Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Resort At Six Flags accepts pets at all accommodation types including cabins, RV sites, tent sites, and glamping options. Several other pet-friendly campgrounds surround Valley Park, including Greensfelder County Park with spacious tent and RV sites that welcome dogs. Covered Bridge RV Park provides concrete pads with full hookups where pets can stay, though reviewers note there's limited green space for pets to exercise. Most campgrounds in the area maintain standard leash policies, with pets required to be on-leash at all times outside vehicles or camping units. Klondike Park and Robertsville State Park both offer pet-friendly camping with scenic trails where leashed dogs can join hiking activities. Small RV parks like Covered Bridge may have spacious sites but lack dedicated pet amenities such as waste stations or designated exercise areas.
Greensfelder County Park's trail system provides excellent opportunities for pet exercise with multiple well-marked hiking paths accessible directly from the campground. The park features two trailheads on opposite sides of the camping area, making morning dog walks convenient. St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park allows pets at all accommodation types including cabins and tent sites, with water access available for dogs who enjoy swimming. Most campgrounds in the area require proof of current vaccinations for pets, and campers should be prepared for tick prevention due to the high deer population in parks like Greensfelder. During summer months, early morning or evening walks are recommended to prevent pet overheating on trails. The highway noise at Jellystone Park may disturb sensitive pets, particularly at sites closest to Interstate 44. Campgrounds near Six Flags tend to be busier with families and children, which may not suit reactive dogs or those uncomfortable around activity.

ScoutMy favorite spot in all of St. Louis! The lady who is the owner and the front desk attendant are wonderful and I have never had a problem here with anything! Free WiFi, laundry, and a public shower and bathroom if needed! There’s also cool walking/biking trails and a park with a children’s playground as well! The gas station is also walking distance for any small necessities
GuideIt appears to be a typical state park. There are lots of old trees. Sites are pretty close together but it is late October so it is not crowded. Each spot has a level gravel spot, electrical hook up (some are 50 and others 30 and ours had a 110 plug in which is what we needed, as well as a picnic table, and a fire pit. There are both pit toilets and a large building that has flush toilets and showers. Everything is old and would benefit from a refresh but it was all clean enough for camping.
ScoutMy favorite RV spot in St. Charles. It’s pretty quiet minus the cool boats and train but other than that it’s peaceful…also love the price!
ScoutNice and easy. Good spacing between sites
ScoutThis is one of the worst state parks I’ve ever visited. The sites are small no water or electricity. Takes 15 minutes from civilization to get there.
TravelerTrails in the area re nice but facilities for this many sites are limited. Sites are close to each other.
TravelerCame to Riverside landing on a Tuesday-Thursday for car camping and there was only a few other RVs and one other tent camper. Reserved a spot right on the river, very scenic and quiet. Right by some train tracks so trains do run by, but that was the only loud noise! No restrooms here so bring your own amenities if you aren’t in an RV
TravelerStayed overnight, got a great site next to the pond, escorted to site by friendly staff…..
ScoutGood showers 10 dollar tenting fire pits and park benches at each site. Dump stations and there are flushing and pit toilets on site

Weather considerations: Seasonal flooding can impact camping availability at lower elevation sites. "While we were there they had a record rainfall amount and the park apparently already has flooding issues so it was flooding pretty bad," reports Charlie & Danielle B. about Covered Bridge RV Park.
Reservation requirements: St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park maintains limited availability during peak seasons. "Called to make sure they had sites available before we came. The staff is SUPER NICE AND CARING. Example 1: There was some rough springtime weather expected one day. A park ranger went around to every site and notified every camper of where the shelters were," mentions Mats.
