This property belonged to my grandparents. My grandpa and grandma ran cattle and sheep on the land and put up hay. They raised my dad and his two brothers on the place. My dad and mom built a house just West of the property, where I grew up, walking over the hill to visit Grandpa and Grandma. They sold the ranch when I was 10 years old. The place was sold 3 times before I was able to buy it back in 2021. The purchase included an RV campsite. My wife Lindsey and I thought, what a great way to meet people and share a little piece of our amazing Wyoming. There is nothing better in the world than waking up early in Rural Wyoming! Learn more about this land: Open views of hay meadows, cattle, sheep and sagebrush. The area around the campsite is an open field with easy interstate access. There are neighbors within view and our home is approximately 1/4 mile away from the two RV camping spots. We have kids, horses, sheep, dogs, cats and rabbits. There are also antelope and deer. We do offer electrical, septic and water hookups at both locations. Both sites are immediately adjacent to one another. Just a short drive from Douglas, Wyoming and Natural Bridge State Park.

Daniel’s property was easy to find. The site was gravel, but it was level. Daniel was very accommodating with an adaptor for our 30 Amp camper, as well as a water hookup. The view from our site, overlooking Douglas, was very nice with a beautiful sunset and sunrise.

Peaceful spot to spend a night and wake up to great Wyoming pastoral views. Also a good spot for folks like me who are always looking for a dark sky. Open views all around for sky watching. I even scored a northern lights display to the north. Electric hook up and water appreciated, too.

Daniel & Nikki were fabulous hosts! They were so welcoming and accommodating. It was a very relaxing stay and we had a beautiful view, overlooking grassy hills and having pronghorn come so close to the property. Next time we will bring the motorcycle with so we can experience some of the other adventures in the area. Looking forward to our next stay here!

We stayed here passing through the area, but even with the short amount of time there we still got to feel the beauty. We loved seeing the views and different wild life in the morning. Daniel was more than accommodating with us getting in pretty late and helped us set everything up! recommend. Extra recommend if you love cats like me :)
