    Otahki Lake Cabins and Campground

    Word from the staff

    This 1200 acre property used to be the beautiful Cherokee Ridge Girl Scout camp until it was sold in 2019. We have went through extensive renovations and development to bring this property to the public so that it can be enjoyed by our guests. River access and our private gravel/sand bars are available exclusively to our guests and have provided some of the most peaceful weekends imaginable.

    We have everything from glamping tents right on the river bluff (photos attached) to 12 fully equipped cabins with hot tubs overlooking the 22 acre lake with a beach and activities (photos attached)

    We have 4 Conestoga Wagons that are heated and air conditioned (see photos attached). They are the definition of glamping.

    50 RV sites with picnic tables fire/grill pits with a variety of 30 and 50 amp pull-through and back-in sites. We offer float trips, rental boats for the lake, and rental golf carts to adventure around the park.

    Otahki Lake Cabins and Campground

    beautiful cabins/full hook-up for RVs

    Went to stay in a cabin for one night, then extended our stay.   The place was to nice to leave.   The lake and St. Francis river are crystal clear.  Watched the baby deer, and listen to thw owls at night.   The cabin had all the amenities included, towels, coffee, soaps, dinnerware and cookware.    check-in was easy. Front deck included a B-B-Q  grill, and hot tub that over looked the lake and camp fire.   Our family will be back.   Thank you!

    Huzzah Valley

    Nice camp ground.

    We had a good time camping on the back loop. Sites 105 to 111. Full hook up, shade and near river. Plenty of room on the gravel bar to have fun.

    We floated. They picked us up and dropped us off at our camp sites since we had a large group. Expensive to float but we had a good time. Floated on Sunday to avoid the crazies on Saturday.

    Shower houses were not clean.... luckily we didn't have to use them.

    We've also stayed with a large group at Hiller House. Sleeps 20 with it's own private, clean shower house connected with normal bathroom. The house sleeps a large group and has plenty of room outside to do group activities. Kitchen is small but has a 20 foot picnic table in dining area. We were able to watch 4th of July fireworks from the porch. Need to drive from the house to the water but they pick up for floats.

    Timbuktu Campground — Echo Bluff State Park

    Awesome campground for pop-ups

    Having experienced many rustic & gravel campsites, paved campsites are a welcome change of pace. It’s a new park (opened in 2016) with amenities like (excellent) WiFi in the campground, clean bathrooms/showers, and a fully stocked camp store at the lodge. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. While there is not much seating in the restaurant dining room, the patio area has plenty of space for the warmer months.

    There is a large, modern playground for kids to enjoy and pavilions to grab some shade. The creek is a short walk from the most areas of the park.

    As time goes by, programs would be a welcome addition to the park - maybe even some geocaching or scavenger hunts. A small band of wild horses roam the park, but all we saw was evidence that they had been there.

    All in all, a great experience.

    Twin Rivers Landing

    Clean, quiet, well kept, friendly

    Large primitive sites with plenty of space and access to community water pump in each area. Full RV hookup sites with room for tent camping friends. Trash pickup. Bathrooms within walking distance, that are CLEAN, critter free, and well kept. Access to shower house near the main entrance. Laundry on site as well!

    The site we stayed at was a premium tent/basic RV slot, so essentially we had access to an electrical outlet and our own water. The site was huge, plenty of space for our two tents, a pop up, and our "camp kitchen". Each site has a pretty well kept up picnic table and fire ring with cowboy stove (grate that flips over the fire..does the rest of the country use that phrase, too?)

    We came in on a Thursday evening and had no issues checking in and getting settled. We floated the Black River Friday through the campground, and had a blast. Our 6 man raft was in great condition and we had no problems with pick up at the put out. Our bus driver was a magician, getting us back in record time. We camped for three nights. Quiet time beginning at 11pm didn't need enforcing, everyone was pleasant and friendly. The staff was phenomenal.

    We are already planning our next trip out and cant wait to bring the kids!

    Ranger Review: Midland Radio XT511 GMRS Base Camp Radio at Red Bluff Camp

    **Campground Review: **

    We camped at Red Bluff at the beginning of the off season, so it was a lot quieter than I bet it can be in full swing. As everyone else will tell you, the sites on the bluff provide a fantastic view! Right now there are about 5 sites up there, but they are under construction for what appears to be adding an additional loop with a view and I heard rumor of electricity being added up there too. Because we wanted air conditioning, we opted for the lower sites near the river. We camped at site# 28 and it was just right. We were not on the river but close enough to hear it. With the camper parked to the left, we could not really see or hear the neighbors from that direction well. To the right we had a large and long site with a tree line and hill between us and the neighbors. We could see them through the trees but it was not like we were “hanging out together” close at all. Sites 27 and 28 faced the woods so another angle where you felt secluded. A few sites down was a little spot that you could walk right down into the water. It was a tad too cold for us but the heat of the day made us really want to wade in. It was crystal clear and you could see a gravel bar not far from there. I believe in another area of the grounds you can walk out onto one. They do have double sites, some of which were huge! The fire pit we had was awesome, it had a ring that lifted up or down onto a raised concrete circle and had a grill that you could turn out and away if not in use. We are actually going to look for a ring like that for our home. This site also had what we were calling a cooking station. It was a tall covered set of shelves. We put our cook stove on it. The site also had a lantern holder which we used to tie up the dog when we needed to too. While there were flood level signs everywhere and you coud see where flash floods had happened on the lowest level of camp, our site was high enough to not need to worry. One day while we were there we went to Dillard’s Mill- a nearby park with an old water powered grain mill on site. It was peaceful and pretty, no swimming there anymore though. Lots of picnic areas. There is no ATV use on the camp grounds, so we went up to an area of the forest that you can ride in. It was not far from camp. The camp host was very friendly. The only thing that could have made this ground better was a dump station. Maybe that is in the plan with the construction too. I was hesitant to try here at first because of all the raccoon complaints but we did not see even one the entire time. So don’t let those comments deter you! All in all a great site and we will be back with the kids, maybe hit the bluff next time.

    **Product Review: **

    As a Ranger for the Dyrt, sometimes we get products to test from their partners. This radio is a fun and handy addition to our now growing Midland collection. It does ALL the things. We liked and utilized the NOAA Weather Alert Radio to help us to decide when was a good time to take our ATV’s for a ride through the National Forest. We used the AM/FM radio at the site for some tunes around the fire and the flashlight to take the dog for a nightly walk. The handle and shoulder strap made it easy to carry. Since we are new ATV owners, we were especially looking to test the range for this radio (because separation and possible emergencies seem inevitable lol). My brother in law lives near the campground so we set him up on his porch with the base camp and headed away to the ATV trails at the National Forest entrance. Every so often we would stop and check in “breaker niner niner…John can you hear me?” Sure enough, clear as day we got back a “YUP that’s an affirmative over”. So we got to the end of our trail, which we had mapped as 1.5ish miles as the crow flies and home could hear us, we got a response, then we spoke again and no response back (though he was trying). Occasionally in our trek the responses from home were a tad crackly but we still clearly got what was being said. There were so many features on this thing that we were not able to test them all in our weekend getaway, but I would recommend it if you have multiple radios from Midland in use. It has 5 ways to charge it, one being hand crank so it can be used in an emergency and a USB connector to recharge your phone with. My husband was excited about the eVox Hands free operation option. This will be great for camping and emergencies! We give it 5/5 stars for our needs.

    Timbuktu Campground — Echo Bluff State Park

    Busy, busy, busy

    Echo Bluff State Park in Ozark National Scenic Riverways near Eminence, MO is a brand new “old camp”. 

    Opened in 2016 the history is rather interesting. From 1929 until the 1980s, Camp Zoe was a children’s summer camp, founded by Russell S. and Margaret McMahan Louis County teachers. There is one of the structures still on site with plaques and information. More recently, it was home to music festivals — and an open-air drug market. I didn’t find any plaques in relation to that. However when the government gained control of the land in a court proceeding it was decided to bring more business into Shannon County by opening a very nice campground for people not wanting to rough it. 

    And “BAM” you have very pricey accommodations from lodge rooms, to cabins and two story condos. The campground is pretty nice too but lacking in shade and privacy. There are walk-in (uphill) sites and nice wagons provided to transport your gear. Not my favorite style of camping. Completely full and busy, which is why it got a 4 instead of 5 star. This may be your type of camping and you would say a 5 star. Reserve ahead, I mean way ahead.

    There is a huge pavilion that can be reserved that overlooks the area. It has a large fire pit and mega size grill, one of the trails meanders below the pavilion. This would be a nice venue for an extended family get together.

    This is a very nice, new, recreation creation. The playground was given two thumbs up by my granddaughter. Then the river, which you can see from the lodge and playground was given 12 paws and 2 thumbs by dogs and grandkids alike. Crystal clear ice cold water that you can walk across to the sheer wall of rock. Bring your water shoes, the rocks aren’t fun to walk on.

    A very cool feature , if you are lucky , you will see the wild horses that roam the area. They are not for petting, so use caution. 

    Aside from the abundance of people we enjoyed Echo Bluff SP.

    Meramec Caverns Natural Campground

    Nice place, clean

    We stayed there for a scout event. They had hot showers and bathroom which is always a plus. There was a little trash at the site but nothing bad. 

    We had a ton of room between us and others. We could choose our site. I appreciate that quiet hours were enforced.

    Timbuktu Campground — Echo Bluff State Park

    Missouri's best state park!

    This is really the gem of Missouri state parks. Rv sites are all full 30/50 amp with water and sewer. All spots have plenty of room but are back in. The pads are perfectly level and are concrete. Camp hosts are helpful and kind. The lodge is in walking distance and offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The food is pretty good also! They offer inside dining but the best place to eat and enjoy the outdoors is on their huge deck. Wonderful place all around and Missouri really has done this one the right way!


Guide to Belleview

The Ozark region surrounding Belleview, Missouri sits at elevations between 500-1,700 feet, creating varied terrain for campers to explore. The area experiences hot, humid summers with temperatures often reaching 90°F and mild winters, making spring and fall the most comfortable camping seasons. Local campgrounds feature a mix of wooded sites and riverside locations with gravel or grass pads.

What to do

Hiking trails: Sam A. Baker State Park offers several trails of varying difficulty. "The park itself is huge... Swimming is great at the river and my favorite tree is here," notes Allyson D., though she mentions it can feel "cramped" during busy periods.

Creek exploration: At Red Bluff Campground, the Huzzah Creek provides clear water for swimming and exploration. "The Huzzah creek is rocky but beautiful. You have to be careful because there are sudden drop-offs, it can be two feet deep and then you take a few steps and it's seven feet deep," warns Gwenn W.

Historic sites: Washington State Park Campground features prehistoric petroglyphs worth visiting. "Washington State Park is a hidden gem in Missouri! We camped in mid-March 2021 for 7 days and thoroughly enjoyed the area... The prehistoric Petroglyphs nearby are a must see," recommends Phil W.

River activities: Parks Bluff Campground offers float trips and equipment rentals on the Black River. "Access to the river is the best. They have float trips and canoes and kayaks for rent. River is crystal clear though it can get crowded," shares Alison S.

What campers like

Private campsites: At Marble Creek Rec Area, visitors appreciate the spacing between sites. "The campground is beautiful and the sites are spaced apart so that you don't feel like you're camping on top of your neighbors," says Mara F., adding that "they only have vault toilets that are reasonably clean and stocked with toilet paper."

Year-round options: Hawn State Park Campground provides camping throughout the seasons. One camper describes it as "a park like no other. Nowhere else in the state of Missouri have I been able to camp and feel like I'm in the middle of the Rocky Mountains. The car camping area is nestled in the middle of a pine filled valley."

River swimming: The Black River at Twin Rivers Landing offers prime swimming spots. "We liked going here. It was a little expensive as they charge per person and I have an 8 person family but it was worth it. The sites were big enough for 4 tents. They have a shop and the prices there were extremely cheap. It is right on the black river which was a nice easy float trip for us. Waters were super clear," reports Joshua Y.

Off-season tranquility: Red Bluff Campground can be especially peaceful outside peak times. "We were there during the week at the end of July and it wasn't very crowded. The folks that were there were very friendly & pleasant," mentions Kelly M.

What you should know

Campground size variations: St. Francois State Park Campground can feel congested during busy periods. "St. Francois is a nice park tucked in the forest off of Hwy 67. It's a quaint park that tends to fill up fast depending on time of year. The sites are a bit more snug together than I would prefer," explains Gonzo A.

Water availability: Some campgrounds have limited water access. At Marble Creek Rec Area, Mara F. notes "No fresh water on site, we had to drive into town on Saturday to buy a few gallons."

Noise considerations: Campgrounds near recreation areas can be loud. "The campground has oddly shaped campsites causing a crowded feel. The campground is also loud on the weekends especially if there are races at the nearby Bonne Terre drag strip," warns Cody S. about St. Francois State Park.

Cell service limitations: At Hazel Creek Campground, you'll be fully disconnected. "There is no cell phone coverage. Follow the USFS directions, not Google Maps," advises Art Z.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly water access: Marble Creek is excellent for children. One visitor shares, "This spot was perfect for our group of friends bringing children! Site #20 had a perfect path to the water, and a reasonable creek walk up to a swimming hole."

Playground availability: Sam A. Baker State Park has facilities for kids. "Great park for great biking, hiking, river access, restaurant, great camp store. This park always has a lot of activities for the campers!" says Jenny H.

Safety considerations: At Red Bluff Campground, supervise children closely. "The Huzzah creek is rocky but beautiful. You have to be careful because there are sudden drop-offs," cautions Gwenn W.

Educational opportunities: Washington State Park Campground offers historical learning experiences. "This park is so rich in Missouri and USA history - from buildings constructed by the African-American CCC stonemasons to Native American petroglyphs, there's some fascinating stuff here," explains Kyle K.

Tips from RVers

Site selection: At Twin Eagle Lake Estates & Hideout, RV sites are well-maintained. "This is very new campground and is changing as they continue to add amenities. The new General store is great and very affordable. The showers and bathroom are clean. The fishing great and the camp sites are spacious and level," reports Bill L.

Road conditions: Access roads to some campgrounds require caution. For Hazel Creek Campground, Sterling M. notes, "The access road was rough but my wife's tiny compact car didn't have any trouble, but I'm sure it's a mess when wet."

Glamping alternatives: For those seeking glamping close to Belleview, Missouri, camping cabins offer convenience. At Twin Rivers Landing, Shawn M. explains, "We opted for a camping cabin to keep it simple. There are 4 small cabins with a double bunk, table and 2 chairs plus the A/C. There is a little porch: nice for sitting or gear stash. It was clean and simple. Bring your own bedding."

Hookup availability: Parks Bluff Campground provides good RV amenities. "We had a semi-secluded RV spot. Showers and bathrooms are all single stall which is nice, but dated," mentions Alison S.
