Summary
Reservations aren't required; sites are first-come, first-served. There's a small nightly fee. Amenities include flush toilets, potable water, fire rings, picnic tables, and limited RV access (no hookups). The campground has a scenic, grassy, and wooded setting near the Missouri River, with direct access to the Katy Trail for hiking and biking. It’s peaceful, with a historic railroad vibe due to the nearby tunnel. Best visited in spring or fall for mild temperatures and vibrant foliage. A great base for exploring Rocheport’s wineries, shops, and bluff views.
