Historic Route 66 exploration: Positioned along the iconic highway, Camp Mi Casa on the Route RV Park serves as a convenient base for Route 66 enthusiasts. A reviewer appreciated this aspect: "Near enough to town to enjoy the museum and pop in for lunch, far enough away to feel detached. There's also an old Drive in movie next door!"
What campers like
Pet-friendly environments: Many campgrounds welcome pets and some offer designated pet areas. At Big Red Barn RV Park, a camper appreciated that "They have an off-leash dog park area which our dogs loved and used it 3-4 times the nite we were there."
Shaded sites: Several campgrounds provide tree cover, valued during hot summer months. At Zans Creekside RV Park, a visitor enjoyed their "Nice Shady spot overlooking the river. My spot was shaded by black walnut trees. With the sound of the river in the background. Totally relaxing."

The pull-through sites are great for our 40' home, and level enough that it required about 2 minutes to setup."
What you should know
Train noise: Several campgrounds near Webb City are located close to active train tracks. Neosho City Campground has "an active train track nearby which produces some noise every once in a while, as does the main road between the camp area and the park."
Tent camping limitations: Some RV parks restrict tent camping entirely. At Neosho City Campground, a frustrated camper discovered "No tents Allowed. I think it's stupid what campground says no tents?!" Another reviewer explained: "Site use to allow tents, but does not now, most likely due to the fact that their are no restroom facilities at this campground."

Tips from RVers
Level sites: Many RVers appreciate campgrounds with minimal setup requirements. A Coachlight Campground visitor noted their site was "level enough that it required about 2 minutes to setup."
Registration timing: Some municipal campgrounds have limited office hours. For Neosho City Campground, a reviewer warned: "You need to go to city hall to pay your camping fee as the campground does not have a place to self register, so if you plan on staying here you will need to get to city hall before they close for the day, and they are only open from Monday - Friday."
Pull-through availability: Pull-through sites are coveted by larger rigs. At Ballard's Campground, however, reservation policies may affect availability: "After reviewing the camp map, I found C1 shown as a pull thru site available for the week we would be staying... Until 2 days before we are set to show up, I get an email and we have been moved to a back in site."
