Camping and Tenting

Here are some resources for our visitors and residents to maximize the World Cup experience when it comes to camping and tenting in Kansas City. Visit the Jackson County, Missouri Parks & Recreation website for more information about camping options.  

Help Keep Pathways Clear

Do not stand or position yourself or your property in a public place in a way that blocks people, cars, or access to businesses.

Check Before You Set Up

You cannot live in, stay in, or set up a tent or covered vehicle/trailer on any empty or open piece of land in the city without proof of ownership or a lease.

Respect Other’s Property

Get Permission

1. Without permission, you cannot go onto or stay on someone’s building or property. You can check to see if you may be trespassing by checking the following:
   1. Is the property fenced or clearly enclosed?
   2. Were you told not to enter or are no‑trespassing signs posted?
2. Permission is also needed to enter or stay in a vacant building. This is a structure that is no longer lived in or used for normal business. Permission must be obtained in writing to enter or stay in the outdoor area around a vacant building if you have already been asked to leave and you want to return to the same property.
3. You cannot enter or stay in any park or trail when it is closed without permission from the Parks & Recreation Department. Also, being on a golf course while it is closed counts as trespassing.
