St. Charles County Klondike Park

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

A short climb above the Katy Trail corridor puts campers at St. Charles County Klondike Park, a county-run tent camping area set among the wooded hills along the Missouri River outside Augusta. Sites are walk-in or drive-in, and the park stays open year-round, making it a practical overnight stop across multiple seasons.

Amenities are solid for the price. The park includes drinking water, restrooms, showers, and a shared camp kitchen that reviewers note is kept clean. Some sites sit close together, and a few are near the highway, where passing traffic can be audible into the late evening hours. Raccoons are notably active after dark, so food storage matters. No services are available inside the park, so stocking up beforehand in nearby towns is worth planning around.

The trails are a consistent draw. Families with kids and cyclists riding the Katy Trail both use the campground regularly, and the Missouri River is within reach for those who want it. Marty C. notes the park sits "in the heart of Missouri Wine Country," with wineries and restaurants along Highway 94 accessible from the area. Campers interested in camping near Augusta will find this one of the more affordable options in the region, at around ten dollars a night for tent sites. Cabins are also available for those who want a roof.

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.

SiteBest sites are above the trail and near the shower facilities.

Beautiful Park with Multiple Terrains

Campsites were great. Stayed at a walk-in site for a night and enjoyed it. Some sites are closer to the highway and cars flying down the road can make it hard to sleep but after midnight, they stopped. 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. 10/10 would recommend to anyone wanting to camp!
