2 nights at Little Goose Tree Fort
Beautiful private spot right on a peaceful creek and surrounded by farm land. Easy access to the northern Bighorn mountains and Chad was so gracious and accommodating - he even took the time to look over some maps of the wilderness and show me some beautiful areas to hike and camp. Wonderful experience!

My favorite Hipcamp spot so far! I love the stream that runs through it and the big acreage to walk my dog. 😁🐶🙌❤️
