Camping near New Haven, Missouri
New Haven sits on the Missouri River in Franklin County, roughly an hour west of St. Louis along Highway 100. The town is a practical base for RV travelers exploring the lower Missouri River valley, the Meramec River corridor, and the wineries of the Hermann and Augusta AVAs. Rolling Ozark foothills, hardwood forest, and river bluffs define the surrounding landscape.
Campground options within a short drive range from full-hookup resorts to rustic riverside sites. Lost Valley Lake Resort and Pin Oak RV Resort cater to families wanting pools, planned activities, and long stays. Meramec Campground and Meramec Caverns Natural Campground sit along the Meramec River near Stanton and Sullivan, pairing river access with proximity to cave tours. RV Self Park, an automated overnight facility in Sullivan just off I-44, offers a simple self-service option for travelers passing through.
Most riverside sites are seasonal, with peak availability from spring through fall and reduced services in winter, though several parks in the area operate year-round.
Things to do near New Haven
Meramec Caverns near Stanton is the headline attraction, offering guided cave tours, riverboat rides, canoe and raft rentals on the Meramec River, and a zipline. Meramec State Park adds hiking trails, Fisher Cave tours, and swimming access to the river.
Hermann, a short drive east along the Missouri River, anchors a cluster of German-heritage wineries and connects to the Katy Trail State Park, a rail-to-trail bike path that follows the river for hundreds of miles. Travelers can combine trail cycling with winery and small-town stops.
Back in New Haven, the riverfront park, historic downtown, and boat ramp offer easy afternoon activities. Float trips, fishing, and paddling on the Meramec and Bourbeuse rivers round out the outdoor lineup.

Renting from Donna was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Her communication was prompt, clear, and welcoming, making pickup and drop-off completely hassle-free. The camper was exceptionally clean, well maintained, and stocked with everything we needed, and the beds were remarkably comfortable for a great night’s sleep after a long day outside. Donna is a top-tier host, and I would absolutely rent from her again in a heartbeat!

How to book campgrounds near New Haven

What to expect on the ground
Terrain is rolling and wooded, with campgrounds tucked into river valleys and along small lakes. Road access is generally good on paved state and interstate routes, but interior campground roads and pull-in sites can be tight or unlevel, especially at rustic and riverside parks. Larger Class A rigs should confirm site length and turning radius at Meramec Caverns Natural Campground and at riverside loops in Meramec State Park.
Full hookups, Wi-Fi, and family amenities are standard at Lost Valley Lake Resort, Pin Oak RV Resort, Meramec Campground, and RV Self Park. Cell coverage is reliable in and around New Haven but can drop in river bottoms and cave country.
Mosquitoes, ticks, and poison ivy are present spring through fall. River conditions on the Meramec change quickly after storms, so check gauge readings before floats or shoreline camping.
