Discover Imperial RV rentals for memorable road trips

About 23 miles south of St. Louis, Imperial lies on the state line, with only the Mississippi River to its east separating it from Illinois. Originally called West Kimmswick, Imperial was part of the town founded in 1859 by St. Louis dry goods merchant Theodore Kimm. While the suburb offers little by way of tourist attractions (save the Mastodon State Historic Site), it does provide peace and quiet while remaining in close proximity to the urban bustle and cosmopolitan comforts of St. Louis. Though small, Imperial is well connected to the rest of the country: Interstate 55, which connects Chicago to Louisiana, and US Route 61, which runs from Wisconsin to Louisiana, run through it. Book an RV in Imperial today and follow where the road leads you.

What is There to See in the Gateway to the West?

The Mastodon State Historic Site is Imperial's main tourist attraction. Here, scientists found solid evidence in the Kimmswick Bone Bed that the American mastodon and other now-extinct ice age animals coexisted with humans in eastern North America. Learn about how paleontologists discovered this site and how the Missouri landscape looked in the prehistoric era, and marvel at the museum displays of fossils, artifacts, and mastodon skeleton replica. If you want to see where it all began, stretch your legs on the trails, including on one that leads to the site where the bones were found.

John was a very accommodating host. His RV is well stocked with everything that you will need to have a relaxing trip. There is plenty of room for 5 people and the A/C kept us cool on the hottest of days. The rental process was smooth and it made our trip very enjoyable.

"Perfect" RV for my daughter and I!! I'm 6' 3" and always wonder about the sleeping accommodations, especially in such a small RV! As my daughter and I said many times over the weekend this little "Campy" as we liked to call it, was perfect for the two of us! It has everything you really need - oh, and be ready for campground neighbors or family members camping with you to want a tour, as everyone is curious once they see it! Would 100% rent again - Susan was the best, even checking in with us to make sure all was well during the trip!

Amazing experience. Larry was accommodating and the RV was exactly as described. Everything was ready to bring our clothes and enjoy a week of vacation without any worries!
