Ha Ha Tonka State Park is a state park in Missouri, United States, located near Camdenton on the Niangua arm of the Lake of the Ozarks. The area has several caves, sinkholes, and bluffs overlooking the lake. The most notable feature of the park is the stone ruins of a mansion, called "the castle", which burned down in 1942. The state purchased the property for the park which opened in 1978.
There is an observation point across from the Post Office where one can view the "castle" and the water tower which was repaired in 2004, with a new roof installed. The state park is on a road used by locals to commute to work and the speed can be high; for the safety of visitors there are hiking trails to get to the caves and the castle, and walking on the road is not recommended.
The band Ha Ha Tonka (previously Amsterband) is named after the park.
