Wilderness Lodge is a special place nestled in the Ozark wilderness with cozy accommodations and wonderful staff. The kitchen crew provided delicious and filling meals that gave us plenty of energy for the activities of the day. The river was refreshing and is some of the most beautiful water you will find. Thanks Wilderness Lodge owners and staff for a fantastic experience. The picture below was taken a few miles away but gives you a sense of the clarity of the water. It's truly amazing.

I was part of a large group that rented the Base Camp this past weekend (June 17 - 19 - 2016) and we had a wonderful experience. 78 degrees, low humidity and sunshine didn't hurt either!

The Base Camp is equipped with showers, toilets, a screened room, kitchen and outdoor grill that can handle steaks for 75+ people. The grounds were tidy and the owners were attentive but not hanging over our shoulders. There are many different areas to camp and there is a good combination of sun and shade. Our group included 50+ kids and all had a blast the entire time we were there.

There is river access and an outfitter that is 2 minutes away if you want rafts, canoes or tubes. The camp is on a beautiful section of the river and the water was clean.

I can't think of one negative thing to say about our weekend. Our expectations were met 100% and everyone in our group would like to return next year.

I'm not a fan of online reviews but after reading some of the other negative posts (most related to cabins) I felt I should provide some honest feedback of our experience.
