4 campgrounds with availability next weekend
Several RV parks surround Parkville, Missouri with varied amenities and settings. Worlds of Fun Village provides concrete pads with full hookups and 50-amp service, operating from March through October. Basswood Country RV Resort, located 15 miles northwest of Parkville, accommodates big rigs with water, sewer and electric connections. "The sites were gravel and level with FHU," noted one camper about Walnut Grove RV Park, which has 50 sites available year-round with both 30-amp and 50-amp connections. Campus RV Park in Independence offers 37 sites with full hookups, though reviews mention the spaces can feel tight for larger rigs.
Throughout the Kansas City area, most RV parks require reservations, particularly during summer months and local events. While downtown-adjacent parks like Walnut Grove provide convenient urban access, they often have limited space between sites. According to one review, "Sites are very close to each other. I would estimate about 6 feet separated our camper from the RV next to us." Most parks provide standard amenities including sanitary dump stations, trash service, and drinking water. Pet policies vary by location, with some parks featuring designated dog areas. Cell service is generally reliable across the region, but Wi-Fi quality differs significantly between properties, with several reviews mentioning slow connections at certain parks.
"Located on the property there are RV sites and rental cabins. All RV sites were concrete with 50/30/20 amp, water and sewer. Back-in sites on rows 1 and 3 and pull through sites on row 2."
"Pay more for the pull through you’ll have tons of parking even if your rig is big. Our rig is 44 ft and we parked two 2500’s on the pad no problem."
from $300 / night

TravelerThe price is good. We paid just under 13usd for a basic primitive site. The bathrooms are limited and pretty rough as one might expect. Otherwise, we found it quiet, peaceful and pretty. Good location to Laurence and get a good coffee and donut.
GuideLots of big sites in Cornflower loop some shaded. Bathroom needs an update; I wouldn’t use the shower as too disgusting so can’t rate the water temperature.
TravelerVery nice clean campground. Paved roads, level gravel sites.
ScoutFree laundry, (only 1 washer & dryer per bath area) showers, and right on the lake. Has tent camping up to 14 days, and its pretty laid back and clean. Huge facilities, no electric for tent spots but they have it in bathrooms. Fire pits and picnic table. Buy 3- get 4 nights for seniors 62+.
ScoutHost was very nice, just outside city so access to what you need if you go north, access to hiking and country if you go south. I got concrete slab and full hookups. Showers and restrooms clean.
ScoutWe set up our little camper trailer in one of the primitive loops, backed into the trees. Access to the white and blue trail loops from the campground either via some rickety stairs or from a trail next to the cabins. Relatively close to the bathroom and shower house for water. Campsite was great, but the campground in general could use a little bit of trash pickup and general spiffing up
GuideVery crowded. Sites on top of each other and over priced for what it offers. Nice showers but only 2 for over a hundred sites. Would not recommend.
ScoutI went with my daughter. We had a wonderful time! It was a nice clean campsite well cared for. Just what you want for camping.
TravelerOur camp site was great! We stayed in Loop C and there’s bathrooms scattered all around the loop, pets welcome, no visitors past 10pm and no fires past midnight. Nice and peaceful and everyone around was courteous and friendly. 10/10 recommend staying here. Lots of acorns, if you stay under any trees so be aware! Also, there was sites that are one camper can fit in and other sites that have two right next to each other for family camping together!
