Overall a great stay. Propane was empty the first night at our grill and of course we didn't realize until after the camp store closed, but we made it work. Campground is huge and we are so glad we rented a golf cart.

We absolutely loved our stay. Everyone on staff was so kind and helpful. There is plenty to do and the shaded camper spot was so great. Bath house was clean and we greatly appreciated the accessible shower for our daughter.

Our stay was perfect for our family of 4! We have 2 little ones and the cabin we rented worked great! There's a great play area and riding the trails with the golf cart was something we all enjoyed. I was a little surprised that there was a rental fee for the water activities on the lake (maybe that could also be included with golf cart rentals), but I've no other suggestions. Staff were friendly.

We have traveled several different places throughout Southern Illinois and Missouri! And we LOVED our stay! The outhouses were super clean, lots of fun for the kids (and adults alike). We really enjoyed driving the golf carts on all of the trails, seeing several deer along the way, and enjoying our time at the river. I would highly recommend to everyone!

The only thing I was a bit disappointed in was that we couldn’t take our vehicle on the sand bar! Although I understand! The cabin was so nice.

There was a power outage the day I came down, which is out of anyone’s control, but the host failed to let me know even though she texted me instructions on how to check in since I was arriving after hours. When I texted her that the power was out, she said there had been an outage for HOURS. A heads up would’ve been nice, at a minimum,so I could’ve figured out alternative plans until restor

The BEST luxury outdoor experience EVER!! The cozy cabins with hot tubs overlooking the beautiful Ozark Mountains are perfect. We drove the manicured trail just one mile through more beautiful mountain scenery to relax in the quiet & peaceful St. Francis River. The family-staff members heartfully take care of every inch of this property and take care of the guests even better. My heart is happy

Very accommodating, friendly, courteous staff. The cabins were clean and the perfect place to come back to after a long day on the river. The property is beautiful and well maintained. This is my immediate families second summer visit, our extended families first, and they fell in love with it as well. We plan on booking a fall or winter stay this year!

We had a great, relaxing time during our stay here. We loved the view of the lake and the surrounding Ozark mountains. The South Beach is great for swimming and our short float trip was wonderful. Thanks to Dewayne and his crew for their great hospitality. The staff were all very nice. Make sure you rent a golf cart so you can get the most out of all the property.

Enjoyed this KOA. Only one night but wished we could have stayed additional nights. Hidden gem! Sure, dirt road leads up to the KOA, only about a mile, but well worth it! Clean grounds. Kind office staff. Trees. Beautiful, quiet area.

Our stay was Wonderful! We loved everything about it. We will definitely return and hopefully bring friends/family with us! Everyone if the employees were very kind and friendly. The covered wagon and facilities were very clean. My kids thought staying in a covered wagon was the coolest thing ever and did not want to leave! We highly recommend Otahki Lake Campground!

Lake View Cabin #1 was wonderful. We enjoyed having the Lodge for large family meals. Kayak rental for the lake was reasonably priced. The staff were very friendly and helpful!! While chatting with Morgan, I learned that her mother's cousin is a church friend of mine.

Nice park. Found the fee to use your kayak on the lake annoying, seemed greedy. A lot of gravel, didn't see any paved sites. Overall very nice park.

I was there for a women's weekend. If you're thinking about a place to get together with friends or family Otahki Lake has tons of amenities to accommodate a group and their staff make sure you have what you need. Definitely planning future group trips at this koa.

Just stoped to sleep while traveling from Wisconsin to rescue a Doberman from a kill shelter in Texas. The staff was so wonderful letting us come in after 9:30 and almost leaving before the sun came up. Pleasant, quiet, and the fog on the hills on the morning was breath taking. Lovely place to stay!

The owners of Otaki Lake are wonderful! We had some issues when leaving, so I explained that we would be a bit past checkout. They were kind, totally understood, and did not charge us. The fishing is fun, the riverfront is clean, and the entire place is so peaceful!

The camp sites were a mix of trees and non-treed,.giving everyone their choice. There are loads of activities and resources, including a lending library for books and DVDs. The roads are all gravel, making it hard for kids to ride bikes or scooters.
