school remotely from and this fit the bill with excellent WiFi that had boosters all throughout the campground," reports one digital nomad family.
Tips for camping with families
Look for dedicated kids' areas: Doolittle Acres RV Park and Campground includes child-friendly amenities. "Good area only a mile off the highway so it made a great night stopping point. They have a little dog park, kids park, and it was all clean and well maintained," shares a parent who appreciated these features.
Consider campground programs: Indian Springs Resort offers structured activities for children. "It's VERY family-oriented (probably not for you if you want to party), with tons of games like volleyball and horseshoes, plus onsite programs and activities including scavenger hunts, movie nights, pancake breakfasts, etc.," explains a parent who prefers this established site over more dispersed camping options.
Check for swimming options: Some campgrounds offer water recreation on-site. "Great camp store and a large sandy beach with natural swimming holes, plus a seasonal pool," notes a visitor to Indian Springs, making it ideal for families who want water activities without leaving the campground.
Tips from RVers
Self-service convenience: RV Self-Park offers a streamlined experience for overnight stays. "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," shares a traveler who appreciated the convenience.
Check water pressure considerations: Some RV parks in the area have strong water pressure. "Very small, quaint, quiet 8 site campground located on a hay farm. $30 overnight w/ full hookups," notes a visitor to Haven Hollow who appreciated the value and simplicity.
Site selection for larger rigs: Evaluate access before booking for big rigs. "The sites support about a 40' rig with some able to support up to 42' max. When you make your reservation they will confirm the length of your rig and put you in the appropriate site as there's a small berm behind the sites that allow you to back further in on some sites than others," advises a Haven Hollow guest with a 39' fifth wheel.
