Camping locations around Raymore, Missouri include several established campgrounds with varying amenities and styles. The surrounding Jackson County parks offer multiple options including Longview Campground, Lake Jacomo - Fleming Park, and Blue Springs Lake Campground, all within 20-30 minutes of Raymore. These facilities accommodate both tent and RV camping, with full hookup sites available at most locations. Peculiar Park Place, located just south of Raymore, provides year-round camping with electric, water, and sewer connections for travelers.
Seasonal availability varies across the region's campgrounds, with many operating primarily from April through October. Longview Campground opens from April to late September with prices ranging from $21-33 per night. "Very nice facilities. Good price on firewood for the quantity. Repaving the entire park, with new gravel at most sites," noted one visitor about Longview's conditions. Most campgrounds in the area feature gravel pads, though some premium sites offer concrete pads. Weather considerations include hot, humid summers and occasional storms, making spring and fall popular camping seasons. Many sites require reservations, especially during weekends and holidays when local campgrounds fill quickly.
Campers report varying experiences with shade coverage across the region's camping areas. While some sites offer adequate tree cover, others feature more open layouts with limited natural shade. A review of Longview mentioned, "There aren't many trees and the lake wasn't accessible from the campground." Lake access represents another important consideration, as several campgrounds are near bodies of water but may not offer direct shoreline access from camping areas. For those seeking more amenities, Kansas City East-Oak Grove KOA provides cabin options in addition to traditional tent and RV sites. Clean facilities and family-friendly environments make Jackson County campgrounds popular options for local overnight stays and visitors exploring the greater Kansas City metropolitan area.

RangerI lived near Basswood for 20 plus years and did not know anything about it but where it was. My wife and I decided to live in our camper while we transition homes and I am so pleased with this place. Friendly, easy going, safe.
ScoutWonderful free campsites overlooking a lake. There is a boat dock and outhouse. It is primitive and you need to pack your trash out, but it’s beautiful, free, and not far off the highway.
TravelerWas a nice little off the way spot with a couple camping spots on the lake. The grass/clover was super soft to walk in bare foot no stickers. Great spot for families. Not the worst for bugs but mosquitoes can’t be helped. Toilets could use a good cleaning but weren’t the worst I still used em. Some broken glass on the beach but over all was a good spot to camp
ScoutGreat location and nice shady spots to camp
TravelerFriendly and helpful staff.
RangerNice campground, host was super friendly. Bathrooms were average but clean, men's sinks need some TLC. Water was a trickle. Site was nice with shade. Has full hook up Would stay again
ScoutI’m the attendant. Nice campground but very busy on weekends. A few sites have a view of Lake Jacomo.
TravelerThe check in process was simple and easy. The campground was very clean. It's been an enjoyable stay.
ScoutThe workers were very helpful and informed us that you can’t camp without a tent or RV (we don’t own either (not yet at least) so no camping for us this time around. Plus if we wanted to it would be $31 for the basic fee so for right now we passed. Maybe one day we’ll come back and enjoy the sights
