Where to Stay in Missouri State Parks

Sixteen Missouri state parks offer lodging, from cabins to yurts to motel rooms, and each park has its own reservation line or uses the central system at 877-422-6766 (as printed by Missouri State Parks).

This page lists the 16 parks the state names, which region each is in, and which way you book. It sends you to the official reservation pages; we do not take bookings or print prices, and there are no booking links or deals here.

How Booking Works

• Twelve parks take lodging reservations through their own concessionaire; each lists its own phone number on the official lodging page.
• Five parks use the Centralized Reservation System at 877-422-6766: Big Lake, Johnson’s Shut-Ins (camper cabins only), Lake of the Ozarks, Table Rock and Mark Twain.
• You must be at least 18 to make a reservation.
• Central-system units list nightly rates, a $10 change fee and a $20 or $25 cancellation fee; tax is added at booking (as printed on the reservations page).

Staying With a Dog

Pets are not allowed inside state park buildings, except service dogs. The Cabins for Canines program allows dogs in designated units at the parks above, up to two dogs per unit, on a leash no longer than 10 feet outside, with a per-dog nightly fee collected at check-in. Read the official Cabins for Canines page for the units and rules.

Camping Instead

Forty-five of the parks and sites we cover list camping. See state parks with camping and cabins and lodging.

What We Could Not Verify

• Nightly prices, season dates and availability for each park: not on the pages we read, and they change. Check the park’s lodging page.
• Lodging types for parks marked “See the park lodging page”: the state’s main page names only some types by park.
• Hotels, motels and rentals outside state parks: not covered here. We have not read an official statewide list.
