Get ready for "scout camp" energy at Camp Fernweh, perched uphill amidst a mix of hardwoods and junipers!
Picture yourself surrounded by the whispering leaves of shagbark hickory, sturdy oaks, and the bursts of color from vibrant redbuds.
If the season’s right, you'll find pockets of wild black raspberries and gooseberries waiting to be discovered. Take to winding trails that span our 5 acres, inviting leisurely exploration or spirited adventures.
We currently have one 13' canvas tent with 2 "bring your own tent" sites in the making.
Despite being conveniently close to your car, our campsites exude a sense of privacy and seclusion, just far enough away to feel like you hiked to get to your perfect spot!
Being good to Mother Earth is at the heart of what we do. We prioritize sustainability with a newly constructed outhouse featuring a composting toilet, ensuring your comfort while respecting the environment.
Our inspiration for Camp Fernweh is the "sleep-away scout camps" we never got to attend. Workshops, campfire book chats and simple camping are what we do best! Check out our website to see if we have an event going on during your stay.
Camp Fernweh, just 15 minutes north of Springfield off Hwy 13, offers easy access to outdoor adventures! Within 5-10 minutes, you'll find Ozark Greenways for cycling and walking, 2 mountain biking parks, and hiking spots in conservation areas. Don't miss the nearby Frisco Highline Trail in Willard, MO, along with convenient grocers. Plus, Fantastic Caverns and Crystal Cave are just minutes away for added exploration!Moonshadow is located a short walk up a gentle incline from your car in an Ozarks woodland. Your campsite is sheltered among shagbark hickories and the delightful scent of cedars.
You will have privacy, the night sky and the rustling of the breeze and a symphony of frogs, peepers, owls and insects to lull you to sleep. We're consistently told by our campers that the site is more private than they thought it'd be!
