Camping

at St. Francois State Park

St. Francois State Park offers basic and electric campsites. There is also 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. Water is not available in the park during the off-season (November through March). Current nightly camping fees can be found through the Fees and Seasons link to the right; nightly camping fees effective May 1, 2013, can be found by clicking here.

New Camping Option:  Need a little extra space?  Try out the park's family campsite (site 95).  Rates can be found under Fees and Seasons to the right.

The campground is open and reservable year-round.  For weekend reservations, there is a required two-night minimum stay of Friday/Saturday.

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.

Campers planning to carry in firewood must comply with current firewood advisories.
