  Usually go twice a year. Once in March and again in October. Always a good experience. Facilities are good and relatively clean. I tent camp and the park is in excellent condition for this. Can get crowded on the river in some areas at times especially near the horn time. Have never hiked in the park, but have visited the hatchery and it's just Ok. Cell service in the park is non existent for some carriers. Everyone is friendly in the park and has a lot of regulars. Reserve a spot early!

  Four of us had the Chicken & Dumbling special...had virtually no chicken in it (a few shreds, all together about 1/2 of the size of a AAA battery) and the dumblings tasted like paste. The salad bar was the only thing worth eating. What's with this place? Don't they care? The breakfasts are okay, but the dinners are terrible (unless you want a hamburger.)

  The park is spread out and very pretty. There is camping or a room at the lodge. The lodge has a restaurant and also a cafe area for quick snacks. The ice cream cones are hand dipped. There are cabins availabe as well. The trout fishing is pretty good. It was very crowded the weekend we were there. The camping area was at capacity. We did enjoy some nice fishing anyway and a quiet picnic spot. Its worth a stop. The head of the spring is worth the short walk. There are many walking trails as well.

  As a solo cyclist I arrived there in thunder and lightening to be greeted by the bubbly and helpful Katy Holmer. She acceded to my request to put my little tent in the Picnic Shelter area and gave me directions and site information...plus a map of Missouri! The site has a useful General Store (Lodge) and wi-fi. Got a good night's sleep into the bargain as well. All for $13.

  I have always appreciated Missouri's many beautiful state parks and Montauk is certainly one of the good ones....especially if you like to fish. This well-stocked river (the Current River) and the well marked and maintained hiking trails are the primary attraction for me. We camped in travel trailer in Loop 4, which had wonderfully-spaced and level sites. The fire pit and the picnic table on a concrete slab was fine. Mostly we loved being able to see beautiful Fall trees, while sitting on the river bank, fishing or watching the folks wading through the water with their fishing poles. The bath houses were just okay, and definitely not very convenient. We stayed during the week (just before the rush of a big fishing tournament), so had lots of privacy and peace and quiet.

  Went there to let the kids blow some steam off - once we got them away from the folks who were actually trying to fish... things improved all around. :)Great, clean facilities - playgrounds for the kids, friendly folks at the store/lodge/restaurant, and the kids were just amazed when they got to see the trout in the hatchery getting fed! (It was fun and pretty spectacular for the grown-ups to watch, too.)Love the Missouri State Parks - and this is another great one! We'll be back (and try not to disturb the anglers too much).

  Great Missouri state park that is worth the drive. Location is beautiful and campgrounds are well maintained. Numerous areas to fish from bank if you don't have waders. Sunday breakfast at the Lodge is pretty good and reasonably priced. There's a few short trails to add to the adventure. Downfall...not much nearby so great to get-away but not if you enjoy lots of attractions.

  It has so much room and so many different types areas to fish. LOVE this place. Roaring River state park is 45 minutes from me. This park is 3 hours But well worth the drive. !! If you love to trout fish and want different types of waters this is the place for you. I rented what I thought was a 3 bedroom cabin. It is a house !! House is a little run down but perfect for fishermen or women whom just want a bed to sleep, a stove to cook and a super deck for watching wildlife.

  We live close to Montauk State Park, so we go just to take in the beauty and peacefulness. Many people camp here. They have a fish hatchery, trails, RV sites, playgrounds, fishing, and a lodge for meals and fishing supplies.

  We stopped in at Montauk State Park a couple of times again this past weekend. It's the weekend before Halloween, so they were having their Haunted Grist Mill - Voices from the Past. The old grist mill was "haunted" by non-scarey ghosts that told the history and original operation of the mill and surrounding developments. They had three scheduled appearances allowing 80 attendees each show. We went to the last slot at 8:30 and they allowed a little over 100 in, because they didn't want to turn people away. It was a great show. Very informative, not scarey, and fun for kids and adults alike.During the daytime - the grounds were well kept and the trout fisherpersons seemed to be hauling in the limits of trout. We also saw a really nice 8 point whitetail deer at a nearly catastrophic closeness from our car.
