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!
This was a wonderful park! The last 2 miles are on gravel road, but don't let that deter you. Very easy to drive on with our RV. Very clean park and the stars are amazing. Very dark skies and a wonderful place to stargaze. Bathrooms are incredibly clean and individual. We were there the 3rd week in October and the trees were in peak. Beautiful to see reflecting off the water and lots of places to walk. Even have a trail that goes all around the lake. Will definitely come back next time we are in the area.
Otahki Lake is THE BEST place to rest and relax. (We stay in the Lake View Cabins with the hot tub. LOVE THAT!!) The huge lake is breathtaking all hours of the day. Every inch of this huge property is maintained and beautiful. Even the gravel roads are NICE! We love taking the golf cars around the whole property. So peaceful. Deer and turkey are everywhere. AND THE STARS!!! The sky is sooo dark you can see every star. The crew is always so happy, friendly, and helpful. This man definitely our favorite vacation. We will be back soon!!
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.
Beautiful MUST STOP in SE Missouri! Clean, very friendly site tucked away in the Ozarks off the beaten path. Very well built and maintained cabins and amenities, great staff and caring management/ownership. Great amount of space for maneuvering rig and getting parked. Nice lake and breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, truly a must stop for the outdoors camping crowd. Thank you for the wonderful stay and memorable experience!
