6 nights at K.C. Ranch

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.

Meet Maveric. He is our 100 in ttt longhorn steer. Loves treats, loves attention. He's not our longest horned steer, that would be Smoke.

Weekend Trip to K.C. Ranch

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

Weekend Trip to K.C. Ranch

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! 🌟

Very nice place and very convenient to get a camper into. She is very respectful and made sure I knew exactly where to go. The workers there was very respectful and nice. I would highly recommend this camp sight. Had a camp fire with some wood to use and all the utilities are easy to get to. Best place I have ever stayed!
