Best Campgrounds near Robertsville, MO

Robertsville State Park Campground serves as the primary camping destination in Robertsville, Missouri, with 28 shaded sites split between basic and electric hookups. This state park anchors a broader camping landscape that includes Pin Oak RV Park and several other established campgrounds within a 30-mile radius. Campers can choose from tent sites, RV accommodations with full hookups, and cabin rentals. Most campgrounds in this region are set among wooded terrain with access to the Meramec River, offering a mix of recreational opportunities in a natural setting. The area supports both developed camping with amenities and more rustic options with varying degrees of site privacy and river access.

Seasonal considerations affect camping in the Robertsville area, with most campgrounds open year-round but experiencing higher demand during summer months. Robertsville State Park features gravel pads at most sites, with two ADA-accessible cement pads available. While the park maintains drinking water access, most electric sites don't offer full hookups, requiring campers to use communal water sources. Tent campers should note that some sites have uneven terrain, as indicated in reviews. Reservations are recommended, particularly for weekend stays during peak season when minimum two-night stays are often required. A visitor noted: "The spaces are electric only, so if you are wanting full hookups you better look elsewhere. Also they have communist water so you don't get to hookup to that all the time either."

The natural environment ranks highly in camper reviews across Robertsville-area campgrounds. Robertsville State Park receives praise for its wooded, secluded atmosphere and wildlife viewing opportunities. Campers consistently mention the clean facilities, with shower houses, flush toilets, and even on-site laundry facilities available at some properties. The Meramec River access represents a significant draw for many visitors, offering fishing and boating opportunities. Most campgrounds in the region maintain trails for hiking, though reviews indicate limited playground facilities at some locations. A camper remarked about Robertsville State Park: "We have used this campground for three years. One of our favorites. Small and quiet. Lots of wildlife and flowers."

    Brazil Creek Camping Area

    Free to stay, no water, no gray dump, no garbage

    It's a free place to park and stand the night. The campground does not have any water, grey dump, or garbage. So it is primitive camping.

    There are lots of insects that will attack you on your walk, too...

    Meramec Caverns Natural Campground

    A Few Key Points Missing

    Stayed here overnight en route to New Mexico. We arrived just after dark in Oct at 7p. The person manning the entrance thought we couldn't be campers because we had just a pickup truck. RTTs must be new here. They didn't offer a map and there is zero signage to help you find your site in the dark. The bathrooms have no mirrors, no hot water and were not the cleanest, we passed on showers.

    Meramec Valley Campground & RV Park

    Peaceful and quiet

    My cousin invited us to this particular campground and my wife fell in love with it. It truly felt like a campground regardless of the amenities they have to offer.

    Meramec Caverns Natural Campground

    Quiet and Friendly

    From the person on the phone, to the one you see at the check-in gate, everyone is incredibly friendly :)

    We were amongst the only campers during our stay, so it was pretty quiet. This campground has a great set-up for family reunions, celebrations, group camping, etc.

    Twin Eagle Lake Estates & Hideout

    Owners get drunk so they can fight with customers!

    Went to go have a peaceful birthday dinner tonight with my family, and the lovely owners Tyler and Jennifer Juliette were so intoxicated that they kicked us off the property for being in a open public space without camping passes. My fiancé and some of the other guys were all hanging around the dumpster area(no sign saying you can’t be there), when a manager came over and was very rudely asking if they had day passes. When my fiancé calmly tried to explained we were there under a reservation, and we were only hanging around the public general store, the manager proceeded to get visibly angry and said she was informing the owner of our behaviour. After my fiancé came and told me of the situation, I went outside to see what the chaos was. Tyler and Jennifer proceed to come up to my fiancé and say“are you the one who was mouthy with my manger”. Mind you, they both were clearly intoxicated and had alcohol in hand and the manager had a cigarette hanging out of her mouth most of the interaction. After they came up I looked at Tyler and said“Sir we are here under reservation if I could just explain” and Tyler replied“I don’t care about a reservation and you’re going to let me talk.” They proceeded to say we needed to leave or they would call the cops. I told them obviously they had too much to drink and that we would leave. As we turned around to go inside and grab our belongings, they followed us the entire time. Tyler followed me so closely I was so scared he was going to grab me! Literally he was half an inch away from being chest to back with me, and I told him aggressively to back Up, get away from me and that I am a young woman. When we got inside, the owners told my family we were the most“disrespectful children” they’d ever met, mind you we are both legal adults. I grab my belongings, we left, and we surely will never ever be back! My family was left embarrassed, shocked, and disturbed by how poorly the owners handled the situation. If they had kindly asked us to see our passes or that we couldn’t hang by the dumpsters, there would have been 0 issue. If anyone there witnessed the interaction, I am highly sorry for the scene. However this was 100% poor business management and could’ve been handled 1000x better. So unfortunate that the owners are to entitled and money hungry to hear out the people who give them business.
