ScoutMy 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
GuideIt 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.
ScoutMy 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!
GuideYes, the road was a bit bumpy, but worth navigating if you can claim a spot. I scored what I would argue is the second best spot - right on the creek just feet from the flowing water. The spot to the right appeared larger and had a rope for the kids (and cool adults) to utilize for launching into the water. The family occupying this space was in ear shot, but I had total privacy aside from a couple groups checking out the the water during the day. The creek had super cool rocks and the water was perfect for casual wading, but too low to swim in the area I was in. No amenities nearby, so pack in and pack out. I did not have any Verizon coverage, so it was two full days of off-the-grid bliss. I would’ve stayed here a a few more days if I had prepared.
ScoutNice and easy. Good spacing between sites
GuideQuiet like the night. Clean well groomed spaces are about average size. Off season sure is nice.
ScoutThis 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.
TravelerTrails in the area re nice but facilities for this many sites are limited. Sites are close to each other.
TravelerCame 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
Camping areas near Glencoe, Missouri sit within the rolling Ozark foothills at elevations between 500-700 feet. The region experiences four distinct seasons with humid summers and mild winters, making spring and fall the most comfortable for tent camping. Most campgrounds in this area are within a 20-minute drive of Glencoe and offer varying levels of shade and terrain depending on their proximity to the Meramec River watershed.
Kayaking access points: The Meramec River provides multiple put-in locations near Robertsville State Park. "The camp sites are very quiet, very family friendly park. On site restrooms, hiking trails, and a small lake with overlooking bluffs," notes Lindsey R., who found the riverfront setting perfect for paddling.
Winery tours: Augusta wine country sits minutes from Klondike Park, offering day trips to local vineyards. "This Campground places you in the heart of Missouri Wine Country and there's a perfect base for visiting the wineries and restaurants along highway 94," according to Marty C., who used the park as a base for wine tasting.
Katy Trail biking: The 240-mile Katy Trail passes directly through several campgrounds in the region. "I have bike-packed along the Katy and this is an excellent spot for an overnight(s) stay. It is a tough, but short, climb from the trail," explains Mike L. about accessing camping from the popular rail-trail.
Fishing opportunities: Several parks feature stocked ponds with accessible shorelines. "Great fishing pond by the campground," mentions Annie C. about the fishing at Robertsville State Park, where catfish and bass can be caught without a boat.
Secluded sites: Away from highway noise, certain areas offer privacy despite being close to St. Louis. "Sites like #19 and 20 were more secluded, offered more trees and privacy," notes Shawn M. at St. Charles County Klondike Park, highlighting the variation in site privacy.
Clean facilities: Many reviewers mention well-maintained bathhouses as a highlight. "Shower house was disappointingly dirty for as new as it was, but it was a busy holiday weekend," explains Annie C., suggesting that facilities are generally well-kept outside peak periods.
Wildlife viewing: The confluence of forest and river environments creates habitat for diverse wildlife. "You can see all kinds of wildlife in and around the lake- deer, bald eagles, pelicans, ducks, snakes," observes Annie C. about the ecosystem diversity at lakeside campgrounds.
Pet-friendly camping flexibility: Most campgrounds welcome pets with reasonable restrictions. "Did a 2 night tent camp with my family and it was awesome. We had a great time on the trails and near the Mighty Missouri River," says Greg E. about his family's experience with pets at Klondike Park.
Seasonal closures: Some campgrounds reduce services during winter. "We stayed here last minute for Labor Day Weekend and the staff were great with finding us a good tent site available," explains Lindsey R. at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Resort At Six Flags, which operates primarily April through October.
Flooding concerns: Low-lying areas experience seasonal flooding, particularly in spring. "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," mentions Lucas M., who noted that Greensfelder had flood damage the previous year.
Reservation requirements: Many campgrounds fill quickly, especially weekend dates. "Reservations are required and the sites are in high demand. Tent camping only. There is water available in the park," points out Marty C. about St. Charles County Klondike Park's popularity.
Highway noise variance: Proximity to Interstate 44 affects some campgrounds more than others. "I did not settle well, and the night was a bit odd. Keep in mind that I was here alone and during the middle of the week so, chances are, during the weekend you might not have the same experience," explains Lucas M. about the ambient noise at some sites.
Playground proximity: Select sites near recreational facilities for convenience with children. "Kids had a blast riding bikes. Even finding a few little frogs jumping around and fireflies at night," says Joseph F. about his family's experience at St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park, which features multiple play areas.
Seasonal activities calendar: Many parks offer structured family programming certain weekends. "This is a nice little park on the Meramec River with about 25 campsites split fairly evenly between tent and electric hook up in a long loop," mentions Annie C., who recommends checking event calendars when planning visits.
Water safety considerations: Lakes and rivers require supervision for young campers. "There is a sandy beach area surrounding the water, making it a great place either lay in the sun or to go fishing," notes Alisha M. about the family-friendly water access at Klondike Park.
Raccoon awareness: Food storage precautions are essential with children. "Make sure to store your food securely overnight - the racoons are pretty thick and hungry at night," warns Mike L., who encountered persistent wildlife while camping at St. Charles County Klondike Park.
Site leveling challenges: Uneven terrain may require extra equipment at certain parks. "This is a nice quiet campground but the lots are pretty uneven so make sure you bring plenty of cribbing," advises Montt B. about Robertsville State Park Campground, where the natural topography creates sloping sites.
Power availability variations: Amp service differs significantly between parks. "Only sites 20-29 have electric and 28 can't be reserved," details Matthew H., who discovered specific power limitations at Greensfelder County Park during his visit.
Water hookup distances: Some sites require lengthy hoses to reach water connections. "Our water hook up and electric hookup was significantly far apart," notes GW C., suggesting RVers come prepared with extension equipment.
Dump station locations: Not all campgrounds offer on-site dump facilities. "No dump but KOA and RV dealer 5-7 mins away," mentions Matthew H., highlighting the importance of planning waste disposal when camping near Glencoe with larger rigs.
