      Sundermeier RV Park

      My favorite spot in all of St. Louis! The lady who is the owner and the front desk attendant are wonderful and I have never had a problem here with anything! Free WiFi, laundry, and a public shower and bathroom if needed! There’s also cool walking/biking trails and a park with a children’s playground as well! The gas station is also walking distance for any small necessities

      Meramec State Park Campground

      It appears to be a typical state park. There are lots of old trees. Sites are pretty close together but it is late October so it is not crowded. Each spot has a level gravel spot, electrical hook up (some are 50 and others 30 and ours had a 110 plug in which is what we needed, as well as a picnic table, and a fire pit. There are both pit toilets and a large building that has flush toilets and showers. Everything is old and would benefit from a refresh but it was all clean enough for camping.

      Riverside Landing

      My favorite RV spot in St. Charles. It’s pretty quiet minus the cool boats and train but other than that it’s peaceful…also love the price!

      Cuivre River State Park Campground

      Ugh

      This is one of the worst state parks I’ve ever visited. The sites are small no water or electricity. Takes 15 minutes from civilization to get there.

      Riverside Landing

      September car camping

      Came to Riverside landing on a Tuesday-Thursday for car camping and there was only a few other RVs and one other tent camper. Reserved a spot right on the river, very scenic and quiet. Right by some train tracks so trains do run by, but that was the only loud noise! No restrooms here so bring your own amenities if you aren’t in an RV

    Guide to Fenton

    Camping near Fenton, Missouri provides access to the Ozark foothills with elevations ranging from 450-700 feet above sea level. The region experiences hot summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F in July and August, while spring and fall offer milder conditions with occasional severe thunderstorms. Most campsites in the area feature gravel pads with varying levels of shade coverage depending on location.

    What to do

    Trail access from camp: At Beyond the Trail RV Park, campers can easily access the Katy Trail directly from the property. "The Katy trail borders the park for easy access to town. Beautiful views across a large farm field to the hills beyond with incredible sunsets," notes Sam C. The trail provides miles of flat, scenic biking or walking opportunities.

    Archery practice: St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park offers an archery range on-site for campers looking to practice their skills. "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," mentions Annie C. The archery range provides a structured activity option without leaving the park.

    Mountain biking trails: Technical mountain biking sections are available at Klondike Park, making it ideal for cyclists. "Klondike park is a gorgeous park along the Katy Trail in Augusta, MO. The campsites are very quiet, very family friendly park. On site restrooms, hiking trails, and a small lake with overlooking bluffs," writes Lindsey R. The park combines camping with dedicated biking terrain.

    What campers like

    Small lake fishing: Klondike Park features a fishing pond adjacent to the campground. "Great fishing pond by the campground. Pay the extra $3 for a basic site- they have really nice covered picnic tables," suggests Annie C. The pond offers convenient fishing access without traveling far from your site.

    Brewery and winery proximity: Beyond the Trail RV Park provides walking access to local establishments. "Just on the other side of the trail is a great brewery with a fantastic patio and rooftop deck. We walked there a few times to enjoy pizza," shares Jamie C. The campground's location allows campers to enjoy local beverages without driving.

    Historic downtown access: Sundermeier RV Park offers easy access to St. Charles historic district. "You can literally be parked right at the Katy Trail. Through the gate at the rear of the campground, and you can bike for miles. Easy ride in to St. Charles a wonderful historic river town on the Missouri River. Great shops, great restaurants," writes Cheryl K. The proximity to local culture enhances the camping experience.

    What you should know

    Seasonal flooding concerns: Many campgrounds in the area experience flooding issues. "While we were there they had a record rainfall amount and the park apparently already has flooding issues so it was flooding pretty bad," reports Charlie & Danielle B. about Covered Bridge RV Park. Check weather forecasts during spring and early summer.

    Train and airport noise: Some campgrounds have noise from transportation. "Positives: Really nice people at check in. It does have 30 amp service even though this app shows it doesn't. 30 pound water pressure. Nice level concrete pad with a picnic table. On Lambert international airports flight path, next to a major train trestle, right next to Highway 370," notes Jack G. about Sundermeier RV Park.

    Urban vs. wooded options: Campgrounds range from urban to more secluded settings. "For those who need to get out of town yet can't imagine not checking the latest tweet, Tik Tok, or Instagram post, this park is for you. Not 2 miles from Six Flags, and 5 minutes from the freeway, you'll find plenty of beauty, creature comfort amenities, and cell service," explains Lucas M. about Greensfelder County Park. Choose based on your preference for convenience or seclusion.

    Tips for camping with families

    Free recreation center access: Long-term campers at St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park may receive bonus amenities. "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)," shares Annie C. This provides swimming and indoor recreation options.

    Kid-friendly activities: Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park offers dedicated children's programming. "We stayed here last minute for Labor Day Weekend and the staff were great with finding us a good tent site available. This is not a rugged style campground as there are many amenities such as a pool, putt putt golf, volleyball, and more. They also host daily kids activities and crafts," reports Lindsey R. These structured activities keep children engaged.

    Dog-friendly trails: Several dog friendly campgrounds near Fenton offer trail access for pets. "Klondike park is a gorgeous park along the Katy Trail in Augusta, MO. The campsites are very quiet, very family friendly park. On site restrooms, hiking trails, and a small lake with overlooking bluffs," explains Lindsey R. Dogs can exercise on these trails while families enjoy the scenery.

    Tips from RVers

    Electrical safety awareness: Check power connections at older campgrounds. "My equipment detected a Line/Neutral Reversal on some 30A receptacles; the 50A receptacles appeared to be wired correctly. When I reported this life-safety hazard, the staffer's response was, 'Don't use your surge protector—they're not compatible with our system,'" warns Jeff C. about Sundermeier RV Park. Bring a surge protector with an EMS system.

    Site size considerations: Choose sites based on your RV dimensions at Covered Bridge RV Park. "Pros: -Most sites are great for trailers 26' or less and 1 slide (sites 24-26 can fit a fifth wheel probably no bigger than 36-38 ft) -2-20 amp plugs and 1-30amp plug -Not to many trees hanging over your camper that would drop branches," advises Matthew H. This prevents accessibility issues upon arrival.

    Varying hookup configurations: Be prepared for unusual utility 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," notes Josh F. about Casino Queen RV Park. Bring extension cords and longer hoses when camping at pet-friendly RV parks near Fenton.
