St. Louis Cardinals RV Camping Guide

Unfortunately, you will not be able to find a campground on the grounds of Busch Stadium, and it does not matter whether you have a tiny camper or a huge motorhome. However, there are quite a few RV campgrounds near Busch Stadium that offers special transportation to and from the St. Louis Cardinals game.

Fans will have RV campgrounds to choose from in the area around Busch Stadium when visiting for a St. Louis Cardinals Game. Most are equipped to handle rigs up to 70 feet long and have full hookups, although there are a couple that are primitive dry sites. One of the best in the area is the St. Louis NE /I-270 / Granite City KOA, which is just 13 miles to the northeast of the stadium. They have over 100 sites with 50-amp electric hookups, cable TV, a pool, and a dog park.

Unfortunately, even though Busch Stadium is huge, they do not have trams or other personal transportation. Fans are also not allowed to have bikes, skateboards, and other types of personal transportation inside the stadium. You will do some walking so make sure your shoes are comfortable. However, if you need ADA assistance, just ask the nearest employee for a wheelchair escort.

What kind of clothing you pack for your St. Louis Cardinals game depends on what time of year you are going. At the beginning of the season it is typically cool in the evenings, so pack some long-sleeved shirts, jeans, and maybe even a hoodie. Further into the season, it can be in the 90s or 100s so you will need to pack some cool summer clothing.

In recent years, Busch Stadium has permitted fans to bring in a small bag up to 16 inches, but backpacks have been prohibited. Sticking to the idea that less is best is the right idea. While it is okay to bring in your own food and drinks, you cannot bring in coolers, thermoses, cans, bottles, or alcohol. Water, juice, and soft drinks are allowed but must be in factory sealed plastic containers.

Since most of the St. Louis Cardinals games at Busch Stadium are in the late spring and summer months, always bring sunglasses and a hat as well as sunscreen with a hefty SPF. It is also a good idea to bring or wear insect repellent, especially if you are going to be out after dark. Midwest mosquitoes are hungry critters.

Cooking at your campsite depends on what type of amenities that they have where you are staying. Many of the local campgrounds offer full hookups, so you will be able to cook inside your RV. However, you can also choose to cook outdoors on the campfire ring, or you can bring your own BBQ pit to use. Many of the RV parks in the area have picnic tables, so you can all sit together as a family. If you have any cooking items you forgot to bring, there are plenty of stores within a five-mile radius of the stadium in St. Louis.

Although there is a plethora of different food vendors at the ballpark, you may want something different while you are in town for the game. Right across the street, Ballpark Village has a Japanese restaurant as well as a few other food vendors. And within 10 miles, you can find burgers, Italian, Mexican, and BBQ restaurants as well as fast food joints.

The amount and variety of food at Busch Stadium during St. Louis Cardinals games is unreal. In fact, there are so many choices fans will find a multi-page list of meal options. Some of the favorites include nachos, hot dogs, burgers, corn dogs, ice cream, and brats. And there are several dozen beer vendors. Some of the time, you don’t even have to get up since the food vendors will bring items to you. Visit the Cardinals store or any one of over 50 merchandise vendors throughout the stadium for souvenirs and other swag.
