Rustic cabins dominate the offerings near Hermann, though amenity levels vary significantly between locations. Meramec State Park Campground provides basic cabin accommodations with essential furnishings, while Meramec Caverns Natural Campground offers more primitive cabin options. Most locations allow pets in cabins for an additional fee, though specific pet policies differ between campgrounds.

Kitchen facilities range from basic countertops with mini-refrigerators to fully equipped kitchens with stovetops and microwaves. Hickory Ridge Campground and Ozark Outdoors-Riverfront Resort both feature cabins with modest kitchen setups. On-site markets at several locations offer basic provisions, though selection is limited.

    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.

    Cuivre River State Park Campground

    Natural, well maintained

    Nice campground with tent areas and RV area well separated. Fire rings with attached rebar grills on a bricked square. Picnic table and lantern post. Small playground near the check in station/camp store. The store is small but will have what you need. The showers were adequate with the requisite daddy long legs. There were a fair amount of ticks so spray your gear with permethrin. Many of the sites were pretty small - we had a hard time seeing where a tent would fit, usually the answer was on the side of the road. Also, many were close together with little privacy. We stayed on site 53. Which I definitely recommend. Plenty of space for the tent (on a bit of a slant with tree roots, but doable, especially with air mattresses), great privacy on one side, decentprivacy on the other, and a lovely view of the woods at the back.

    Meramec Caverns Natural Campground

    Jesse James hideout camping

    This is a private campground run by Meramec Caverns. The campground is large and shaded, right on the river. There are hook up sites and tent sites. My advice is to try and get a spot all the way to the left of the entrance. These sites seem quieter and more spread out. The down side is that they are pretty far from the shower house and bathrooms. Most of this sites (but not all) have picnic tables, grills and fire pits. There are a few really nice sites right on the river. There is a restaurant, general store, canoe rental, zip line (it goes across the Meramec River, not sure how you get back!), and of course the caverns. The cave tour is a bit hokey, but if you can look past the mannequins and silliness, the caves themselves are really spectacular. You can definitely see why Jesse and Frank James used this as a hideout.

    Meramec Caverns Natural Campground

    Great Place to camp and enjoy!

    This was our first trip in our camper and a first camp at Meramec Caverns.

    The staff is friendly and helpful. Security patrols around the clock and doesn't put up with any ridiculousness.

    Campsites available on pavement, gravel for campers and RVs and grass for tents. Our site had 30/50 amp service and water on a gravel site facing the Meramec River. It waa a beautiful view!

    Shower house and restroom facilities are clean and maintained.

    A dump station is located just outsIde the main gate of the campgrounds.

    Because of the location, there is no wifi and we had no cell service for the majority of our stay. Once in a while it would get a signal but it was very brief.

    Campsites are separated from the Meramec Caverns tourist attractions so there is not constant traffic coming through the campsite.

    Most campsites had a stone fire ring, bbq grill, and picnic table.

    The cave tour, zipline, boat ride, canoe and float trips and motel are all within short walking distance from the campgrounds.

    The campground store has ice, firewood and basics available. The gift shop at the cave has typical tourist items available. The restaurant is more of a snack bar and not a full service restaurant, so don't rely on it for your meals during your stay!

    The cave tour is interesting and informative and on a hot day the 60 degree temp of the cave is the perfect place to hang out for a while!

    Overall, a very nice place to camp and enjoy the outdoors without being too far from home.

    We will definitely be back for another stay!

    St. Charles County Klondike Park

    Fantastic Camping Just Off The Katy Trail

    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. You may have to walk up the hill - challenge made :-) . This is a St. Charles County Park and it is well maintained. They also have small cabins though pretty basic. Make sure to store your food securely overnight - the racoons are pretty thick and hungry at night. I have also done short bike-packing trips from Chesterfield and St. Charles for an overnight(s) stay. If you need it, grab food in Augusta or Defiance before arriving. There are no services in the park.

    Meramec Caverns Natural Campground

    Cool destination with a great campground

    The real attraction here is the caverns themselves, plus the zip lining, river floating, and whatever other activities are on offer. But, the campground is not half bad! It's a large grassy area with plenty of trees (though no shrubbery or other privacy screens). There are no numbered campsites. Vehicles can be parked and tents pitched anywhere on the grass. My campsite, located in the far southwest corner, was one of a few with a fire pit, small paved picnic shelter, and picnic table. I was very happy to have the shelter, as there was a thunderstorm the morning of my visit.

    There is a centrally-located camp store here. Their prices were reasonable when I visited. The bathrooms are located nearby, but these were quite run down, crowded, and dirty. I recommend seeking out the bathrooms at the visitor center. These seemed to be open 24/7 and were much, much nicer (and empty in the morning and evening).

    Speaking of the visitor center, their food was surprisingly good. I had dinner and breakfast there, and was glad I did. They also had serviceable public WiFi that I used to catch up on Internet stuff while I waited for the rain to let up.

    Hickory Ridge Campground

    Nice Campground, Convenient Location

    We stayed only one night here while passing through. Campground’s new owner is very kind and friendly. He escorted us to our site which was tucked away under some nice trees.

    Though campground is close to interstate, noise was minimal (I think because of the trees).

    Pretty flowers throughout campground. Bathrooms with a shower and laundry room. Salt water pool, nice grassy area. Some sites had fire pits and picnic tables but not all.

    Would definitely stay here again.

    Daniel Boone Conservation Area

    Quiet and out of the way

    There are 10 or so primitive tent sites and an area that will accommodate about a dozen RV’s. There are no services here and no hook ups, but it’s free. The primitive tent sites are spread out along the main road through the conservation area, which means that in the daytime you will get road noise and dust, but its pretty quiet at night. Only a couple have picnic tables, but all seemed to have at least a level spot for the tent and a fire ring. I noticed some sites had a bit of trash in the fire rings, probably from day use or partiers. There is no trash service, so plan to pack out your trash. The best site (already taken, too bad) was set on the edge of the woods next to a fishing pond. The campers that were there let me take some pics of their site since it was so pretty. The only downside to that site was its proximity to the RV lot and their generators. There are some nice hiking trails here to explore.


Guide to Hermann

Daniel Boone Conservation Area offers cabin alternatives within 30 miles of Hermann, Missouri. The conservation area features primitive camping with no services or hookups, making it an ideal option for travelers seeking seclusion. Most cabins in the region are concentrated in campgrounds rather than in conservation areas, where tent and RV camping predominate.

What to do

Explore natural waterways: Daniel Boone Conservation Area provides access to fishing ponds and trails. "There's a little pond with wildlife like rabbits and frogs. You get there after about 5 miles on a well maintained, wide gravel road," notes one camper.

Cave exploration: Meramec State Park Campground offers guided tours of Fisher Cave. "Pay the extra for the caves tour! Down the road there's an old iron foundry and a historic cemetery to explore," advises a visitor who appreciated the historical aspects beyond just the natural features.

Ropes course activities: Ozark Outdoors-Riverfront Resort provides outdoor adventure options. "My family also enjoy the Floating Trees ropes course. It was supposed to be about 2 hours but the instructors let them go an extra 45 minutes without anyone feeling rushed," writes one satisfied guest.

What campers like

Multi-season accessibility: The Hermann area offers year-round cabin options for changing weather conditions. Meramec State Park Campground remains open throughout winter months, allowing for off-season exploration. "The campground is right on the edge of the river and you can get to the trails from your campsite," notes one visitor.

River access: Pin Oak RV Park serves as a convenient base for water activities. The campground's location makes it suitable for exploring nearby floating opportunities on the Meramec River. "There is a pond with some decent sized fish in it. A lot of the campground has good tree coverage," according to a camper.

Natural dark skies: Many cabins near Hermann benefit from minimal light pollution. "I stayed one night in the RV campsite. There was only one other camper. The grass had been mowed recently so the path around the pond was easily walkable," notes a Daniel Boone Conservation Area visitor who appreciated the peaceful setting.

What you should know

Reservation timing: St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park requires advance planning, particularly for extended stays. "We were checking out right before a weekend. Our site, previously not available that weekend, had opened up. The staff called to tell us that the site had opened up over the weekend and wanted to check with us before giving it to someone else," explains one visitor.

Road conditions: Access to many cabin areas requires navigating gravel roads that may challenge larger vehicles. "Gravel roads to the campsites are well maintained. You could easily get an RV or camper around the roads. The way I came was a little weird with some awkward turns that might be tricky for a less experienced operator," notes a Daniel Boone Conservation Area visitor.

Facility maintenance: Bathroom and shower conditions vary significantly between properties. At Hickory Ridge Campground, one visitor noted, "The bathhouses still need just a little work. One we used was small and the other stated they were working to improve it. But they were clean and in working order."

Tips for camping with families

Water activities: Cuivre River State Park Campground offers safe water recreation options. "This campground has a lake you can rent kayaks for. They have a small store at the check in booth. It also has an accessible fishing dock that is covered," writes one visitor who appreciated the facilities.

Wildlife viewing opportunities: Several cabin areas feature wildlife viewing possibilities that children enjoy. "We saw bunnies hopping around and when we first arrived to our site a deer was grazing nearby, such a bonus!" notes one Cuivre River visitor, highlighting unexpected nature encounters.

Spacing considerations: Some cabins offer more privacy than others, affecting family comfort. "The campground is clean and peaceful, if a bit sparse with little shade. The nicest spots are the ones by the lake, with only one neighbor and a better view," explains a St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park camper.

Tips from RVers

Hookup quality: Water pressure varies significantly between properties. At St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park, one RVer reported, "The site I was in had full hook ups. The water pressure was so strong that I could barely open the water pump!"

Leveling requirements: Some cabin and RV sites require significant leveling. "The RV spots were gravel, pull through, & full hookup. The grounds were scattered with old trucks and broken down cars," notes a Jonesburg Gardens Campground visitor, highlighting the importance of preparation.

Site location strategy: For larger RVs, site selection matters significantly. "My advice is to try and get a spot all the way to the left of the entrance. These sites seem quieter and more spread out," advises a Meramec Caverns Natural Campground visitor seeking optimal positioning.
