Campgrounds near Maplewood, Missouri
Maplewood is an inner-ring suburb on the west side of St. Louis, sitting just off Interstate 64 and Interstate 44 and roughly six miles from the Gateway Arch. RV travelers use it as a base for the St. Louis metro because the region's interstates converge here, giving straight-shot access to campgrounds on both the Missouri and Illinois sides of the Mississippi.
Most RV parks that serve Maplewood are not inside the city limits. They cluster in the wider metro across the river in Illinois and along the interstate corridors south and east of downtown. Four interstates meet in St. Louis: I-44, I-64, I-55, and I-70, providing easy RV access from all directions to nearby camping and outdoor attractions.
Close-in options include Cahokia RV Parque and DraftKings at Casino Queen RV Park, both across the Mississippi in the Cahokia and East St. Louis area and within easy driving distance of downtown attractions. Belleville Mobile Home and RV Estates sits further east in Illinois, while Covered Bridge RV Park and Storage and Safari RV Park serve travelers looking for something outside the immediate urban core.
Things to do near Maplewood
Downtown St. Louis is the main draw. The Gateway Arch, the riverfront, Busch Stadium, and the free Saint Louis Zoo and Saint Louis Art Museum in Forest Park are all within a short drive of Maplewood. Travelers using a park on the Illinois side can reach the Arch grounds by way of MetroLink light rail across the river.
Outside the city, RV travelers reach several nearby natural areas. Smaller waterways south of the city, like the Meramec River, Big River, and Huzzah River, offer canoeing, fishing, and float trips, and Onondaga Cave State Park on the Meramec is known for its cave tours. Mark Twain National Forest sits southwest of the city with hiking trails and campgrounds, while north of the city, Cuivre River State Park has hiking and horseback-riding trails plus a lake for swimming.

The St. Louis area has four distinct seasons and a humid continental climate. Summers are hot and muggy, winters are cold with occasional snow, and skies are partly cloudy year round. Late spring through early fall is the core RV season, with private parks around Maplewood generally open year round and Missouri state park campgrounds busiest from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
Spring brings the wettest, most volatile weather. Clashes between air masses produce heavy rainfall, and afternoon thunderstorms continue into summer, though gradually less frequently. St. Louis sits east of the heart of Tornado Alley and is one of the metropolitan areas most affected by tornadoes, which are more likely in spring but sometimes occur in autumn as well.
Fall is often the most comfortable stretch, with warm days, cool nights, lower humidity, and drier weather than spring. Winter camping is possible at full-hookup parks, but expect hard freezes, occasional snow, and the need to manage tanks and water lines carefully.

We had a great time renting this camper! Ray was awesome to work with. He went over everything with us when we picked it up and was always quick to respond if we had any questions. The camper was really clean and had everything we needed for the weekend. It was great to get away with the family annd enjoy some time together without having to worry about anything. We had an awesome weekend, made some great memories, and will definitely be renting from Ray again! Do yourself a favor and take your family camping for a few days too. Unplug, enjoy the time together, and make some memories. You won’t regret it!

How to book near Maplewood
Private RV parks in the St. Louis metro, including Cahokia RV Parque, DraftKings at Casino Queen RV Park, Belleville Mobile Home and RV Estates, Covered Bridge RV Park and Storage, and Safari RV Park, book directly through the campground website or by phone, with some also listed on third-party reservation platforms. Summer weekends, Cardinals home stands, and major events downtown can fill riverfront and casino-adjacent sites quickly, so book well ahead.
For Missouri state park campgrounds within driving range, reservations go through the icampmo.com system. Missouri State Parks allow campsite reservations up to 12 months in advance, with the daily booking window opening at 7 a.m. Central Time. Reservable sites not taken in advance may still be available on a walk-up basis.
What to expect in Maplewood
Maplewood itself is urban, so RV travelers should plan to stage the rig at a metro-area park and drive or take transit into the city. Streets in Maplewood, Clayton, and the Central West End are not RV-friendly for parking or maneuvering. Parks on the Illinois side near the casino district put travelers within a MetroLink ride of the Arch.
Expect full hookups with 30 and 50 amp service at the private parks listed above, with pull-through sites more common at the interstate-adjacent locations. Summer humidity is heavy, so shade and air conditioning matter, and bug protection helps at river-bottom sites.
The region is prone to severe weather. Keep a NOAA weather radio or phone alerts active, and know the tornado shelter location at your campground, especially from March through June.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Maplewood, MO
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Maplewood, MO?
Good news: an RV rental in Maplewood is one of the most affordable ways to explore St. Louis and the Missouri Ozarks. On RVezy, travel trailers near Maplewood typically run $90 to $175 per night, Class C motorhomes range from $175 to $295, and luxury Class A motorhomes can reach $350+. Campervan rental in Maplewood tends to be the sweet spot for couples at around $125 to $200 per night. To score a cheap RV rental in Maplewood, book midweek (Sunday through Thursday), travel in April or October, and look for hosts offering weekly discounts. Pro tip: many Maplewood-area hosts waive delivery fees within a 25-mile radius, which saves you the hassle of picking up a big rig in the city.
visitmo.com/things-to-do/outdoors/campingDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Maplewood?
Great news: your regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Maplewood. Missouri's Class F driver's license covers personal RV use regardless of size, and per 12 CSR 10-24.305, recreational vehicles driven for personal use are exempt from Commercial Driver's License (CDL) requirements. You'll just need to be at least 25 years old to book on RVezy, and ID verification is handled directly through the platform when you book. Visiting from abroad? Bring an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your home-country license. Most first-time renters in Maplewood are surprised how simple it is, no special endorsements, no road test, just pack up and go.
dor.mo.gov/driver-license/What protection comes with my RV rental in Maplewood?
You're covered from the moment you book. Every RV rental in Maplewood on RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit I-44 or I-64 with real peace of mind. You choose your coverage level at checkout (not the host), and the plan helps cover physical damage to the RV during your trip. While it isn't a traditional insurance policy you purchase yourself, it provides meaningful financial protection if something unexpected happens on the road. Pro tip: snap a quick walk-around video at pickup and drop-off, it's the easiest way to document the RV's condition and keep your security deposit return smooth.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat's the cancellation policy if my plans change?
Booking with confidence is the whole point. RVezy applies a standard cancellation policy to every reservation, including a short money-back grace period right after you book so you're not locked in the moment you click confirm. Refund amounts depend on how far in advance you cancel, and RVezy (not individual hosts) handles the policy directly. You'll see the full cancellation details during checkout before you pay. Pro tip for Maplewood travelers: spring storms and the occasional late-winter ice event can shift plans, so book early when prices are lower and review the policy carefully so you know your options if you need to adjust.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Maplewood?
Absolutely, your dog is welcome on the road. Many RVezy hosts offer pet-friendly RV rental in Maplewood, just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter when you search and you'll see only the rigs that welcome furry co-pilots. Once you're rolling, Maplewood is a fantastic launch point for dog lovers: Deer Creek Park in Maplewood has open green space for a stretch before departure, and within 30 minutes you can be hiking with your pup at Castlewood State Park or the off-leash dog area at Queeny Park. Most Missouri state park campgrounds, including Babler and Robertsville, welcome up to two leashed dogs per site. Pro tip: pack a collapsible water bowl, Missouri summers get humid.
mostateparks.com/page/55072/pets-state-parksCan the RV be delivered to me instead of picking it up?
Yes, and it's genuinely one of the best parts of booking on RVezy. RV delivery in Maplewood is offered by many local hosts, who will drive the rig to your campground, driveway, or even directly to a state park site and handle the full setup: leveling, hookups, awning, the works. That means you don't have to drive a 30-foot motorhome through Maplewood's tight streets or navigate I-170 in rush hour your first time behind the wheel. Popular delivery spots include Babler State Park (about 30 minutes west) and Robertsville State Park (about 45 minutes southwest). Pro tip: filter for Delivery on RVezy and message the host to confirm fees, many include the first 25 miles free.
mostateparks.com/park/dr-edmund-babler-memorial-state-parkHow far can I drive, and is unlimited mileage available?
You've got real range from Maplewood. Each listing shows the host's daily mileage allowance (usually 100 to 150 free miles per day), and some hosts on RVezy offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, especially for longer bookings, just filter or message to ask. From Maplewood you can comfortably reach Lake of the Ozarks in about 2.5 hours (175 miles), Mark Twain National Forest in 2 hours (130 miles), Branson in 4.5 hours (260 miles), or Memphis in 4.5 hours (290 miles). Extra miles typically run $0.30 to $0.45 each if you go over. Pro tip: map your route before booking and pad it by 15%, you'll always end up taking a scenic detour through wine country along the Missouri River.
fs.usda.gov/mtnfWhere should I camp near Maplewood, MO?
You're spoiled for choice when it comes to the best campgrounds near Maplewood. Dr. Edmund A. Babler Memorial State Park (about 30 minutes west in Wildwood) offers electric and full-hookup sites under a canopy of old-growth trees. St. Louis West/Historic Route 66 KOA in Eureka has full hookups, a pool, and Six Flags shuttle access. Sundermeier RV Park in St. Charles (20 minutes north) is the closest full-service park to downtown. Robertsville State Park (45 minutes southwest) sits on the Meramec River with quiet electric sites starting around $25. For something fancier, Pin Oak Creek RV Park in Villa Ridge has a hot tub and pool. Pro tip: state park sites release 6 months in advance and weekends sell out fast for RV camping in Maplewood-area parks.
mostateparks.com/park/robertsville-state-parkWhen is the best time of year to rent an RV in Maplewood?
The sweet spot for a Maplewood RV trip is mid-April through early June and again from mid-September through late October. Spring brings dogwood blooms and 60-75°F days perfect for camping, while fall delivers crisp 50-70°F weather and brilliant Ozark color along the Meramec and Current Rivers. Summers in Maplewood are hot and humid (often 85-95°F with heavy thunderstorms), so you'll want an RV with strong air conditioning and a shaded campsite. Winter is mild but unpredictable, with occasional ice storms January through February. Pro tip: book the last weekend of September for the Best of Missouri Market at the Missouri Botanical Garden, it's a local favorite and pairs beautifully with a weekend at Babler State Park.
weather.gov/lsx/climateI've never rented an RV before. Will I actually be able to do this?
Yes, and you'll be amazed how quickly it clicks. First time renting an RV is exactly who RVezy is built for. Every host gives you a full walkthrough at pickup, covering the propane, water, generator, slide-outs, dump valves, and driving quirks, and you'll have their direct number throughout your trip. Choose a Class C motorhome or travel trailer under 25 feet for easier handling on Maplewood's surface streets and I-44. Stick to right-lane driving, leave extra braking distance, and avoid downtown St. Louis garages (most have 7-foot clearances). Pro tip: do your first night somewhere close like Babler State Park, 30 minutes out, so you can practice setup with the host just a phone call away.
modot.org/safetyWhat happens if I break down or need help during my trip?
You're never stranded. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so a flat tire on I-270 or a battery issue at a campground is just a phone call away. Coverage typically includes towing, jump-starts, lockouts, tire changes, and fuel delivery anywhere in Missouri and across the continental US. Your host is also reachable directly through the RVezy app for RV-specific questions like resetting the inverter or troubleshooting the fridge, and RVezy's support team is available before, during, and after your trip. Pro tip: save the roadside number in your phone before you leave Maplewood and snap a photo of the RV's VIN, it speeds up any service call significantly.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take an RV road trip from Maplewood across state lines or into Canada?
Cross-state road trips are not just allowed, they're encouraged. An RV road trip from Maplewood puts you within a day's drive of Illinois, Iowa, Arkansas, Kentucky, and Tennessee, all covered by your RVezy booking. Popular routes include Maplewood to Memphis (4.5 hours), Maplewood to Nashville (5 hours), and Maplewood to the Smoky Mountains (8 hours). Travel into Canada may be allowed depending on the host and insurance, just message them before booking to confirm. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because insurance coverage doesn't extend there. Pro tip: the Great River Road along the Mississippi north of Maplewood is one of the most underrated RV routes in America, plan an overnight in Hannibal.
visitmo.com/things-to-do/road-tripsHow much will I spend on fuel for my Maplewood RV trip?
Missouri has some of the lowest gas prices in the country, which makes fuel budgeting easy. As of 2026, gas in the St. Louis metro typically runs $2.85 to $3.25 per gallon, well below the national average. Expect roughly 8-10 MPG for a Class A motorhome, 10-14 MPG for a Class C, 18-22 MPG for a Class B campervan, and 12-16 MPG for your tow vehicle pulling a travel trailer. For a 3-night trip to Lake of the Ozarks (350 miles round trip) in a Class C, budget about $90-$120 in fuel. Pro tip: fill up in Maplewood or along I-44 in Franklin County before heading deep into the Ozarks, rural gas stations near Mark Twain National Forest can be $0.40+ per gallon more.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Maplewood?
Booking 3 to 6 months ahead is the sweet spot for popular spots, but you've got more flexibility than you'd think. Missouri State Parks (Babler, Robertsville, Meramec, Cuivre River) release reservations 6 months in advance through icampmo1.usedirect.com, and weekend electric sites at Babler can sell out the day they open during May, June, and October. Private parks like Sundermeier, Pin Oak Creek, and St. Louis West KOA usually have availability 2-4 weeks out except over Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day. Midweek almost always has openings. Pro tip: set a Campnab alert for sold-out state park sites, cancellations happen daily and you can snag a riverside spot at Robertsville with just a few days' notice.
icampmo1.usedirect.com/MSPWeb/What are the local driving conditions like around Maplewood?
Driving an RV around Maplewood is very manageable once you know the basics. Maplewood sits at the crossroads of I-44, I-64, and I-170, all RV-friendly with standard 13'6" interstate clearances. Avoid downtown St. Louis garages and the Forest Park Parkway tunnels (low clearances), and skip rush hour on I-64 through the Galleria area (7-9 AM and 4-6 PM). The Manchester Road corridor through Maplewood has tight turns and overhead trolley wires on some side streets, stick to Big Bend Boulevard for easier maneuvering. Summer brings strong thunderstorms; winter brings occasional ice. Pro tip: head west on I-44 to escape the metro in under 20 minutes, you'll be in rolling Ozark foothills with wide-open RV driving before you know it.
modot.org/st-louis-districtWhat amenities will I find at campgrounds near Maplewood?
You'll find a great mix of full-service and rustic options within an hour of Maplewood. Private parks like Sundermeier RV Park, St. Louis West KOA, and Pin Oak Creek typically offer 30/50-amp electric, water, sewer hookups at each site, plus laundry, Wi-Fi, pools, and shower houses. Missouri State Parks near Maplewood (Babler, Robertsville, Meramec) offer electric sites with shared water spigots, modern shower houses, and central dump stations, with Babler also offering full-hookup sites. Free dump stations are available at most state parks for registered campers. Fresh water fills are usually at the campground entrance. Pro tip: bring a 25-foot drinking-safe hose and a 90-degree elbow, some older sites at Robertsville have awkward spigot angles.
mostateparks.com/page/55070/campingWhat's actually inside the RVs available in Maplewood?
You'll be impressed with what comes standard. RVs on RVezy in Maplewood typically include a queen or king bed, full kitchen (fridge, freezer, propane stove, microwave, sink), bathroom with toilet and shower, dinette that converts to extra sleeping, climate control, and seatbelts for every passenger. Most include a TV, many have Wi-Fi hotspots or Starlink, and generators are standard on Class A and Class C motorhomes. Family-sized rigs sleep 6-8 comfortably with bunks. Linens, kitchenware, and outdoor chairs are often included or available as add-ons. Pro tip: when you rent an RV in Maplewood for a family trip, filter by Sleeps 6+ and look for bunkhouse floor plans, kids love having their own space and parents love the privacy.
visitmo.com/things-to-do/outdoorsWhat add-ons and options can I get with my Maplewood RV rental?
Plenty, and they make life easier. Common add-ons from Maplewood-area hosts include linens and towel packages ($30-$75), kitchen kits ($25-$50), camp chairs and outdoor tables ($15-$30), bike racks, generators (often included), portable grills, and pet packages. Delivery and setup is the most popular add-on, with rates typically $2-$4 per mile from the host's location. Pickup and dropoff windows are usually 1-3 PM and 11 AM respectively, but flexible hosts will accommodate flights into Lambert (STL) which is just 20 minutes from Maplewood. Mileage policies range from 100 free miles per day to fully unlimited. Pro tip: bundle delivery with a linen package for your first trip, you'll arrive at the campground and everything is ready to go.
flystl.com/How does payment and the security deposit work?
Payment is straightforward and secure. When you book on RVezy, you pay the full rental amount through the platform (never directly to the host) using a credit or debit card. A refundable security deposit is held separately, typically $500 to $1,500 depending on the RV class and host, and it's released back to your card after the trip wraps up clean, on time, and without damage. You'll see the exact deposit amount before you confirm. To avoid any issues, do a thorough walk-around video at pickup and drop-off, return the RV with the agreed fuel and propane levels, and stay within your mileage allowance. Pro tip: many Maplewood-area hosts offer a tank-cleaning add-on for around $50 to $75 if you'd rather skip dumping tanks yourself on your first trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-works
