After living in the country, I know how peaceful it can be.
So, being so close to the city and having this space that is secluded and peaceful, it seemed only fair to share it with someone who is interested in the same thing.

Staff does live on the farm, we do lock gates at night, you can have access to come and go at any time. If you need gates unlocked, we are just a phone call away.

We are a 400 plus acre working family ranch raising Registered Texas Longhorns. We offer homegrown steaks and hamburger for purchase during your stay. In season we offer homegrown fresh vegetables you can purchase to go with your steaks- your welcome to even pick your own. If fresh vegetables are not in season we do have a selection of salsas, jellies, and pickles made on the ranch. There are three ponds for fishing, lots of wildlife including nesting baldeagles. Bring sturdy enclosed shoes for hiking. Bring your canine friend, they will have a vacation of a lifetime. Pawhuska is only 13 miles away, if you want to let someone else cook your dinner. I recommend Bad Brads BBQ! Hope to see you soon.

Tucked into a landscape of rolling hills and woodlands, you’ll pass grazing cattle and working cowboys on your drive to the Hulah Lake. Yeehaw! Once you’re here, you’ll find plenty to keep you busy! Experienced and amateur anglers alike can launch a boat on the refreshing waters and cast a line for the many species in the lake: white bass, largemouth bass, crappie, channel catfish, flathead catfish, and bullhead catfish. Hikers can roam through the hills, forest, and grasslands. Be sure to check out the State Waterfowl Refuge, which makes up 2,000 acres of the park.

This has to be the best place to camp in Oklahoma. Longhorns roaming around, getting to tour with Casey (grandson) and the host, Glenda, was awesome. Such a great family and time on this property. I was there 6 nights, 4 at a camp where I truck camped, 2 at the tiny home. The tiny home was perfect when it got really cold and was able to have a good comfortable shelter. The campsite was great and remote but still able to have the longhorns roaming nearby. I would 100% recommend to anyone in this area and plan to stay next time I’m over that way.

We were unable to camp there due to storms so we ended up in a hotel. Glenda invited us out over to Ranch over The Weekend so we could spend some time with her on the ranch. We did go to the ranch and spent about 4 hours. We met her Longhorns, fed them and got to spend some time in the garden. Glenda is a fabulous hostess. We had a great time! She also gave us places we should visit. I’m definitely going back in the Spring!

Cheryl gave us the option to switch to site 2 because our hook-ups are on the Driver's side. We had trouble getting level in site 1 due to the recent rains that made the ground very soft, so in the end we stayed in Site 2. Site 1 has a beautiful pasture view and nearby playground, and Site 2 has a fun view of the beautiful horses. You can't go wrong with either site. There are also dogs, roosters, turkeys, and goats nearby. The cacophony of farm sounds didn't bother us, but warrant mentioning in case potential guests reading this review are sensitive to noise. There is also an Air Force base nearby, but I barely noticed it. The resident dogs are free-roaming, but they are friendly. My dog isn't generally a fan of other dogs, and the resident doggies were not a problem for us. Site 2 has full hook-ups, and we didn't need any leveling blocks at all. We enjoyed our stay very much and appreciated the flexibility to switch sites at the last minute. Even with the significant rain, the ground drained well around the site and the driveways. We had no trouble walking our dog or pulling the trailer in and out. We love the Hipcamp experience a thousand times more than RV parks. We are so grateful that owners like Cheryl host RVers.

This was the best camping trip ever!! 100 acres to yourself. Hundreds of longhorn cattle free roaming around your camp site. Casey and Glenda were amazing hosts. Taking us on a tour of the ranch, feed the longhorn cattle, went fishing in multiple ponds, learned to rope, and even test out a bucking bronco training rig.
I would encourage anyone who goes to this ranch to purchase the longhorn steaks and farm fresh eggs while you are there. Delicious!
Glenda and Casey were again the best hosts you could ever want. Treated us like family and accommodated us tremendously.
Thanks Casey and Glenda for everything

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful property, and I can’t say enough good things about my experience! The place was beautifully maintained, with all the amenities you could ask for. It was clean, cozy, and had a lovely atmosphere that made me feel right at home.
What truly made my stay exceptional, though, was the host. They were incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. From providing local recommendations to checking in to make sure I was comfortable, their hospitality was top-notch.
If you're looking for a fantastic place to stay with an amazing host, look no further! I can’t wait to return! 🌟
