      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

      Hickory Ridge Campground

      Staying in tent area with campervan. 26 dollars a night. Good spot. You do hear the highway a bit. Hosts are friendly and helpful. Bathhouse is basic but does the job.

      Graham Cave State Park Campground

      Graham Cave

      Graham Cave State Park could be a lovely campground but is in dire need of updating everything. The campsites are very uneven and the bathhouses are partially working. The campground host, however, was very friendly and diligent. The trails were well kept but unfortunately it was so dry the river was very low.

      Graham Cave State Park Campground

      Great overnight

      Hardly anyone here. On a Tuesday in October. Took a primitive site. Reasonable. Fairly quiet. Some ambient noise from i70

      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.

    Guide to Wentzville

    Cuivre River State Park Campground offers well-maintained hiking trails and spacious sites just north of Wentzville. The park lies within the Ozark border region at elevations ranging from 500-600 feet, creating varied terrain for hiking and exploration. Winter camping remains open with reduced services, while summer brings higher humidity and temperatures averaging in the upper 80s.

    What to do

    Kayak rentals at Lincoln Lake: At Cuivre River State Park Campground, visitors can enjoy water activities on Lincoln Lake. "This campground has a lake you can rent kayaks for. They have a small store at the check in booth. It also has an accessible fishing dock that is covered," notes Kayla S.

    Bike the Katy Trail: The 240-mile Katy Trail connects to several campgrounds in the area, offering easy access for cyclists. "The Katy trail borders the park for easy access to town. Beautiful views across a large farm field to the hills beyond with incredible sunsets," explains Sam C. from Beyond the Trail RV Park.

    Winter wildlife viewing: Cold weather camping near Wentzville provides unique opportunities. "Great well maintained state park right outside of St Louis. Park has an awesome trail system around the lake, and it looks like you can rent canoes/kayaks in the summer (was not open in the winter)," says Kyle R. about winter visits to Cuivre River.

    What campers like

    Diverse camping terrain: Klondike Park offers unique landscape features not found at other dog friendly campgrounds near Wentzville. "Beautiful park with multiple terrains... Trails are beautiful and perfect for families wanting to just come to a park for a day and hikers. Can't go wrong for a 10$ a night campsite with restrooms and water available," shares Jake K.

    Secluded spots for wildlife viewing: Naturalists appreciate the quieter camping experiences. "Campground is beautiful and very woodsy. We saw bunnies hopping around and when we first arrived to our site a deer was grazing nearby, such a bonus! No electricity but water was conveniently located right across from our site," reports Maria E. at Cuivre River State Park.

    Wine country proximity: Beyond the Trail RV Park offers convenient access to local wineries. "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," explains Jamie C.

    What you should know

    City camping conveniences: St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park offers urban amenities with a RecPlex membership for extended stays. "One couple I talked to was camping long term and they got a free membership to the St Peter's RecPlex recreation center with their long term spot (they said something about having to book a least a month out to get this perk)," mentions Annie C.

    Weather considerations: The Wentzville area experiences significant seasonal variations. "Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, they were not so keen on having tent campers. But they were very nice and gave me the general lowdown on this 'in the city' campground," Annie adds about 370 Lakeside Park during restrictions.

    Flood potential: Low-lying areas can experience periodic flooding. "One of the downsides to this location is that it is prone to flooding. It was out of commission for most of the summer of 2019 as the entire area was flooded," warns a reviewer about St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park.

    Tips for camping with families

    Pet-friendly cabin options: St. Charles County Klondike Park offers alternatives to tent camping for families with pets. "I will be renting a cabin later this week and will leave another review for the cabins the tent camping amenities and views are a solid 5 stars," mentions Jonathan P. about this pet-friendly campground near Wentzville.

    Wildlife precautions for food storage: Proper storage prevents unwanted visitors. "Make sure to store your food securely overnight - the racoons are pretty thick and hungry at night," advises Mike L. at Klondike Park.

    Water recreation options: Families can enjoy multiple water activities at many area campgrounds. "We love going here and watching the sunsets. This is a great place to kayak and camp if you don't want to drive that fare and live in the city," reports Lindsey C. about 370 Lakeside Park.

    Tips from RVers

    Hookup placements: Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Resort requires preparation for unusual utilities configuration. "Our water hook up and electric hookup was significantly far apart. May be site specific," warns GW C., offering useful advice for RVers visiting this dog-friendly campground option near Wentzville.

    Site selection strategy: Choose carefully between privacy and accessibility. "Some sites are closer to the highway and cars flying down the road can make it hard to sleep but after midnight, they stopped," notes Jake K. about site selection at Klondike Park.

    Seasonal RV considerations: Some parks have limited operations in winter. "Excellent little RV park behind a brewery. The Katy trail borders the park for easy access to town," explains Sam C. at Beyond the Trail RV Park, noting the all-seasons access to the trail despite seasonal closures elsewhere.
