ROBERTSVILLE STATE PARK camping and kayaking

This might be our group's favorite little campground close to STL. Only about 25 miles from Valley Park area, down Hwy 44.

THIS IS A JOINT EVENT WITH TAILS ON THE TRAILS (meetup). There will be dogs at campsites and on kayaks.

Only 27 sites, spaced away from each other for privacy. Some are tricky to back into with a trailer, but if I can do it...anybody can do it. Just be careful. Not all have electricity, so be sure to check that before you book. There are several electric sites currently available (as of 4/1/26), but they do fill up. So, book soon.

KAYAKING is great here. THIS IS B.Y.O.BOAT, no rentals available. You need a high end inflatable or a hardshell at least 10' long. We are "challenged" on shuttling hardshells, so communicate if you have one of those.

We can do the 9 mile run from Choteau Claim, or a 5 mile run from River Round. Both come back to Robertsville State Park.

Plan is to kayak on Saturday. No other real plans. Trails are great here also, but the ticks are probably pretty bad. It's not a well-used park.

CELL SERVICE is good here.

Here is link for park. You can see map of campground and trails.
