RV camping near Clarkton, Missouri
Clarkton sits in Dunklin County in the Missouri Bootheel, a flat farming region tucked into the state's southeastern corner near the Arkansas and Tennessee lines. RV travelers use the town as a low-cost overnight stop between St. Louis and Memphis, or as a jumping-off point for the Mississippi River and Reelfoot Lake.
Campground options in the immediate area lean small and utilitarian rather than resort-style. Corner Storage and RV Hook-Ups and Willow RV Park serve travelers looking for a basic hookup site close to town, while Bullwinkles Lounge Rustic Lodge- RV Park offers a roadside lodge-and-park combination. Century Casino and RV Park in Caruthersville is open year-round with concrete pull-through and back-in pads along the Mississippi River next to the casino property.
For a state-park experience with a lake and hiking, travelers commonly drive across the state line to South - Reelfoot Lake State Park in Tiptonville, Tennessee, roughly 30 to 40 minutes east.
Things to do near Clarkton
Water access drives most trip planning in this area. Reelfoot Lake, created by a series of violent earthquakes in 1811 to 1812 that caused the Mississippi River to flow backwards, is known for its partially submerged cypress forest and exceptional fishing for crappie, bluegill, bass, and catfish. Kayaks and canoes are rented by the hour or daily, year-round, from the Camp Store in the South Campground, and the campground offers interpretive programs during summer.
Wildlife viewing is a major draw in winter. Held daily in January and February, the eagle tours celebrate the park's resident eagle population and highlight in excess of 200 migrating eagles that nest in the area over the winter months. Closer to Clarkton, the Mississippi River frontage at Century Casino and RV Park offers barge-watching and on-site casino gaming.

Summers in the Bootheel are long, hot, and muggy, and winters are cold and wet. April and May are typically the strongest months for RV travel, with mild temperatures, wildflowers, and peak spring fishing at Reelfoot Lake. This is also when reservations tighten: the South Campground at Reelfoot Lake is extremely busy during April and May.
Summer brings heat, humidity, and mosquitoes, especially at lakeside sites near cypress swamps. Travelers with children in June through August should plan for early-morning outdoor activity and full hookups so the AC can run through the afternoon.
Fall is a second sweet spot, with mid-September through October offering comfortable days and thinning crowds. Winter camping is possible: Reelfoot Lake and Century Casino and RV Park both stay open year-round, and the winter eagle tours are the main seasonal draw. Occasional ice storms and freezing rain can hit the region, so watch forecasts if traveling in January.
Booking and reservations for Clarkton
Reservation systems vary sharply by property. Tennessee State Parks handles South - Reelfoot Lake State Park bookings up to one year in advance, with a non-refundable Advanced Reservation Fee per campsite, and most campsites require a minimum of a 2-night stay. Cancellations two or more days before arrival receive a refund minus the reservation fee, while cancellations one day prior forfeit the first night.
Century Casino and RV Park in Caruthersville is open year-round, located on the Mississippi River with access to the casino floor, and discounts apply for guests signed up for the loyalty program. Sites are typically arranged through the Winners' Zone desk by phone.
Smaller local operators such as Corner Storage and RV Hook-Ups, Willow RV Park, and Bullwinkles Lounge Rustic Lodge- RV Park generally take direct phone bookings. Call ahead in spring and during Reelfoot Lake events.
What to expect on arrival in Clarkton
Sites in the Clarkton area are practical rather than scenic. Expect level paved or concrete pads at the casino and state park, gravel at smaller private operators, and full or partial hookups depending on the property. Century Casino and RV Park offers 18 pull-through pads with 75-foot concrete, 9 back-in pads with 35-foot concrete, 30 and 50 amp hookups, water and sewer, a laundry room, restrooms and showers, a dump station, and 24-hour security.
The South Campground at Reelfoot Lake has 86 paved campsites with 20/30/50 amp electrical and water hookups, three bathhouses (two with hot showers and one with laundry and a dishwashing area), and a dump station at the entrance. Cell coverage is reliable along the I-55 corridor but can drop in low-lying river and lake pockets. Bring bug spray from late spring through early fall, and expect quiet hours in campgrounds between 10:00 pm and 6:00 am.
