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.

This is the best and cleanest campground I’ve ever stayed at! The owners, staff, and volunteers were all cheerful and helpful and friendly. The facilities were top-notch. The grounds were spacious and neat. Morgan was especially accommodating and helpful with last-minute changes and with seeing to all of our particular needs. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and the eclipse. Thank you so much

Beautiful well run campground!

I stayed here to photograph the total eclipse. Staff took extra time to find me a campsite with the perfect view. The open space at this campground is exceptional. They are working to get dark sky certified.

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.

My wife and I stayed in a "cozy cabin" at Otahki Lake KOA for the 2024 Total Eclipse. We enjoyed the accommodations, property and people there. Shout outs to Morgan at the Front Desk and Owner/Manager Dwayne, who were on-site day and night and provided excellent customer service.

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

The owner Leslie was amazing. We had car troubles and she went above and beyond expectations to help us figure out where to get it fixed, as well as helping us get back to our car. We stayed in a cabin, and it was very comfortable. The wood inside was beautiful, as well as the view of the lake. All the employees were very friendly and helpful as well. They also have good pizza at their snack bar.

We stayed in one of the cabins and everything was great, clean and comfortable. The staff is also extremely kind and helpful. Thank you for a wonderful getaway!

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.

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

We stayed in a Lakeview cabin, and it was amazing! Very clean and had everything we needed. The staff was great, very kind and helpful. We stayed for the eclipse, and they said that is the busiest it's been. I didn't notice or think that it was too busy or crowded because it was so spacious. My 4 children loved it as well. I'd highly recommend this koa.

Don’t know how it could of been better

Loved my stay!! Everyone is very hospitable and friendly! They made the eclipse weekend GREAT!

Your campground is far and above the best place I have ever camped. The area is beautiful. The only suggestion I have is to have bigger trash cans in the toilet/shower rooms. The small ones fill up too quickly. I will be back !!

Nice, secluded campground with amenities. A+
Apr 10, 2024
I can't rave enough about the staff and amenities. Everyone was super helpful and friendly, and it was very evident that they took pride in maintaining the grounds and creating fun events for the guests. My 11 year old had never been camping and he didn't want to leave. We will definitely be back!

The staff is fabulous. Friendly willing to help and even go beyond the norm to ensure our comfort and fun. This place is primo. Thanks Novalee and Leslie particularly.

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!

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!

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.

Unique
Only stayed one night while heading down to Texas. Wonderful staff...Fit all our needs.

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.

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.

We had such a wonderful, relaxing visit! Everyone is so friendly and accommodating, making sure our every need was met. We can’t wait to come back again!

Every part of my stay was wonderful. The staff could not have been more accommodating. I will definitely recommend this site to family and friends, and I will also definitely be returning.
