Best RV Parks & Resorts near Pleasant Hill, MO

Several RV parks around Pleasant Hill provide varying amenities for motorhome travelers. Lake Paradise Resort in Lone Jack offers full hookup sites with 50-amp service, though many sites are not particularly level and can be difficult to maneuver. "The sites are old and not very level and difficult to maneuver. Lots of seasonal campers but it could be a 4 star campsite with some upgrades," noted one camper. Trailside RV Park in Grain Valley provides water, sewer, and electric connections, along with shower facilities. Campus RV Park in Independence features pull-through sites with 50-amp service, while Owl Creek Market and RV Park in Odessa accommodates big rigs and remains open year-round with water and electric hookups.

Road access varies significantly between parks, with interstate noise affecting several locations. Highway proximity creates ambient sound at Trailside RV Park, where visitors mention both train and highway noise disrupting the camping experience. Most RV parks in the region require access codes or registration upon arrival, with dump stations available at Lake Paradise, Campus RV Park, and Worlds of Fun Village. Cell service can be inconsistent, particularly at Lake Paradise Resort where AT&T coverage has been reported as poor. Seasonal availability differs between facilities - while some like Owl Creek remain open year-round, Worlds of Fun Village operates only from March through October. Propane services are limited, though most parks allow pets with standard restrictions.

    Rutlader Outpost RV Park

    Great Campground

    We’re from Kansas City and there are very few options when it comes to Campgrounds. This is by far our favorite and their rates are very reasonable. We enjoyed our stay, staff was very friendly and the park was clean and easy to get in and out of. You’re also very close to Hillsdale State Park, but this location has a tornado shelter 🤣

    The park: great store, laid out well, gravel sites. Some are back in but most are pull through. Full hook ups- power/water/sewer.

    72 Sites: 30' wide, 60' long and level 24 Sites are pull thru All have 30 & 50 amp service

    You are within 40 minutes of southern Overland Park, and within approximately an hour (depending on traffic) to Kansas City.

    Amenities: Laundry Storm Shelter Showers Meeting room available for RV Rallies (Must Schedule) Fishing Lake

    Cellular: service was good, able to stream video, work, Facebook, etc.

    Rates as of April 2020 (from their site):

    -DAY RATE: $45.00 -CLUB RATE: $40.00 (Good Sam's, FMCA, AAA, Military) -WEEKLY: $215 -MONTHLY: $575 Back In $700 Pull Through (if not paid by due date, Day Rate will apply.)​

    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.

    Sunflower Campground — Hillsdale State Park

    Very Clean and Very Relaxing

    The Park: We love this park, it’s massive, and really pretty. They have so much to do (listed below). Sunflower Loop is our favorite and has full hookups. There are more primitive loops as well. It is ADA accessible. There was not a tornado shelter as of 2018. This is one thing that should be mandatory given its proximity and being further away from potential shelter. Excellent camping on the lake. Lots of water activities available.

    Sites: level, clear, easily accessible. Sunflower loop is widely spaced and plenty of room for larger RVs.

    Cellular: decent cellular signal.

    Amenities: Amphitheater Bath House Bicycling Boat Ramp Boating Canoeing Kayaking Campground Host Camping, Equestrian Camping, Improved Site Camping, Primitive Church Comfort Station Dock, Boat Dump Station, Camper Dump Station, Marina Fire Rings Fishing, Park Lake Fuel, Boats Golf Grills Gun Range Hiking Hiking Trail Horseback Riding Hunting Information Booth Jet Skiing Laundry Marina Mountain/Trail Bicycling Park Lake Parking Picnic Area Picnic Shelter Picnic Tables Playground Rentals, Boat, Motorized Rentals, Jet Skis Reservoir Restrooms Shelters Showers Skiing - Water Swimming, Park Lake Telephone Toilet, Pit/Vault Trails, Bicycle Trails, Equestrian Trails, Hiking/Walking, Easy Trails, Mountain Bike Walking Water Access, Park Lake Water Skiing

    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

    Cozy Corner RV Park

    Cozy location south of Clinton

    Nice park that has flat/level sites with 50/30 full hookups. Salt water pool, play ground, camp store with onsite storage available for campers or boats, this is a great place to be if you want to do some fishing or hunting at Truman Lake.

    Small pond on site and storm shelter. Cell coverage a bit shaky- park has wifi

    Increase in the number of RVers has this place packed so a quick call and reservation to hold the site is recommended

    Great owners

    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.

    Shady Acres RV Park

    Great Park like setting. Very clean and maintained. Great owners

    Full hook-ups and a bath/shower house (which doubles as a storm shelter). 2 ponds on the property and a community picnic shelter. 15 RV spots that are graveled with a fire ring and picnic table at each. Close to a small convenient store and fuel station. (1/4 mile to the east) Close to Hillsdale Lake for swimming and boating. Horseshoe pits. Gated community at night (owners give you code if you leave and come back at night) Aaron and Cindy Bien are the owners and are great people!!

    Sunflower Campground — Hillsdale State Park

    Hillsdale Lake, Paola, IS Sunflower State Park Campground

    New campground, so not much shade. But, many trees have planted for the future. Full hookups but no restroom or storm shelter on site. It has some concrete pads which would be nice wheelchair access.


Guide to Pleasant Hill

RV campgrounds near Pleasant Hill, Missouri are situated in the western portion of the state, approximately 30 miles southeast of Kansas City. The area features rolling hills and open farmland, with elevations ranging between 800-950 feet. Summer temperatures typically reach the upper 80s while humidity levels remain high during camping season. Most campgrounds operate on gravel pads with varying degrees of shade coverage depending on location.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Lake Paradise Resort in Lone Jack offers multiple fishing ponds where families catch various species. "We camped here in September 2020. There are nice spots right by the lakes with big trees for shade. Kids found tons of frogs and snails to play with," notes Brandi D.

Movie nights and celebrations: Seasonal outdoor entertainment happens at several campgrounds between May and September. "We went to a movie outside there and fireworks for Memorial Day weekend. The pool was open for the first Saturday but it was rainy and of course cold. It was still so much fun," shares Erica B. from Lake Paradise Resort.

Historical exploration: Several rv campgrounds near Pleasant Hill provide access to Independence's historical sites within a 30-minute drive. "Just 30 minutes to downtown Kansas City and maybe 15 minutes to arrowhead stadium, this campground is ideal for being close to everything that Kansas City offers," explains Wendy T. from Campus RV Park.

What campers like

Swimming facilities: Pools receive frequent mentions in camper reviews as valuable amenities during hot summer months. "The pool is renovated and very nice. It is very large, zero entry, up to mostly around 5 ft deep with a small area that was 9ft; there is a children's area with a sprinkler," notes Julie B.

Concrete parking pads: Level spots with solid foundations rank high on RVers' priority lists at Pleasant Hill area campgrounds. "Full hook ups, concrete pads, showers and laundry. We stayed in the site right by the office and facilities. Good hookups that worked and WiFi worked very well," reports Kelly D. from Campus RV Park.

Onsite markets: Several campgrounds feature convenience stores with regional specialties. "Great camp store with selections of sausage and cheese. Also, small selection of wine," mentions Kirk H. about Owl Creek Market and RV Park in Odessa, which remains open year-round with water and electric hookups.

What you should know

Noise considerations: Highway proximity affects most RV campgrounds around Pleasant Hill. "Noise. Mostly from the highway, but also trains and air traffic. Situated between two neighborhoods, the highway, and an RV dealership," warns Kris M. about Trailside RV Park in Grain Valley.

Weather challenges: Summer storms can impact camping experiences, particularly at locations with minimal drainage. "We were meeting cousins from Texas to do the Lewis and Clark loop this past weekend. The heat index was 120F. No lie," reports Donna H. about her August stay.

Site privacy levels: Most campgrounds feature closely spaced sites with minimal separation. "The spaces are smaller although it is in a nice area where it's shady," notes Joann C. about her stay, while another camper mentioned, "I would recommend staying at the premium pull through sites the other back-in sites are rather small."

Tips for camping with families

Pool access policies: Some campgrounds include swimming privileges with registration while others charge per-person fees. "Included in your camp fee you get 2 free daily passes per night of camping to the pool and a discounted rate for any other swimmers; so for our family with 4 we had the free passes go to the parents and paid $3 each for the kids to swim."

Kid-friendly terrain: Consider ground surfaces when bringing children's equipment. "Roads throughout campground are gravel, not paved, if that makes a difference with kids bringing scooters or bikes," advises a visitor to Lake Paradise Resort.

Entertainment options: Worlds of Fun Village offers theme park proximity with dedicated camping facilities. "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.

Tips from RVers

Site selection strategy: Choose locations based on specific needs rather than price alone. "Pay more for the pull through you'll have tons of parking even if your rig is big. Our rig is 44 ft and we parked two 2500's on the pad no problem," advises E.C.

Wi-Fi reliability: Internet access varies significantly between facilities. "I like the location it's close to where I was working and close to downtown so lots of things to do in the area. The Wi-Fi is working well as I am working online from this location," notes Bob M. about Walnut Grove RV Park.

Budget considerations: Smaller facilities sometimes offer better value despite fewer amenities. "$20/night including full hookups! Town population only 600. There's a bar & grill and a brunch cafe around the corner from the RV park. Payment is self serve, no reservations," reports Phil R. about a smaller facility in Mayview.
