Office was closed before 7:30 pm and was supposed to be staffed until 10pm. Key was left on a clipboard by the office door! Simple door lock with no deadbolt. Adjoining room door unlocked and neighbors kept jiggling the doorknob all night. Worst of all NO HOT WATER in shower. Of course no one to complain to, since the office was again unstaffed at checkout time! Never going back, never recommending to anyone. Also, nothing mentioned that guests must also pay a park fee of $8.00 in order to park at facility. But, no one ever checked to see if we paid it anyways.

Very quiet

Old fashioned

A mixed experience. Bad points: Photos of lodge in listing are highly deceptive. The rooms appear to be part of a large lodge. In actuality, the rooms are in multi-unit cabins (not mentioned in listing). I have no clue where the photos of the lodge were taken. We saw no sign of that during our stay. The pool was closed and filthy. We were told that the pool would open for Memorial Day, a few days away, which did us no good. (The inside room photos are accurate.) The restaurant mentioned in amenities is only open during certain hours and on certain days. While the office offered snacks and breakfast items for sale, and offered coffee, we had to travel to obtain a real meal. At bedtime, loud motorcycles were racing up and down the road, and someone was setting off fireworks. (Things eventually quieted down.) Good Points: The young office woman was very friendly and very helpful. As a cabin, the stay was nice enough. It is near trees, walking trails, and has a view of the dam-site reservoir. Bikes rentals available. Pic-nick tables, trees, fire rings and outdoor seating near room was very nice. The office sold us wood, but was sold out of fire-starting gel, so cardboard, newspaper, and matches were provided. We enjoyed a nice fire while listening to birds and watching sailboats on the water as the sun went down. The cabin was cozy and nice. Hot water in the morning. Would stay again. But, please, remove (or clarify) photos of lodge. Stay was not what we expected.

Great State Park accommodations

The resort is in a beautiful location along the Missouri River. The walking trails around the resort are well groomed and maintained. The room however, was a bit of a disappointment. The toilet in the room kept running even after flushing was complete. My husband notified the staff and nothing was done to correct it. The room is cramped with no real place to put luggage. Also, there were no condiments (sugar/creamer/stir sticks) to aid in making coffee.
