Escape the Everyday at Blue Springs Ranch

Since 1988, Blue Springs Ranch has been a favorite destination for outdoor adventure, relaxation, and lifelong river traditions. Set on 150 scenic acres along the Meramec River in Bourbon, Missouri, our resort provides the perfect backdrop for families, friends, and outdoor enthusiasts to unplug, recharge, and connect with nature.

Located just off I-44, Blue Springs Ranch is an easy escape from the everyday hustle. Whether you’re relaxing with a cold drink, gathering around a campfire, pitching a tent, parking at a full-hookup RV site, or settling into one of our 33 cozy cabins or unique covered wagons, we offer accommodations for every type of traveler.

From sun-drenched summer float trips down gentle waters to festive fall weekends at Boo Springs and cozy hall rentals for group gatherings, we offer year-round fun. Cruise the property with on-site golf cart rentals, grab a quick meal from Buster’s Grill food truck, or host your next big group milestone. Whether you’re planning a family vacation, reunion, wedding, or weekend getaway, your tradition starts here.
