Rock Creek Glamping Hideout

2 sites · Lodging20 acres · Buffalo, WY

We own this property for over 20 years. 20 acres for our horses to roam and now we have decided add a cool place for guests to stay. Please be aware of that this is a property where we do experience bugs, horse poop and some horse/trailer traffic. We are trying hard to keep bugs out of tents and the horse poop in the pastures. The two tents are located on our property next to some large cottonwood trees and our house is not to far. If you have any special requests we are happy to assist. Please ask us about our ranch eggs. We are happy to share. We also own an outfitting business and take folks on guidedhorseback rides in the Bighorns for an extra charge.
