RV rental Watkins Woolen Mill State Park and State Historic Site, MO: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

You can't go camping at Watkins Woolen Mill State Park and State Historic Site without taking a tour of the mill itself, standing imposingly in the center of the park. Tours are given daily by knowledgeable guides, so you are able to learn more about what the building and land were used for, you'll also be able to have a glimpse into the Watkins family home. During the summer months, the site's Living History Farm Program allows visitors an insight into the life of a family in 1870, with costumed guides demonstrating a range of activities. There is a boat launch in the park, which is used to access Williams Creek Lake, where you will also find a boat dock. Motorboats are allowed but are restricted to 10 horsepower or less. The 100-acre lake offers opportunities for both recreational boating and fishing, with sunfish, crappie, bass, and catfish all available to catch. If you are camping at the state park RV campgrounds, you are able to park up your boat near the campsite. There is a 3.8-mile path that runs around the whole perimeter of the lake and is intended for walkers, joggers, and cyclists. The path is relatively flat, making it quite accessible and offers great views across the water, and of the wildlife. There is also a separate 3.5-mile equestrian trail. Once you have spent a day on the water, before heading back to your RV rental, why not finish off with a bite to eat in one of the three picnic areas? Alternatively, you could relax on the large sandy swimming beach and take a dip in the cool waters if you are brave enough.
