About

Wheatland Park sits along the sparkling shores of Pomme de Terre Lake, known as the gem of the Ozarks for its deep, clear waters. The campground offers 36 campsites with both electric and water hookups, plus 7 sites with electric only. Amenities include two shower houses, a boat ramp, courtesy dock, playground, and a swim beach. An accessible group picnic shelter accommodates up to 75 guests with electricity. Pomme de Terre Lake is located in the rugged, tree-topped hills of the west-central Missouri Ozarks. The lake is long and winding with 7,790 surface acres and 113 miles of shoreline. The lake is popular among water skiers and anglers, with numerous coves providing seclusion for fishing. Largemouth bass, crappie and white bass are common catches, but the stocked muskie fishing is particularly popular as muskie are rare to the region. The phrase Pomme de Terre is French for potato or apple of the earth, likely named by early French trappers and fur traders who discovered plants resembling potatoes on the riverbanks.
