Seasonal camping guide
A weekend home base near St. Louis.
Seasonal camping gives your family one familiar place to return to throughout the camping season—without starting over every weekend.
Why campers choose seasonal
More time outside. Less time packing.
For families in the greater St. Louis and Metro East area, seasonal camping can turn an occasional trip into a regular part of life. Your camper stays at one annual site, your setup becomes familiar, and a spontaneous weekend outdoors takes far less planning.
Bur Oaks Campground is located in Alhambra, Illinois. It is a private, gated, members-only community built for long-term seasonal campers rather than nightly or transient stays. Members return to the same community throughout the season and get to know the people around them.
A full season of weekends
An annual site makes it easier to enjoy ordinary weekends, holiday traditions, campground events, and quiet evenings outside.
Familiar faces and community
Seasonal camping means returning to the same neighbors, shared spaces, activities, and community expectations throughout the year.
Choose the campground that fits how you camp.
Ask about available site sizes, camper fit, membership policies, guest access, pets, seasonal events, and the process for joining. Because availability changes, a direct conversation and scheduled visit are the clearest way to understand current options.
Bur Oaks is not open to the general public for nightly camping. Prospective members are welcome to contact the campground and arrange a visit before choosing a seasonal site.
