Onondaga Cave State Park

We made a reservation on their web site. On the day of our arrival, we received an email allowing us to check in electronically. Or, you can drive around to find an open site and call to book it. Camp sites were well spaced. All had some shade. Paved pads long enough for 3 cars. Two hiking trails just off the campground. Small lake within walking distance for swimming. Ice and wood on site. Very quiet. No cell service. 1 shower building with laundry facilities - $2 each for wash/dry (bring lots of quarters).Showers & bathrooms were clean and maintained. Extra long picnic table with overhand at one end for camp stove.

Less than 10 miles, 20 minutes from I-44. Follow signs for park on highway H. GPS may lead you on gravel road, don't do it. Level concrete sites with water and electricity. Nicely spaced. Website map not to scale, try to look at satellite view to sites. You will need definitely need reservations for weekends. Beautiful setting with 2 nice hikes. Access to river front for wading, etc. Little to no phone service. Rare text came thru while hiking. We loved the hikes and setting. We camped here in mid April 2021. The dogwoods and redbuds and wildflowers were in full bloom.

We were there in October for a wedding nearby. Electric sites were close to full. The electric sites are staggered so that there is a little more space than if they were side by side. We enjoyed the cave tour, but be aware there are a lot of ups and downs in the cave. Hiked the Deer Run Trail. As is true with most Missouri State Parks, the road leading to the park is narrower than we would like for a motor home.
