Please note: although we are not able to mark them off on the calendar, we do not do Sunday check-ins. If you check in on an earlier date, however, you are welcome to stay thru Sundays :) Welcome to Pfanny's Farm-we love sharing our little slice of heaven with our visitors :) A love for gardening and providing healthy home-grown fruits and vegetables for our family has supplied us with an abundance of produce for over 35 years. We have canned, dehydrated and frozen the excess but the kids have flown the coop and we have expanded our operations in order to provide our patrons with that same grown-with-love nourishment! Our geo-thermal greenhouse and 2 high-tunnels are the main attractions of our farm...we raise citrus in Nebraska! And now we are also delving into agritourism by allowing overnight visitors to stay and experience life on the farm. Tours are available for a fee-don't miss out on this experience :) A children's "trail-tale" can be enjoyed during a walk on our 1/2 mile trail. The trail is partially lined with a children's story and antique machinery for your viewing pleasure. The "binzebo" area, equipped with picnic tables and a nearby firepit is always a big hit. Enjoy a game of horseshoes or cornhole while waiting to watch a beautiful sunset, followed by a night sky that is unhindered by light pollution. The view of the Milky Way is fantastic! These are shared areas, so you might see us and our other visitors out there-join in and make some friends! We do have a very friendly dog-his name is Beau. He is known to hang out with our guests and beg for belly rubs :) Our chickens are occasionally free-range, so we require that your pets be on leash.

The best camping near Springfield Recreation Area guide

Overview

About

Whether you're into boating and fishing, hiking, or playing golf, Springfield Recreation Area has got you covered. Set on the shores of the Missouri River, this park has easy access to the river, so bring the boat and get on that water! Fish tacos around the campfire are made easy because of the fishing dock (if you happen to be here sans boat) and the on-site fish cleaning station. The nine-hole golf course with sweet views of the river is another great way to spend an afternoon. Camper cabins and a developed campground mean you can make your visit into a mini vacay and let your pace sloooow down. Or, if you happen to live in the town of Springfield, then grab your bike and hit the connected bike trail that leads you straight to the park. Now we’re talkin'!

When to go

The ideal time to visit Springfield Recreation Area is during the spring and fall months, when the weather is mild and the natural beauty is at its peak. Summer brings warmth and a full bloom of activities, but also larger crowds. Winters can be harsh, with some facilities possibly closed, so it's less recommended for visits unless you're prepared for the cold.

Know before you go

  • Check the weather forecast and dress appropriately for the season to ensure a comfortable visit.
  • Be aware of park hours, typically from 8:30am to 5pm, and plan your activities within this timeframe.
  • Some areas may have limited accessibility, so inquire ahead if you require special accommodations.
  • Always follow safety guidelines, especially when engaging with wildlife or during outdoor activities.
  • Facilities such as restrooms and picnic areas are available, but it's wise to bring essential supplies in case of high demand.
