RJM Camping and RV

15 RV Sites

RJM Camping and RV in Wright City, MO, offers 15 RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 50 feet. Sites are back-ins carrying water and electric — there's no sewer at the site, so plan on the on-site dump station. The property is gated and rated big rig friendly, with a community fire pit and walking trails. Pets are welcome. The lots are fully rocked, which matters more than it sounds after a wet week. The appeal is seclusion: private sites on a quiet rural property with a pond, a shared fire pit, picnicking, and the kind of dark sky that makes stargazing worth staying up for. Wright City sits in the gently rolling countryside of Warren County, 45 miles west of St. Louis via Interstate 70 — close enough to the highway to be practical, far enough off it to be quiet. Rates and availability are on the booking page. With 15 sites, calling ahead is worth the minute on a holiday weekend.

RJM One RV

4 RV Sites

RJM One RV in Wright City, Missouri, offers spacious back-in RV sites measuring 80 by 20 feet with 30 and 50-amp water and electric service, sized for rigs to 80 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Open all year on a quiet property along the I-70 corridor between St. Louis and Columbia, with a scenic pond and community fire pit. Back-in sites carry 30 and 50-amp electric and water hookups on fully rocked pads measuring 80 by 20 feet, with picnic tables and fire rings — note there are no sewer hookups at the sites, so plan tank capacity for a longer stay. The 80-foot length and rocked surface handle big rigs comfortably in any weather. This is an intentionally small park, so call ahead rather than counting on a space. Pets are welcome. A scenic pond and a community fire pit fill the grounds, with picnicking in the surrounding forest. The proposition is a clean, well-lit, thoughtfully managed overnight from attentive owners — the sort of experience the I-70 corridor's best small independent parks deliver more personally than their larger corporate counterparts, and the reason travelers pick this over a highway travel center. Wright City sits in Warren County on I-70, roughly midway between St. Louis and Columbia, which makes it a natural stop for anyone crossing Missouri. The park operates year-round, with summer travel driving the heaviest interstate traffic and the shoulder seasons offering easier availability. Given the small site count, reserve ahead for holiday weekends and any stay you cannot flex.

Pin Oak RV Resort

144 RV Sites, 5 Cabins

Pin Oak RV Resort in Villa Ridge, Missouri, is a full-hookup resort with cabin rentals, an outdoor pool, a lake with a beach, a recreation center and mini-golf, 40 miles west of St. Louis on the historic Route 66 corridor. Sites take rigs up to 65 feet, and each site allows a maximum of eight people. Full-hookup RV sites accommodate rigs to 65 feet. Cabin rentals serve guests traveling without an RV, and personal mailboxes and on-site laundry support the longer-stay and seasonal guests the resort draws. A general store stocks camp basics, propane fills and firewood are available, and bathrooms and showers are on site. WiFi reaches the property. No wristbands are required to use the amenities; visitors pay $10 per car and check in at the office, and they are welcome to use the pool and other facilities. On-site recreation is the resort's strength. An outdoor pool and a lake with its own beach cover the swimming season, and fishing is available on the property's lake and pond. Mini-golf, a ball field, sports courts, basketball, volleyball, horseshoes and shuffleboard spread across the grounds, with an arcade, ping pong and a craft room in the recreation center for indoor days. Walking and hiking trails run the property, a playground and a covered pavilion serve families and groups, and a fenced dog park is on site. Pets are welcome. Meramec Caverns is 10 miles east in Stanton — a 4.6-mile cave system with five stories of limestone formations and the barn-billboard advertising legacy that made it Route 66's most pre-advertised roadside stop. The Meramec River sustains one of Missouri's most actively paddled float corridors, and Hermann's German-heritage wineries are 35 miles west. Pin Oak operates year-round. Spring and fall are the most comfortable seasons for Route 66 driving, cave touring and Meramec floating, and the winter months carry steady snowbird traffic using I-44 south. Reserve ahead for summer peak and for the April-to-October float season.

Meramec Campground

30 RV Sites

Meramec Campground in Stanton, Missouri, offers 30 full-hookup pull-through RV sites along the Meramec River, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 87 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, open all year. Full-hookup and water-and-electric pull-through categories mean no backing at any site, with an outdoor pool, pond, and general store. Thirty sites span pull-thru, pull-thru water-and-electric 30/50-amp, and pull-thru water-and-electric 30-amp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 87 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric categories do not carry sewer at the site. An all-pull-through layout at 87 feet accommodates anything on the road. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, and restrooms handle the practical side. If you arrive at night with a reservation, your name will be on an envelope by the front door with a map and your site details inside. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a pond for fishing, an arcade, playground, community fire pit, and dog park filling the rest. Canoeing, kayaking, hiking, biking, and swimming run on the river. Pets are welcome. Franklin County sits where the Meramec's spring-fed limestone clarity meets the forested Ozark foothills, and Meramec Caverns — Missouri's most famous cave system and a Route 66 landmark — is right here. Float trips, Meramec State Park, and St. Louis an hour east round it out. Summer float season drives demand. Reserve well ahead.

Blue Springs Ranch

142 RV Sites, 33 Cabins, 65 Tent Sites

Blue Springs Ranch in Bourbon, Missouri, offers 142 RV sites, 33 cabins, and 65 tent sites on a spring-fed Ozarks property in Crawford County, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 65 feet. A zip line, horseback riding, kayak and boat rentals, and spring-fed swimming run on site, and the ranch is open all year. One hundred forty-two sites run in back-in, water-and-electric back-in, and pull-through configurations carrying 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 65 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Thirty-three cabins and 65 tent sites make this one of the larger and more varied properties in the Missouri Ozarks. A general store, laundry, dump station, RV storage, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. The spring water is the difference. Constant clear cold water feeds the creek and ponds, setting the ranch apart from the warm-water lake resorts that dominate Missouri summer camping. Swimming, kayaking, paddle boats, boating, and fishing all run from the property, with kayak and boat rentals on site, plus a zip line, horseback riding, paddle boarding, an outdoor pool, and a beach. A playground, pavilion, and barn round out the grounds, with planned activities through the season and strong birding in the surrounding timber. The ranch also operates as a wedding venue. Pets are welcome. You can reserve a cabin or campsite any time of year, and groups can be accommodated year-round with notice. Note that floating and trail rides close from October 31 through April 15 — worth checking if either is central to your trip. Summer is peak for the spring-fed water. Reserve well ahead.

Ozark Outdoors Resort

Few Ozark destinations pack as much river adventure into a single address as Ozark Outdoors Resort, a sprawling riverfront property on the Meramec that has been welcoming families to Leasburg, Missouri, since 1960. The resort lines one and a half miles of the Meramec's scenic banks with more than 200 RV sites, motel rooms, cabins, and tent sites—enough variety to accommodate any travel style under the towering hardwoods and limestone bluffs that define this corner of Crawford County. A full roster of water-based recreation, aerial adventure, and evening dining ensures guests rarely need to leave the property once they've settled in. RV sites range from primitive to full hookup with 20/30/50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer, and a picnic table and fire ring accompany each site regardless of hookup level. Cabin options span rustic Country Log Cabins and Deluxe Kozy Cabins to motel rooms, condos, and group retreat lodging, giving the resort the flexibility to host family reunions, corporate outings, and church groups as easily as solo travelers. The Meramec Mercantile supplies camping essentials on-site, while the Paddlers Bar and Grill serves seasonal meals and cold drinks at the water's edge. Float trips on the Meramec, Courtois, and Huzzah Rivers form the beating heart of the Ozark Outdoors experience, with canoe, kayak, raft, and tube rentals available for half-day or multi-day journeys through crystalline Ozark spring-fed water. For those who prefer their adventure overhead, the Floating Treetops Aerial Park delivers 36 unique challenge elements across six ziplines suspended among the forest canopy—a course that engages first-time climbers and seasoned adventure seekers alike. Sand volleyball, horseshoes, and a swimming pool add land-based options when the river crowd thins in the late afternoon. The Meramec River corridor hosts some of Missouri's most spectacular cave country, with Onondaga Cave State Park just upstream offering guided boat and lantern tours through one of the Midwest's finest show caves. Meramec State Park, a few miles east on Highway 185, provides additional hiking trails, cave tours, and a family aquatic center popular with summer visitors. The resort's position between St. Louis—about 75 miles northeast—and the Missouri Ozarks interior makes it a natural launching point for exploring the Salem Plateau, Ozark National Scenic Riverways, and the Current River corridor to the south. Float trip season runs April through October, with June and July delivering the warmest water and the most festive atmosphere on the Meramec, when the resort's campground fills with the laughter of families who have made the Ozark Outdoors float trip an annual tradition. Spring and fall bring lower crowds, quieter campsites, and a more contemplative Ozark experience for those who prefer their river adventure without holiday weekend energy. Reservations are strongly recommended for summer weekends and holiday blocks—the combination of riverfront camping and the Floating Treetops aerial park draws visitors from across the Midwest, and popular cabin styles book months in advance.

Candy Cane RV Park & Campground

9 RV Sites, 3 Tent Sites

Candy Cane RV Park & Campground in Steelville, Missouri, offers nine full-hookup RV sites and three tent sites three minutes from downtown, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. An outdoor pool, mini-golf, and a family-owned operation that charges nothing extra for the shower house or dump station make this an intentionally small-scale Ozarks stop. Nine sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30-amp back-in and 50-amp pull-through configurations, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Three tent sites cover simpler camping. Laundry, restrooms, showers, a dump station, and WiFi handle the practical side — and the shower house and dump station carry no charge, which small family-owned Ozark campgrounds maintain as a point of hospitality. An outdoor pool anchors the warm months, with an 18-hole miniature golf course, sports courts, basketball, volleyball, and a pavilion filling the grounds. Swimming, fishing, hiking, and picnicking run from the area, with live music through the season and a state park nearby. Pets are welcome. Steelville sits in the Meramec River valley at the heart of the Missouri Ozarks, where spring-fed streams, float rivers, and karst geology of the Salem Plateau created Missouri's float-trip camping culture. The Meramec River is five miles away and Meramec Spring Park — with its natural spring, trout hatchery, and trail system — is ten minutes out. Downtown Steelville's restaurants, including Rich's Famous Burgers and the Spare Rib Inn, are three minutes from the sites. Float season drives summer demand. With nine sites, reserve well ahead for any warm-weather weekend.

Bagnell Dam, the Grand Glaize arm, and the lake's restaurant and marina infrastructure are all close. Summer lake season drives the heaviest demand and fills the corridor. Reserve well ahead for Memorial Day through Labor Day, with far easier availability in the spring and fall.
