Such a beautiful property! Thank you for sharing your oasis 😊
A truly wonderful site and Don is a gracious host, I would heartily recommend to anyone!
Absolutely beautiful property. Certainly more suited to RV/trailer camping but we had a fantastic time tenting! Just be sure to be self-sustaining
I had an incredible stay at the ranch! Everything was just perfect. Access to the water was fabulous! I was out on my board every morning. I couldn't recommend this place enough. Absolutely special, and so thankful I got to experience it.
My partner and I just got our first camper a few months ago and have been visiting lots of parks to get the feel for what we like. This is the first spot we decided we have to revisit!
Don is very kind, friendly and accommodating. As fresh trailer owners, Don was also happy to share his knowledge with us, which we're thankful for.
The lots are very clean and spacious, and the property's beautiful. We enjoyed hours upon hours of fishing, mostly from the little island where we had plenty of peace and quiet (and vitamin D).
I would recommend The Ranch to anybody! You gotta come see it.
Thanks Don for sharing your land, great spot, quiet, good fishing and swimming!
Beautiful and super picturesque area at sunset and sunrise. Perfect for camping.
So windy that it might “take your breath away”
Lovely spot, easy access, friendly host, and the other guests were great too. We had site 4, lots of wide open space, easy access to power, good view of sky for Starlink. Enjoyed the sunset and had a restful night.
This was the most beautiful setting we've had on this trip so far. Camp was very quiet, Don was very welcoming and accommodating. Thank you very much.
Wow what a gorgeous spot!! Such nice accommodating place to rest your toes in the water and enjoy everything you need…the hikes across the way are amazing too and don’t forget to head down to the beach basically to yourself!
Dons ranch is absolutely incredible and he’s a great guy. So private. So vast. Great beach and swimming. Great fishing. Great exploring. And beautiful sites with RV power and fire pits and free firewood for ya. We were at site 4 and it was incredible. We will be back.

The Ranch is a beautiful property with beach / lake access. The sites are private and well maintained. A super quiet property. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it to others. The host was fantastic. Don provided excellent directions and responded instantly to questions.😃👍👍
Large open space with lovely view. Private and quiet. Power hook up worked perfectly! Don was super friendly and helpful.

Site 4 - The Ranch
Don’s place is a private little oasis. - a world apart from the busy sometimes congested RV camps. You’ll find lots of space, greenery, a rolling meadow, quaint beach with shallow warm water, fire pits, wood delivered to your spot, well kept grounds, quiet atmosphere and best of all a welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable host. I’m a new Rv owner and travelling as a single female. The RV seemed to be overheating, and as I stood there on my phone with the hood up in a little panic Don and his longtime friend and coworker Dave appeared out of nowhere. He explained the issue and even how to fix it crawling right under the rig to show me. Notably, I felt very safe at “The Ranch”. Very impressed with the quality of this place and its host. A gem off the beaten path.
Site four has a great view of the lake along with power. We had pleasant and relaxing 3 days on site. We were lucky the fire ban was off during our stay so we enjoyed a couple of fires. Our host Don was great and met us when we arrived. He allowed us to fill our trailer with water so, we didn't have to haul the water to the site. This site does require some leveling if your staying in a trailer, we would recommend that you bring some blocking. Overall great experience Thx Don!

Site 4 was a beautiful location and a great place for fishing/paddling. Weather was beautiful. Don went above and beyond- very solicitous, checking in, offering firewood. Perfect stay!

Site 4 - The Ranch
Excelent property. Well taken care of with some beach front views. Beach is fine sand and grass lots of open lawn area. The dogs loved it with the property being welcoming of off leash for dogs that behave. Don and his family and neighbours are genuine and welcoming. We had a great deal of help from Don while stuck in a muddy area with the wrong tires. We found Don to be quite knowledgeable about the RV life experience and the pride in his property shows. We would like to come back at the end of the season if we pass back through. I would highly recommend this property
This camping is amazing! Don is so super kindness and helpful! He guided me how to park into the site, level the car and bring firewood, wifi… definitely recommended to everyone!!!

Site 3 - The Ranch
My recent stays at Don's place were quiet and peaceful. There was power to my site and water available from a hose at the main house. I enjoyed walking in the area as well.
Don was a fantastic host. He took us even though was supposed to be offseason, helped level us out and even fixed an issue with the door of RV.
Beautiful spot on the lake with a lovely little rocky outcrop. Big open area for dogs to run, deer everywhere.
This is a great overnight spot.
Don was incredibly supportive and communicative as several tornado warnings occurred. All is well, and I appreciated his help in locating everything I needed for a comfy night.

Site 4 - The Ranch
Lovely site, helpful host. What more could you want?
Absolutely amazing host! We had a wonderful stay at The Ranch, despite the poor weather. A welcoming, easy to communicate with host, Don made sure we had everything we needed and more. I cannot say enough good things about this amazing place and host. We will absolutely be back. What a great experience. Stunning views, we were visited by friendly deer (even babies!) every day, and it was a lovely stay.
Don was very accommodating and helpful! We arrived much later than expected (almost 11 pm) and Don met us at his road and proceeded to help us set up. He was generous and even offered to help us straighten out one of our crooked jack stands.
The site was pretty near the lake and easy to maneuver with our travel trailer. I would recommend staying at Don’s!
Everything perfect, warm reception and very good site.
