We stayed at Sam A Baker/Otahki Lake KO during the week (in May) and had the campground almost to ourselves. The campground is very nice and the staff is super friendly. We took a long walk around the lake with our two doggies and we all really enjoyed it.

This is by far the Biggest koa ever. Lots are spread out. Staff was great. Only stayed one night. But Lots to do here. Very secluded. Not by the interstate noise like many koas.

The only problem I have with the place is the road getting there is very hairy.

Hosts are wonderful, camp facilities are clean. My husband especially liked the free coffee every morning at the Community Center.

Access to this campground was up an unsafe road for a 34K lbs. GVWR diesel pusher after recent heavy rain. The campground failed to advise us of the road's actual condition when asked.

Wonderful Staff! Everything was spotless. They took excellent care of us and we will be back!

Loved the scenery and the single compete unit bathrooms. Would like to have more hooks for hanging jacket or rain coat while showering. The little golf carts are nice for getting around wet areas on the main walkways.

This was one of the most pleasant KOA experiences I’ve ever had. The area is beautiful, the weather was perfect, and the entire staff was terrific.

The grounds are very clean and well maintained. We enjoyed our rental golf cart very much. There are alot of paths and trails to explore and the golf cart was the way to go for us. Many additions are being added to the park, a bounce pad, luxury RVsites and enhanced wifi. Our site in Whispering Pines loop was large and private and the lake was beautiful. We are looking forward to staying again.

We booked Sam A. Baker/Otahki Lake KOA last year for the 2024 Total Eclipse from Friday April 5-12 but stayed until Sunday the 14th. Many events scheduled on the day of the eclipse with live music, food and a Star Tour provided by one of the local astronomy clubs. Absolutely beautiful campground. Dark Sky! Family owned and operated, I cannot say enough about everyone there. We will be returning!

Great campground. Amazing location. Pristine bathrooms. Nice lake for fishing with awesome trails for hiking or running. The staff was also amazing, finding eggs for me after I left mine at home. Just a reminder - make sure to bring all the supplies you need - the nearest grocery story is a bit of a drive (like for beer or worms for fishing). We will definitely be back. Thanks for a great stay!

We had an incredible time at the KOA campsite, largely due to the excellent amenities and the wonderful staff. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. The availability of golf carts and fishing equipment for rent added a special touch to our stay, allowing us to fully enjoy the expansive surroundings.

Beautiful well run campground!

Beautiful, large, and spacious. The staff was so friendly. Great place.

We had a lovely time at Baker/Otahki KOA. We had perfect weather and perfect view of the eclipse. The campground is enormous!! Room for all of us. The only criticism we have is that the roads are so so dusty. I'm sure there's still work being done and that will be fixed though. The food truck was a great idea. Our family ran in the 5K and we all enjoyed ourselves.

My stay was immensely enjoyable. I love the amount of available space, not just for camping but for exploring. The length of river available for relaxing and sports is extensive though given the temperatures I have yet to test. The camp crew were wonderful, helpful and so pleasant. It was a truly special few days and the full solar eclipse with all the additional entertainment was cherry.

We came for the eclipse and had a fabulous stay. The camp had wonderful activities for the event. The staff was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. We plan to return and to encourage others to visit. The star gazing is unbelievable with almost no light pollution. The property is huge with lots of trails. They have river access and a lake. Plus national and state parks are very nearby.

Enjoyed our stay here! Beautiful lake & well kept grounds. Staff were helpful & friendly. New KOA and they continue to make improvements. Spots were more spacious than most KOA’s. Entrance road is a little tricky, but they are working to widen it. They had planned a great weekend of activities for the solar eclipse. Cabins looked excellent & even have 4 Conestoga wagons to rent! Lovely park.

Sending special thanks to Lesley and Morgan for helping us both navigate the route and direct family members to our site!

The property was outstanding and the staff were awesome. They have it going, with all they have and can do there. We were there for the Eclipse and they had entertainment and extra things to do for everyone a few days leading up to the eclipse and all day during. We will definitely go back when back in this part of the country again.

We made the very best decision to book our stay at Sam A Baker/Otahki Lake KOA! Absolutely perfect for the viewing of the eclipse but with the bonus of the lake and the hospitality of the KOA staff. Large campground with spacious room in between camps. Amazing.
Apr 10, 2024
Super friendly staff, great sized lots. Relaxing atmosphere on the lake.
Apr 10, 2024
No doubt the best KOA experience we've ever had. The grounds and onsite resources were fantastic and the facilities and grounds were very clean and well managed. Moreover, the extra mile the staff went for the eclipse topped off the wonderful stay.

When we first booked our stay, I felt that the cost was pretty high for a site, but understood that it was for an event. (The 2024 eclipse) However, every time we turned around, we were pleasantly wowed by every staff member and volunteer there! Everyone went above and beyond and was happy. It was worth every penny and we’ll definitely be back! Keep up the great service!

My family had a great eclipse weekend!! Our grandchildren had a great life time experience, they learned all about the eclipse from the scientists. They rode their bikes, played on the playground, took hikes, experienced the star gazing and all the other activities including the face painting. Even found time to paint about 50 rocks and shells. Needless to say it was a great weekend. We will be ba

Nice, secluded campground with amenities. A+

We came for the eclipse. Loved the location (very beautiful), and we loved the eclipse events (music, beer garden, etc.). Staff were very friendly. We will plan to come back!

Seems like a new property. The staff were nice and helpful. Great location next to the state park. The lake is nice sized for paddle boarding or kayaking.

This is a really nice new KOA campground. Having said that, it will be an exceptional KOA when the road is finished. Staff were amazingly helpful!
Apr 01, 2024
Beautiful campground! We were only able to briefly visit this location, but the communication with the KOA was amazing and the location was beautiful!!!!

We stayed here overnight while make our way back to Illinois. Wow! Great place! We will for sure some back. Huge sites, a lake to swim in, river floats and a great rec room. Our only complaint is the road to get to the campground. Its is about a mile long gravel road. Seems only wide enough for 1 camper at a time. We did not run into any issues though.

Thiis KOA may be the crown jewel of Missouri when it comes further along. We will return.

This was our first trip in a new RV and this KOA is going to be hard to beat - the bar is HIGH! The owners were so nice and accommodating - the property was beautiful, and the spaces were generous (not on top of your neighbor). The bathroom/bath house was nicer than my HOUSE! Immaculate! As a bonus, the cabins will be great for extended family - truly spectacular.

This is our FAVORITE campground to stay at. My daughter and her friends had an absolute blast! My husband and I had the pleasure of hosting 3 11-year-olds, a 9-year-old, and a 2-year-old...all girls...and we made it out alive. That's how you know this campground is the best. Lol. We'll be back soon.

Beautiful views, bathroom and laundry facilities were great. Nice lake with a great mile + long walking path.
Mar 20, 2024
Location is beautiful and the staff is great but there is no internet or cell phone service available so when you work on the road like we do this place in a definite no. On the other hand if you want to get away and unplug it is great.
