Cabins near Salem guide

Overview

Time seems to have stood still in some of the nooks and crannies of the Salem region. A Model A Ford sits beside an “old-timey” gas station, colorful vintage quilts await new owners in antique stores, and landscapes older than civilization beckon. This small town is a scenic home base for exploring the forests and waterways of the Missouri Ozarks. Campers will find tent, RV, and glamping options in Salem and nearby towns like St. James, Rolla, and Lesterville. Patches of the Mark Twain National Forest are also nearby, offering camping within an hour’s drive of Salem.

Where to go

Montauk State Park

Located 30 minutes south of Salem, Montauk State Park is a scenic day trip or camping location. The waters of Pigeon Creek join with the bubbling Montauk Spring, creating the Current River, one of Missouri’s most popular spots for summertime float trips. In addition to paddling, the region is also popular for fishing, thanks to the trout which thrive in the chilly waters created by the park’s seven springs. Hiking and biking trails take visitors through scenic landscapes. Campers will find electric and basic RV and tent campsites, with some offering water views.

Echo Bluff State Park

One of Missouri’s newest state parks, Echo Bluff became an instant favorite, thanks to the abundance of beauty and recreation. Sinking Creek flows through the park, and rising bluffs create majestic views. The campground was built with modern amenities, such as free wifi and full hookups. Those wanting to rough it in a scenic locale can book the walk-in tent sites, which offer elevated, level platforms.

Johnson’s Shut-Ins State Park

Approximately an hour east of Salem, Johnson’s Shut-Ins State Park is not only a favorite among Missourians, it has received national attention for the unique scenery and well-equipped campgrounds. The East Fork Black River runs through a geologic wonder known as “shut-ins,” created when hard rocks do not erode in the rushing waters. The combination of rocks and waters create a unique playground in the river, with pools and water chutes. The campground offers basic, electric, and full hookup tent and RV sites, as well as special equestrian campsites.

When to go

While summer is humid and hot, it’s a popular time to play in the Missouri waterways near Salem. Spring is cooler, but the water temperatures are too chilly for swimming. While visitors can’t make a splash in fall, the changing of the leaves becomes the star of the show, as the nearby forests and hills erupt in color.
