Call in advance, the campground is pretty far out in the country and small. I'm not sure too many big rigs could be accommodated. Amenities are way down on the 1-10 scale but the location and atmosphere more than compensate. A great view of the historic Missouri River, live entertainment and friendly locals added to the ambiance. It truly feels that you've stepped way back in time. The Thai food concession added to the wonder. If your thing is bicycle riding, you're situated on 30 miles of improved RR bed - fantastic riding. Coopers Landings is out of the way but unique and we would return in a heart beat. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground is strictly for adults. Campground is located between the Missouri river and the historic Katy Trail. The drive there was very pleasant. A remote feeling. You drive up to the back of the building, so it does not look like much. The front faces the Missouri river with rustic seating. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, they have live entertainment. The owner is very friendly and helpful. It was very relaxing and we will be going back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very nice, relatively quiet park. Blacktop roads and gravel sites (fairly level). Long pull-throughs with good Wi-Fi and excellent satellite reception. Most sites have a concrete patio and many have an upright fireplace. The office staff has always been friendly to us and the facilities are clean (but a little cold this time of year). Be warned, though, they've just installed two of the nastiest speed bumps we've ever seen. They're just ahead of the registration area and no speed is slow enough. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very nice park. Inexpensive for the high quality. Nicely landscaped and big spaces. Only criticism is that there is no cable TV. Wi-Fi works well. Very clean grounds and neatly manicured. A great experience--we will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have stayed here many times as it is close to family. We were pleased to see that the bushes that have blocked the entrances and the exits at each site have been removed. They were always a major problem in the past. Our opinion, this place has a "big head." They more or less have a monopoly in the area and their customer service suffers because of it. They are not friendly and nickel and dime you to death. We always start here and try to move elsewhere as soon as we can. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
I agree with the mostly positive reviews for the park. It has FHU, at site Wi-Fi, and both pull-through and back-in sites. There is no cable TV but some sites are cable friendly. I'd call ahead to make sure you can get a "friendly" site if you want to use your dish. The pool was obviously closed for the season and appeared to be on the small side. There is nothing within walking distance of the park except the fairgrounds. This is a good park for an overnighter crossing Missouri on I-70 or for a few days to check out the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The rate shown is based on a weekly rate with the extra charges for 2 kids. We had to watch carefully when pulling out due to the trees. We had no problem with neighbor awnings, but we were parked at the end of a row with only one neighbor. The park was very full due to a nearby Good Sams event and a home game for University of Missouri. We were pleasantly surprised that it was not noisy. The restrooms and laundry facilities were very clean. We enjoyed the chiminea and picnic tables that were provided. We had some problems with the WiFi connection, but it was stormy during our stay. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice friendly staff. Wi-FI works well. Sites are long but very tight. The motor home next to us put it's big awning out and we couldn't get our small awning out over our slide out windows. Trees need to be trimmed so they don't brush against the units when pulling out to leave. We camped here in a motor home. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We had a nice site. The staff was friendly and efficient. Luckily, the county fair located directly behind the park wasn't going or it might have been really loud and crazy. It rained while we were here so we didn't use the pool, but the grounds were nice and clean. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The price cited was the Good Sam rate. This is a quiet, extremely well maintained campground with pleasant, helpful staff. Among other features, it has an antique shop in its main building! Although we used this as an overnight stop, we could comfortably spend much more time at this location. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice park. Spots are close together, but it didn't seem to be a big issue. Nice clubhouse. Pool is only 5 feet deep. No cable, but good reception of digital network channels. WiFi worked very well! I was exhausted from driving so I didn't get to check the laundry and bathrooms. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Off the beaten path, but easy to find. Nice, quiet location. Park is well maintained and has something for everyone. We were to stay for a day, but stayed for two. One of the nicest parks we have stayed in since leaving Florida in May. Would definitely return if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice campground. Beautifully cared for, well landscaped and manicured. Friendly staff. Site was narrow but adequate. Would be a nice place to stay for a while. Good access to shops and restaurants and the Interstate. Would be a 10 if the sites were just a little bit wider. It was a bit tricky maneuvering out of the site with a toad. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Friendly staff, very well maintained. Easy on & off I-70. Great over night stop. I would stay there again. If you have business in Columbia, this is the place to stay! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Sites are a little narrow but they are long. The grounds seem to be well taken care of. Antenna TV was not great; there is no cable. Okay for a night or two. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great stopover place in my opinion. The sites are long,not too narrow for a day or 2. It was very quiet,had the surrounding fairground area to walk the dog,and was clean. No cable but adequate TV channels. The place was pretty full when we were there so I was glad I called the day ahead. We camped here in a Motorhome.
As stated by others, sites were small, but were OK for an overnight stay. Each of the pull thru sites had a small cement pad for a patio with a picnic table and small wood burner. Staff was friendly and the park was well taken care of and very clean. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very small sites, many very difficult to get in with a 25 foot plus trailer/fifth wheel unit. Our bedroom slide came within a foot of neighbors awning. Wireless internet not good, was told at check-in they were having a problem and it might come and go - they were right, it was not available except more than one 5 minute period. On the plus side the park looks good and is clean. Hard to understand how the GS/TL folks rated it as high as they advertise unless they reviewed the campground without staying there. Will not stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nicely maintained park; clean bathrooms; sites were mostly gravel, but level is questionable. Grass in between each site. Shade trees on each site but some are smaller than others, so shade can be limited. We rated this average for a couple of reasons. The first is the sites are very close together and the gravel space to park in is very narrow. The trees can be a hinderance to pulling in or out. The best sites, front row of the park, are reserved for the big rigs. These sites are wide, very level, nice concrete patios and chimineas. A few of the second row sites had patios but no chimineas that we saw. We are not in agreement with a park giving special treatment to big rigs for site amenities over fifth wheels or travel trailers when we all pay the same price. The other thing that gives this park an average rating is that a rock band was practicing at an adjacent property from about 3pm to midnight. Although it appeared that the building they were practicing in was quite a ways from the park, the sound traveled straight down all the rows, bouncing off all the rigs. We were in a location farthest from the source and it felt like the band was in our trailer. When quiet time is 10pm, but the neighborhood band plays until midnight, I don't see that being quiet time. We feel that the owners of the park should try to do a better job at minimizing the noise disturbance. We would not stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a fine park adjacent to the local fairgrounds. The facilities look like they'd be great for a chapter rally. We'd stay here again. Highly recommended. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Attractive, neat and clean with great swimming pool and pretty gardens. Sites are a bit tight, but we have a smaller travel trailer (23') and did not feel as cramped as some RV'ers have stated. We stayed 3 nights (a long weekend) and were very pleased. Had no trouble with the Wi-Fi during our stay. Restrooms/showers are among the nicest and cleanest I have seen. Nice little on-site store was handy. We would visit again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We were pleasantly surprised with how nice this campground was. After reading some reviews that suggested that the sights were tight we were a bit concerned but this was not the case. It was a very nice park. The playground was wonderful and the pool and surrounding area was clean. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed here on both outbound and return legs of summer trip. Once you find the place, it's worth looking for. Easy access. Great level sites for bigger rigs. Friendly staff. Nice pool. They were installing a huge playground climbing/swinging/fort near the pool while we were there. Kids will love it. Good place for overnight stop or a few days. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice campground, sites are a little narrow but OK. They had lots of rain and hook up boxes were in standing water. In fact there was water standing everywhere. I will stop again this is a great overnight stop and not a bad destination. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stay here twice a year as we visit family. They have removed many of the bushes that were such a problem in the past. The wifi works well. Clean pleasant park. Playground could be upgraded. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The roads are paved, and the sites are gravel with shared power boxes. Some sites are back-to-back. We had trouble accessing our site due to the large cedar shrubs on each side of the entrance to the site. The pool was clean. The staff was efficient, and check-in was fast. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was an excellent campground for the Columbia area - easy in and easy out. We had a nice pull-through site and a nice paved patio area. We didn't spend much time in the park since we were visiting relatives in the area, but we felt our rig was secure. We asked why they didn't have a website to advertise their facility. You really have no idea how nice the park is until you get there. We will return anytime we are in the Columbia area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
First Good Sam park that ever required proof of membership. Great little overnight park. Bathhouses clean. Lots of permanent residents. Hostess very friendly and helpful. Didn't use WiFi so can't comment. Utilities in good order. Big play area for children. Pool was clean. Not much local TV and no cable available, so take satellite dish. No large trees make satellite viewing exceptional. Would return. We were here in a motorhome. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Good in and out park, not much shade, good for an overnight, they are very concerned with YOUR electric, you get a full page handout on what you may or may not know. WIFI is fair, you get a full page and 1/2 of disclaimers about why it isn't working, they also cut you off after an hour. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a very nice park with a nice pool, pavilion, store and staff. The sites were gravel but plenty roomy. Wi-fi was spotty at first but got better later on. I would camp here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Staff were friendly and accommodating. All facilities were new-appearing, neat, and very well kept. We have never seen more immaculate rest rooms and shower areas! The park also has a banquet hall, special events room, and antique sales area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We had to pay for 2 sites as they didn't offer us the option of dropping our trailer. We had called ahead and the manager said they could accommodate our 67' length but she didn't say anything about paying for a second site. It actually cost us $46., not $24. The grounds were well-kept. The sites were very close together. It's a nice play to stay for one night. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Cottonwoods was a very nice, clean, well maintained park. There was lots of manicured grass and flowers. The streets and sites are narrow, but lots of big rigs manage to navigate them. Our biggest problem were the cedar trees at the entrance and exit of the pull thrus brushing the sides of our motorhome. We would stay at this park again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stay here often because it is close to family. The trees that they planted years ago at the entrance to each site have grown so much that entering and exiting most sites is difficult. They need to be trimmed back or removed. Playground needs some work. Otherwise, very adequate and clean. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Cottonwoods RV park is centrally located in MO in the city of Columbia. It’s just three miles north of Interstate 70 with easy access from U.S. highway 63. The RV park roads are paved but all of the sites are gravel. Most of the sites are pull-thru and the back-in sites, located on the last row, are usually used for seasonal campers. The longest and best pull-thrus are on the front row and are held for big rigs. The front row sites have better side to side spacing than the other sites and these big rig sites are the only ones with the chimaneas. The average site width for most of the other sites is twenty-two feet. If you have a three foot wide slide-out then you only have eleven feet left to divide on either side of your rig. Each site has a picnic table but no fire ring. The laundry, restrooms, and showers are very clean and well kept. They have a nice pool, playground, a dog walk area, and even have horseshoe pits. They also offer free wifi but it is among the slowest I’ve seen. The staff is helpful but not overly friendly. This campground is next to the fairgrounds and I’ve never stayed at the park when an event was in progress at the fairgrounds so I can’t comment about the noise. It’s quiet and good for an overnight stop. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Adequate, not great. The camp was clean but staff not overly friendly. I think this place is popular with the fairground employees so tends to fill up in the summer. Easy access to the Interstate. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This campground is adequate if you are needing just a night over in the Sioux Falls area. The roads are dirt and were watered 2-3 times the evening we were there and quickly became mud. The WiFi was very poor (we were situated midway in the campground). The access off interstate was good. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The chimeneas are a nice touch. Level sites. Long enough not to have to unhook. Well organized. Spent two nights. Good laundry facilities. Excellent store...a bit of everything. A couple of miles north of I-70 on 4 lane freeway to exit. Lots of add on pricing. Get just what you need. Wi-Fi works well. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here in a 45' Prevost Bus for about a week. Very busy park with easy access to several interstates, but very quiet. They get a lot of overnight stays here; however we enjoyed it for a week. Very flat, level sites with picnic tables and 'chiminaries'. One can burn available pinion wood in there and it's a very nice touch. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Staff was not overly friendly. The park was just a smidge better than average, just a few short miles from I-70 ramp. Several good places to eat at the I-70 exchange. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a nice park with easy access. All streets and sites are paved and it shows a high level of care and maintneance. We stopped for only one night so did not check out everything, but we would return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very nice, quite new, park. We found the people to be very helpful and friendly. All streets and sites are paved and in excellent condition. The grounds are very well cared for with landscaping and flowers. We will stay here if we pass this way again! We camped here in a Motorhome.
The campground is fine for an overnight or a few nights stay. Overall, it is a clean park. The spaces are a little close together but not terrible. I give it a 6 because its not fabulous but not terrible as some people have depicted in their reviews. Just watch out for the cranky camp host with a mullet. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
My wife and I overnighted in July 2004. The campground is connected to a fairgrounds and
the fair was in full swing when we stayed, making it noisy until late at night. There also seemed to be an uncommon number of loud parties in the campground late into the night and the management made no effort to enforce quiet hours. The sites are very narrow and the roads are so narrow that it's difficult to back into the sites (which you may have to do because they assign two units to their pull-though sites). I would not stay here again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is a nice park. HOWEVER, on the night we visited, the park was hit by a freak wind storm which destroyed the main meeting hall building, and overturned and destroyed several RV's. The owners seemed quite unconcerned about their guests and the damage to many of the RV's. They didn't even inquire when you came to the office if you had come out OK or not. We camped here in a camper.

Nothing special, was just an okay stopover. Fair was going on nearby while we were there causing additional noise. We camped here in a camper.
