Best RV Parks & Resorts near Kearney, MO

Several RV parks near Kearney provide full hookup options for motorhomes and travel trailers. Basswood Country RV Resort offers big-rig friendly sites with 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections, operating seasonally. Campus RV Park in Independence features pull-through sites with electric hookups and water, though the gravel pads require careful positioning. "Many back-in sites with 4 pull-through sites. We stayed in pull-through site #3. Lots to view! Only issue was trains blowing their horns during the night," noted one visitor about Campus RV Park. Owl Creek Market and RV Park in Odessa maintains level concrete slabs with both 30 and 50-amp service, while Worlds of Fun Village provides full hookup RV sites with 50-amp service from March through October.

Full-service RV parks in the region typically include sanitary dump stations, though some parks like Stadium RV Park lack this amenity. Cell service varies across locations, with most parks reporting adequate coverage for both Verizon and AT&T networks. Pet owners will find designated dog areas at several facilities, including Walnut Grove RV Park which offers a small dog park. Seasonal availability differs significantly between parks—some operate year-round while others close during winter months. One camper shared that Owl Creek Market "has a nice market with great variety" and "immaculate pull-thru, roomy sites." Propane services are limited, with only select locations offering on-site refills. Most RV parks in the area require reservations during peak travel seasons, particularly for weekend stays near Kansas City attractions.

    Walnut Grove RV Park

    Very cute and nice place

    Great place for a somewhat long stay. Staff are very nice and sweet, there’s free WiFi, lots of pull through spots, has a dump station and allows pets. Overall very family friendly.

    Walnut Grove RV Park

    Close to downtown Merriam and KC

    My husbands job took us to Merriam Kansas and we needed a place to stay, we made reservations at Walnut Grove. We were surprised to find it in the middle of a neighborhood. The staff were very nice and helped us into our site. The sites were on gravel and very close to each other. Walnut Grove was both short and long term campers. There were no tent sites. We had full hook-ups, cell service, and free wifi. We had a picnic table and fire ring and could purchase firewood at their store.

    During our stay I was awakened to a startling noise and couldn't figure it out until I went outside and saw the walnuts falling onto our camper. By the time we left, everything was covered(stained) tarnish brown. The park is in a walnut grove hence its name. They had a dog run which was not fenced but provided some grass for the pups. They had a laundry mat and clean showers with good water pressure. There also was a strange noise coming from the trees and when I asked the office what it was they thought it was locusts. I knew that was not their noise so I had to find what it was. After searching, I found that it was tree frogs 🐸 and it was their call. So if you are there in September listen and you will hear them, they love the walnut trees.

    Weston Bend State Park Campground

    Quiet campground close to many Kansas City attractions

    Campground is hilly, sites are level, gravel pads. Lots of space between sites. Electric sites, no water, but water spigots were scattered around the campground. Majority of sites had shade. Most sites are back in, there are 2 pull through sites and 2 family sites. Firewood is available for sale on the honor system near the camp host. Nice shower facilities and laundry available (one washer, one dryer). Regular trash dumpster and also recycling. Pit toilets also available. Dump station across from dumpsters and recycling. Entrance gate closes at 9 pm.

    Peculiar Park Place

    Shakedown with old friends

    This is the campground to be at if you are looking for a staging area just south of the KC area with full hookups, level sites and amazing owners.

    Recently downsized our rig and selected this location for the initial shakedown. Had an easy to access pull through site that had 50/30 amp access, water and sewer. Nice landscaping, plenty of place to walk.

    Accepts cask or check for payments, propane sold on site. Short drive from Flying J and grocery store

    Peculiar Park Place

    Great place!

    We enjoyed it here, but it snowed so we didn’t explore the trails while we were there. Our internet worked great through Verizon and ATT, we never tried the park WiFi. Clean laundry facilities, pull through site was a little tight, but worked well. If we’re in the KC area again, we’ll definitely stay there. Only drawback, the target audience is a bit older so no playground or park for kids, but plenty of open grassy areas worked too. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. They do propane refill, which was awesome.

    Weston Bend State Park Campground

    Enjoyable Stay

    Getting to the state park off I 29 and through the countryside was easy as the route had Weston Bend SP signage. We followed the SP signs to the campground(CG) where the gate was not manned so we headed to get water, but someone was sitting in the dump station waiting for another person to arrive so we went around this one-loop CG to see if there was a convenient spigot. There are spigots but with a larger rig, you will block the road, and/or you will be on a hill. We went back around and the person moved so we could get water. After that, we headed to pull through site 28 with electric(50/30/20 AMP) only. The site is long but has a 1/4 moon turn so we had to pull back around to get better positioned on the pad so we could disconnect our 39’ 5th wheel and F450 for our 3-night stay. There were tree branches overhead that we could not avoid. RVers next to us in site 30 had just arrived as well and were having trouble getting their travel trailer unhitched and leveled due to the pad’s slight incline and unlevel asphalt. They got their trailer positioned so they could get somewhat level. We got a solid two bars on both Verizon and T-Mobile. Due to our proximity to Kansas City, we got a lot of OTA channels. A satellite connection would be iffy in most sites here due to the number of mature trees. The trees in a lot of sites would also scrape the top of larger rigs. There’s a variety of sites with most being good for regular trailers versus tall rigs, and tent sites. They have a nice shower house with 1 washer and 1 dryer both for$1.50. There are also vaulted toilets here and there. There’s a 1.7-acre fenced dog park that includes one large area for large dogs and two other areas with one dedicated to smaller dogs. The dog area is at the front park entrance away from the campground and it would be a long walk to get there, so we drove up. There are a lot of hiking trails here plus an old tobacco barn that’s worth a look.

    Basswood Country RV Resort

    Clean But Dated With Lots of Long Term Renters

    We visited Basswood Country RV Resort in October 2020. All in all our experience was a positive one, but prospective visitors should know that there is a large section of long term renters that you must drive through to get to the short term sites. This gave the impression that this was less a vacation park and more of a trailer park. The facilities were clean, but older. The site we stayed in was large and level.

    The Great Escape RV and Camp Resort

    Ok, not great

    Stopped here for an overnight on our way home to Georgia from Yellowstone. It’s ok for a 1-night stop. I wouldn’t stay more. The sites are level, with long pull-throughs, with full hookups. But there is no shade. Also no store. There is a grill/bar that serves dinner, drinks and appetizers. Pool, playground, dog park, stocked fishing pond, laundry. Bathroom/shower facilities were ok. Several text sites did have shade.


Guide to Kearney

RV parks near Kearney, Missouri provide diverse camping options between Kansas City and northern Missouri. Located in Clay County at about 900 feet elevation, this area experiences four distinct seasons with humid summers and moderate winters. Most campgrounds remain open year-round, though some seasonal closures occur between November and March.

What to do

Amusement park access: Worlds of Fun Village offers convenient camping adjacent to Kansas City's largest theme park. "The theme park offered discounted tickets when staying at the campground and parking for the parks was included. Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun are internally connected, making it easy to walk between the two," notes John L. who stayed at Worlds of Fun Village.

Swimming options: Several campgrounds feature swimming facilities for days when you're not exploring area attractions. "The camp ground pool is huge and fun for the kids on non park days. The campground is all paved and perfect for scooters and bikes for the kids," shares Jennifer H. about her family's experience at Worlds of Fun Village.

Fishing opportunities: Basswood Country RV Resort maintains multiple fishing ponds that don't require a state license. "You could fish in the lakes and didn't even need a license. We watched kids get excited as they caught fish after fish," notes Shannon G. The resort was once a favorite fishing spot of President Harry S. Truman.

What campers like

Clean facilities: Campgrounds in the Kearney area generally maintain well-kept bathroom and shower facilities. "Bathrooms were top-notch. Every campground should have the same set up. Handicap accessible, all in one in same room. So great if you have kids or someone with a disability," writes Mary D. about A Country Charm RV Park.

Historical connections: Independence offers numerous historical sites within minutes of camping areas. "Independence has some cool stuff to check out and has a very midwestern, small-town feel to it, even though it is basically a suburb of the greater Kansas City area. There is a lot of charm and some interesting architecture in the immediate area. The Truman Library, the Community of Christ Church, the downtown theater and court house are all interesting and worth a look," explains Shari G. who stayed at Campus RV Park.

Water quality: Some RV parks in the region boast exceptional water quality. "First off, the water in Independence MO top 10 in the world over time, and in #3 currently," notes Kevin H. about Campus RV Park, highlighting an often overlooked amenity for campers.

What you should know

Highway noise: Several RV parks near major roads experience traffic noise. "The sites were very small and close. Our site was not very level. Hookups were fine and worked well. It appeared that most of the occupants were full time. I would only stay here for a night as there appeared to be little nearby except the Stadium and the park was not very attractive," shares Charles F. about his experience at Stadium RV Park.

Train activity: Multiple campgrounds experience railroad noise at night. "Only issue was trains blowing their horns during the night," notes a visitor about Campus RV Park, while another camper mentions: "Nice campground and great staff. Trains nearby can be load with their horns but it's close to airport which was necessity for me."

Security considerations: Some parks have limited security features. "Security was disappointing, as there was no gate to the campground, nor a gate around it. So our campsite (site 2) that backed up to the road was 10 feet off the public sidewalk. Reviews of this campsite on other websites mentioned some petty theft, so we kept our outdoor compartments locked," advises John L. about Worlds of Fun Village.

Tips for camping with families

Pool amenities: When traveling with children during summer months, look for parks with swimming facilities. "There is a pool, hot tub, laundry and clean bathrooms with showers. The campground did attempt to improve privacy with strategically placed trees and shrubs," notes a visitor to Worlds of Fun Village.

Recreational activities: Walnut Grove RV Park offers pet-friendly amenities for families traveling with dogs. "They had a small dog run which was not fenced but provided some grass for the pups," shares a camper, noting the park's consideration for four-legged family members.

Safety considerations: Some parks are located in areas that may require extra awareness. "On the way in the neighborhood itself did not seem very likely to hold an RV park this close to urban areas. But the place is nice, has Laundry, Showers etc. No campfire pit, and our spot was a tight fit, but seems nice," writes Luna L. about Campus RV Park.

Tips from RVers

Off-season advantages: Visit during shoulder seasons for quieter stays and better availability. "Stopped here on our way south for spring break. The amusement park was not open yet, so the campground area was relatively quiet and the price for full hookups was not bad. Nice shower/bathroom building too. I imagine it's very different on a busy weekend when the park is open," advises Deb M. about Owl Creek Market and RV Park.

Site selection: Choose sites strategically based on location within parks. "Row 1 (sites 1-20) is along a busy highway with semi truck noise 24 hours a day. I recommend either paying more for the pull-through (further from the road) or the back in sites 69-82 in row 3," suggests John L. about positioning at Worlds of Fun Village.

Local amenities: Many RV parks near Kearney provide on-site convenience stores with regional specialties. "Great camp store with selections of sausage and cheese. Also, small selection of wine," notes Kirk H. about Owl Creek Market and RV Park.
