Best Glamping near Platte City, MO

Pne of the closest to the Kansas city metro lots of glamping

Great please to camp, not to crowded. Got busier on the weekends, empty on the week. Nice showers and toilets, laundry. Campsites were large, many had a good footprint enough to set up a large tent. We have a 20’ round yurt and had plenty of room. Lots of hiking trails in this park, some paved. Nice lookout point. Dog park was nice, well gated and taken care of, had water station for thirsty dogs. We spent 25$ a night for a 30amp electric site. Campground was well maintained. Only minutes from the historic town of Westin, amazing parks, lots of pubs and little restaurants. Nice place to walk around. I would camp here again.

Weston Bend is less than half an hour from our home, but at the same time, it seems a world away. We enjoy camping there to get away from routine and responsibilities and simply hang out at our camper. The campground is wooded, generally cool, and peaceful. All camp spots are well-shaded and nestled within the woods. It's easy to take a quick jaunt into Weston for wine-tasting or exploring it's quaint shops. Or you can hike or bike in the Weston Bend park and check out the nearby Missouri River from the park's overlook.

Small campground. Great hiking trails. Great shade

We said at camp site 26. This has to be one of the best sites to stay out if your in a tent. It‘s far enough away from the entrance were you don’t here traffic coming or going. There is also a lot of hiking trails through out park.

great camp grounds, great host, great place to take our dog on her first camping trip for the weekend

I really liked the stay here. The only thing I wish is added on is some lights because my lights weren't illuminating as well as I thought it would and we were cooking in the dark.

Yesss

We were not impressed with this little state park. The trails were the best feature of this park. The campground was small and not very many campsites for tents. The restroom/showers were modern. It is close to KC

Camp host was friendly. Very few primitive sites so we tent camped on an electric site. Clean facilities.

Weston Bend was everything I could hope for. The camp site were small and compact but it was nice. I for sure recommend campsite 26 anyone who comes and utilizes.

We only stay overnight and arrived late.  We thought we had a site on the river but the site map is a little deceiving as the campground is a good, long hike to the river.  Sites are very private, facilities are clean and it is super quiet.

Campground is great overall, with a walkable trail just past the showers, clean restrooms and easy to access sites. There are only 3 basic tent sites, making it hard to nab. #4 had a decent amount of privacy, however most other electric sites do not. As an electric site, there was not a lot of ground space for tents, we settled on gravel with reflectix to buffer the ground. Check in was easy, and in walking distance. Site was pretty noisy, even after hours, a few kids running around with speakers on blast definitely were less than optimal.

Lovely spot to park our trailer! Big pad size to have a fire and hang out with friends and family. Hiking access and you can hike/bike into downtown Weston from the campground! No spot is a bad spot! Will be going back soon!

This was our 2nd stay at Weston Bend SP. Both times, we had site 26, one of the few basic sites. While some of the other sites were very close to each other, this one is relatively isolated. It's big too. There's a vault toilet close by. It was clean and roomy. We didn't use the water but there are a few spigot throughout the campground. There's also a regular restroom near the campground entrance, but we didn't use it. We will definitely camp here again if we are passing through.

Very nice lots was a Lil disappointed because this camp site was in mid missori and the agent I contacted it from was in meridian ms and had never been there was told it would have water n 30 amp service but all that was there was 30 amp no water but it was really nice I didn't have time to stay long just the night .

- a hose at the dump station that you can actually hook up to your black tank flush

- both AT&T and Verizon worked great 

Cons:

- I honestly have none from here!

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.

We arrived around 1 pm and got the pull through site. It is a nice little park that will be closed from November 1, 2024 through April 14, 2025. An electric site was $25.00. The facilities were exceptionally clean and the camp hosts were very polite.

We’ve been to Weston Bend once before, but not with our pop up. Sites are fairly close together. No water hook ups and spigot water was kind of funky.

Our site was just down the road from the showers, but could potentially be an up hill journey for some sites.

The town of Weston will keep us coming back. Great wineries and shops. Just outside KC makes it super convenient for us!

Didn’t take too many pics this time!

had a great time with great friend well kept park

This is a beautiful place close to town and wonder hiking trails.

The trails in this area are open but you have to hike into all of them and the campground is still closed even though most other state parks are open. The sites are basic for tents but well laid. The trail system heads to an overlook and down to the river.

Nice little campground with decent trails. The river was inaccessible when we went which was a bummer but my son and I enjoyed ourselves.

beautiful park, lovely day trip from KC. Some trails are crazy steep!
