With a lifetime of love for the Ozarks Donny is anxious to share this unique opportunity to experience true wilderness with you. The trails are maintained with respect for the natural growth and inhabitants of the area. You may encounter wild elk and deer. Of course, visiting the property's herd of buffalo is a must. Your camping fees entitle you to hike the trail system. We also offer motorized recreation if you bring your 4 wheeler, side by side, Jeep, dirt bike or bicycle. Additional fees apply to wheeled trail recreation.Over 3000 acres of spectacular wilderness with over 50 miles of trails to hike or ride. One of a kind waterfall and cliff side camping is available, BUT YOU NEED A TRAIL READY VEHICLE TO GET TO THEM!   When you book on Hipcamp you will absolutely have a camp site. If there is a specific site you want you must book it on our website.   The Hipcamp sites are a first come first pick from sites that are available when you arrive.

Beautiful Views!
Donny's land was top notch! We camped at Scooter's Roost campsite and had a beautiful view of the mountains and valley! There was a fire pit and we set up camp under a big tree. When we arrived Stephenie, Donny's assistance, took us around the property on a side-by-side to show us some spots, so we can choose what we wanted! Stephenie was so good to us! She was knowledgable of the land and the towns/shops near by! This property is definitely made for those who enjoy the outdoors and overlanding / riding trials with your 4x4 toys! We brought our Jeep Wrangler and it was fun to get it off the streets and into some dirt! Would recommend for all who want to be out in nature! We can't wait to come back during the spring time to experience their waterfalls!

Truly was a magical place to stay! Had the back pasture to myself and woke up to the sound of coyotes, elk, and cows! I miss those sounds! Donny was a great host and I would definitely stay here again.

This was a great trip for our family. With two little ones 8 and 5 it's not always family friendly at OHV parks but this it's a weird mix where you can separate camping and OHV. We were there mainly to get away and camp and found the site the cleanest and largest I've come across. The bison were a real treat as well. The staff were some of the friendliest around and the hiking in the area surrounding is fantastic. The kids were already asking to come back before we had even left.

Donny personally took us to our camp when we arrived late. Our first camp was wonderful but our neighbors were less so. Donny offered to help us move in the middle of the night. We ended up waiting until morning when Stephanie came and got us to show us a site she recommended. We moved camps and had a spectacular day with a clear and starry night. Felt incredibly taken care of.

This is a beautiful property with very friendly staff. When we pulled up Stephanie made sure we found a campsite that would be a good fit for our family and went above and beyond to give recommendations for things to do in the area. I believe we did almost everything she recommended and wow, what a great place to stay. We did lots of family friendly things down in Ponca and also hiked one of the trails on site several times that was manageable for our 4 and 6 year olds. The campsites and trails were clean and well-maintained. The buffalo were really fun to see too! The road up is rough going so make sure you've got a car that can handle it.
