It is conveniently located between Jefferson City and the Lake of the Ozarks, six miles from Eldon and ten miles from Osage Beach. The private lake within is only 1/4 mile off of Highway 54, yet it is not visible from the road. The lake is spring fed by an Artesian well that was built in the 1960's. There is a boat launch area on the southwest side of the lake. There is also a public located on the north section of Spring Lake that allows access to the lake. The water is deep, clear, and clean which offers record size fish and peaceful relaxation. The subdivision park is three acres and sits on the northwest side of the lake. A shelter sits close to the lake that would make a great place for a picnic or family outings! Although there is no hunting in the subdivision, the ducks, swans, and deer are frequent visitors. Whether your preference is relaxing lakeside, fishing the nooks and crannies of the lake, or a place for a weekend getaway, you will find it here. You are also close to shopping, entertainment, and restaurants if your heart desires those things. Spring Lake offers all of this and a whole lot more!

Weekend Trip to Wildflower Camp, Hike + Swim

Camping here was the perfect end to our summer! Swimming in the pond was a blast and the hike to the little waterfall was full of neat things to look at. It was also great to let our dog be off leash, she had as much fun as we did! Like other reviewers have mentioned, you can hear the highway, but the campsite is tucked back in a wooded area and felt very private.

We were only here overnight, but it was great. We peddle boated in the morning before leaving, and the hosts dog swam in the pond with us while doing that. My dogs were able to run around off leash which was nice.

Weekend Trip to Wildflower Camp, Hike + Swim

We absolutely loved our stay at Wild Flower camp, though it was only a stop over on our travels from Ohio to Colorado. Jon and Kass (and their awesome fire wood-delivering son) were such great host! With excellent communication, easy check in and a clear map of the vast property. We had the Creekside camp all to ourselves and honestly it was so peaceful and perfect we wish we would have booked 2 days to take full advantage of the pond and trails. We had the best nights sleep, sounds of bull frogs, crickets, owls, distant farm dog barks, we loved it. Our Great Pyrenees got to meet theirs, “Jack” super friendly and sweet. Don’t miss this gem of solitude!

After a very long drive this was exactly what my family needed. Anything you can think of was provided. Warm water, a bathroom, potable water, microwave, kerig, TV and air conditioning. We were greeted by the owners and they even offered us eggs. We only stayed one night, wish we could’ve stayed longer.

Our 19ft camper and 21 ft truck fit with ease. Easy in and out.
