The new Echo Bluff State Park is the complete, quintessential Missouri Ozark destination. As your Basecamp for Ozark Adventures, Echo Bluff State Park is the perfect combination of a remote location and connected accessibility to the best of the Ozarks. Here, you can pitch a tent under the glorious tree canopy for an idyllic camping experience, entertain your whole family in our fully-equipped cabins, or claim a piece of the iconic lodge as your own with every creature comfort. With the Current River a half-mile away, Echo Bluff State Park is set in a valley surrounded by towering bluffs, unsullied forest and cut by the Sinking Creek (the Current River's second largest tributary).

Fantastic. So much for the kids to do, yet everything is close together, making this perfect for families. The kids loved the conservation programs (we did two in one afternoon easily), we went on a little hike, the boys loved to wade in Sinking Creek and hunted for crawdads with one ranger. We stayed in the Lodge, it was beautiful, the food at the restaurant was fantastic, and they served my favorite Prickly Pear Margaritas. Just behind the lodge is Sinking Creek, there is plenty of rocky beach space for everyone to spread out while the kids play in the clear waters of the Creek. Adults and kids floated around on tubes - so in the summer take an inflatable tube with you. We grilled burgers on a community grill (due to staying at the lodge) by the playground, while the boys fished in the c4reek nearby. The best day.…

We stayed in the Lodge -- open, airy, beautiful. The room was clean and, not fancy, but very comfortable. Friendly people at the front desk AND friendly guests. The setting is beautiful and the creek running at the base is a perfect place to dunk at the end of the day. Our dinners were both delicious and everyone couldn't have been nicer. We jumped up mid meal to take pictures of the wild horses one night and then a rainbow the next night. There is room to improve on the continental breakfast and if I could make one suggestion, the restaurant should offer a picnic lunch to go for the day out floating.

My husband and I enjoyed the natural beauty of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways, Echo Bluff State Park, Blue Spring, Alley Spring, and Rocky Falls, just to name a few. We stayed in the Betty Lea Lodge in Echo Bluff State Park which opened in 2016. The massive fireplace, expansive deck with a view, and friendly staff provided a welcome. So much to do and see if you are a lover of nature and appreciate the beauty of spring-fed rivers. It was a treat to see the wild horses, too! A photographer’s heaven…

The lodge is so much more than you would expect at a state park. The building is beautiful, the rooms spacious and comfortable. The staff was friendly and very helpful. I visited a couple of years ago and the food in the onsite restaurant was great, but unfortunately they have a new chef and menu and the food was a big disappointment this time.

We try to float the Current River once each summer. A few years back some of our group (of 15 or so) decided we were DONE camping. The first year 8 of us were in a cabin and the remaining 13 still camped (yes...our group grew). The campers came to our cabin and loved it. Then it rained all one night and they ALL decided that the cabins are the way to go!! So for the last 2 years our whole group has been in cabins. This year we had 26 people (6 were kids) and I rented 3 cabins. We love the cabins. They are always clean, bright and comfortable. We do our own cooking at the shelters so I can't comment on the restaurant, but this year they added a complimentary continental breakfast!! Nothing special (cereal, milk, juice & packaged rolls and muffins) but the kids loved it! Hopefully someday they can add some hot (and possibly more healthy) options! The front desk workers I interacted with were all helpful and friendly. We needed extra towels and toilet paper and they gave them to me right away. Some of the things we really appreciate... Not worrying about rain overnight and "will our tent leak?" Full kitchen and refrigerator with pots, pans, etc. Great playground for the kids...really keeps them busy while dinner is being prepared. Sofa beds are comfortable!!! Outdoor balconys/patios for gathering and watching the sky. Nice trail around the old Camp ZOE..great even for the younger kids. I'm sure I'll think of more after I submit this, but we really do enjoy the cabins at Echo Bluff!!…

My husband and I stayed in the lodge. It was immaculate and such a nice set up. The room was nice, the restaurant was very good, the gift shop was filled with both necessities and much more. The staff at the restaurant was efficient and very friendly. The history of the park is amazing too. Camp Zoe Lodge is still standing along with the old horse barn from years ago. The activities program was great. We went on a hike with Jamin and she was so knowledgable and friendly. It was really a fun experience. Definitely a plus for the lodge. I was really pleasantly surprised with the whole experience. We would go back again.

I rented a 3 level condo cabin for two nights in summer (July 2022), which was over $300+ per night. Daytime customer service was awful. I asked for a late checkout, and it was obvious the front desk during the day could careless about accommodating guests. Also, the barbecue “smoked” entrees from the restaurant were literally inedible … tasting like liquid smoke to the max! Evidently they have a new cook. I am originally from Missouri /Springfield, and this is the 3rd time we have stayed at Echo Bluff in the last three years. Past visits were wonderful, but something has dramatically changed for the worse with customer service and the restaurant. I left here literally wanting to puke & press on!

So sorry to hear that your stay was less than excellent! I have spoken to the Front Desk Supervisor and she let me know that because of our almost complete turn over that morning that she offered you a 12 o'clock late check out but there was no way that a later check out was possible. Our housekeeping staff needs to get in the rooms and get them cleaned for our next guests. I also spoke to restaurant staff and they wanted me to assure you that there is no "liquid smoke" or any chemicals used in our smoker. We use only local wood for our smoking. Our new menu has been getting rave reviews and we apologize you were not satisfied. Hopefully you can come back again and give us another shot.

We spent three nights at Betty Lea Lodge at Echo Bluff State Park and loved it. The lodge has a rustic appearance, but everything is very modern and clean. The floor to ceiling fireplace is quite a centerpiece in the Great Room. We had two meals in the restaurant and the meals and desserts were great, and the Mercantile came in handy for snacks, drinks and gifts. We spent a lot of time on the back deck overlooking the bluffs and Current River and took several walks on the paths surrounding the lodge. I would definitely recommend this place and hope to return some time.

We stayed in the Lodge and loved it. The Lodge was very clean and had good customer service overall. The kids enjoyed swimming in Sinking Creek a deeper area near the campground. We also took a kayak trip down the Current River which was great fun.

We had a reservation for June 7 and check out on June 10. We had a situation arise and had to cancel. I called 5 days prior to the check in date. I understood the 7 day cancellation policy however as a disabled veteran things happen. Ruth would not accommodate only to reiterate the 7 day policy. With as full as the place generally stays they would have had no problem filling the reservation with someone else. So I’m turn I lost $189.00. Poor customer service and in good conscience cannot recommend this establishment due to the fact they put the influx of money before people. Save your money and stay in West Plains.
