SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
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." Family-friendly amenities vary across properties, with Pin Oak RV Park offering more developed recreation options compared to the more nature-focused state park experience.

Quiet Spot
Stopped here for a few hour nap, mostly empty and quiet off the interstate. Missouri Conservation land

Many memories and making more
In the past my cousins and I would camp here every year at least once with Grandparents and my aunt and uncle. Always had a great time swimming, fishing and hiking. The park is beautiful and the camp sites are very nice. It does get pretty packed at times. Everyone seems to get along and its always nice to meet people from other cities or even some locals. I'm planning on setting at least two dates per year to take my kids and grandkids camping here so they can have the great experiences I had as a kid. Alot of spots to chose from if available.

F350 with slide in camper
We got our F350 with a slide in camper down to the creek. About a mile off the main road but it was super tight. Would recommend having a saw in case tree is down: def scraped some branches but it was nice at the end with the creek there. Very peaceful

Our Recommended Campground for Visiting the St. Louis Area
This campground was easy to find, as both our GPS and the campground signs led us right to the city park and campground entrance. Check-in begins at 2:00 p.m., but we called ahead and were graciously allowed to arrive an hour early. We checked in and proceeded to back-in Site 426 with full hookups. As the last site in the campground, the curve in the road made for an exceptionally easy back-in. The concrete pad easily accommodated our 40-foot toy hauler and F-450, with utilities conveniently located near the center of the site and no issues connecting two sewer hoses. Water pressure was adequate, and the 50-amp electric performed flawlessly. The campground's four loops have mostly younger trees, so satellite reception should not be a problem in most sites. Although we brought our Starlink, we used our T-Mobile Home Internet instead, averaging 217 Mbps download and 21.5 Mbps upload. The campground information sheet mentioned Wi-Fi, but we never saw a network to join and didn't inquire further since our internet worked well. We received three bars on Verizon and two bars on T-Mobile. The campground has a nice fenced dog park that's large enough to actually throw a ball, plus a paved walking and biking trail that circles the lake. The office also sells ice and firewood, and the dump station is located behind the office. Many sites offer lake views, and the RV sites are generally well spaced. We noticed Loop 100 has all concrete pads, the first two rows of Loop 200 are concrete with the remaining sites primarily gravel except for some end sites, Loop 300 is reserved for primitive camping and tents, and Loop 400 has a mix of concrete and gravel sites. The center rows of the RV loops are pull-throughs. One thing to be aware of is that the campground has begun charging short-term campers for electricity. We weren't informed about it during check-in, although our traveling companions were shown how to monitor their usage online. The information sheet we received only referenced weekly and monthly electric charges. Even with hot weather and occasionally running three air conditioners during our three-day stay, our electric charge was only about $14. We departed without stopping at the office and received a checkout email about an hour after the noon checkout time. The St. Louis area is our home base, and in our opinion, this is the best RV park in the area and the one we most often recommend to our RV friends.

Outdoor Family Fun
My family and I really enjoyed being at Klondike Park Camping. I can't really find anything I didn't like about this place. The camp sites were clean and well maintained, there are bathrooms not to far to get to and a camp kitchen where you can do dishes and cook if needed. I love the off grid feeling of being in the outdoors but when you have children it is nice knowing you have these luxurious not far from your camp site. I also love how easy it is to navigate around Klondike. I never got lost once I figured out the layout. My family and I can't wait until our next adventure at Klondike and we stayed at site 25 if anyone is wondering about the perfect site to camp.

Great price for what you get!
Full hook up. Lovely lake. Great paved path. Sites are level. Landscaping is amazing. My only issue is no shade trees. Where else are you getting full hook up with all of these activities for this price?

Pros: 1. Door Dash delivers to site 2. Can purchase 12 hours for a quick stop or full 24 hous no matter time you arrive. Cons: its a bit pricey. It was listed as 30 for 24 its 50 for 24
Andrew S.GuideDr. Edmond Babler State Park
Great location, no privacy.
The location to St. Louis is great, and the utility hookups for RV were convenient, but there was ZERO privacy at the sites and hiking trail were extremely limited. Great coverage for Verizon and Starlink.
