Joplin has rebuilt alot, it is amazing. There are a lot of RV parks none of them close to the affected area. To the southwest is a KOA right off of I44 exit 4, to the east in Carthage is two nice parks, Coachlight and Big Red Barn. There is a new RV park (not a parking lot) at the Indigo Sky Casino in Seneca MO which is about 15 miles south of I44 or 12 miles west of I49 (at the neosho exit) also I passed a RV park right on the creek yesterday - Zans Creekside Rv park - it is where i would want to stay with grandkids i you dont mind them playing in the creek or staying in the woods but I dont know if they have full hook ups - it is also offof I44 exit 4
Downstream Casino is further to the west in Kansas and last time I was there their RV park was just in the parking lot but they have added on to their hotel so that may have changed. PM me if you have any questions, I am in Joplin almost every day.
