We loved our time at this amazing camp! We had everything we could ask for and more! The ammenities were above and beyond what we were expecting (Hello propane BBQ!) The cabins were roomy and well kept. The solar lights around the property meant that visits to the outhouse were easier after dark and the central camp kitchen area was perfect when the may24 weather started misbehaving.
I cannot state strongly enough how much these hosts went out of their way to make sure we had the best stay possible. Jill gave us a tour of some additional camp areas (The Hobbit hole is on my bucket list) My wife and I felt extremely safe and welcome during our time here and our pups had a blast for their first time camping. We will definitely be back!

Thank you for such a lovely stay! Such a beautiful piece of land and very unique stay! So many cute touches in the hobbit house. Cozy and comfy. Lots of space to explore and still felt very private. Travelling solo felt very safe on the land and in accommodations. Was such a wonderful reset and pause out in nature. Hosts were very kind and helpful. Will be back!

Weekend Trip to Blue Rein Ranch
Stayed at the cabin. Quite enjoyable, bathrooms only maybe a 1-2 minute walk from the door, so not bad at all.
Host was welcoming and super friendly, but only half as much as the dogs, haha.
Only tip is as its a loft bed, you use a ladder with slightly smaller rungs than anticipated- so if youve got ladder/height anxieties, you may be better off sleeping on the fold out couch below.

We loved our stay at Blue Rein! Had lots of space to ourselves and it was very peaceful aside from the occasional moos or neighs from the nearby animals. This is the perfect place if you’re an animal lover as you’ll be greeted by dogs, cows, horses, pigs, and chickens. There’s also a great communal building with washrooms, a kitchen sink , and some fun things like a speaker and pool table. Would absolutely stay here again!

We had such a wonderful stay at Cathy and Todd’s place through Hipcamp. Cathy was incredibly kind and welcoming, and she even offered us great suggestions for local hikes and activities. Todd was also very friendly and helpful. Their property is beautiful, with a well-kept grassy area that’s perfect for camping, and being around the horses made the experience even more special. Everything felt comfortable, peaceful, and thoughtfully set up. We truly enjoyed our time there and would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable camping experience.

This was an amazing little ranch and the perfect place to set up a tent. The dogs were so kind and playful, and Wrangler stayed up to look over us as we had our fire. He was a very good boy, and this was a very good campsite!

We spent unforgettable time here! The campsite has everything you need - private space in a beautiful place, electricity, water, washroom access, kind people around. My daughter is excited about the horse riding lesson she took. So many things to do and places to visit in this area - Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, Kootenai Brown Pioneer Village, Lundbreck Falls, Oldman Dam. I would recommend this place for families seeking adventures during the days and quiet nature with campfire at night. Cathy is a very welcoming host!

Great tent camping spot. This is one of the best hip camping tent sites we have stayed at. The tent camping area is very private and with soft grass. Water and electricity are about 100 ft away. Fantastic washroom is in the horse arena which is about a block and a half away from the tent site. Hostess was accommodating and friendly. The song birds were a bonus. This would be a marvelous place for those camping with their horses. Exceptional privacy and shade. Another bonus is that it is within relatively easy driving distance of a World Cultural Heritage Site: the Head-Smashed-In-Buffalo-Jump. (Much of this drive was on gravel roads but was easily traversed.). I would rate this Hipcamp site as a 12 on a 10-point scale. I would detour to camp here again!
