Best RV Parks & Resorts near Manchester, MO

Several RV parks within 30 miles of Manchester offer full hookup sites for recreational vehicles. St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park provides concrete pad sites with full hookups for $50 or gravel sites for $45, situated alongside a man-made lake. Sundermeier RV Park in St. Charles features double-wide concrete pads that accommodate large rigs with easy maneuverability on wide interior roads. Covered Bridge RV Park in Fenton offers spacious sites with full hookups despite its small overall size. Beyond the Trail RV Park includes both back-in and pull-through sites with full hookups. "The sites are very spacious! The wi-fi was surprisingly good enough that my wife and I could both work off of it and even stream shows on the Roku the whole week," noted one camper about Covered Bridge.

Most RV parks in the area remain open year-round, though seasonal considerations affect availability. Advance reservations are recommended during summer months when St. Louis attractions draw higher visitor numbers. Some campgrounds prohibit campfires due to local ordinances, particularly those closer to urban areas. Proximity to transportation infrastructure creates varied noise levels across the region's RV parks. A visitor remarked about Sundermeier: "It is near a highway, there is a railroad bridge right next to it, and it is under the airport flight path. The planes and trains stopped after about 10-11pm." RV parks with security features like gated access provide added peace of mind for travelers storing valuable equipment. Pet policies vary by location, with most parks allowing pets but enforcing leash requirements.

    Birch Creek RV Park

    Nice spot for quick stop

    This is a small RV park just off I-44 about 20 minutes from Meramec Caverns. It’s very close to the highway so there is lots of highway noise. Some sites are farther away so not so bad. There is easy access from I-44.

    30 & 50-Amp Electrical, Water & Sewer Hook-ups. Concrete pads. Bathroom/showers are clean. Pet friendly, coin laundry. Some pull thru sites. Adjacent to the Great American Flea Market on weekends if you like that stuff.

    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.

    St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park

    RV delight

    I wanted to escape the house and go camping while on the work from home order (Covid-19 happening at the time of this review), so I headed to a very local park and campground to pitch my tent. I've been to 370 Lakeside Park many times to walk around the huge lake and to hear concerts in the summer, but I had never camped there. Still haven't. I'll explain. 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. Since they opened the campground, most of their campers have been RV owners, and so it is really designed for the RV camper. There is a small primitive section for group tent camping, but the majority of the sites are full hookups for RVs. Some sites are pull through and some are back in. All have picnic tables and fire pits. 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. If you are lucky, you can get a site close to the water, but it means the walking trail is right next to your unit. Trade offs, I suppose. 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). One of the downsides to this location is that it is prone to flooding. It was out of commission for most of the summer of 2019 as the entire area was flooded. But the City of St Peters did a great job getting this place back to usable with new sod, a new bathhouse, and some general sprucing up. The lake is great to walk around, about a 3 mile walk or bike on a paved trail. You can see all kinds of wildlife in and around the lake- deer, bald eagles, pelicans, ducks, snakes. In the summers they have live music in the large pavilion, and you can rent kayaks and other small boats to take out on the lake as well as bikes to ride around on. The office told me that they have 24 hour on site security also. If I really wanted to tent camp, I could rent a section of the group camping area, but $30 seemed pricey for just me, and it was very soggy to boot. Or I  could rent an RV spot, but $45 was silly when I don' t need hookups.

    Draft Kings at Casino Queen RV Park

    Clean, Secure Overnight Park

    Very clean and secure overnight park just outside of STL. Phenomenal views of downtown and the arch, and fairly easy access to I-55/64/70. Facilities lacked some amenities (only vending machines, convenience store has shut down), but clean, paved, level sites with full hookups throughout.

    Cahokia RV Parque

    Great Campground!

    We had a great experience in the 4 nights we spent here. The grounds, pool, laundry, and bathrooms were all in excellent repair and clean. The park was quiet, but very family friendly. The spots are roomy enough, given that you’re situated less than 15 miles from downtown St. Louis. The picnic tables and fire rings are nice additions and the lots appear to be level (ours was.) We didn’t have any trouble backing our 38 ft travel trailer in either. Do NOT miss the BBQ place in the parking lot... fantastic food and a 10% discount for park customers.

    Pere Marquette State Park Campground

    Great Terrain for Illinois

    This park has great hiking for Illinois. The campground has 88 sites total1-85 are either 30 amp or 50 amp electric sites. These are the class A sites $20 a night, they also have about 15 Class C sites for tents with no electric for $8 a night. The campground is doing some upgrades as of October 2017 and probably will be adding more 50 amp, water and sewer to some sites. There is also intel that says they are adding more sites plus more tent camping sites.

    I camped in a motorhome and did not try to fight the crowd for the shower house. It is a busy campground, but I did visit in the summer busy season, so it may have less traffic in the fall. There are great hiking trails and the scenic drive to the park by the Mississippi and Illinois rivers is worth the trip alone.

    I will return here for hiking for sure! I had some good luck fishing in the river near here too.

    Nice close park to St. Louis

    Pet-friendly, full hookups, space for our larger rig and parking around for extra vehicle. Laundry and propane on site. Spaces were a little close together, but minutes from downtown St. Louis, and staff was friendly and accommodating. Also, fantastic restaurant right on site -- Sawmill BBQ!

    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!

    Greensfelder County Park

    Rvs and trailers

    Small campground ground ram by saint louis county parks. We were the only ones here. Heavy equestrian park, it’s not required (to have a horse) to stay here. A few piles of horses droppings but very well maintained. We stay about 30 feet to the right of the horse pin, and behind it where they dump the horse stuff really can’t smell anything. Only sites 20-29 have electric and 28 can’t be reserved. Pro -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 -site 29 where we stayed can fit a 40’ fifth wheel -a lot of room to back in -showers and restrooms year around -frost free water at both ends of the campground -usual fire pit, picnic table and grill -park campers on grass to be closer to one side or another of your site -sites are reservable

    Cons -no water at sites -no 50 amps -no dump but KOA and RV dealer 5-7 mins away

    -site 29 only have 2-20 amp plugs no 30 didn’t realized till we parked. Only this one doesn’t have 30 -horses traffic on Saturday eventually from what the ranger told me once Covid is better -most sites back up to main road(mostly light traffic and none at night)


Guide to Manchester

Camping options near Manchester, Missouri include both full-hookup facilities and basic tent camping sites. Located in St. Louis County, the area experiences hot summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F from June through August, and moderate winters with occasional snowfall. Proximity to the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers creates a humid climate with potential for periodic flooding at lower-elevation campgrounds.

What to do

Explore the Katy Trail: Beyond the Trail RV Park provides immediate access to Missouri's historic rail-trail. "The Katy trail borders the park for easy access to town. Beautiful views across a large farm field (soy beans when we were here) to the hills beyond with incredible sunsets," notes one camper at Beyond the Trail RV Park.

Visit historic St. Charles: Located 30 minutes from Manchester, this riverfront district offers shops and restaurants accessible from Sundermeier RV Park. "Easy ride in to St. Charles a wonderful historic river town on the Missouri River. Great shops, great restaurants," reports a visitor.

Water recreation: St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park offers paddleboats, kayaks and canoes for rent alongside a 4-mile lake trail. "We love going here and watching the sunsets. This is a great place to kayak and camp if you don't want to drive that far and live in the city," explains a local camper.

Wine tasting: The Defiance area contains multiple wineries near Beyond the Trail RV Park. "It is located in a sleepy little winery town. It is just a few minutes from the main part of town with multiple beautiful wineries within a few miles," shares a reviewer.

What campers like

Secure camping facilities: Safety features at urban campsites provide peace of mind. One camper at Casino Queen RV Park noted, "Security is proactive in patrols and are friendly and helpful. No frills but a great view of the arch."

Access to urban attractions: Campgrounds serve as convenient bases for city exploration. "Centrally located and across the bridge from downtown. They have a shuttle to the various tourist attractions, just ask the staff at the office for details," explains a visitor to Cahokia RV Parque.

Dining options: On-site restaurants enhance convenience at several campgrounds. "Our favorite part of this park is the onsite Sawmill BBQ restaurant. While we prepare most of our meals, we were so tired; we decided to give the joint a try and, wow, are we glad we did! Delicious food for a reasonable price," shares a Cahokia RV Parque guest.

Level concrete pads: Well-maintained sites accommodate large vehicles. A visitor to Sundermeier RV Park appreciated that "The sites were double-wide concrete. We were able to park next to our 5th wheel with enough room to not feel crowded while using the picnic bench. Also the site was level."

What you should know

Train noise affects some locations: Railroad proximity creates variable sound levels. A Sundermeier RV Park visitor observed, "It is near a highway, there is a railroad bridge right next to it, and it is under the airport flight path. The planes and trains stopped after about 10-11pm."

Flood risk during heavy rain: Low-lying areas near rivers can experience water issues. A camper at Beyond the Trail RV Park cautioned, "My only complaint is they have some drainage issues if it rains a lot. A few of the campsites will flood, not bad enough to get to your camper, but just enough to be annoying."

Utility placement variations: Hookup configurations differ across campgrounds. At Casino Queen RV Park, a visitor warned that "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."

Campfire restrictions: Local ordinances prohibit fires at some locations. A reviewer at Sundermeier RV Park stated, "No campfires. Very industrial around the park. Very urban environment."

Tips for camping with families

On-site recreation options: Some parks offer dedicated children's facilities. "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," shares a visitor to St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park.

Kid-friendly activities: Family-oriented amenities provide entertainment options. "There is a playground, pool and pond area to walk around. We were pleased with the cleanliness of the bathrooms and showers and had no major complaints," notes a Cahokia RV Parque guest.

Proximity to attractions: Location near family destinations enhances convenience. A visitor to St. Louis West / Historic Route 66 KOA mentioned it is "Basically across the street from Six Flags and so can be very convenient."

Fishing opportunities: Several parks offer catch-and-release fishing. "A nice private catch and release pond, an old little mini golf setup, a small (but adequate) swimming pool kept the kids busy," notes a Pin Oak RV Park camper.

Tips from RVers

Ideal stopover locations: Several parks accommodate easy highway access for one-night stays. A visitor to RV Self-Park appreciated that "You can get in and out really quick. Very well lit, very clean and very easy to get in and very secure with a ton of cameras."

Long-term stays available: Some rv parks near Manchester, Missouri offer extended accommodations. "Our 6 month stay was absolutely wonderful we had no issues whatsoever. The staff is great and the amenities were top notch," notes a long-term visitor to Pin Oak RV Park.

Site selection strategies: Choosing specific locations within parks enhances experience. "The sites are very spacious! The wi-fi was surprisingly good enough that my wife and I could both work off of it and even stream shows on the Roku the whole week," observed a Covered Bridge RV Park guest.

Utility requirements: Advance preparation for hookup variations prevents problems. A visitor to Casino Queen RV Park advised, "You will need a decent sized hose to reach if your water intake is in the front of your camper."
