Camping at Whispering Pines Trail Ride

This is one time that we went camping in our horse trailer and our neighbor took their camper trailer on a weekend trip with us. The campground did not want to let the camper trailer in but when we told them they were with us they allowed it. This was the first time we had a problem with a regular camper in a horse campground. Today the new owner will welcome horseless campers.

We went to Jadwin, MO to Whispering Pines Trail Ride and Campground. This campground has over 100 miles of trails for horses. They have stalls for the horses, there are electric and basic sites and water is available.

They have bedding, hay and feed and firewood for sale and a few snacks and ice cream.

When you have had enough horse riding you can go search the area for other place to see. There are six major springs in the
area to visit.


Going down Devils Well stair way
We visited the Devils well while we were there it is a well dug by nature. It is called a sinkhole. It is 100 feet below the surface of the ground. You walk down several sets of stairs to get into the cave where the explorers put an iron gate. You look through this gate to see the lake below. To get to the well you go down a very steep gravel road. Years ago people went down the well and there is a big lake 100 feet or more below the deck of the cave. It is a very interesting place to visit and read the information on it. The explorers went down and put a canoe in the lake to see it all. They installed an electric light down in the lake area so you can see it from the cave.

We also rode across Akers Ferry that crosses the Current River below Whispering Pines campgrounds, and north of Eminence MO.

I have more camping and other information on Macdonaldsroundup.com

There is a lot to see and do around this area. It would take several days to see it all.
Grab your gear and lets go see it all. Stay in the saddle and God Bless.
