12378 Athens State Park Road, Revere, MO 63465, United States

Compare with similar sites, watch availability, and build a packing list — Camp Sage handles all of it.
Fall brings the best conditions: daytime highs in the mid-50s to mid-70s°F, cool nights between 35 and 50°F, and peak foliage along the river. Fishing picks up as water temperatures drop, and the campground quiets down compared to summer. On-season services run April 1 through October 31, offering full hookups and showers through October. Spring and summer work well for exploring trails and attending periodic battle reenactments. Electric hookups stay available November through March for off-season campers, though water and showers shut down. Winter sees fewer visitors and a quieter experience.
Peak season with warm weather, perfect for water activities. Book early.

The official park page lists camping and picnicking and highlights the site’s historic buildings and a mile of Des Moines River frontage. The site page does not provide site-specific details about showers, water, electrical or sewer hookups, or a dump station. Visitor reports mention a picnic shelter and restrooms, and the Missouri State Parks site describes a system-wide contactless self-check-in feature for reservations.
