Route 66 RV parks and campgrounds, town by town

Can you camp along Route 66?

Yes. This page lists 79 RV parks and campgrounds near 36 of the towns where a Route 66 day usually ends, from Illinois to California. 49 of them say on their own sites that they have tent sites as well as RV sites.

Are there KOA campgrounds on Route 66?

Yes, 18 of the places here are KOAs, among them the Springfield KOA Journey, the St. Louis N.E. / I-270 / Granite City KOA Journey, the Springfield / Route 66 KOA Holiday. They are listed with the other parks near each town.

Where can I find full hookups on Route 66?

57 of the 79 places say on their own websites that they have full hookups (water, sewer and electric). 9 are state park campgrounds; check each park's page for its hookups and season before you go.

Can I add a campground to my Route 66 trip plan?

Yes. Tap the heart on any park here, on a town page or on the map, as on any stop: it is saved to My trip and becomes a stop of your plan in driving order. When it is the last stop of a day, that day's Google Maps link ends there and the next morning starts from it. In the trip planner the “Campgrounds” switch adds one RV park or campground near where every day ends. It is in the PDF and the GPS file too, like any saved stop.

Can I park overnight in a store parking lot?

That is decided by each store and by local rules, so it changes from town to town. Ask the store before you stay, and look for posted signs. This page lists only RV parks and campgrounds.
