Missouri Campground Fees, Hookups & Reservations
No fee data in the federal directory. We report the reservable-vs-first-come split by agency; nightly fees and hookup specifics live on each campground's Recreation.gov page. Federal coverage only.
Missouri has 82 federal campgrounds managed by the National Forest Service and Army Corps of Engineers. Of these, 80 campgrounds operate on a reservation system through Recreation.gov, while 2 operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Reservations for the majority of Missouri's federal campgrounds can typically be made in advance through Recreation.gov, allowing visitors to secure their preferred dates and sites ahead of arrival.
Fees and RV hookup availability vary significantly across Missouri's federal campgrounds and must be checked individually on each facility's Recreation.gov page. The federal directory does not provide standardized fee amounts or hookup specifications. Visitors planning to camp should visit each campground's dedicated Recreation.gov listing to confirm current pricing, available hookups, and other site-specific amenities before making reservations or planning their trip.
Where fees and hookups actually live
The federal directory tracks who manages a campground, how many sites it has and whether it's reservable — but not nightly fees or RV hookups, which differ site to site. For those, open the campground's Recreation.gov page, where current fees, hookup types and the reservation window are listed.
| Managing agency | Reservable | First-come |
|---|---|---|
| U.S. Army Corps of Engineers | 57 | 2 |
| U.S. Forest Service | 14 | 0 |
| National Park Service | 9 | 0 |
Common questions
Do Missouri federal campgrounds have RV hookups?
Some do and some don't — hookup availability isn't in the federal directory data, so check each campground's Recreation.gov page for water, electric and sewer details.
How much does it cost to camp?
Fees vary by facility and aren't part of the federal export, so we don't quote a price. Each Recreation.gov facility page shows its current nightly fee.
