The directions are simple, too. The camp is located in Rocky Mount, MO, about 8 miles southwest of Eldon.
Go south on Hwy 54 from Jefferson City to Eldon. The road gets curvy between Jeff City and Eldon.
Take the first exit for Eldon, Business 54, just past Opie's Milk Transport depot. You'll see it on the right.
Follow Business 54 through Eldon. As you leave Eldon turn left and go south on Hwy Y to Rocky Mount. Hwy Y is about 1 mile past the McDonald's restaurant, and it is a 'T' intersection. Hwy Y is a curvy and hilly road.
As you come into Rocky Mount you'll pass an Am Vets on the right with a gas station just past Am Vets. Turn right on the road immediately before the gas station. The name of the road is Wonderland Lane.
Go west about 2 miles. Beware of the first curve! It is a hard left and demands you slow down. After 1 to 2 miles you'll come to a big sign for Wonderland Camp. Turn right at the sign on Special Friends Road. The road is a short stretch of gravel about a city block long. Go over the hill and down through the gates of the camp.
