Buffalo Jump RV Site

We are located just 50 miles from Yellowstone park! 

Please note, our property is not suitable for long-term rentals.

In 2004 we purchased the acreage and soon discovered that it is located 1/2 mile from the Horner Buffalo Jump Archeological site. Thus our property, due to its steep terrain immediately took the name “Buffalo Jump”. With its many native trees and bushes the property became an ideal location for an artists studio, and since it had the RV site already in place, we soon had many friends and guests stopping by during the summer months. In 2020 we joined with hipcamp to make the RV site available to select campers. Far back in time the area was utilized by the first campers; Native Americans, who were here living off the land. Artifacts attest to the fact that the property and surrounding regions has been inhabited seasonally for the past ten thousand years.

Large Mule Deer bucks hang out on the property in October and November.

Our 1966 Airstream trailer at the beginning of the rainbow. Good signs for a fun camping season!

Wooded acres in Wyoming

Learn more about this land:If looking for a reasonable serene landscape open to wildlife with a view of the Big Horn Mountains, and crystal clear stars to camp underneath....We are it. We maintain the old fashioned heart felt family values with welcoming arms from a military Mom that is a pretty mean cook when the invite is offered for some serious good home cooking. We do have a nearby pond when operable during the irrigation season to cool one's self (a responsible adult nearby insisted. As well social distancing via consideration ). Beautiful land, a hunter's dream, or the "roughing it" enthusiast in the old West. Easy access to the Big Horn Mountains.  One hour to Cody (Buffalo Bill Museum and the famous Irma Hotel/restaurant), along the highway beforehand of wild horses. One hour to Thermopolis where the renowned Hot springs and Dinosaur Museum are.  Less than two hours to eastern entrance of Yellowstone National Park.  Plus other attractions.

Camp at the Rafter JB

We have been blessed with this beautiful property and want to share it with others. We have been operating an Airbnb out of the old barn for 3 years now. The barn was the old feed store in Cody and was moved to this property. Buffalo Bill supposedly bought feed from the store. Lovell is known as the Rose Capitol of Wyoming with the climate being perfect for growing roses. The Pryor Mountain Wild Mustangs are just minutes from our place and we almost always see them out there. Cody, only 50 to the west is a town loaded with history of the old west and features Cody Nite Rodeo every night of the summer from June 1 through August 30 as well as numerous museums and other attractions. Buffalo Bill Museum of the West will keep you busy for a couple of days if you are a museum buff. Just about everyday in the summer, you are likely to see a gunfight on the street in front of the historic Irma Hotel. There is also Old Trail Town, a recreated old west town. Further to the west just 90 miles from here is the East gate of Yellowstone open from the end of May until first of November. Thermopolis with their giant hot springs is just about 100 miles to the south of us. The Bighorn National Recreation is just minutes from Lovell featuring the 3rd Largest Canyon in the United States with breathtaking views of the Reservoir from Devil's Overlook. Further to the east are the Bighorn Mountains where you can frequently see moose, elk, deer and other wildlife.
