Missouri State Parks is scheduled to launch an enhanced online reservation system at 7 a.m. Tuesday, February 15.

According to a news release, in order to complete the upgrade, Missouri State Parks will not be accepting new reservations, changes or cancellations from 7 p.m. February 13 through 6:59 a.m. Tuesday, February 15. This includes online reservations at icampmo.com, phone reservations through the call center and reservations made at a state park or state historic site location. State parks and historic sites will be open under normal, off-season operations during this time.

Park officials say the new reservation system will offer many new features including:

• The ability to buy and send Missouri State Parks eGift Cards.
• Interactive park maps and multiple photos to preview campsites.
• Easy-to-use search function, showing results up to 70 miles from your search area.
• The ability to reserve shelters online.
• The ability to sign up for tours online.

As part of the new reservation system, there will be a $2 decrease in reservation fees for reservations made online and a $.50 decrease in fees for reservations made through the call center. Beginning at 7 a.m. February 15, making an advanced reservation for campsites and group tent areas will result in following nonrefundable reservation fees of $6.50 for reservations made online at icampmo.com and $8 for reservations made through the call center at (877) 422-6766.

For reservations made with an arrival date beginning Sunday, Jan. 1, 2023, camping rates will increase $2 per night for basic and electric campsites and $3 per night for Electric/Water 50 AMP and Sewer/Electric/Water 50 AMP campsites.
