Basswood Resort

57 RV Sites, 5 Tent Sites

Basswood Resort in Platte City, Missouri, offers 57 full-hookup RV sites and five tent sites 30 minutes from downtown Kansas City, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 85 feet. Deluxe, premium, and standard back-in and pull-through categories join an outdoor pool, disc golf course, jumping pillow, and lake. Fifty-seven sites span standard back-in 20/30/50-amp, standard pull-thru 20/30/50-amp, standard, deluxe back-in, deluxe pull-thru, and premium back-in categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 85 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Eighty-five feet accommodates the longest coaches with a tow. Five tent sites, cabins, and trailer rentals round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, showers, and golf cart rentals handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a disc golf course, jumping pillow, fitness center, clubhouse, gaga ball, pickleball, basketball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, corn hole, walking trails, hiking, a lake, playground, and dog park filling the rest. Fishing and planned activities round it out, with a golf course, casino, and amusement park nearby. Platte County feels genuinely rural — livestock pastures, creek valleys, and Missouri hardwood forest — while keeping Kansas City's barbecue, jazz history, and professional sports 30 minutes away. Kansas City International Airport is close, which makes this practical for fly-in guests picking up a rig. Summer drives the heaviest demand, with spring and fall the most comfortable months. Reserve well ahead for warm-weather weekends and Kansas City event dates.

Timberline RV Campground

158 RV Sites, 10 Cabins, 7 Tent Sites

Timberline RV Campground in Waukee, Iowa, offers 158 RV sites, 10 cabins, and seven tent sites a mile and a half from I-80, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 70 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Full hookup and water-and-electric categories join a pool, jumping pillow, and pond, open all year. One hundred fifty-eight sites run in full hookup and water-and-electric categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 70 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Accessible sites are available. Ten cabins and seven tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, firewood, and recycling handle the practical side. If the office is closed when you arrive, call 515-987-1714 ahead and they will make arrangements. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a jumping pillow, recreation center, arcade, billiards, ping pong, sports courts, and volleyball filling the grounds. A pond supports fishing, with a playground, dog park, and community fire pit besides. Pets are welcome. The owners describe it as country camping with city convenience, and the geography backs that up — shaded sites in genuine Dallas County countryside, a mile and a half from the interstate and minutes from West Des Moines. Summer is the peak, with the interstate position bringing steady through-traffic year-round. Reserve ahead for summer weekends.

Oregon Trail RV Park - Westmoreland

5 RV Sites

Oregon Trail RV Park in Westmoreland, Kansas, offers full-hookup RV sites with 50-amp service on a big-rig-friendly layout in the Pottawatomie County countryside, with sites sized to 45 feet and fire pits throughout. Back-in water-and-electric, full-hookup back-in, and pull-through configurations are all available, along with a playground, pavilion, and dog park. Sites run in back-in water-and-electric, back-in full-hookup with sewer, and pull-through water-and-electric configurations, all carrying 50-amp service and sized to 45 feet, with fire pits. The big-rig-friendly layout accommodates larger coaches, and a dump station serves guests on partial hookups. Restrooms, showers, and WiFi handle the practical side. Note that site inventory here is small — confirm availability rather than arriving on spec. On-site amenities suit families and longer stops. A playground and pavilion anchor the grounds, a dog park gives pets their own space, and volleyball and swimming fill out the recreation. The small scale is the character of the place, and the surrounding Flint Hills countryside is quiet in a way that larger highway parks are not. Pets are welcome. Westmoreland sits on Rock Creek in the rolling Flint Hills transition country of northeastern Kansas, along the historic Oregon Trail corridor. Roughly 500,000 emigrants crossed this prairie between 1840 and 1869 on the overland migration that populated Oregon, California, and Utah, and the landscape between the Kaw River valley and the Platte corridor remains relatively unchanged. The park serves both brief stopovers on the northeastern Kansas highway network and longer countryside stays. Summer brings the heaviest travel demand — reserve ahead.

Double Nickel Campground

24 RV Sites

Double Nickel Campground in Waco, Nebraska, offers 24 full-hookup pull-through RV sites on the I-80 corridor, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 120 feet, behind a gated entrance. Categories are sized by rig — Big Rig, under 35 feet, and under 30 feet — with an outdoor pool, mini-golf, storm shelter, and recreation center. Twenty-four sites are pull-through throughout, spanning Big Rig, under 35 feet, and under 30 feet categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 120 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Sizing by rig class is genuinely fair, and 120 feet on an all-pull-through layout is exactly what a long-haul interstate stop should offer. The WiFi has been upgraded multiple times and carries good signal across the park. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. The storm shelter is a real safety feature in Nebraska rather than a marketing line. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with mini-golf, an arcade, recreation center, basketball, volleyball, gaga ball, horseshoes, a playground, and dog park filling the rest. Cabins are available, and a golf course is nearby. York County sits in the practical middle of Nebraska on I-80, which makes this one of the most useful stops on a long crossing — and enough on-site recreation that families from Lincoln and Omaha come for the weekend rather than just the night. Summer interstate traffic drives demand. Reserve ahead for holiday travel periods.

Acorns Resort

16 RV Sites, 4 Cabins

Acorns Resort in Milford, Kansas, offers 16 full-hookup RV sites and four cabins on Milford Lake, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 30 feet. Back-in and pull-through categories join a boat ramp, beach, fishing pier, outdoor pool, and kayak rentals. Sixteen sites run in back-in and pull-through categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 30 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. One thing to check carefully before booking: the 30-foot cap is genuinely restrictive and rules out most modern coaches, so this suits vans, small trailers, and truck campers. Four cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. A boat ramp, boat docks, boat rentals, and kayak rentals open the lake for boating, paddle boats, paddle boarding, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing, with a beach and fishing pier on the property. An outdoor pool, recreation center, walking trails, hiking, corn hole, and on-site dining fill the rest, with planned activities through the season and a golf course nearby. The property operates as a wedding venue. Milford Lake is Kansas's largest body of water at more than 15,000 surface acres, and the cedar and oak canopy shading the grounds gives Acorns a genuinely wooded character that is uncommon on the Plains. The Milford Nature Center and fish hatchery are close, with Fort Riley and Manhattan a short drive east. Summer lake season drives the heaviest demand. Reserve well ahead for June through August, and check your rig against the 30-foot limit.

Arrowhead Point RV Park & Cabins Campground

Arrowhead Point RV Park and Cabins in Osceola, Missouri, occupies a shore position on Harry S Truman Reservoir — the 55,600-acre Corps of Engineers lake on the Osage River in St. Clair County that serves as the primary water recreation destination for the southwest Missouri region between Kansas City and Springfield. The park's catch-and-release pond, pull-through full-hookup RV sites with high-speed Wi-Fi, cabin accommodations, and on-site paddleboard and billiards programming give guests a self-contained lakeside resort experience in a corner of Missouri that rewards those who find it with genuine lake recreation access, reasonable pricing, and the uncrowded atmosphere that a Truman Lake location tends to deliver compared to the more heavily trafficked Lake of the Ozarks to the northeast. Spacious pull-through full-hookup RV sites with high-speed Wi-Fi give the campground the practical infrastructure for comfortable extended stays, and the cabin rentals serve guests who want Truman Lake access without their own RV equipment. The catch-and-release pond provides an on-site fishing option for guests who want to wet a line within walking distance of their site, and paddleboarding on the pond offers water recreation without the boat launch logistics that the main reservoir access requires. The billiards room handles evening recreation when the lake-focused outdoor programming winds down. Pets are welcome. Harry S Truman Reservoir's 958 miles of shoreline through the Ozark border country of St. Clair, Benton, and Henry Counties provides a water recreation environment of substantial scale — bass fishing on Truman Lake, particularly largemouth and white bass, sustains a regional tournament fishing culture that draws competitive anglers from across Missouri and Kansas. The lake's size and relatively undeveloped shoreline character give fishing, water skiing, and cruising guests the uncrowded conditions that the smaller but more famous Lake of the Ozarks cannot consistently provide during peak summer seasons. Osceola's historic downtown, on the banks of the Osage River above the reservoir, preserves the character of a 19th-century Missouri river town with a courthouse square and the kind of settled small-city retail and dining environment that genuine lake communities — rather than purpose-built resort towns — develop organically over generations. The Harry S Truman State Park, on the reservoir's northeast arm, provides the primary Corps of Engineers managed public recreation area with boat launches, designated swimming areas, and developed campground facilities that complement the private resort experience at Arrowhead Point with public land access to the lake's best coves. Arrowhead Point RV Park and Cabins operates through the Truman Lake recreation season, with the primary water recreation window running from late May through Labor Day and the fishing season extending spring and fall with excellent bass activity during the pre-spawn and fall turnover periods that Missouri reservoir anglers specifically target. The Stockton Lake area to the southeast and the Pomme de Terre Lake to the east extend the southwest Missouri lake country day-trip range for guests interested in exploring the full Ozark lake system from an Osceola base. Reserve sites and cabins ahead for the Memorial Day weekend and summer holiday periods when Truman Lake's regional visitor market from the Kansas City and Springfield metros fills the available accommodation at lakeside properties.

Hickory Haven Campground

50 Tent Sites

Hickory Haven Campground near Keokuk, Iowa, offers full-hookup RV camping and 50 tent sites across 27 shaded acres, with EV charging, a general store, laundry, pond, walking trails, and pickleball. The property has built a devoted following since 1993 at the confluence of the Des Moines and Mississippi Rivers. RV sites carry full hookups. Contact the campground to confirm amp service, length limits, and current category availability for your rig — the published site records are incomplete. Fifty tent sites make this substantially a tent property. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, firewood, and EV charging handle the practical side — charging is still uncommon at campgrounds this size and worth knowing about if you tow with an electric vehicle. Ask about the Loyalty Club discount when you arrive. A pond supports fishing, with walking trails, hiking, a playground, pavilion, community fire pit, dog park, pickleball, corn hole, and genuinely good stargazing filling the rest. Planned activities run through the season. Pets are welcome. Twenty-seven shaded acres and more than thirty years under the same devoted following is the kind of continuity that says more than a feature list. Keokuk sits at Iowa's southeastern tip where the Des Moines River meets the Mississippi — one of the most historically significant confluences on the inland waterway. The Keokuk Lock and Dam is among the largest on the river, the eagle watching each January draws crowds, and the George M. Verity River Museum and the National Cemetery are both in town. Nauvoo, Illinois, and Mark Twain's Hannibal are within reach. Summer drives demand, with the January eagle season a distinct second wave. Reserve ahead for holiday weekends.

Jellystone Park™ Mark Twain Lake

7 RV Sites, 33 Cabins, 12 Tent Sites, 1 Lodge

Jellystone Park at Mark Twain Lake in Monroe City, MO, offers 7 full-hookup pull-through RV sites and 34 cabin and lodge rentals, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 45 feet. Every RV site is a pull-through carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. With 34 cabins against 7 RV sites, this is a cabin resort that also takes RVs, so book the pull-throughs early. Laundry, a general store, a boutique shop, firewood, golf cart rentals, and both RV and boat storage cover the practical side. Pets are welcome.

Monroe City sits on Mark Twain Lake, an 18,600-acre reservoir on the Salt River in the northeastern Missouri prairie. Rates are on the booking page. Seven pull-throughs at a resort this size means they go first.

Coconuts RV Resort

39 RV Sites, 5 Houses

Coconuts RV Resort in Gravois Mills, Missouri, is an adults-only property offering 39 full-hookup back-in RV sites and five houses on the Gravois Arm of Lake of the Ozarks, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet behind a gated entrance. Poolside and premium lakeview categories join a standard tier, with a swim-up bar, water park, splash pad, and marina. Thirty-nine back-in sites run in poolside, premium lakeview, and standard categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 50 feet. Naming categories poolside and lakeview tells you exactly where you will be. Five houses round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, showers, and golf cart rentals handle the practical side. One thing to know before booking: this is an adults-only resort, which is precisely why most guests choose it. The swim-up bar at the adult pool is the signature, with a water park, splash pad, beach, and marina alongside. Boat rentals open the lake for boating, water sports, and swimming, with a fitness center, sports courts, pickleball, biking, a playground, dog park, pavilion, and live music at Coconuts Bar and Grill filling the rest. The property sits at the 7-mile mark of the Gravois Arm, and it has built one of the most genuinely resort-oriented lakefront campground experiences in the Midwest — closer in feel to a Caribbean-styled beach club than a campground. Summer lake season drives demand hard. Reserve well ahead for Memorial Day through Labor Day.

Wilder Park

52 RV Sites, 6 Tent Sites

Wilder Park in Allison, Iowa, offers 51 RV sites and six tent sites across 88 acres, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet.

Six tent sites round out the accommodations. A dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side, and a storm shelter sits on the grounds — a genuine safety feature in Iowa.

Off-roading is nearby. Pets are welcome. Allison sits on Iowa Highway 3 in Butler County, and the park works as both a genuine destination and a practical overnight for travelers crossing the state. The J&C Grocery, Allison Variety Store, and municipal swimming pool are in town, with Waverly 25 minutes away, Cedar Falls 35, Mason City 60, and five golf courses in the area. Summer is peak. Reserve ahead for warm-weather weekends.
