Camping near Crocker, Missouri
Crocker is a small town in Pulaski County, Missouri, sitting on a ridge north of the Gasconade River and east of Tavern Creek. It is served by Missouri routes 17 and 133, and lies within easy reach of Interstate 44, Fort Leonard Wood, Waynesville, St. Robert, and Lebanon. Most RV travelers use Crocker as a base for float trips, fishing, and Ozark scenery along the Gasconade and nearby Big Piney rivers.
The Gasconade is one of the longest rivers entirely within Missouri and is known as one of the world's crookedest rivers, full of twists and turns. Tall bluffs, gravel bars, and a remote feel suit canoeing, kayaking, and multi-day floats. Anglers target smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, and catfish, and gravel bars along the upper and middle river are commonly used for informal riverside camping.
Private riverfront campgrounds cluster along the Gasconade and Big Piney within a short drive of Crocker. Ruby's Landing, Gasconade Hills Resort, and Boiling Spring Campground LLC sit directly on the water with float-trip liveries, while Lamplight Lane RV Resort at Glen Oaks near Waynesville offers full-hookup sites off I-44, and Cedar Mere Riverside near Dixon provides a small, private stay on the Big Piney River.
Things to do near Crocker
Floating is the signature activity. Outfitters at Ruby's Landing, Gasconade Hills Resort, and Boiling Spring Campground LLC rent canoes, kayaks, rafts, tubes, and jon boats for trips on the Gasconade and Big Piney rivers. Ruby's Landing offers a 5-mile float in kayaks, canoes, or rafts. Gravel bars along the upper and middle Gasconade are popular for lunch stops and swimming.
Fishing is strong for smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, and catfish on the Gasconade, and rainbow trout at Bennett Spring State Park west of Lebanon, where trout fishing is permitted daily from March 1 through Oct. 31, with a winter catch-and-release season from the second Friday in November to the second Monday in February. Hiking includes multiple trails at Bennett Spring, including the Natural Tunnel route.
Families staying near Fort Leonard Wood can visit the Mahaffey Museum Complex, the Old Stagecoach Stop Museum in Waynesville, and the Trail of Tears Memorial at Roubidoux Springs.

Late spring through early fall is the core RV season. River outfitters run peak float-trip schedules from Memorial Day through Labor Day, and weekends fill quickly at riverfront campgrounds along the Gasconade and Big Piney. Summer highs commonly reach the upper 80s Fahrenheit, so shaded riverside sites and swimming access are prized.
Spring brings the wettest stretch of the year in the Rolla-Vichy area, and river levels can rise quickly after heavy rain. Fall is a favorite window for floating and fishing: crowds thin after Labor Day, temperatures cool into the 60s and 70s, and oak and hickory foliage typically peaks in mid to late October along the Gasconade bluffs.
Winter is cold and quiet, with January highs in the low 40s and lows in the mid-20s, and occasional snow. Some seasonal river outfitters scale back, though Lamplight Lane RV Resort at Glen Oaks provides full-hookup sites for RVs year-round near Fort Leonard Wood for travelers on I-44.
How to book campgrounds near Crocker
Most campgrounds around Crocker are privately operated and booked directly by phone or through the property's own website. Ruby's Landing, Gasconade Hills Resort, and Boiling Spring Campground LLC handle their own reservations and pair site bookings with float-trip and cabin rentals. Cedar Mere Riverside is a small riverside property and books quickly, so early reservations are recommended.
Lamplight Lane RV Resort at Glen Oaks takes reservations directly and has full hookups with 30/50-amp service and is open all year. For Missouri state park camping, including Bennett Spring State Park to the west, reservations are made through the Missouri State Parks system.
For holiday weekends, Railroad Days in Crocker, and peak float weekends in June and July, book eight or more weeks ahead. Confirm rig length, hookup type, and river access details when reserving, since some access roads are gravel and can be steep.
What to expect on the ground
Sites along the Gasconade and Big Piney tend to be gravel or grass with picnic tables, fire grills, and water and electric hookups. Ruby's Landing has RV sites on and off the water, primitive sites with electric, cabins, rafts, kayaks, canoes, and tubes, and runs a 5-mile float on the Gasconade River. Boiling Spring Campground has RV and tent sites, cabins, and direct river access for swimming and floating.
Lamplight Lane RV Resort at Glen Oaks is accessible via gravel roads off I-44 at exit 153, accommodates larger rigs including 42-foot fifth wheels, has electric, water, and sewer hookups on gravel surfaces, and sits close enough to I-44 that highway noise is audible. Cedar Mere Riverside is reached by a gravel access road that requires care with larger pull-behinds.
Cell coverage is generally usable near I-44 and Waynesville but can drop in river valleys. Bring water shoes, sun protection, and life jackets for river days, and watch for ticks in wooded areas.
