Best RV Parks & Resorts near Rocheport, MO

Several RV parks near Rocheport provide accommodations for various motorhome sizes and preferences. Cottonwoods RV Park & Campground in Columbia features 83 full hookup sites with 50-amp service on gravel pads, operating year-round with amenities including a pool, laundry facilities, and showers. Katy Roundhouse in New Franklin offers pull-through sites with water, electric, and sewer connections particularly convenient for those traveling the Katy Trail. Cedar Creek Resort & RV Park provides big rig access with 50-amp electrical hookups and sewer connections. "Sites aren't too close together and the general feel is quiet," noted one visitor about Arrow Rock State Historic Site Campground, which offers full hookups and accommodates larger rigs.

Travelers should note that many sites throughout the region are closely spaced, particularly at busier parks like Cottonwoods where reviewers mentioned slides nearly extending over adjacent patios. Most RV sites in the area feature gravel pads rather than concrete, with varying degrees of leveling required. Blackwater Bluffs RV Park provides 22 sites with both 30-amp and 50-amp service options but lacks shower facilities. Cell service is generally reliable throughout the Columbia-Rocheport corridor. During university football season, availability becomes limited as parks fill with fans attending games. Many parks welcome pets but maintain specific rules regarding their management. Dump stations are available at most locations, though some smaller facilities like Love's RV Hookup in Boonville with only 6 sites may have limited waste disposal options.

    Red Maples Community

    Good for a short stay.

    Making reservations: We made reservations a few weeks in advance (glad we did). We received an email with the site and instructions, which included calling to make final payment. This one, like many private parks, has limited office hours. So, catching them while they were in the office took a few tries.

    The park: That all said, the experience in the park was fine. Beautiful tree canopy covers the whole park, tiny playground for the kids at the back of the park, etc. There was plenty of space between sites for our tow vehicle and 37’ 5th wheel with 3 slide outs. Utilities were close (50/30/20, water, sewer). Pull through sites if nobody is slotted in front/behind (you pull through one site to get to the other). No branches in our way (we are 12’7” tall). This park is a combo of mobile homes, transient RVs and long term RVs.

    Surrounding area: There is a gas station right up the road although it was too busy / small for us so we went back toward the main Highway where there are two big ones to choose from with plenty of space to turn. Seems to be the gateway to the Ozarks for gassing up, so plenty of space and stuff.

    Cottonwoods RV Park & Campground

    Very Nice Campground

    Check-in was quick and easy and we proceeded to pull through site 83 with FHUs. The gravel pad was very long and we had plenty of room for our 40’ rig and F450. The utilities were in the middle of the pad and water pressure was decent at about 40 psi. As we were on the end of a row, we had a lot of front yard space. The sites here are very close together, but long-term guests kept their sites nice and well organized, and overall this CG was very clean. There are mature trees so satellite placement could be challenging. We were able to place our Starlink in the yard area for a good shot to the north sky. We got 4 bars on Verizon and their WiFi worked well for a campground of this size. At the office, they have a nice store and gift shop with one of the best selections of camping shirts etc. that we have seen.

    Osage Campground Retreat

    Full hookups but sketchy

    Clean grounds, close to a conservation boat ramp and again full hookups. That’s about where it ends.

    Most sites appear to be year-round Occupied. Fifth wheels with buried to sewer lines And people riding their lawn mowers outside their campers.

    All things being equal it seems like more of a trailer park with a few camping vacancies.

    Arrow Rock State Historic Site Campground — Arrow Rock State Historic Site

    Nice campsite during off season

    Stayed two nights in early March in our RV. I knew the bathrooms would be locked and that the water would be off so had full fresh tank and jerry cans. There's a dump station on site so I didn't have to go home full too. Electric at the site was appreciated so we can run the furnace fan and water heater off it. I was not expecting to see no trashcans so I had to pack out. However, there were recycling bins.

    I didn't see anyone selling firewood along the way so I scavenged for wood near the site. Not a big deal to find wood but it was wet and challenging to keep from smoking me out.

    There were only a couple other campers and they were nice not to camp next to us. Felt like we were the only ones there. The best part of camping off season.

    Walked the trail down to the river and appreciated the crushed rock trail. I didn't visit the nearby town, but will next time I visit.

    The only negative was not being able to reserve and pay ahead of arrival, which means I have to bring exact cash. Who carries cash anymore?!

    Site 37 is a premium site with 50 amp service for an additional cost. I didn't have enough cash to pay the premium site price and had already setup camp before realizing it. My RV has a 30 amp service and it was off season so I didn't feel too bad about paying the standard electric price.

    Arrow Rock State Historic Site Campground — Arrow Rock State Historic Site

    Lovely and peaceful campground

    We stayed on site 13 for one night in October 2020. It’s about 15-20 minutes from I70. Electric and water hookups, clean showers, very nice campground host. You’re supposed to reserve>24 hours in advance but we pulled up around 8 pm and got a site. Good spacing between sites, pretty level parking spot, picnic table, fire pit, etc. Huge and empty picnic area- beautifully maintained. Lovely spot. Wish we had more time to explore it. We would return here again.

    Lakeview Park - Mexico

    Quiet RV/City Park

    We camped in a 32' Class C for 7 days during the Miss Missouri Pageant. It's a quite little park with maybe 15-20 sites with electric only. There is potable water and sewer dump on site. So W of the sites could be considered pull through depending if you have a neighbor or not. Some of the camp sites are arranged like a standard parking lot where you back in or pull in nose to nose or bumper to bumper depending on your type of rig. There is a fair amount of shade. The RV park is also the city park so there is a fair amount of traffic in and out during the day but not too bad. There is a playground area, bicycle /walking path as well as public flush toilets and a pavilion. It worked perfectly for our needs.

    Cottonwoods RV Park & Campground

    Very nice RV Park

    The only negative thing I would say is the spaces were very close to each other. Our slide nearly went over the patio of the next site over. But it was our family staying in that lot so it was ok. The office is very nice with very friendly staff. They sell lots of camping stuff and other miscellaneous items. The pool was small but nice. We had a lot of rain while we were there but the water drained pretty well. Our pull-through site was nice and level. Only had to level front to back. We’re going back this fall to stay during Mizzou football games.


Guide to Rocheport

Camping near Rocheport, Missouri combines river access with trail connections along the historic Katy Trail State Park. Situated where the Missouri River meets limestone bluffs, most campgrounds sit at elevations between 550-700 feet with summer temperatures averaging 85°F during peak season. Winter camping options remain available with several year-round facilities maintaining water access despite occasional freezing temperatures.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Cedar Creek Resort offers stocked ponds for anglers looking for convenient catches. "The fishing was great, amenities were fantastic, and the hosts were amazing. Free rentals on pontoon boats, kayaks, and paddle boats," notes Jason R. about the 160-acre property.

Disc golf courses: Binder Park Campground features a complete disc golf course with color-coded trails. "Trails are color coded and they do a great job of separating them by difficulty. The lake also has great fishing if you want to put in a canoe and do some paddling around," explains Charlotte B. about this Jefferson City location.

Katy Trail access: Katy Roundhouse provides direct trail connection for cyclists. "Camping right alongside the Katy Trail is hard to find. This campground is one of two I know of. Full hookups at most sites and nearly all are tree covered," reports Erik R. The campground sits approximately 50 feet from the trail for easy cycling access.

Live entertainment: Cooper's Landing offers regular music events Thursday through Sunday. "On my road trip out west I stumbled upon this little oasis. Good people and a fun time. Food truck set up and beer was being sold. Gorgeous lookout onto the Missouri River. They have a stage for live music," shares Shawn A. Music typically ends by 10 pm for quiet evenings.

What campers like

River views: Campsites at Cooper's Landing provide direct Missouri River access. "Campsites were right on the Missouri River. Had great views and a stunning sunset. Staff was super friendly and helpful. We set up our tent and enos for the night on the way to Colorado," notes Rebecca M.

Historic sites: Arrow Rock State Historic Site combines camping with cultural exploration. "The campground is neat and tidy and well maintained. The main appeal is the nearby town of Arrow Rock with its many historic buildings and an excellent interpretation center. Great for a pleasant cycle in the evening," explains Marimba N. The site includes George Caleb Bingham's house and a historic one-room jail.

Stargazing conditions: Night skies offer excellent viewing at certain campgrounds. "Beautiful Stargazing views. Photos don't capture the true essence!" remarks Christy about Arrow Rock State Historic Site Campground, which offers open sites with minimal light pollution.

Peaceful atmosphere: The smaller campgrounds maintain quieter environments. "This is a nice quiet little campground nestled in some farm fields. The facilities are well maintained and it was very quiet when we were there," says Luke L. about Katy Roundhouse.

What you should know

Site spacing varies: Many rv sites near Rocheport have tight spacing between campers. "The camp sites are very close to each other. But the campers around us were very nice," notes Jessica B. about Cottonwoods RV Park.

Reservation timing: Football seasons impact availability at campgrounds near Columbia. "We're going back this fall to stay during Mizzou football games," mentions David E., indicating how university events fill campgrounds quickly.

Gravel road access: Cedar Creek Resort & RV Park requires driving on unpaved roads. "The only thing I didn't love was the gravel road all the way in. Our truck and camper was covered with gravel dust. So if you had anything exposed, it'll get a bit dusty," reports Amy E.

Limited cell service: Coverage varies throughout the region. "We occasionally got 1 bar on T-mobile," notes Kevin M. about Arrow Rock State Historic Site, while other reviewers mention "no cell phone service really" at the same location.

Kids on bikes all night with no lights on bikes or grounds. It's a free for all," cautions Fred R. about Coconuts RV Resort.

Wildlife viewing opportunities: Multiple campgrounds offer bird watching areas. "Fun fishing lake. Sand volleyball, hiking an fishing. Great frisbee course. The camping area was very small but well kept. Lake is gray for kayaking but can be a bit busy on weekends," mentions Cathy S. about Binder Park.

Beginner-friendly sites: Cottonwoods provides full hookup sites ideal for first-time campers. "Perfect place for us to learn the ins and outs as it had full hook-ups. Staff was really friendly, and had the cutest store!" shares Miles H.
