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! This site has: - a 13' canvas bell tent -1 cot and 1 queen bed with memory foam mattress. This fits 3 people comfortably. -metal fire pit with log stump seating (you may collect downed wood for fires) -primitive table -Coleman 2-burner camp stove with propane -metal roasting sticks -4 place setting enamelware plates, bowls, mugs -large enamelware coffee percolator -potable water for drinking, cooking and washing is provided at site. -A newly constructed outhouse/compost toilet is provided down the trail. *GUESTS SHOULD BRING BEDDING/SLEEPING BAG/PILLOW* You should come prepared for ticks and mosquitos. Paths and sites are kept tidy with mowing. Parking is clearly marked and an information board holds all the info you will need for your stay---we hope you enjoy!

Easy to access and find, site was exactly as advertised/photographed, amenities like the platform bed, cot, and electric lighting made logistics much easier than a typical camping stay. Above all, my dog loved exploring off-leash!

Perfect first solo camping trip!
I’ve done a lot of camping with friends but wanted to start doing more solo trips. This was perfectly stocked with all the essentials which took any stress away from worrying if I had packed everything I needed. The site and compost toilet were both clean and easy to locate. Close to civilization but far enough away to feel like it’s your own little world 😊 I’ll be back and will definitely recommend it to friends!

Fantastic place to camp. Quiet, cozy, and relaxing. Has some trails to walk and a very clean composting toilet. Everything you need for a nice, easy get away in the woods.

Rejuvenating space for a tired mom!
I’m a mom of two about to turn 35. I wanted a micro-getaway for my birthday. A night if sleeping in a space by myself. A place to cook my girl dinner without littles telling me they want fruit snacks instead. A quiet zone to read my novel cover to cover. And yet, a spot close enough to home that when I inevitably started missing my kids after being away from them for five minutes, I knew it wouldn’t be long before I saw them again. Like, less than 24 hours long. Just enough time to savor the solitude. CAMP MOONSHADOW fulfilled my wildest dreams. A short drive from Springfield, MO and a short walk up a wooded hill—just enough of a hike to make you feel like you aren’t camping in your own backyard—and there you are. You’ll find a dome tent you can stand up in, layered with cozy rugs and a mattress waiting for your sleeping bag, plus cut firewood and all the camp cook out supplies you need besides the actual food. Without have to haul all my camping supplies and pitch my own tent, I was able to just sit back and enjoy my time away. Fried egg sandwiches cooked over the fire, card games with my sis who tagged along, stargazing, reading a spooky book chosen specifically to be read in the woods—yes please. Blair has created such a wonderful space at Camp Fernweh. I cannot wait to come back!

Our second time staying at Camp Fernweh. It’s so great to have everything we need provided. The new outhouse-composting toilet is wonderful, clean and well lit with the lantern. We look forward to many stays here.

Perfect getaway trip
It was the perfect little getaway and my family and I loved the quiet, relaxing experience. All the amenities provided helped the trip be a stress free event and the location was perfectly homey and quiet.
