Camp Fernweh feels like your own personal Scout Camp, perched uphill amidst a mix of hardwoods and junipers!
In the spirit of Swedish "Lagom" we have created the "just right balance" for a camping adventure that has ease without taking away the adventure.
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.
Despite being conveniently close to your car, our campsites exude a sense of privacy and seclusion. Our property is 5 acres so your walk won't be too far to your camp, but you may want to consider the uphill and rocky trails to your campsite when packing.
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.
This Autumn you'll find that we are working on glade restoration throughout our property by thinning out eastern red cedar and native plantings!
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, Dirt 66 mountain biking, Sac River mountain biking, 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!We call this site, Moonshadow. It 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!
