Campground Reviews

We came to the KOA camp for a family reunion and were so happy with the cabins and the entire place. The cabins were very clean and the staff was so helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back soon!

Extremely friendly staff from check in , store purchases, and float guide. Beautiful camp ground with many things to do. I enjoyed walking around the lake and letting my dog Oliver stretch his legs. Will be coming back!

We really enjoyed our stay. Only negative:1. we were surprised to see the size of the cabin; it was a lot smaller than we expected. The "loft bed" was literally a flat "mattress/cushion" laying on the floor. You had to crawl to get in or you would bust your head on the ceiling. 2. There were stain spots on a couple of the sheets/blankets and towels/washrags, we went and got our own instead.

We only stayed one night, but it was great! The view was spectacular, and the night sky was wonderful. The staff are so helpful and friendly. We will be arranging future trips to spend more time here and definitely telling or friends!

Book your stay while you can as when this park becomes known, I predict, getting a reservation will be very difficult. Friendly, helpful staff, plenty of room to roam and explore. Quiet and dark skies for star watching. Something for everyone!

We enjoyed our stay here- the cabin was nice and the hot tub was a great addition that our kids LOVED. However, with all of that aside we specifically choose this location due to the fact we would have river access AND a lake. While we had a great view of the lake, it was over ran with a fungus that left us not able to swim, fish or use our kayak. Due to this fact, we will not be returning.

The staff were great! So friendly. The lake was fun fishing off the dock. The only bad thing we picked the hottest weekend to stay in the glamping tent and it was extremely hot with the air conditioner. We ended up driving around to cool down. But we will go back just not in tent in summer.

My best friend and I stayed in a cabin with a beautiful view in front. We swam in the river, rented a golf cart and explored the area, and had a nice campfire to relax by. Really nice place.

We had the place to ourselves. The camp host was great. We had a small problem and she came right over.

Were do I begin? The weather was great, the staff went up and behind the call of duty sort of speak. It was more awesome in person. The only one thing I would suggest is a cook top in Lakeview cabin #1. We cooked on the grill, but no one knew how to work the grill. Lol... luckily I remembered the full propane tank. We are coming back hopefully again, this fall.

The only thing keeping this from 5/5 stars is the wall of algae surrounding the lake (particularly the swim beach). Everything else was perfect! The staff was friendly and caring, the facilities were clean and comfortable, the cabins were perfect and around every corner was an amazing view. We will DEFINITELY be back and will be recommending!

The cabin we stayed in was very nice. We will probably not be back due to the road coming in to the campground

We had a group of 8. Some in campers, some in cabins. Our entire stay was amazing! There is so much to do. The staff was always available for any and all of our questions or just to visit with. So very friendly. Christmas in July activities were family friendly and even had snow for a snowball fight The camp is absolutely beautiful and very well maintained. We can't wait until our next v

Beautiful Campground! Great Amenities!

We love the campground and have been there before. My biggest complaint is the state of the lake. We went swimming in it last summer and this summer that was not possible. It was disgusting and needs dredging or something to clean it up.

We love the park, but the gravel road is pretty bad. The swim beach was unusable due to alge, and our power at the campsite was not fully working until some time in the middle of our first night. I hope the best for this lovely place, but we will not return until the road is improved.

Beautifully maintained campground, and our cabin had everything we needed. We did one of their river floats, and had such a good time. It was fun and relaxing. Their store was cute and had cool souvenirs (some even handmade) in addition to the typical snacks and supplies. We didn't try their snack bar but saw they serve pizzas. I felt like I needed twice as much time there to enjoy it all!

It was a pleasant stay except for the poison ivy on most of the trees also there was a big dead tree in the middle of the campsite.

Beautiful and great campground. A little pricey and the sewer drain we had was higher than the site...difficult to drain the tanks. The office people were very frindly and nice.

Otahki is nice friendly place to stay. You have the choice of a large beautiful lake or the river. The game room has lots of tables and space to cool off and relax. The kids had room to play whiffle ball and other games near our campsite, as well as enjoy their bikes. The bounce pad is a nice addition for the children.

We really enjoyed our stay. One feature we really like is that the sites are spread out with plenty of space to enjoy a peaceful visit. There are things to do, however I will say that the price for a raft float were quite high. I just wanted to use my intex float to have a relaxing float on the lake & was dismayed to find that you restrict any floats unless they are rented from you.

Bathrooms were superb! Golf carts should come at a discount considering how far amenities are. Everything was SO FAR from our site. We were told by our check in staff that it was just a “few sites down” to the restroom which was VERY inaccurate. Looks like this park will be really nice in a couple years after things get more established. Bring your bug repellent as the ticks are aplenty.

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.
