Best Cabin Camping near St. Charles, MO

223 Reviews

Cabin accommodations in the St. Charles region include options at St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park and St. Charles County Klondike Park, providing clean, functional lodging with varying amenities. Most cabins feature electric hookups, basic furnishings, and dedicated fire pits with picnic tables. According to one visitor, "The sites were clean. Convenient to town. No trees for shade and large power lines above." Bathroom facilities are typically centralized in shower houses rather than inside individual cabins, though amenities vary by location.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Yogi Bears Jellystone Park Resort offers family-friendly cabin options with proximity to Six Flags, while Pin Oak RV Park provides more basic accommodations. Most properties require advance reservations, particularly during summer months. Pet policies vary significantly between properties, with some allowing pets for an additional fee while others prohibit them entirely. A camper wrote, "The park was very clean and secure. Sites were level and well maintained. We would definitely stay again!"

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Basic cooking equipment may be provided in some units, though many locations only offer outdoor fire pits or grills for meal preparation. On-site markets exist at several campgrounds including St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park and Yogi Bears Jellystone, though selection is limited. Firewood is typically available for purchase from camp offices. The proximity to St. Peters and St. Charles provides convenient access to grocery stores and outdoor supply retailers for additional provisions.

    St. Charles County Klondike Park

    Fantastic Camping Just Off The Katy Trail

    I have bike-packed along the Katy and this is an excellent spot for an overnight(s) stay. It is a tough, but short, climb from the trail. You may have to walk up the hill - challenge made :-) . This is a St. Charles County Park and it is well maintained. They also have small cabins though pretty basic. Make sure to store your food securely overnight - the racoons are pretty thick and hungry at night. I have also done short bike-packing trips from Chesterfield and St. Charles for an overnight(s) stay. If you need it, grab food in Augusta or Defiance before arriving. There are no services in the park.

    Cuivre River State Park Campground

    Natural, well maintained

    Nice campground with tent areas and RV area well separated. Fire rings with attached rebar grills on a bricked square. Picnic table and lantern post. Small playground near the check in station/camp store. The store is small but will have what you need. The showers were adequate with the requisite daddy long legs. There were a fair amount of ticks so spray your gear with permethrin. Many of the sites were pretty small - we had a hard time seeing where a tent would fit, usually the answer was on the side of the road. Also, many were close together with little privacy. We stayed on site 53. Which I definitely recommend. Plenty of space for the tent (on a bit of a slant with tree roots, but doable, especially with air mattresses), great privacy on one side, decentprivacy on the other, and a lovely view of the woods at the back.

    Meramec Caverns Natural Campground

    Jesse James hideout camping

    This is a private campground run by Meramec Caverns. The campground is large and shaded, right on the river. There are hook up sites and tent sites. My advice is to try and get a spot all the way to the left of the entrance. These sites seem quieter and more spread out. The down side is that they are pretty far from the shower house and bathrooms. Most of this sites (but not all) have picnic tables, grills and fire pits. There are a few really nice sites right on the river. There is a restaurant, general store, canoe rental, zip line (it goes across the Meramec River, not sure how you get back!), and of course the caverns. The cave tour is a bit hokey, but if you can look past the mannequins and silliness, the caves themselves are really spectacular. You can definitely see why Jesse and Frank James used this as a hideout.

    Washington State Park Campground

    The perfect park

    We absolutely love this park. It’s just under an hour from St. Louis, with river access, amazing hiking trails & great views. Very clean campsites with lots of shade for tent campers & nice level lots. There is even a swimming pool if the river isn’t your thing & a couple playgrounds too. There is a dollar general right outside the park entrance which is super convenient if you forget something or your lighter runs out of fluid like us lol. They have cabins to rents as well as Camper spots and basic lots. Pet friendly! Highly recommend this park. The whole family enjoyed staying here.

    Cahokia RV Parque

    Cahokia RV Parque, IL

    We chose Cahokia RV Park because of its close proximity to St. Louis Missouri. We stayed in a gravel site with a concrete pad, fire pit, picnic table and full-hook ups. The spaces are tighter, but that was expected being closer to a city. There is a playground, pool and pond area to walk around. We were pleased with the cleanliness of the bathrooms and showers and had no major complaints. The price reflected what we got out of our stay.

    Beaver Dam State Park Campground

    Nice campsites

    All sites are shaded and mostly level with pull-thru or back-in parking. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring with a grate over it. Each site has electric, however the water spigots are scattered about. The restroom and shower house is very clean.

    There is a nice walking trail path that goes around the exterior of the lake. The lake has boat access and some good fishing spots. There is also a restaurant and store on the lake. The breakfast at the restaurant is great! Mosquitoes are bad, remember to bring repellent.

    St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park

    Convenient to St. Charles

    Easy off I-370, campground is new and large. It is on a lake with bike trails, kayak rental, and kids splash pad. Staff were helpful. I received about 5 pieces of paper when checking in. You need a code to get into the dog park. Shopping nearby. Used this as a base to visit historic St Charles.

    Nice close park to St. Louis

    Pet-friendly, full hookups, space for our larger rig and parking around for extra vehicle. Laundry and propane on site. Spaces were a little close together, but minutes from downtown St. Louis, and staff was friendly and accommodating. Also, fantastic restaurant right on site -- Sawmill BBQ!

    Cahokia RV Parque

    Close to STL, beautiful bathrooms, restaurant on site, after hours check in

    I specifically would like to point out things that I look for when booking because I’m usually already on the road when trying to find a place to stay. There was after hours check in! But also a so friendly staff in the office. Beautiful coded bathrooms with showers. They were heated and warm and very well marked.
    We did get a 30amp spot, because we have a van with solar panels and didn’t need to hook up. From doing this we were placed under street lights so they were always on and bright directly on our van. The next night they let us move to a 50 amp. The 50 amp spaces were the only ones with firepits. Rvs are close to one another but I was completely okay with that. There was road noise, quite a bit. But large trash bins and a great bbq restaurant on the grounds! I was planning on grabbing a gallon of milk when we got there...there really is nothing around the rv park! Maybe a couple gas stations at best, but if you need groceries or anything, stop and get them before you get close. Stop in the town before.

    Oh and an awesome playground for the kids!!

What you should know

Cabins book quickly in summer: Most St. Charles area cabin rentals require advance planning. "We called ahead but didn't need a reservation.
