I recently stayed at this campground, not for get back to nature camping, but for the inclusive and easy-going atmosphere. The outside music that plays with the gorgeous Missouri River sunsets as the backdrop is priceless. Each time I go, Im immediately put in a peaceful and happy mood. This particular visit, I found that Michael, the General Manager, is a work horse. It was obvious that he is dedicated to the success of this business and has a strong work ethic. While he was juggling 50 tasks for the business and visitors, he made sure we knew exactly where to camp and how to hook up to the utilities. He tried to offer us options to make the stay easier. Probably because I had run my camper unintentionally up onto a boulder! :-) He later dropped off an extension cord for us, since I didnt bring all the proper supplies and equipment that I should have! Thank you to Michael or Mike. I appreciate your help tremendously. Thank you Coopers Landing for being my happy place. To all of us: Take care of this place and always take care of each other (no matter where!) :-)

Nice little place to stop along the Katy Trail. Good selection of beers. Cant speak to the camping experience, but it certainly seems like itd be a cool place to spend a night.

A little backwoods, but thats exactly what makes this place charming. Youll feel like a river rat in all the best ways!

Great relaxing area to listen to local music and enjoy a few beverages. Awesome sunset over the water

Very disappointed in this business and our overall experience. We booked an RV spot months in advance and I even called and left messages multiple times to make sure we would have proper hookups etc. I never once received a call back.The day we were arriving I called multiple times, again, to see which spot we would be in… no answer. After driving down very windy roads with a huge truck and trailer, as well as a 7 month old baby, we arrived around 7pm, after a super long day of traveling, and no one was there. NO ONE.Thankfully two tenants that live on site were able to get a hold of the owner! The place had shut down a few days earlier due to bad weather. I 1,000% understand needing to shut down due to weather. I truly do. But WE did NOT receive any phone call telling us we would not have a spot to stay for two nights. They had enough time to call and have the port-o-potties removed, but not enough time to notify us we would not have a reservation.In most cases I would think to myself that they simply forgot to call us. However, the couple we were traveling with ALSO did NOT receive any sort of phone call or notification that they would not have a spot for two nights. Two reservations that were not notified… hmm.This left us and a baby, as well as the couple we were traveling with, scrambling to find two last minute spots at 8pm at night. THANKS COOPERS LANDING!On top of all of that~ we didn’t automatically receive our refunds, I had to call the place and request it. To be honest, I’m not even sure I actually got the refund either.I never leave 1 star reviews because I know how important reviews are to a business. I also love supporting small businesses… but this experience was absolutely terrible. I should have seen the red flags of not receiving a call back from the very beginning.

I absolutely love this place! The bands are enjoyable and its a great place to meet up with friends and be outside

Very neat place to visit. A lot of cool people camping out and they even had a band there playing some music while people came and went. Its a beautiful scenery and theres lots of trails to walk.

We really enjoyed our stay at Coopers Landing. All the staff we interacted with exceeded our expectations. Our River Front camping spot had 30 and 50 Amp service, water and a firepit. The marina was stocked with an unbelievably selection of beverages and ice. We also really enjoyed riding our bikes on the trails that run right along the campground.We also enjoyed the live music and food trucks that were on site each of the 3 nights we camped. (Independence day weekend)Overall a great place to spend a few days and well camp here again.

Great place, quite the experience. Its location provides opportunities to meet people whether they are there as a stop on the Katy Trail ride, for one of the food trucks, purchase one of the many craft beers sold,, or to listen to one of the bands.

Beautiful spot on the river. Getting there is not big rig friendly. Several miles on a narrow winding road with some low hanging trees the last half mile was a one lane gravel road with a drop off to the river. Sites are not well defined. Our 50amp did not work. Would not recommend.

Having stopped at Coopers twice now, its a nice place for a break and a brew. For me though, it just seems to be a little too busy. Perhaps Im just getting old.They often have food trucks and music in addition to camping along the river, so its a great spot to hang out with friends.

Pretty location! Great Staff. There needs to be showers and bathroom facilities soon.

If you want a nice quiet campsite, go somewhere else. Great Location right on the Katy Trail. Everything else sucks. Well, except the beer selection at the store is good. And if youre a partier and want to hear live music by local bands, this is your place, stay here...My whole issue with this place: absentee ownership. No one there, they dont answer the phone, and its expensive for what you get. We think someone was parked in our site, but who knows cuz nothing is labeled, and no one to notify. The store was supposed to be open Mondays, but it wasnt. When it finally did open (late, 4:30pm Tuesday, supposed to be 2pm-9pm daily), the employee was completely indifferent: send it in an email to the owner.Sites are cramped, mud pit if it rains, electric hookup is weird, could not find water hookup until I spotted a filthy hose that was left in a mud puddle that thankfully had dried up. I cleaned up the nozzle and used it anyway.Also, note that the glowing reviews are from people who did not stay overnight. Those are from the partiers who come to drink and for the live music... Also a lot of locals just show up to wander around the campgrounds and hang out by the river.In short, unless you like live music and drinking, nothing to recommend here. Avoid.

Although change is hard to see sometimes, thos is still an excellent place to soak up river vibes. The staff are awesome, the refreshments refreshing, and when theres a band the entertainment is excellent. And if you can hop a ride on the river, this is a good spot to do it from.

Great place to camp. multiple food trucks, great bands, and an excellent view. Staff were very helpful. Some of the spots are only for smaller campers but there were plenty of big rigs there too.

Fun live music and beautiful scenery. Not to mention they have a GREAT beer and drink selection and fun food. I cant wait to go back.

Visiting friends from Texas, they took me here, very cool atmosphere, although the night we had went, the music wasnt really enjoyable. Other than that great!

Its rustic! T-shirt, jean shorts with sneakers attire. Picnic tables, some with umbrellas and some without. The view is amazing!If youre planning to eat, then come early. The hotdog stand ran out. So, we had beer for dinner! 😂

Love to watch the sunset and the water! The live bands are always good and the food trucks are a nice touch! Make sure to bring bug spray and your folding chairs, as seating can be limited and are only picnic table seats!

An awesome little paradise Great people amazing music cold beer

Ride ppl run this place. My friends and I wont camp here again. They didnt seem to understand why we didnt want a wood chipper or tractor constantly going in or thru our campsite. Tried to talk to them and told us we could leave. Beautiful location. But they dont know how to run it.

Very safe space. I left my car door open all day by accident on Earth day. Lots of people walked by. It was opened for hours. The money and contents was never touched. Such a wonderful. Thanks for having us. We had an amazing time. Food, drink , and live music was awesome. Loved riding the Katy trail. And the new owners were very nice.

A little pricy but so conveniently placed on the trail that its worth the money. We rolled in at about 8pm to live music, a cold beer and a beautiful young woman to check us in. Felt like home!

One of my favorite places to go and relax with scenic views in Columbia. I love to take friends here that are visiting from out of town. I do miss Thai Food, but the last few times I have went they have always had food trucks. They also have drinks, snacks, and adult beverages, and plenty of seating area along the river.

Had a great time here during Ped Jam!. Beautiful place, even when its raining.

Super friendly and accommodating! Music and food trucks are an amazing plus! Looking forward to kayaking too!!

Great place to be outside with those important to you and to laugh and be near the water. It was muddy so couldnt get down the slope to be next to the river though next time, more exploring I will do.

Cool, laid back campground, general store, live music!!!! Usually very talented.beautiful Missouri ver and bluffs energy. Nice sceneries walk. Bohemian or straight the atmosphere Id open and kind.💯% recommend this place!!!

Great friendly place to access the Missouri river. Lots of entertainment as well right on the Katy trail.

Great place to camp or commune with nature... Check out boathenge its awesome!

Coopers Landing is gorgeous. Theres so much to see, do, and explore. Dont miss Boat Henge (see picture). My toddler loved running around during an event for MO River Relief.

Awesome location for live music, great drinks, views of the river. There are often food trucks. Mike D has done a lot recently to help make this place amazing.

Very beautiful location ... Nice River View. Great Live band.

Great place by the river. A little pricey on the drinks!

Pretty...the area could be upgraded...a motel? Food...real good food

The music did not shop up but it was not the Landings fault. The sunset and atmosphere made up for it.

Great location on the river. Fun atmosphere.

Great place to rest before hitting the katy trail again. 8.8 mile from there is Columbia

One of the best places to watch a sunset in the area. Nothing beats a beautiful sunset while enjoying a cold beverage and some unique eats with the river rolling by.

Nice views although tough to get to the water. Based on recent storms (6/2021) there is a lot of erosion and debris/downed trees. Heard evening entertainment is fun and nice.

Great people and atmosphere. And the best sunsets for miles! Magical corner of the river.

Down home river bank! Relaxing , Friendly Staff and my favorite Clean Restrooms!

Awesome place. Lots of live music and rotating food trucks. Great view of the Missouri River. Good choice of beers.

Nice spot for camping or just z picknick...there one store but it was closed when i visited so i cannor comment on it.

Nice place to stop and see the river ,get a cold beer (huge selection) , get a bite & maybe listen to some music !

This is our favorite place to bring out of town visitors to see the beauty of the Missouri River.

We love Coopers Landing! It is our favorite stop on or ride every Sunday!

One of the best places to relax and marvel at sunsets on the Missouri River

Nice place to hop on the trail or have a drink and listen to music

Primitive getaway, with food trucks and music. Walking trail.

Enjoyable place to visist! Live music be bussin.

Always a beautiful view, great atmosphere and cold drinks!

Great food, great people, great views of the river. If you want to experience real MO, you come here.

My first visit to Cooper’s Landing and I had a great time! A great relaxing view of the river, with good food and music!

Beautiful scenic river views, peaceful atmosphere, friendly staff, great live music & food truck eats!

A good place to hang out and have a good time

Not the same family kinda vibe I used to get from going there, now its just kinda alright instead of awesome

Was a great relaxing experience with live music, good crowd and outdoor setting.

Good music, the view was amazing. Only problem was parking.

Great place to hangout and drink a beer.

Great place to enjoy the outdoors! Fire pit is a great place to sit, as is anywhere along the river.

Beautiful place with awesome local food trucks!

The best place to catch sunsets. Great music and atmosphere!!!

Cold drinks and fun atmosphere

Coopers landing is an interesting place on the Missouri River. Its a bit rugged, not having any pavement but gravel for its road and walkways. When we got there, it would rain the night before and was quite muddy. We were able to find a dry spot to unload our bicycles. The store is interesting and theyve always had good music on weekends. I dont know if thats still going on as we dont get out much due to Covid-19.

Great crowd, great food and awesome view!!!

Beautiful views, great people and they have food trucks there on a regular basis. An awesome place to go to enjoy friends and the outdoors!

Friendly people, breathtaking sunset, and nice fishing spot! Very affordable!!

Very exciting place to bring your fam, girlfriend, or anybody to have a wonderful time 👍😎

Great music and sunset views. An environment you experience.

Great place to have a party.

Lovely hidden treasure on the Big Muddy... Known for featuring local artists and amazing food...

I love this place. It has been a great place to stop on the trail, but if you are riding hard make sure you have a mask because they wont sell you a water without a mask on your face. The view of the river is really beautiful and the outdoor seating is great.

Nice stop on the Katy Trail. Two food trucks offering BBQ and loaded baked potatoes. Small bar with bottle and can drinks available. Several small tables and picnic benches to enjoy a view of the river.

A must breakpoint on riding the Katy trail

Great picnic area with food trucks and music. Lots of sitting spaces! Beautiful water views.🌊💚🤗

Had a band you wouldnt believe that was from KC.

They have different food trucks daily but you can check online to see which food truck will be there. There is a stage for bands to provide entertainment. Campgrounds are there and there are hook-ups for RVs and campers. Plus an additional camping area for tents.

Friendly people! Took time to answer all our questions.

The one star is for Rodney being welcoming. We were driving across country and needed a quick campsite for the night and all the state parks required a reservation 24 hours in advance. After the long winding drive in the dark fog we arrived just before 9 as the restaurant was shutting down.We were shown a “campsite” near the water next to a fire pit where his buddies were hanging out. He kicked them out and gave us their campfire which was littered with tools, an I beam, and a leaf blower - we think they were “forging”.They kindly left and Rodney assured us that the lights and music would be cut at 10 when the dinner guests left. We set up our tent and got in hoping for a few good hours of sleep before getting back on the road only to be kept awake by several hours of late night partying. Someone shot off fireworks as a large barge went past and several guys walked into “our site” talking loudly to get firewood in the middle of the night. We felt totally unsafe and got no sleep. Don’t waste your $20 unless you’re looking to stay up partying all night next to the river.

Super helpful and friendly staff.

By far our favorite spot on the Katy Trail! We biked in later than usual, and were greeted by Rodney, who let us shower, gave us the best camping spot, and even opened up shop so we can buy some cold craft beers. The scenery, strong coffee, food truck variety, and music is unparalleled. Coopers Landing is a GEM!Rodney - you are the best! Thank you!

Need cfc to take a short road trip? This is the place to go

Not the same since Mike left.

Amazing place! Great atmosphere.

Not very pretty in March. Cant wait for summer.

This place has got it all! Killer views, cold beer, food truck(s), plenty of seating! They have everything spaced out nicely so you can get out of the house, get fresh air and support local all in one go. Its right on the Katy trail so if you drive out there you can take a nice stroll if you feel like it.

Not a place for family camping. Too loud, too obnoxious the gravel road is too busy and their fire pits need work they do not have grates on them. The good side of this place is it is beautiful and their staff is very friendly and they allow dogs as long as they are on a leash. However, I would not recommend it for families.

Awesome hang out.

Beautiful place to go, family friendly, great food.

Nice chill little place next to the river. Has live music and food trucks sometimes. Cold beer and nice country outdoor area.

Sweet little picnic area, nice sunshine, cool blue bus

Great place under new management. The place has really cleaned up and is a great place to relax with a cold beer. The river view with its sunset and relaxing way it goes on its journey is tge best medicine.

Fantastic place. Breezy. Great for camping.

Fantastic vibes, great food, and beautiful views!🤩

Chill spot! Great view of the River. Was a pretty busy weekend when we stopped over for 1 night. No bathrooms as of right now (porta potty) Our neighbor told us they were washed away in a flood the prior year.

Coopers is a great spot to watch the sunset on the river.

Nice quiet place to spend the night. On the Missouri River. No sewer hookups.

Beautiful views, fun atmosphere. Because of the well laid out outdoor space, very easy to social distance.

Looks like a great place for camping.
