Best RV Parks & Resorts near Luray, MO

Several RV parks surround Luray, Missouri with varied amenities and access options. Crossroads RV Park in Mount Pleasant offers full hookups including 50-amp service, big-rig friendly sites, and year-round availability. Updog RV & Camping, also in Mt Pleasant, provides similar large-site accommodation with seasonal operation from April through mid-November. Driftwood Campground & RV Park in Quincy features 51 concrete pull-through sites with water, sewer and both 30/50-amp electrical connections on level pads. Boulder Lake Campground at Wakonda State Park provides electric hookups and dump station access but lacks sewer hookups at individual sites. "Our site was a concrete pull-through with more than enough parking for my travel trailer and truck with grass on either side," noted one camper about their experience at Camp Nauvoo.

Access conditions vary significantly between parks in the region. Several campgrounds report narrow interior roads that may challenge larger motorhomes during turns or backing maneuvers. Most RV parks require reservations during peak summer months and holiday weekends. Cell service quality fluctuates throughout the area—AT&T coverage generally rates better than Verizon according to camper reports, with speeds ranging from 9-56 Mbps in reviews. Dump stations are available at most parks, though campers staying at electric-only sites should confirm dump station hours before arrival. Winter camping options remain limited, with only Crossroads RV Park maintaining full year-round operation while others close between November and April. Pet policies generally permit dogs with typical leash requirements, but Camp Nauvoo prohibits pets entirely.

    Camp Nauvoo

    Great value, nice campground

    Camp Nauvoo is a nice, church operated, park only 5 minutes from downtown Nauvoo. We stayed one night on our way to Minnesota. The sites are sunny and all are pull-through.but some have shade. The park streets are gravel with concrete pull-through sites. The park is very quiet. Great value for $32. Full hookups. 

    Stayed in campsite#10 which has no shade. It was a concrete pull-through with more than enough parking for my TT and truck and grass on either side. The site included: picnic table. Utilities were located in different spots. 20A/30A/50A electric in the middle, water near the rear, and sewer near the front. Site was level. No neighbor on passenger/awning side. 

    AT&T had 3 bars of LTE and Verizon 1 bar of LTE service. AT&T Speedtest: 56.8 Mbps down, 9.3 Mbps up. Free WiFi available, but I had trouble connecting. 

    If you are southbound on Illinois Hwy 96, the left turn off the highway is very sharp and steep. Might be easier to continue about a mile south and use the scenic turnout to turnaround. It is a pull-through turnout. Then, turn off the highway on the right.

    Would stay here again. We camped at Camp Nauvoo in a Travel Trailer.

    Carthage City Park

    Accessible, shady, and near sights to see

    While they were working on adding a bath house with toilets the campground is at the local golf course to use. 30 amp and water only. Gravel pads, mostly level. Shade and quiet in pm. During day you have golfers but not enough to bother you. A pavilion is available for use. Good area close to stores, fuel and off-site dump station.

    Wakonda Lake Campground — Wakonda State Park

    Convenient stop

    Looking for an overnight stay on a long road trip. Park is close to highway, fairly empty on a Monday night. Easy pull through site close to lake. Quiet. Bathhouse nothing fancy, could have been cleaner. Easy access to dump station. Staff very friendly.

    Wildcat Springs Park

    Wildcat Creek Campground, Hamilton , Illinois

    Wildcat is a very nice campground operated by the City of Hamilton, Illinois. Campground has only 17 RV slots of various sizes. We had room to put our 32 foot fifth wheel and room to park our truck alongside. Ours was one of a couple of sites large enough to handle our size.

    Their website says the nightly fee is $15 for tents and $25 fir RV. When we arrived we were informed that it had gone up to $20 fir tent and $30 for RV.

    Service excludes electricity of 30 and 50 amp. Water is also available at each site. A dump station is on site.

    Also on site is a very nice public pool and interesting Disc Golf course.

    Very quite and peaceful surroundings. Just a half mile off of the Mississippi River.

    We will definitely return here when we get back to the area.

    Hickory Haven Campground

    Pretty, wooded campground

    Needed an overnight spot on our way north, off season for camping in this area.  Called mid afternoon for availability and spoke with John who promptly told us he would hold a site for us. Large campground that has a few full hookup sites open year around. We were given a site between a couple of traveling workers. Both came out to greet us which was very nice. Site was a bit small but certainly ok for a night's stay. Many larger sites farther back in the closed area. Full hook-ups. Level gravel. Picnic table available. Laundry and restrooms very clean. Playground, pavilion for movies, dog area, frog pond, hiking trails and beautiful woods. A few camping supplies available in the office. This would be a fun getaway for families in the summer months.

    Updog RV & Camping

    TERRIBLE

    Worst place I have stayed in my 6 years of traveling as an RN. Yes, they had shade.  Made cell service very hard to receive. ONLY other thing they has was geese and fishing.  No picnic table, no firepits. I had a 30amp space. With slide out on each side, and not superslides either, I had EXACTLY 1 foot left on each side of my slides. I could not put out my awning as it would hit the camper next to me. No zero space behind camper as it went to a steep slope from my spare wheel. If I walked behind camper, I had to hang on to spare wheel or fall down the slope. Barely enough room in from of camper to park pickup at an angle.  I have never seen anything like this place before.  And hope I never do.  Pictures you see of campground are SO VERY MUCH deceiving !!!!!. I rate it a one star only because it will not allow me to go any lower.
