Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.

Our ranch has been in our family for 16 years and, before that, belonged to one family for over 200 years. Jolene (me, - owner) and my two sons, Riley and Logan, put a lot of time and dedication into our ranch. Our ranch is located on 40 acres where anyone can find their little piece of “peace.” We pride ourselves on taking excellent care of our guests and making them feel at home when they step onto our land. We will do our best to accommodate your needs in any way possible. Our WIFI is not always 100% reliable. If you need WIFI during your stay, please bring another option with you, such as a hotspot on your cell phone, in case ours is not dependable. From the crew who loves to share a little piece of our life on Stone Roller Road, – Jolene, Riley, Logan, Scotch (the yellow lab), Hops (the chocolate lab), and Scrappy (the late ranch dog)

Although it rained the entire time we were there it was lovely. In my Little Scamp, next to the creek, even in the rain we enjoyed our time there. The host, Jolene, was very accommodating and made every effort to provide us with a positive experience. It is a well kept farm environment with easy access and a quiet, comfortable and safe place for a single woman and her dog. We would certainly return if in the area again. Thank you Jolene.
