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. Your per-person camping fee includes access to the Water Zone, the RV park pool, theme weekends, and hourly activities listed in the campers app. The recreation is the full Yogi Bear program: a water park with a lazy river and splash pad, an outdoor pool, mini-golf, laser tag, a jumping pillow, gaga ball, a recreation center, sport courts, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, corn hole, gold panning, a snack bar, a bar, and live music. 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.

Kirksville, MO

Lakeroad Village RV Park

11 RV Sites

Lakeroad Village RV Park in Kirksville, MO, offers 11 RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 85 feet. Sites come in two types: full-hookup back-in 30/50-amp sites carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi and a picnic table, and dry back-in sites for guests who don't need hookups. At 85 feet the sites take a longer rig than nearly anything else in the region. Laundry and a bathhouse with showers are on the property, and pets are welcome. The grounds are quiet and well kept rather than programmed, with picnicking and genuinely dark rural sky for stargazing. Kirksville sits in Adair County in northeast Missouri's rolling farm country, near Thousand Hills State Park, the aquatic center, and West Winery at Jackson Stables, with Truman State University giving the town its rhythm. Rates for full-hookup and dry sites are on the booking page. Ask about extended-stay rates if you're in town for a semester or a project.

Wright City, MO

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.
