Welcome to Big Sky Country, where the views seem to go on forever and the sunrises and sunsets put on a show every day.
My 35-acre property sits at approximately 7,500 feet elevation with sweeping 360-degree views for miles, including the snow-capped Uinta Mountains in the distance. There are no close neighbors—unless you count the occasional cattle or sheep wandering through, since this is open-range country.
By day, you’ll find wide-open sage seas, junipers, red cliffs, distant mountains, and plenty of that untamed Wyoming landscape. You may hear coyotes howling after sunset, and every now and then the faint whistle or rumble of a distant train carries across the open country—a wonderfully Western soundtrack to the landscape.
And when night falls, the real show begins.
With virtually no nearby light pollution, the dark night skies here can be spectacular. On clear nights, the Milky Way stretches across the sky, surrounded by more stars than you’ll ever see from town. Bring a chair, a blanket, or just lie back and enjoy one of the best features of being this far from civilization.
This is the Wild West at its best—quiet, rugged, spacious, and wonderfully uncrowded. Pull in your RV, pitch a tent, and enjoy having a little piece of Wyoming all to yourself. If you enjoy rock hounding and fossil hunting too, look underfoot and head toward the cliff edges for shell fossils.
There’s also plenty to explore nearby. The historic Piedmont ghost town and charcoal kilns are 10 minutes away. The majestic Uinta Mountains are roughly 45 minutes southeast via the beautiful Mirror Lake Scenic Byway (WY-150).
In Evanston, visit Bear River State Park to see the local bison herd—including its famous white bison—then explore the Historic Depot Area and the Union Pacific Roundhouse and Railyards. Downtown Main Street feels like a step back in time and is also home to the local brewery, Suds.
A little farther east along I-80 is historic Fort Bridger, another great stop for anyone interested in the history of the Old West.
Fishing is available at nearby Sulphur Creek reservoir and along the Bear River.
Come for the wide-open spaces, stay for the sunsets—and wait until you see the Milky Way.

The trails are endless in these mountains and the solitude abundant.
Our property is smack in the middle between Monte Cristo parking lot and Hardware Ranch.
It is the perfect location to set up camp and be ready hit the trails first thing in the morning.

ENTRANCE TO OUR PROPERTY IS STRAIGHT NORTH AT THE END OF THE PAVEMENT. PLEASE DO NOT TURN LEFT ON SESSION LANE!
We have ten acres that our home sit on but about 9 acres that consist of dry farm grass. We use 1 acre for camping and parking. The Weber river runs across the back of our property where we have a campground with tables and firepits. This is a family campground. We do not have Electrical Power or Water hookups. We have added 4 wooden porta potty enclosed in small tents which we service every day or as needed. Site selection is determined by type of sleeping accommodations and managements discretion.
We have now have one tent areas and 1 RV spot.
**We allow 2 adults per site and/or 2 adults and minor children per site.
(Larger Family Gathering must be approved and pay extra based on the number of family or friends expected)
WE HAVE A LIMITED FIRE BAN.
ALL FIREWORKS ARE CURRENTLY STRICTLY PROHIBITED
We are not a public campground and only list through Hipcamp and so our property is posted with NO TRESPASSING SIGNS. It is very important to let us know your approximate arrival time and call when you arrive. We will guide you down to the campgrounds and show you the best spots base on your type of camping. (Sleeping in trailers or van's versus tent campers)
One draw back to our property is that we are within 1/2 mile of a well use highway (US 84) and railroad track. We have only had one camper who was concerned about the noise. Here at the house we don't notice it and maybe we are just use to it.
Limited swimming and use of paddle board based on river conditions.
Fishing is limited because we are on private property and the river is not stocked by the Utah fish and game. So, we are dependent on normal reproduction of the fish. Fly fishing being the best however you can use lures. Power bait or any bait that requires treble hooks are not allowed.. We would prefer catch and release.
ALL UTAH FISHING REGULATION APPLY.
WE HAVE INDICATED WHEEL CHAIR ACCESSIBLE. THE WHOLE AREA IS BASICLLY LEVEL AND GRASS AND BARK COVERED.

My husband Shaun and I fell into rescuing horses quite by accident.
We started a non-profit to promote the Rescue, Rehab, Retrain and Rehome method to get horses out of bad situations and into good homes. We are a small rescue and hope to be much bigger one day!
Please come visit, enjoy our beautiful property and support an amazing non-profit cause while you are at it!
Learn more about this land:
We are a non-profit horse rescue situated on one acre. The best description I can give of our property is that it's great for a convenient and quaint "Stop and Sleep". This is because we are located right off of the old main highway and have two neighbors within eyesight from the house. This site is very convenient for quick stays since it is so CLOSE TO THE HIGHWAY this makes it convenient but may not be appropriate for very light sleepers or for extended stays. The camping area is simple, with wild grass and a fire pit, bordered by the river on one side and the horse pasture on the other. You can see and hear the river easily April-July. The river is seasonal and does dry up in mid July-August. Drinkable hose water is available near the house. If you want a ranch-style camping experience with lots of interaction with your hosts and opportunity for adventure then you have chosen the right camping location! You are welcome to join in the daily choring activities or choose to be taken on a scenic trail ride or thrilling guided gallop on beautiful and well-trained rescue horses.
PLEASE NOTE: The bathroom is located in our house and has a flushable toilet and shower with hot water. Bathroom hours are 8am-9pm but limited due to our presence at home and work schedules depending on the day you stay. Parking is located about 50 feet from the campsite, just off of the road. You must walk a few seconds to get to the campsite and you cannot pull your vehicle right up to it. While we do welcome car campers and pop-up trailers, just know you won't be parked at the campsite if you choose to sleep this way. We look forward to having you camp with us!

Family Camping Mountain Paradise

Experience the breathtaking beauty of this mountain paradise nestled in Utah. Situated adjacent to the Wasatch Peaks Private ski resort, this property boasts unparalleled access to natural splendor. Surrounded by majestic 100-foot pine trees, it offers a serene escape with a riverside setting that's truly rare. Gather around the fire pit for unforgettable evenings under the stars. I provide two trailers that will comfortably sleep 11 people. Renting my recreational vehicles are also an option. The trailers are all set up with bedding and sleeping accommodations, however because of the remote location we use outhouse instead of the trailers makes it possible to leave them on the mountain all summer.AT&T has incredible service at this spot to stay connected amidst the wilderness. Embrace off-grid living with no utilities, complemented by the convenience of an outhouse and gated entrance. You have to see this paradise in person to believe it! You could say it’s somewhat glamping because of all the amenities but you’ll feel like you never have before nature, the privacy and everything around you. There’s two massive fire pits, flat spots for tents, outdoor couch seating, it’s a great place to host a family gathering, big event, wedding, anything you can imagine. Shoot guns, play games, escape the city and to your spot in around 30 minutes from the mouth of Weber Canyon.

Lovely site. It's a pity the disco ball has been damaged, but that was the only issue. The location is remote and creates the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere. We absolutely loved our time here. Site was well maintained, though there was some horse droppings in the camp area I had to shovel out.
Overall, one of the best sites I've been to in a while. Thanks so much!
