Fireside Resort Campground

15 RV Sites, 1 Cabin, 2 Onsite RV/Trailers

Fireside Resort Campground in Greenville, Ohio, offers 17 RV sites and a cabin in Darke County's western Ohio farmland, with 30 and 50-amp water-and-electric service and rigs accepted to 50 feet. A pond with a beach, a jumping pillow, and — unusually — an on-site storm shelter round out a small wooded resort, with RV rentals available for guests without a rig. Seventeen sites carry water and electric on 30 or 50-amp in back-in and pull-through configurations, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Note there are no sewer hookups at the sites, though a dump station is available. Transcend and Zinger RV rentals plus a cabin serve guests arriving without equipment. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side, and a storm shelter is on site — a genuinely reassuring feature in western Ohio. An emergency phone sits in the camp store hallway by the restrooms. Check-in is 3pm and check-out 11am; all guests must stop at the camp store before going to their site. A pond with a beach anchors the on-site recreation, with swimming, fishing, and a jumping pillow for families. Sports courts, basketball, walking trails, hiking, biking, and picnicking fill the grounds, with a community fire pit for evenings, on-site dining, and planned activities through the season. The dark rural sky makes for good stargazing, and the property also serves as a wedding venue. Pets are welcome. Greenville sits in the upper Great Miami River valley, with Annie Oakley heritage sites, Fort Jefferson, and Fort Recovery all within day-trip range. Summer is peak — reserve ahead for weekends at a 17-site property.

Hickory Haven Campground

50 Tent Sites

Situated on 27 shaded acres just north of Keokuk, Iowa, Hickory Haven Campground has built a devoted following since 1993 by offering a well-rounded, family-friendly camping experience at the confluence of the Des Moines and Mississippi Rivers—one of the most historically significant waterways in the American Midwest. Half a mile off Highway 61/218 with quick access to both the river corridor and Keokuk's attractions, the campground combines full hookup sites, a well-equipped pavilion, and a range of activities that make it easy to fill a long weekend without leaving the property. The river culture of southeastern Iowa surrounds the entire experience. Full hookup sites are shaded and well-maintained, with water, electric, and sewer hookups, picnic tables, and clean restrooms complemented by laundry facilities and a general store. A pavilion equipped with a fridge, griddle, BBQ grill, and gas fire pit makes group gatherings comfortable, and outdoor movie nights with popcorn add a social dimension to summer evenings. Walking trails wind through the property's wooded terrain, and a serene fishing pond provides immediate angling access. Pickleball courts, cornhole, a playground, a dog park, EV charging, and community fire pits round out an unusually complete amenity package for a property of this size. The natural setting of southeastern Iowa has a quiet, river-valley beauty that rewards attention. The campground's heavy shade canopy—hickories, oaks, and cottonwoods—creates a cool, dappled atmosphere even on hot summer days, and the sounds of the property carry the character of a Midwestern camping tradition that goes back generations. Stargazing from the campground on clear nights is excellent, and the general pace of the grounds is unhurried in a way that contrasts pleasantly with busier resort destinations. Keokuk sits at the confluence of the Des Moines and Mississippi Rivers and offers genuine historical depth. Lock and Dam No. 19, the largest lock on the entire Mississippi River system, is a local landmark worth visiting for the engineering spectacle alone. The Mississippi River National Wildlife Refuge flanks the corridor with outstanding birding—bald eagles winter along the Keokuk stretch in impressive numbers—and the broader Great River Road connects to river towns in both directions. Mark Twain's hometown of Hannibal, Missouri, is less than an hour south for a deeper dive into Mississippi River literary and cultural history. Hickory Haven Campground is a warm-weather operation that books up for summer weekends through a combination of loyal returning guests and destination campers drawn to the river country. The combination of full hookups, recreational amenities, a shaded natural setting, and proximity to the Mississippi makes it a standout campground in an often-overlooked corner of Iowa. Whether you're following the Great River Road, exploring the lock and dam culture of the upper Mississippi, or simply looking for a well-run campground with good shade and solid amenities, Hickory Haven delivers. Reserve your site and discover what southeastern Iowa's river country has to offer.

RJM Camping and RV

15 RV Sites

In the gently rolling countryside of Warren County, Missouri, 45 miles west of St. Louis via Interstate 70, RJM Camping and RV in Wright City offers five secluded private sites on a quiet property with fully rocked lots, a community pond, a shared fire pit, and the kind of genuine rural peace that the St. Louis suburban sprawl has consumed across much of the region's hinterland. At $19 per night with 30 and 50-amp electric and water hookups, the park provides remarkable value for travelers who appreciate simplicity, privacy, and the natural character of the Mark Twain country along the Missouri River corridor. There is no dump station on property; plan accordingly. Five individual, fully rocked sites provide the solid, level foundation that protects RVs during extended stays, with 30 and 50-amp electric and water hookup service at each site. Security cameras throughout the property provide reassurance for guests settling in after dark or parking for extended periods. A community pond and shared fire pit create a natural social gathering point where guests meet and evenings unfold at a pace appropriate to a five-site property in the Missouri countryside. The absence of a dump station is the property's significant limitation—guests must use nearby dump facilities or maintain their black and gray capacity within what the stay allows. The low nightly rate reflects both the simplicity and the genuine value proposition of this small private park. Wright City sits in Warren County's rolling agricultural landscape east of the Missouri River's great bend, where the Salem Plateau uplands drain into the Missouri via Cuivre River tributaries that have cut through the dolomite and limestone bedrock to create the wooded creek valleys that define the region's natural character. The surrounding countryside is classic Missouri small-farm landscape—row crops, cattle pastures, and patches of timber along the creek bottoms—with the Interstate 70 corridor providing convenient commercial access while the county roads north of town deliver immediate rural quiet. White-tailed deer, wild turkeys, and great blue herons are reliable sightings in the riparian corridors near the campground. Cuivre River State Park, 12 miles north in Troy, protects 6,231 acres of rugged, wooded Ozark Border landscape along the Cuivre River's main channel—one of the finest state parks in Missouri and an exceptional day-trip destination from Wright City for hiking, fishing, canoeing, and wildlife observation. The Katy Trail, Missouri's 240-mile crushed limestone rail-trail conversion of the Missouri Pacific Railroad grade along the Missouri River, is accessible within easy driving range for cyclists who want to experience one of America's longest and most scenic rail-trails. The Missouri wine country of Augusta and Defiance—two of the state's oldest and most celebrated wine-producing communities—sits along the Katy Trail just east of Wright City, with Montelle Winery, Augusta Brewing, and Stone Hill Winery's Augusta location offering excellent tasting rooms in a river bluff setting that rewards the drive. RJM is best suited for the independent traveler who values simplicity, privacy, and low cost over resort amenities, and who plans to spend their time exploring the exceptional recreation, wine country, and natural areas of the St. Louis exurban corridor rather than sitting at camp. St. Louis, 45 minutes east on I-70, provides the full complement of a major American city's cultural, sports, and dining offerings. Book your site at RJM Camping and RV and let Warren County's quiet countryside and the outstanding recreation of Missouri's Cuivre River and wine country make it a genuinely rewarding stop on the I-70 corridor.
