Weekend Trip to Steinke Ranch Buffalo

Great and easily accessible RV site with good uncluttered views. Alan’s substantial Buffalo (Bison) herd is able to be viewed close up and his available Buffalo steaks and sausages are quite tasty. The weather when we were there was damp and raining but we can only imagine how much better it would be in clear conditions.

This was in a beautiful field with a great view! Alan is an awesome host. For anyone concerned, the Buffalo are in a separate fenced off area. 🙂

We had a great time tent camping here! The site we were at had very soft soil so our stakes did not hold well, but as long as it is not a windy night there shouldn’t be any issues. He was very kind as well.

Buffalo are really neat to see up close! Pheasant and quail like birds and deer around, too! What a view! Buffalo meat, fire and quiet sleeping. Thank you Alan!
