My fiancé and I stopped here after not knowing anything about the area. We were just visiting Columbia from Kansas City on small family business. We decided we really wanted to spend a night just us out with nature, so we started Google searching. After being indecisive, we stopped at a small corner store about 13 minutes from coopers landing with the name Pier in it and asked the lady at the counter for a good camp site. Her recommendation was absolutely spot on! I have never met a more inviting group of hosts at a camp site. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, they had live music and drinks being served and all of the locals were extremely friendly. We ended out night warm by a fire as we watched the sunset over the Missouri River and woke up to just as beautiful of a sunrise. We will definitely be coming back for more!
