Missouri is one of the more underappreciated states in the U.S. That’s especially true as a vacation destination. From city nightlife to a more rural, scenic few days, there’s almost nothing that you can’t take advantage of in this beautiful place.

If you’ve never been to the state, however, it can be easy not to realize what those things might be, or where you might find them. Whether you’re booking a long weekend or a long vacation, there are plenty of things in Missouri to do. Golfers, campers, hikers, or anyone wishing to enjoy the beautiful scenery should be able to enjoy themselves. 

The Best Vacation Ideas In Missouri 

Camping 

With how scenic much of Missouri can be, going camping is a highly recommended option. Taking advantage of this is relatively easy, as finding an affordable Missouri campground should only take a few minutes. 

There are plenty of options available across the state. As a result, you can camp in almost any kind of terrain you can think of. Since these campgrounds are quite spread out, you can take in almost all of the state through a camping vacation.

These can be perfect for a long weekend or a few weeks, with some campgrounds offering more amenities than others. If you’re an outdoorsy person, then the state couldn’t be more of an attractive option.

Golf 

Golf mightn’t be the first thing you think of about Missouri. Despite this, it has multiple golf resorts spread across the city, with each being more attractive than the last. While some of these can be relatively expensive, the majority are more affordable than you’d think.

These resorts will naturally have amenities beyond the course itself, making them an ideal option if you want a relaxing golf vacation. With how close these courses are to other amenities, they’re best taken advantage of alongside some of the nightlife or other cultural attractions. 

Try St. Louis 

Despite how large St. Louis is, it’s much more affordable than it looks at first blush. That makes it an excellent option for anyone who wants a budget-friendly vacation with a lot to do. The majority of these are also family-friendly, so it’s recommended if you have children. 

Some of the more attractive things can also be free, surprisingly. There are the likes of the St. Louis Zoo, the Missouri History Museum, and much more. If you are planning a visit to the city, however, it’s worth keeping the St. Louis Cardinals’ home games in mind. 

More people tend to visit the city when these are on, which inflates hotel prices for several days. Planning around these will help keep costs low. 

Wrapping Up 

Missouri’s rural areas are some of the most beautiful in the country. With how underestimated the state is, taking advantage of the sights can be quite affordable. That’s also true of the nightlife and hotels in the cities. With the attractions that it has to offer, what’s stopping you from visiting? Naturally, there can be some times that you might want to avoid places during the year, as mentioned with St. Louis. Outside of this, however, Missouri can be a great place for a vacation almost anytime during the year.
