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!

Oklahoma is A-OK with us, especially after a trip to Birch Lake. Hitch up the boat and pack the tent; after a few minutes here, you’ll be begging to head out on the lake and extend your trip! While we’re at it, you won’t want to leave the fishing equipment at home; angle out and go for the big catch! With a wide variety of animals to check out (can you say bison!) trails to explore, and a beach to soak up sun in, you might never leave. Dip your toes in, or cannonball right into the lake: it’s time to get your hair wet! Rich in history and in spirit, Birch Lake is the place to be!

This was one of the highlights of our spring break RV trip! It was my husband and two of our boys, ages 10 and 13. Sleeping h see the stars was amazing, but being able to see the longhorn cattle just grazing around you was a once in a lifetime experience! There were so many babies!! Glenda and her grandson KC went out of their way to make sure we had what we needed. They could not have been better hosts!

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!

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! 🌟
