Our stay was not good due to weather. The campground was great and assisted us getting to the main road safely. We were staying 3 nights and only stayed one night due to violent thunder storms and no electric. We definitely want to come back sometime, under better circumstances it would be a beautiful place to stay.

We had one "adventure" after another with three straight days of rain and storms but not one disaster! The staff was amazing and it sounds crazy that we had so much fun, but we did!!!

Ownership and staff are great. They have been making additions and improvements every year and it has been exciting to watch. Otahki is favorite place to stay in the area by far! If you haven't been there yet, you should definitely add it to your list.

Beautiful area. Well spaced lots. Terrible directional signage. Water smell was terrible. Bathhouse was clean.

Check in was easy and our site was very clean and easy to navigate. The grounds were well maintained. The only minor negative is the mile-long, narrow loose gravel driveway into the campground.

1 1/2 mile gravel road that needed some work to just get to the campground. Campground was okay but absolutely no tv reception and only 2 radio stations.

Our favorite campground never disappoints! The people who run it obviously love it and want guests to have a great time. We enjoy exploring the grounds on the golf carts and walking around the lake. Since we do t have our camping trailer anymore we rely on the cabins, and they are cute and cosy places to stay.

Fantastic experience. Clean showers, friendly staff, dependable Wi-Fi, and lots of space to walk by the river and around their 23-acre lake. Would definitely visit again...

This is a very large property and they offer many ways to stay including RV sites, covered wagons, glamping tents, and cabins. They have very clean facilities. The owners and staff are amazing people. Large lake on property as well as river access. It is also next to a state park for more adventures. We will stay again.

We had a great time at one of the Deluxe Lake View cabins - the hot tub was amazing, and we loved the cozy cabin. Everybody was very friendly and helpful!

Super easy to book site- very accommodating- we arrived after hours but our paperwork was at the lodge and our site plowed out! Nice stay! Hope to return in nicer weather to enjoy all the amenities. We’ve stayed here twice and love it!

We only stayed one night in early December. Absolutely beautiful. Did not go into the buildings but used the shower/bathrooms. Clean and very nice. The grounds were well kept and we will come back when we can stay longer!

Otahki Lake is the most beautiful and relaxing place I’ve ever been. It’s so clean and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. It’s such a beautiful drive and the cabins with hot tubes are THE BEST!!

Wir fanden einen schönen und großzügigen Platz vor, der sich an einen See schmiegt. Erst bei einem Spaziergang zum River sahen wir, das am Ufer des Francis River Glamping Zelte angeboten werden. Eine Vielzahl von Hütten mit Hot Tub stehen verträumt am Waldesrand und See und laden zum Verweilen ein. Sehr freundliche Betreiber, die die sanitären Anlagen Top pflegen. Ein Platz sehr zu empfehlen

It was great the only complaint was that the mattress in cabin Lakeview 3 is BAD with a big dip in the middle . Our third year in a row coming to Otaki lake in November and we have had a great experience every time. Great place for families. Very impressed with the staff so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you Morgan!!!! See you next year.

Love camping here. Otakhi Lake is a beautiful camp and the staff are friendly and amazing. It is very peaceful here. I usually have a RV, but have stayed in the cabins a few times. Our daughter's family stated in the covered wagons and love them. I would highly recommnend Otakhi Lake.

We found a hidden gem at the Sam A. Baker/Otahki Lake KOA in Patterson, MO! While we were the only campers during our midweek stay, this actually added to the peaceful experience. The staff member who greeted us was incredibly welcoming and friendly, making us feel right at home despite being the sole visitors. The campground's facilities impressed us with their cleanliness and modern updates. Everything was well-maintained and spotless. We took advantage of the location to explore, enjoying a scenic hike down to the river which was a lovely addition to our stay. Though it felt a bit like having our own private campground (which was actually quite nice!), the warm welcome and top-notch facilities made for an excellent overnight stop. The serene setting and friendly service definitely earned their 5-star rating. If you're passing through Missouri and need a peaceful place to camp, this KOA is definitely worth a visit!

Ein weitläufig, großzügiges Areal mit allen Annehmlichkeiten. Die Wanderungen zum St. Francis River und um den Otahki Lake sind jeweils in einer Std. gut machbar. Die Stille wird nur durch die Geräusche der Natur unterbrochen. Angeln, Kanufahren, Biken, Schwimmen und vieles mehr werden angeboten. Ein außergewöhnlicher Campground in mitten der Natur.

Great place to stay. Store was somewhat under stocked, but it is the off season. We did not know we needed to reserve a golf cart, we do now. The price to rent a golf cart is a little higher than most, but if you want one, I guess you'll pay the price. Unless you're willing to walk to the lake, without a golf cart you're limited on access. Very well kept. I have already booked for next year.
