The best beach camping near Weston guide

Where to go

Weston Bend State Park

Catch views of the mighty Missouri River from high on the bluffs in Weston Bend State Park. Expansive farmlands of the river valley give way to wooded ridges, lined with meandering hiking and biking trails and scenic overlooks. Historic sites and expansive views await. The onsite campground features basic and electric sites, suitable for both tents and RVs. Set up camp in the woodlands and enjoy the serenity.

Lewis and Clark State Park

Less than 20 minutes north of Weston, Lewis and Clark State Park showcases the expedition of Lewis and Clark, whose Corps of Discovery passed through the area in 1804. Where they rested along the shores of a scenic 300-acre lake, a state park now offers outdoor recreation. Fishing, paddling, and boating are prime activities. The campground offers tent and RV sites, some with electric hookups.

Smithville Lake

For watersports and more, head to Smithville Lake, a popular recreation spot with 7,000 acres set amid the rolling prairies and hills. Activities include fishing, paddling, swimming, and boating. You’ll also find hiking trails and golf courses along the shores—including disc golf. Three large campgrounds showcase over 700 sites for tents and RVs. Whether you are seeking dry camping, electric, water/electric, or full hookups, there’s a site for you, some with water views.

When to go

Weston is a year-round destination, with several town festivals marking the changing seasons and holidays. Summer is generally hot and humid, and the lakes and rivers are popular retreats this time of year. Spring is pleasant, with mixed weather. Fall is an annual favorite, thanks to the weather and Mother Nature’s annual show. Winter is usually cold, with freezing temperatures and chances for snow and ice.
