    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.

      Sundermeier RV Park

      My 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

      Meramec State Park Campground

      It 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.

      Riverside Landing

      My 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!

      Cuivre River State Park Campground

      Ugh

      This 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.

      Riverside Landing

      September car camping

      Came 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

    Guide to Valley Park

    Camping near Valley Park offers multiple options within 20 miles of town, primarily along Interstate 44 and the Meramec River corridors. The area sits at approximately 460 feet elevation in Missouri's eastern foothills with typical Midwest seasonal temperature variations. Summer temperatures often exceed 90°F with high humidity, while winter camping sees occasional snow and temperatures that can drop below freezing.

    What to do

    Hiking opportunities: Klondike Park features multiple hiking trails through unique white sand topography. "The park is beautiful. Located about 25 minutes from St Louis. The views around the pond are amazing. There is a sandy beach area surrounding the water, making it a great place either lay in the sun or to go fishing," notes Joseph F.

    Mountain biking access: Greensfelder County Park offers well-maintained trails specifically designed for mountain biking. "The park is known for its well-groomed trails, which are used by hikers, mountain bikers, and equestrians alike. Plenty of stables surround the area, where you may rent a horse and go for a stroll through the woods," according to Lucas M.

    Katy Trail biking: Beyond the Trail RV Park provides direct access to Missouri's famous Katy Trail. "The Katy trail is right next to the campground for walking or biking. There is also a really nice brewery right at the entrance. Within walking distance is a really nice winery and a couple bars," says Adam F.

    What campers like

    River access: Robertsville State Park Campground offers boat launch facilities on the Meramec River. "There's also a lake within a few minutes walking, although the current was too strong to swim we were told it's home to many large catfish," explains Ana B.

    Cabin variety: The Jellystone Park near Six Flags provides multiple cabin options beyond standard camping. "You can go from rustic rent a tent to a really nice cabin with lots amenities!! We will be back!!" shares Mike T.

    Proximity to wineries: Many dog friendly campgrounds near Valley Park position campers near Missouri wine country. "This is just a great park. It is located in a sleepy little winery town. It is just a few minutes from the main part of town with multiple beautiful wineries within a few miles," remarks Jamie C. about Beyond the Trail RV Park.

    What you should know

    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.

    Noise levels: Highway and train sounds can be noticeable at some campgrounds. "Can hear highway traffic....a lot. Small campsites, very close to neighbors. Fairly steep grade, especially right out our camper door was a big drop off," notes GW C. about Jellystone Park.

    Tips for camping with families

    Kid-focused activities: Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Resort At Six Flags offers programmed children's entertainment. "Great kids activities! Good breakfast and nice store. Really enjoyed our trip bundled with a Six Flags trip," shares Erin P.

    Playground access: Look for campgrounds with dedicated play areas. "You are a stones throw away from Katy trail which will take you to downtown St. Charles. The trail is about 1.5-2 miles to get to downtown. You can bike or walk there," explains Brian A. about Sundermeier RV Park.

    Family-friendly trails: Select campgrounds with short, manageable trails for young hikers. "There are two trail heads on opposite sides of the camping lot, and the trails were well marked," notes Annie C. about Greensfelder County Park.

    Tips from RVers

    Hookup variations: Sundermeier RV Park provides concrete pads with full hookups near downtown St. Charles. "This is a easy to access, quite campground. Full hookups, concrete pads. No firepits. Close to a bunch of stuff. Fast wifi," reports Aaron A.

    Site challenges: Some campgrounds have uneven terrain requiring additional equipment. "The spots are a little close together and not many trees but I've been to worse. The not many trees is due to it still being a fairly new campground," explains Barbie B. about St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park.

    RV storage options: Long-term parking and storage options exist near Valley Park. "This is well maintained park with plenty of activities and close to all the luxuries that a town can offer, lots of amenities nearby or on site," says Lucas M. about his experience at one of the dog friendly campgrounds near Valley Park.
