This campsite offers a tranquil and private getaway that is appreciated by many visitors. The presence of cows adds a rustic charm, although they sometimes leave behind a bit of a mess. The host, James, is frequently described as helpful and responsive, contributing to a smooth camping experience. While some guests mentioned the road can be rough and signage could be improved, the stunning views and peaceful surroundings often outweigh these minor inconveniences.

We really enjoyed our stay here over the long weekend. James went beyond my expectations with thorough directions, a map of the land and supplies such as firewood, toilet paper, water, etc. North creek was a beautiful site with lots of open space and places to explore.

The Meadow - Cabin, Bunkhouse
This was our second time at James’s land. We had really great time and the place has everything that you need. We all loved the quietness, lots of birds singing.
When we were coming in on Friday, I saw baby cow and goose were playing together. That was one of the most beautiful coexistence living I saw. Cattle did not come back after we reach. My son was missing the cattle’s. I hope we did not disturb their regular routine.

Our group of 6 stayed in the cabin from Oct. 18-20. We absolutely love everything! We had lots of privacy and it felt peaceful to be surrounded by nature. We also enjoyed the lake and made good use of the facilities. James was very accomodating and awesome. Definitely would recommend this place and we hope to be back soon!!

This was our third camping trip to James’s “Cattle Ranch in the Foothills”. We have stayed at both “The Bend” and “North Creek” campsites and both are quite private with beautiful views of the surrounding area including spectacular views of the Northern Lights during our most recent stay. As a working cattle ranch it’s a fun experience when the cattle pass by along with a variety of wildlife.
