The best camping in Northeast Missouri with hiking

·

In Northeast Missouri, hikers have over 340 camping options where trails cut through oak forests, rocky bluffs, and rolling farmland. You’ll find sites with campfire rings, toilets, and showers—essentials after a long day on the trail. Some spots start at just $20 a night, while the average is $120. Top picks include Ubuntu Treehouse (6 reviews), tucked high among the branches, Escape to North River Glamping (1 review) with wide river views, and Soldier's Sanctuary (1 review), where you can spot deer at dusk. Bring your boots—most sites put you steps from hiking trails, with swimming holes and wildlife-watching close by. If you like to end your hike by the fire, you’re in the right place.
