About

Wheatland Park is situated on the sparkling shores of Pomme de Terre Lake in the west-central Missouri Ozarks. The lake spans 7,790 surface acres with 113 miles of shoreline, surrounded by rugged, tree-topped hills. The name "Pomme de Terre" is French for potato or "apple of the earth," likely given by early French trappers who discovered potato-like plants along the riverbanks. The campground features 41 sites: 35 with both electric and water hookups, and 6 with electric only. Electric service includes both 30 and 50 amp options. Amenities include two shower houses, a boat ramp with courtesy dock, playground, swim beach, and an accessible group picnic shelter accommodating up to 75 guests. Pomme de Terre Lake is renowned among anglers for largemouth bass, crappie, and white bass, but the stocked muskie fishing draws particular interest as muskie are rare to the region. The lake's numerous coves provide secluded fishing spots away from water skiing activity elsewhere on the lake.
