My son and I loved everything about staying here. Our campsite was great -- flat, soft grass, with an amazing view out over the refuge (including bison a few hills away) -- and the tour they took us on of the ranch and prairie was one of the highlights of it trip: meeting the bison up close blew my 4-year-old's mind and mine too actually :). Victoria and Carl are lovely people and great land managers. We can't wait to come back.

Vicki and her Husband were great hosts. Extenuating circumstances led to a late arrival and they were so gracious. They escorted us to our spot and offered any support we might need. We will elect to stay again in the future on our long trip up to Alaska!

The land was SO interesting, with beautiful plant species varieties and great vistas! Victoria was so sweet and flexible with us, and she gifted us some delicious tomatoes from her garden. The hilltop was a bit windy but those sunrises were definitely worth it !! 10/10 would stay again (:

High elevation views and a peaceful environment. The host communicates very well and makes you feel welcome. There are no shade trees so plan accordingly. Very private and relaxed setting.

The view was beautiful! Although it is a ways off the highway most of the way was paved. The hosts were friendly and even provided us with fresh fruit. Be aware you are next to a cow pasture so flies may be an issue in late summer. The outhouse was acceptable. The water is via a hose which brought back great memories of childhood. Firewood was available.

We loved camping on Victoria’s land! Labor day weekend may have been cloudy and rainy, but we had a blast. We visited the falls and went fishing in the pond. It was great! Would definitely visit again!

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.

It was private and had a very nice view. This area of the country tends to be a bit windy, but we were able to park our camper to block the wind and enjoy the view from inside.

What a perfect spot to escape life for a bit! Francis was very welcoming, the campsite was great… on top of a canyon and close to the river. If you want to camp out in the middle of nowhere, under the stars, with a great sunset, this is your place!!

Francis's land was a great find. If you are ever in the area I would highly recommend staying there. The road leading to the property was actually well maintained and smooth going over the cattle guards. It was peaceful and not a person in sight. Was exactly what our group wanted. Plenty of places to setup camp.

We had a great stay at Beaver Pond. Victoria and Carl were great hosts. Very responsive and accommodating. The spot is very remote, yet close to town and to Smith Falls. Beautiful sunrise both mornings that we were there and it cooled down nicely in the evenings. We had no problem pulling our OP15 back into a great spot south of the pond. Would highly recommend if you are traveling to the area.

We enjoyed staying the night on Jo’s land. The hookups were great for our 39 foot class A with 3 AC units. Jo and Gene greeted us, along with some of their visiting family members. We recommended getting off the beaten path to enjoy the quiet surroundings, friendly owners, and beautiful sunset!
