  We stayed at Thousand Hills State Park in Kirksville, MO and this cam pground was clean and had spacious RV campsites. The campsites were clean and the campfire pits were clean. The shoers and bathrooms were v ery, very clean. We were at campground 1 and although extremely hot weather, we enjoyed our stay.

  If you travel a lot in Missouri and are looking for a great place to camp, fish, boat or hike here is a perfect destination for you. Thousand Hills has it all. The camping is sweet, quiet it has nice tent, RV or pop up tent camping sites. There are a lot of electric hookups in campsite 1 and a few in campsite 2. There are nice bathrooms in campsite 1 with...........showers!!!! so you don't have to go a few days without one unless you want to!We live in Kirksville and even though it is so close we camp there often because it is so close and so nice!It is well patroled by the Ranger and the Adair County Sheriff's Offce, so no worries about safety there.The hiking trails are nice, not too short or too long. There is a primitive hike in camp site on the south side of the lake.Free (WIthout life guard) swimming area, and the petroglyphs left by the native inhabitants many years ago. If you wish there are cabins to rent as well and yes a VERY nice restaurant! With VERY good food.Toss in a marina where you can rent canoes, kayaks, fishing boats or pontoon boats and you can see it has it all!!Come and enjoy one of the best kept secrets in Missouri!

  My husband and I chose Thousand Hills State Park for an early morning walk when traveling through Kirksville a few months ago. Perfect choice! Gorgeous. Simply gorgeous. As we walked along the lake, I noticed a woman serving breakfast to a gentleman in a wheelchair, with a stunning sunrise over the water. It was such a touching scene! I don't know what their relationship is, whether wife and husband, daughter and father, friend and friend. What a wonderful caregiver to choose this setting to begin their day! I'll always remember that loving visual, and that lovely walk through Thousand Hills!

  We were with a large group that had arranged a lunch at the marina restaurant. They were gracious enough to open early for us that day; they are ordinarily not open for lunch on week-days. But...the service was terrible! At our table of about 20, half received their meals while the other side of the table just watched. The same happened at other tables in our group. By the time the second side of the table got their food, the first side was finished and had to sit there and wait. We got no explanation, apology or anything about why this happened. If they had agreed to open during "off hours" they should have seen that there were enough kitchen staff to serve our group of about 60 people in a timely manner. The food, when it arrived, was good and the $9.99 price for lunch was certainly reasonable. Hopefully the service is different when people dine in the evening in smaller groups.

  We made reservations to celebrate the graduations of our grandson and his wife. The service was wonderful, quick, and the food was prepared well. The view from the dining area windows made it extra nice.

  If you visit the Kirksville area, do not miss out on having a nice pic-nic by the shores of the Thousand Hills Lake....The Lake itself, I do not advice to swim in because the waters are quite chilly and murky and cottonmouths snakes, have been seen in it........But, great for boating or fishing.....It is the best place, I can think of in the Kirksville area to get some nice alone time with nature.....In the Fall, it is very beautiful, since the leaves turn into many different colors.....

  The main attraction is the lake, which seems clean and relatively uncrowded - we didn't boat. The beach looks clean also - we didn't swim. We really went to hike. We took the Redbud Trail which is not a long trail. It goes through some lovely woods, but the trail itself needs maintenance. Most of the steps are washed out to where you can no longer use them (so much for the stay on the trail concept) and it is poorly marked with their "Blaze" trail marking system. We were going to hike more but decided not to after the Redbud trail. We wanted to see the Native American petroglyphs but the building was closed. Really? The day before one of the busiest park days of the year - July 4th? This is a nice park that seems to be going down hill due to budget cut lower maintenance and management. What a shame.

  This park has it all! The drive has beautiful hills, views of a glassy lake, an opportunity for fine food, a marina and camping & cabins. I've enjoyed swimming, camping and dressing up for a good dinner at Thousand Hills Park
