Parking around St Louis
Boondocking is generally prohibited within St Louis city limits, and there are no RV parks directly inside the city — the closest options sit in suburbs like Eureka and Pacific, a short drive out. Some Walmart locations allow a single overnight stay, but it’s worth confirming with the store manager rather than assuming. Sundermeier RV Park and Pin Oak RV Resort are both good pet-friendly options within easy reach of the city.
When to travel
Spring and fall are the most comfortable seasons across Missouri, with summer bringing high heat and humidity. Lake of the Ozarks is busiest on summer weekends; book lakefront sites well ahead.
