Camping

at St. Francois State Park

St. Francois State Park offers basic and electric campsites. For a little extra space, try one of the park's family campsites. There is a backpack camp for hikers on the Pike Run Trail. On-season (April through October) services in the campground include a dump station, showers, water and laundry. Current nightly camping fees can be found through Camping Fees on the right or by clicking here.

The campground is open and reservable year-round. For weekend reservations, there is a required two-night minimum stay of Friday/Saturday. Water is not available in the park during the off-season (November through March).

All campers must have an immediate means of motorized transportation in case of evacuation due to flooding. Campers participating in long-distance bicycle tours traveling without support are exempt.
