Campground Reviews

The the staff is very friendly and the place is well taken care of. The mattress in our cabin was very hard, so not the most comfortable. I think the golf cart prices are high considering you can’t drive them down to the water because you will get stuck in the rocks. Beautiful area and very quiet location.

Nature offerings lovely. Few missing items in cabin. A pot for cooking, a working lighter, no working remote for tv.

We stayed for 5 days and we kept losing water in our cabin. It was very inconvenient not having water to flush toilet or wash hands.

Beautifully maintained! Lots to do with kids and adults. Super friendly staff. So many great interactive programs offered too. I would highly recommend this site and I will definitely be back with my family. A+++

The place did not live up to it's description. The lake was overgrown with water vegetation and could not fish or swim. The wifi was horrible and useless. The shower house stunk horribly. The staff seemed very disinterested when interacted with. No shade in the pull through camp spots.

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.
