Big Lake Campground

Big Lake State Park is one of the premier outdoor recreation and camping destinations in Missouri’s northwest corner and one of the best places for camping with an RV rental. The 407-acre park sits in an oxbow section of the Missouri River, creating one of the largest marshlands in the state. The region is popular for swimming, fishing, bird watching, boating, and picnicking, and the Big Lake Campground on the edge of the park is a fantastic place to base yourself when renting an RV.

Campsites at Big Lake can include electrical hookups or no hookups at all, depending on your desired level of comfort. Drinking water, showers, and restrooms are centrally located within the park, and there’s a dump station available if you need to empty the tanks on your rig. The park even has a small swimming pool for some morning laps or cooling off after a big day of adventuring. There are also two playgrounds where the little ones can run around in the evening, which are equipped with slides and climbing equipment.

Big Lake’s location in the rural northwest means you should never feel crowded when staying in the RV campground. However, the campground is easily accessible from Interstate 29, which runs between Omaha and Kansas City. Both of the metropolitan areas can be reached in about two hours' drive if you feel the need for some big city fun when you choose a rental motorhome at Big Lake Campground.
