I had a blast. I came for the Otahki Council Cherokee Ridge Reunion. I appreciate you supporting our precious memories! This is my 3rd visit since you opened. In the past, I stayed in the glamour tents, but since they weren't available anymore I stayed in primative #2 cabin, since it was raining off and on. I would recommend putting a broom in the cabins. I will be back.

We HIGHLY recommend staying at Otaki. We came on a Sunday-Wed so the park would not be crowded. It was fantastic. Very clean. The kids LOVED the Rec Hall and I loved watching them play like we did when we were kids. It was fun to watch them figure out how to get into the phone booth and what it was for. They had no clue. My grandson asked if we could stay for 11 days next time!

came for a short quiet, stress free get away with the family after a very busy 2 weeks. the cabins were wonderful, staff was amazing. the amenities in the lodge were very appreciated by our family especially since we had rain for half a day. family played a lot of ping/pong and trivia board games. loved the golf carts. We will return!

The staff at Otahki are always kind and accommodating. They go above and beyond anytime we had a request. My family loves gathering in the lodge and the kids love playing on the playground. The staff here are the main reason we keep coming back!

We arrive late in the night due to unforeseen circumstances, there was only one sign driving to the campground it was a mile drive and it said dead end at the beginning of the turn. It was a mile drive up a gravel road washed out. There was zero lights to light the path and when we finally seen the campground there was still no lights anywhere. The lake is overtaken by seaweed and not fishable.

We have returned to Sam A Baker several times and have always had a great experience! From the staff, facilities, grounds, it is a top notch experience. Each year they have continued to grow and develop the facility and we continue to be impressed.

Otahki Lake KOA, has always been our favorite! Highly encourage anyone to check it out! Will forever be a huge fan! Amenities are great, the people are great, and it is a peaceful stay!

Always a great time! One suggestion would be to maybe in the future add a basketball court and/or a pickleball court for the older kiddos.

First of all, the staff were amazing. They were extremely friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the trails and riding around the grounds. We haven’t been camping long but this was our favorite stay to date.

Always WOW! We came in to stay one nite and were treated to great weather, great facilities and a wonderful experience overall. Last year our family stayed in a cabin, which was lovely. This year we decided to stay in a covered wagon and were very impressed with the spacious interior and cleanliness overall- our young kids especially liked the “drivers seat”! Thanks for another great visit!

We spent a few days in one of the cabins. I have been a KOA member for over 30 years and this is in my top ten. The cabin was on the lake. The view was gorgeous! The cabin was beyond clean and well stocked with towels, linens, toiletries, pans, dishes, silver wear and pans. We even had a hot tub complete with robes! The staff was very helpful and kind as well. Would highly recommend.

Staff and cabins were amazing as always, the only complaint is that when we're there in the spring you were able to walk all the way down bank of lake to the water to fish, this visit weeds around lake were 3 feet tall making it impossible to fish from bank and a lot of moss in lake that you got tangled up in when fishing, won't keep me from returning but would have been to be able to fish from b

Second stay. Always clean and inviting. All of the staff are welcoming and kind. Cole was especially helpful and wouldn’t accept a tip for hard work and making extra stops. Many blessings! Thank you all.

Amazing property- like staying in a bougie resort but in a tranquil, beautifully rustic campground.

Didn't stay at the RVPark. Stayed in a cabin needed more towels. Appreciated the bars in in the tub. Brochures said had gas grill. It was charcoal. Enjoyed being able to rent a golf cart. All in all a great stay. The little deli was great. We'll be back.

The campground is wonderful, clean and emaculate, but the people were the best part. I think this staff was the best I have ever seen at a campground. Everyone was unbelievable friendly and helpful.

This is one of the most beautiful campgrounds I've seen, located in a gorgeous area in Missouri. It is clean and well kept. Everyone was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back and have already recommended to multiple friends.

Our time at the Lake Otahki KOA was delightful. A few minor things made the stay less than perfect. The swim beach that looked so lovely in the photos was over grown with weeds near the water and not a nice place to swim. The shower in the cabin made a horrible squealing noise when in use. It hurt the ears to use and disturbed the cabin. Also the bunk beds weren’t made up—we made them ourselve

We love staying at Sam A Baker Otaki KOA. It is a beautifully manicured, unique multi amenity, cabin/RV CG. We return as often as possible! The staff is so friendly and attentive to the needs of their guests! Our families love playing in the river, fishing in the lake, and cruising the campground to the river in their golfcart rentals! A true gem!

Beautiful ride to a spacious friendly location! Was able to enjoy the river and their lake by renting a golf cart, which my dog loved as well! Enjoyed Bingo in the clubhouse with a friendly staff host. Good vibes, clean amenties and staff that greeted you before you greeted them which is refreshing and high level customer sevice! Also loved the evacuation plan they placed in my cabin, we felt safe

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.
