Story

Big Lake State Park is a state park located in northwest Missouri, United States. The 407acre park was established in 1932 at the northern end of the state's largest oxbow lake, Big Lake. Park activities include boating, camping, picnicking, fishing, and swimming.Accommodations in the park have been destroyed by various Missouri River floods. In 2016, the park became the first in the state to offer rental cabins that are still on wheels and could be moved in case of a flood.

This is an odd place. There is indeed a big oxbow lake here. The problem is the lake is surrounded by private housing, and these people PARTY on the weekend. There is no tranquility here. The park staff seem like they let the locals run the show. As someone looking for a quiet camping getaway I was disappointed by the disrespectful other "campers" in the park. Children literally everywhere with no parents in sight, bikes strewn in the road, screaming until way after quiet hours, and I swear the parents just didn't care. Adults were just as bad; but I had the pleasure of experiencing them intoxicated in one form or another. I thought I would rent a kayak, but the lake traffic was crazy. Didn't really feel there was much to kayak to considering most of the lake was people's homes.

Interesting place. Like Lewis and Clark State Park, this is a lake whose shoreline is mostly private residences, with a little bit carved out for the park. You might guess that could make for a less than 'peaceful' state park experience. The facilities looked well-kept, and the lake itself looked inviting.

The staff were helpful and accommodating. Kayaking was affordable and equipment was in great shape. The camp sites were as described and restrooms/shower facilities better than expected. However nothing can make up for the disgusting state of "Big Lake." There is trash at every turn and water visibility is about 2 inches.

The park itself is beautiful and well-maintained. I just wouldn't recommend getting in the water if you can help it. I will continue to stay at this park for years and years or until it gets flooded out completely.
