KOA Campgrounds are pet-friendly and welcome our guests who enjoy traveling and sharing their camping experience with the family dog and/or cat. However, to ensure all of our guests have a safe and enjoyable time, it is important that you read and abide by the following KOA pet policy:
• Aggressive dogs of any breed are not welcome at any KOA. If your dog shows behavior that is protective and unfriendly to strangers, please leave them home. If you decide to bring your dog and it exhibits this type of behavior, the owner or management of the KOA will ask you to please find other camping accommodations
• All pets are required to be under the control and visual observation of their owner at all times. A 6' (six foot) leash rule is in effect whenever the animal is outside the owner's camping trailer, vehicle, cabin, or motorhome. No pet should be left tied up and unattended outside the owner's camping equipment.
• Allowing your pet to bark uncontrollably day or night will not be permitted and you may be asked to leave if you are not able to control your pet's barking behavior.
• Pet rules unique to the location will be addressed at time of reservation or registration. We encourage all dog owners to call in advance to inquire about any specific rules that might apply to their situation. 
• Service dogs of any breed are welcome at all KOA campgrounds. However, these animals must follow leash restraint policies and may not exhibit aggressive behavior.
•  Pets are welcome in our accommodations, there will be a $35 fee charged at check-in.

Our quiet hours are from 10:00 P.M. to 8 A.M.

You can bring your own golf cart for $15/day. You are welcome to bring your ATV,UTV,RZR, or dirt bike; for everyone's safety, they are prohibited from being driven through the park and are only allowed to be driven out of the park on the main road. *Failure to follow this rule will result in us asking you to remove the vehicle from the property and, in extreme cases may result in expulsion from the park without refund.

If you are bringing your own kayak, canoe, boat, or raft there is a $10 charge to put in on the lake or at our river access

Firewood is sold at the camp store for $6/bundle you may also bring your own firewood, but please do not bring or take firewood across state lines as this could introduce invasive insects and wreak havoc on our forests.
Campfire are allowed in designated fire rings at each campsite. We ask that the fire always remain supervised, stay within the fire ring, and remain under control, we also ask that you smother or douse the flame before leaving it unattended. Doing these few things will help reduce forest fire and help keep our state beautiful. 
In the later parts of summer and into fall Missouri often goes long periods of time without rainfall and the Missouri Department of Conservation and local officials may issue a burn ban at anytime without notice, If you are concerned that your stay may be affected by the burn ban please call at most one week ahead of time and ask about the fire conditions and the likelihood of a burn ban.

Safety is our number one priority, and the river water level is dependent on whether or not we will put you on the water. After long periods of heavy rains we may decide that the river level is at a dangerous hight and will cancel any floats until the water comes back down to a safe level. Any floats that have been scheduled and paid for during that time will be refunded in full.

Visitors are welcome to come look at the park any day from 9:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. For the security and privacy of all of our guests all visitors MUST register at the camp store before driving through and touring the park failure to do so may result in us asking you to leave the park. On weekends (Fri-Sun) we ask that you only tour the main part of the facility and not go back to the river.

We also ask that you refrain from approaching and looking through the windows of any of our accommodations (even if they appear unoccupied) If you would like to see the inside of any of our cabins, wagons, or tents please ask the front desk to confirm that it is unoccupied; and if it is possible we would be happy to give you a tour.
