Campgrounds near Olympian Village
Olympian Village sits in Jefferson County, Missouri, on the northeastern edge of the Ozark foothills roughly an hour south of St. Louis off Highway 67. The area draws RV travelers with a mix of state park campgrounds and private RV parks within a short drive, plus easy paddling and float trips on the Big River.
The closest options span the range from full-hookup private resorts to basic state park loops. Stone Park Resort and Amphitheatre near Bonne Terre offers RV sites within easy reach of the Big River and Bonne Terre attractions. St Francois State Park and Washington State Park anchor the state park system in the region, both bordering the Big River. Cherokee Landing operates as a small float outfitter and campground on the upper Big River near Bonne Terre, and Covered Bridge RV Park and Storage provides a full-hookup base closer to the St. Louis metro.
Most trips here combine river time, hiking in Ozark hills, and short drives to Elephant Rocks, Johnson's Shut-Ins, or the historic Bonne Terre Mine.
Things to do near Olympian Village
The Big River is the region's main draw. The upper Big River is a slow-moving Class 1 Ozark stream, well suited to families and beginners, with scenic bluffs and gravel bars for picnicking and swimming. Cherokee Landing rents canoes, kayaks, rafts, and tubes for float trips on this stretch. St Francois State Park adds basic and electric campsites, a special-use camping area, and a backpack camp for hikers on the Pike Run Trail, plus boat access to the Big River and rugged hiking through the Coonville Creek Wild Area.
Washington State Park is known for its petroglyphs, quaint hiking shelters, and Ozark overlooks, with easy Big River access for swimming and fishing, three rugged hiking trails, and stone buildings constructed by African American Civilian Conservation Corps stonemasons. The park also has a swimming pool and float trip rentals through the park concessionaire.
Families also head to the Bonne Terre Mine for guided tours, Elephant Rocks State Park for its granite boulders, and the trail networks at nearby St. Joe State Park.

Spring and fall are the most comfortable windows for RV camping in this part of Missouri. March through May brings wildflowers along Washington State Park's trails and rising river levels for paddling, though spring is typically the wettest stretch and this area experiences occasional flash flooding, and campers must have a means to evacuate while staying.
Summer is peak season. June through August is hot and humid, with average highs in the upper 80s. Summer is a popular time to visit the parks, as river waters are warm enough for comfortable swimming, and the weather is generally hot and humid. State park sites book up on weekends and holidays. Missouri State Parks now allow reservations up to 12 months in advance, expanding from the previous six-month window, so summer weekends should be locked in early.
Fall brings cooler temperatures, oak and hickory color that peaks in October, and lighter crowds. Winter camping is quiet, with freezing nights and occasional snow. The campgrounds stay open year-round, but certain amenities such as showers and restrooms are unavailable during the off-season, which runs from November to March.

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!

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!

Thanks again Ray, outstanding communication and everything was as he said! No complaints, would rent from him again.

How to book a site
Missouri State Park campsites at St Francois and Washington are reservable up to 12 months in advance through the state's online reservation system or by calling toll free 877-ICampMO (877-422-6766). The campgrounds are fully reservable, and reservable sites may be available on a walk-up basis if not booked. Camping is limited to any 15 days within a 30-consecutive-day period at any one park or historic site.
Stone Park Resort and Amphitheatre and Covered Bridge RV Park and Storage take direct reservations, so contact the operators to confirm site availability and any weekend office hours.
Cherokee Landing is open Friday and Saturday for camping and Saturday and Sunday for float trips, with weekday floats and camping only available by prearranged appointment. Reservations are not required but recommended, since availability cannot be guaranteed without one.
What to expect
Terrain is Ozark: forested ridges, dolomite bluffs, and river valleys. St Francois State Park Campground offers 63 widely spaced sites with water and a minimum 30-amp electrical hookup, with direct access to showers, restrooms, laundry, and a dump station, and spaces up to 45 feet handling back-ins or pull-throughs. Washington State Park's campground is open year-round with 18 electric and 20 basic sites, including one ADA-accessible electric site and a family campsite with an additional pad.
At the state parks, water and showers are available April 1 through October 31, and water is not available in the off season, so winter campers should arrive with full fresh tanks. Gates close at 10 p.m. from April 1 to Oct. 31 and at 6 p.m. during the offseason. Flash flooding on the Big River is a real consideration, and campers must have a means of motorized evacuation.
Cell service is generally good in the area, and small-town groceries are within a short drive of most sites.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Olympian Village, MO
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Olympian Village, MO?
RV rental in Olympian Village is one of the most affordable ways to explore eastern Missouri. On RVezy, nightly rates typically run from about $90 for a compact travel trailer up to $250 or more for a larger Class A motorhome, with most family-sized Class C rentals landing between $150 and $200 per night. Because Olympian Village sits in Jefferson County rather than a major metro, you'll often find cheap RV rental options compared to St. Louis pickups about 40 miles north. Pro tip: book midweek and in shoulder seasons (April or late September) for the best deals, and use the price filter to sort by budget.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Olympian%20Village%2C%20MissouriWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Olympian Village, MO?
Great news for first-time renters: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Olympian Village. Missouri does not require a commercial driver's license (CDL) or special endorsement for personal RVs, even larger Class A motorhomes. You'll need to be at least 25 years old to be an approved driver on RVezy, and ID verification happens right inside the platform during checkout, which usually takes just a few minutes. Visiting from outside the U.S.? Bring your home country license plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) and you're set.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs RV rental insurance and roadside assistance included in Olympian Village?
Yes, and this is one of the best reasons to book through RVezy. Every motorhome rental in Olympian Village booked on RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance. The protection plan covers damage to the RV during your trip, and you choose your coverage level during checkout (not the host), so you can pick what makes you most comfortable. Roadside assistance helps with flat tires, lockouts, dead batteries, and towing, which is reassuring when you're exploring rural stretches of Highway 67 or the Mark Twain National Forest.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Olympian Village RV rental?
Booking is low-risk. RVezy sets the cancellation policy (not individual hosts), and the policy is consistent across the platform rather than displayed per listing. Refunds depend on how far in advance of your trip you cancel, with more flexibility the earlier you cancel. If a host cancels on you, RVezy refunds your payment or provides travel credit so your plans stay on track. The easiest move is to book the dates you want now to lock in availability for your Olympian Village RV trip, and reach out to RVezy support if plans change unexpectedly.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on an RV rental in Olympian Village, MO?
Absolutely, and Jefferson County is wonderfully dog-friendly. To find a pet-friendly RV rental Olympian Village travelers love, just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy and you'll see dozens of options within a short delivery range. Once you're on the road, take your pup to Washington State Park in nearby De Soto, which allows leashed dogs on its hiking trails along the Big River, or to St. Francois State Park about 25 minutes south, where dogs are welcome at the campground and on most trails. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm any pet fee and to mention your dog's size so the RV is set up just right.
mostateparks.com/page/55059/pets-state-parksCan the RV be delivered to my campground or driveway in Olympian Village?
Yes. RV delivery in Olympian Village is one of the most popular options, especially for first-timers who'd rather skip towing or driving a big rig. Many RVezy hosts in Jefferson County will deliver to your home, a friend's driveway, or directly to a campground like Washington State Park or Hawn State Park. Your host sets up the RV, levels it, hooks up power and water, and walks you through every system before they leave. Use the Delivery filter when you search, then message the host to confirm distance fees. It turns a rental into a turnkey vacation.
mostateparks.com/park/washington-state-parkHow does mileage work, and how far can I travel from Olympian Village?
You've got plenty of range. Hosts on RVezy set their own mileage policies, and many Olympian Village listings include 100 to 150 free miles per night, with additional miles available for a small per-mile fee (usually $0.30 to $0.50). Some hosts even offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, which is ideal for longer routes. From Olympian Village you can reach St. Louis in about 50 minutes (40 miles), the Lake of the Ozarks in roughly 3 hours (170 miles), Branson in about 4.5 hours (260 miles), and Memphis in around 4 hours (270 miles). Filter by mileage policy or message the host to map out the perfect plan.
modot.org/Where are the best campgrounds near Olympian Village, MO?
You're spoiled for choice. Some of the best campgrounds near Olympian Village include Washington State Park (about 15 minutes away in De Soto, with full hookups along the Big River), St. Francois State Park (25 minutes south, with shaded sites and great hiking), Hawn State Park near Ste. Genevieve (45 minutes, famous for its sandstone canyons and pine forests), and Pere Marquette State Park across the Mississippi in Illinois (about 90 minutes north). For a private option, KOA Pacific is roughly 45 minutes northwest and offers pull-through full-hookup sites. Pro tip: Missouri State Park reservations open up to 12 months in advance, so book early for summer weekends.
mostateparks.com/page/54895/reservationsWhen is the best time of year for an RV trip from Olympian Village?
You can RV here for three solid seasons, and each has its own personality. Late April through early June is gorgeous, with temperatures in the 60s to low 80s, dogwoods blooming, and the Big River running full. September and October are arguably the best, with crisp 70-degree days, fall colors peaking around mid-October in the Ozark foothills, and far fewer bugs. July and August get hot and humid (highs in the upper 80s and low 90s), but campground AC and shaded sites at Hawn or Washington State Park make it manageable. Winters are mild but variable, with occasional snow, so always check the forecast before heading out.
weather.gov/lsx/I've never driven an RV before. Will I be okay?
Yes, and you're in a great spot to learn. First time renting an RV is totally normal here, and every RVezy host gives you a hands-on walkthrough at pickup covering driving tips, hookups, slide-outs, the propane system, and waste tanks. The roads around Olympian Village are forgiving: Highway 67 and I-55 are wide and well-maintained, and you can ease into things on quieter county roads before tackling anything bigger. If you'd rather skip driving altogether, choose a host who delivers and sets up at your campground. Pro tip: pick a smaller travel trailer or Class C for your first trip; they handle much more like a regular vehicle than people expect.
modot.org/safe-drivingWhat happens if the RV breaks down during my trip?
You're covered, day or night. Every RV rental in Olympian Village booked through RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan. Whether it's a flat tire on Highway 21, a dead battery at Washington State Park, or a tow needed on a back road in the Mark Twain National Forest, one phone call gets help dispatched. Your host is also just a message away through the RVezy app for questions about quirks specific to their RV. Pro tip: take a quick photo of the RV's tire pressure sticker and propane shutoff during your walkthrough so you can troubleshoot small issues yourself before calling in.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my RV rental across state lines or into Canada?
Yes, interstate travel is wide open for your Olympian Village RV trip. Most RVezy hosts allow travel throughout the continental U.S., which is perfect since Illinois is just 30 minutes east across the Mississippi and Arkansas is about 3 hours south. Popular RV road trip from Olympian Village routes include the Great River Road south to Memphis, west to Branson and Eureka Springs, or north to the Wisconsin Dells. Cross-border trips into Canada may be allowed by some hosts with advance approval, so just message before booking. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because protection coverage doesn't extend there.
cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/know-before-you-goWhat kind of fuel mileage should I budget for, and what's gas like in the area?
Budgeting fuel for your RV camping Olympian Village trip is pretty manageable. Travel trailers don't burn fuel themselves, but your tow vehicle typically gets 10 to 14 MPG. Class C motorhomes average 8 to 12 MPG, and larger Class A rigs land around 6 to 9 MPG. Gas prices in Jefferson County tend to run a few cents below the Missouri average, and you'll find well-priced fuel at stations along Highway 67 in Festus and along I-55. Pro tip: top off in Festus or Crystal City before heading into more rural areas south toward Farmington or west toward the Ozarks where stations are spaced farther apart.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Olympian Village?
Sooner is better, but you have options. Missouri State Parks (Washington, St. Francois, Hawn) use the icampmo1.usedirect.com reservation system and open bookings up to 12 months ahead, with summer weekends and fall color weekends filling fast, often 3 to 6 months out. Private parks like KOA Pacific generally book up 1 to 2 months ahead for peak weekends but often have midweek openings just days before. Federal sites in the Mark Twain National Forest use Recreation.gov. Pro tip: if a state park is full, check for first-come, first-served sites at Council Bluff Lake or grab a private RV park spot, then start your planning early for the next season.
icampmo1.usedirect.com/MoStateParks/What are local driving conditions like around Olympian Village?
Driving here is refreshingly easy. Olympian Village sits just off Highway 67 with quick access to I-55, both wide, well-maintained four-lane routes that handle big rigs comfortably. The terrain is gently rolling Ozark foothills, so expect a few moderate grades heading west toward Potosi or south toward the Arcadia Valley, but nothing like mountain driving. Watch for occasional deer at dawn and dusk on rural stretches of Highway 21 and Z, and be ready for summer thunderstorms that can pop up quickly. Winter ice is occasional but real; check MoDOT's Traveler Information Map before heading out December through February. Otherwise, this is some of the most relaxed RV driving in the Midwest.
traveler.modot.org/map/What amenities should I expect at campgrounds near Olympian Village?
Plenty of comfort within easy reach. Washington State Park has electric (some 50-amp) and water hookups, a dump station, hot showers, and a camp store. St. Francois State Park offers electric sites, a dump station, and modern restrooms. Hawn State Park has electric hookups and showers but no sewer at individual sites, so plan a dump-station stop. Private parks like KOA Pacific offer full hookups (water, sewer, 30/50-amp), Wi-Fi, and a pool. To refill fresh water mid-trip, most Missouri State Parks have a potable water spigot near the dump station. Pro tip: bring a 25-foot water hose and a 30-to-50-amp adapter to fit nearly any site you'll encounter.
mostateparks.com/page/54877/campingWhat's inside a typical RV rental from Olympian Village?
More than you'd expect. Most RVs listed on RVezy near Olympian Village come fully equipped: a real bed (often a queen) plus convertible sleeping for 4 to 8 total, a kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, and sink, a bathroom with toilet and shower, climate control, and seatbelts for travel. Many include a TV, Bluetooth stereo, outdoor awning, and a generator or solar setup for off-grid stays. Wi-Fi varies; some hosts include a mobile hotspot, which is handy since cell coverage can dip in the Ozarks south of town. Pro tip: check the listing's amenity list and message the host if there's a specific item like a coffee maker or fire pit you want included.
fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/rv-safetyWhat add-ons and pickup options are available for an RV rental in Olympian Village, MO?
Lots of ways to customize your trip. Many hosts offer add-ons like camping chairs, outdoor grills, bedding and linen packages, kitchen kits, bike racks, generators, and even kayaks, with most fees ranging from $25 to $100 per item per trip. Pickup is typically at the host's home in or near Olympian Village, Festus, De Soto, or Hillsboro, and many offer delivery to local campgrounds for a per-mile fee. Mileage policies vary by listing (100 to 150 miles per night is common, with some unlimited-mileage options), and you'll see all of it clearly on the listing before you book. Use the Instant Book filter if you want to lock in plans immediately.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Olympian%20Village%2C%20MissouriHow do payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
It's all handled securely through the platform, so you never exchange cash with the host. When you book your campervan rental in Olympian Village, your payment method is charged for the rental total (nightly rate, fees, protection plan, and any add-ons). A refundable security deposit is placed as a hold on your card before pickup, separate from your booking payment, and it's released after the trip assuming no damage or policy violations. To keep the process smooth, do a thorough walkthrough with photos at pickup and dropoff, respect the mileage and generator-hour limits, and return the RV with the agreed fuel and tank levels.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksWhat are the best road trip destinations from Olympian Village, MO?
You're sitting in a sweet spot for Midwest adventures. From Olympian Village, a few favorite RV road trips include: Johnson's Shut-Ins State Park (about 75 miles southwest, roughly 90 minutes) for the famous granite swimming holes; Elephant Rocks State Park (80 miles, 90 minutes) for giant pink-granite boulders perfect for family RV trip Olympian Village memories; Lake of the Ozarks (170 miles, 3 hours) for boating and lakeside campgrounds; Branson and Table Rock Lake (260 miles, 4.5 hours) for shows and crystal-clear water; and Memphis (270 miles, 4 hours) via the scenic Great River Road. Pro tip: pair Elephant Rocks and Johnson's Shut-Ins as a 2-night loop, they're only 20 minutes apart.
