About Sand Spring Resort

Located in Lebanon, Missouri, this Ozarks getaway provides lodging, camping, and river recreation access for travelers exploring the region.

What distinguishes Sand Spring Resort is its direct private access to the Niangua River, complete with an on-site store stocking fishing tackle and resort merchandise.

A reviewer named Jeremy recommended using a 4-wheel drive vehicle for accessing the private river access due to rough terrain.
