About
Arrow Rock State Historic Site Campground sits within one of Missouri's most significant historic villages, a well-preserved frontier town that served as a major outfitting point for travelers heading west on the Santa Fe Trail. The campground offers 47 total sites: 12 basic sites, 34 electric sites with 30-amp and 50-amp service, and one sewer/electric/water full-hookup site. Three sites are ADA accessible. Each campsite includes a parking pad, picnic table, grill, and lantern post. Full amenities including potable water, shower houses, and modern restrooms are available during the on-season from April 1 through October 31. During the off-season (November 1 through March 31), basic camping remains available but water systems, showers, and firewood sales are not operational. The campground also features a dump station and woodlot. A special-use camping area accommodates group camping with four picnic tables, three fire pits, and space for multiple tents. Reservations can be made up to 12 months in advance through Missouri State Parks' reservation system. The historic site itself offers walking tours of restored buildings, a visitor center with exhibits on frontier life, and the Lyceum Theatre, one of the oldest professional regional theaters in Missouri.
