This was a wonderful place to camp! We stayed 3 nights and added a 4th. Great views, very quiet, the dogs had room to run off-leash and play ball, and the greeters as we pulled in were a beautiful herd of about 20 Longhorns! We met Megan and her daughter - really nice folks. The road in is gravel but extremely well maintained. We were in a 30ft. pull trailer. Thanks so much to Ryan and Megan!! Great stay!!!

The campsite is located in bare prairie with some nice views of the countryside. We went for the longhorn feeding and this did not disappoint - it was a great experience. During our weekend stay we were graced by a full moon, which made a beautiful Montana sky even more stunning.

Loved camping here. It was nice and quiet. My dog loved laying in the creek to cool off and playing in the yard. The sites are very well maintained by the host and the host was very helpful in directing me to the site and communication.

I got caught in a storm while on Stephen’s land so I couldn’t make the most of it, but the property was beautiful and Stephen was a kind host! I even saw some fawns while heading to my site.

We loved camping on Stephen’s property! It was grassy, which was great for our pup to run around on. Also very peaceful with it being creekside. Stephen was very responsive and organized with his check in and check out instructions.

We actually used the gravel, back in lot, for our class C for full hook ups. The place has laundry facilities, electric, water and sewage. It’s easily accessible and was very centrally located, right across the street from coffee/beer/ wine/food shop. It’s also dog-friendly.
