Autumn is here and so are the colors! This is a great time of year to head out in your new or used RV to enjoy everything fall has to offer: cool nights, gorgeous foliage, and a hot cup of coffee around the campfire on a chilly, foggy morning. And while certain regions of the country are renowned for their amazing fall colors, you can take a trip around your own state to enjoy the best of what autumn has to offer. Here are five great places to camp in Missouri this fall.
Lake Wappapello
Lake Wappapello is an ideal state park for nature lovers! Load up your cargo in your toy hauler, because you’ll definitely want to enjoy early mornings out on the lake in your kayak as the sun comes up. There are also tons of trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. Need to plan a family reunion? The modern campground has it covered. Get more info here.

Lewis & Clark State Park
Fall is an amazing time to visit Lewis & Clark State Park if you’re a bird watcher! They discovered a lake full of geese during their expedition, and today Lewis & Clark Lake is named for that discovery. This lake is still a popular spot for bird watchers and nature photographers today, as it hosts geese, great blue herons, swans, and snow egrets. Make your camping reservations here.
