Camp in one of Missouri’s awesome state parks or at the many privately-owned camping areas. There are pros and cons of each.
Missouri State Parks
These state parks offer camping for floaters. These are a good choice for families that don’t want to be in a “party” atmosphere.

I came to your site from a very nicely written ezine article, “Camping in Missouri.” As owner and operator of a site offering outdoor information primarily about Missouri, I was curious what your site had to offer. It is very well done, and readers who inquire about floating as their primary activity, will be referred here. I wish you much success!
As a point of reference, our favorite stream purely for the floating aspect is the Eleven Point. My opinion is that the Mary Decker and Halls Bay sections are at times above the Class II rating that most sites ascribe the most difficult (most fun) sections of the stream.
