The location is beautiful. The ride up union pass is a well maintained dirt road, we got in late and had to drive it in the dark (would not recommend if you can avoid) but the road was wide enough to manage opposite direction vehicles. The spot was easy to find and get set up, the front to back leveling was a little step but side to side was good. Spot #2 still has line and neutral crossed so you'll need to use power from spot #1.

Nice tranquil spot with lots of ranch charm and great views. The tent spots are in a fenced off part of a horse pasture so the ground is a bit uneven and there’s some scattered dry manure, but it’s well cared for. It was easy to access after dark and the host was very responsive and helpful. Good deal for the price!

We pulled a camper trailer from Illinois to Union Pass campground and then stayed onsite for a few days. It was wonderful! Wildlife and beautiful vistas each day. We rented a side by side to trek around in the Shoshone National Park and absolutely loved it!

This was a perfect location for our trip, the views getting here and back were amazing. We will definitely stay here again. Tim was awesome, chatted with him at the shop before we left and we’ll be spending an extra day or two next time and renting a side by side and hit some remote fishing areas

Great spot, and Tim was awesome. My dog got a lot of exercise running with the pack. I only stayed one night, but next time I'm passing through I'm staying longer and hitting the trails!

Weekend Trip to Aspen and Pine Camp on Middle Butte

Beautiful site in a scenic part of Wyoming. We enjoyed hearing the wild life while still having access to the road in case of emergency. The lot was pretty clean but did have some remnants of possibly old shelters or sheds of some kind. Having the bathroom was so great even just a pit toilet can change the whole camp experience. Overall it was a nice private area and we felt safe and comfortable.

Beautiful site! Very peaceful aside from some noise from side-by-sides going to and from. We rented a side-by-bide for the day and had a blast! There is also a really great stream/creek down the road that we really enjoyed swimming in (its cold! But super fun). Tim's pup, Woody, was also so much fun! We saw tons of deer. Kids loved it! Restaurant right by the site has great food. Tim was also great!- Really friendly and helpful. Would love to stay again! Be prepared for a bumpy ride up the mountain though.

The land is very primitive, isolated, and quiet. We got to see the Milky Way at night. The host was friendly and was easy to get in touch with. He came down, greeted us, and made sure we were all set for the night. We chose a gravel spot and slept to the sounds of the river. There were a lot of mosquitos, just a fair warning. Also, There were no fire rings or designated areas to sleep, but there were lots of good spots along the way. We dug our own hole for a fire and made the most of this experience. Overall, very beautiful land to camp on if you’re willing to trek a little bit out of the way for it.

Cute little spot. They pack a few others in the “arena” with you, but it’s still not crowded like an RV park. We were there on 4th of July, so the dogs wouldn’t be near any fireworks and it was a perfect overnight. Clean port a potty if needed. Great Communication.

Absolutely loved our stay on Tim's land plenty of room to roam beautiful views and the most kind and friendly folks you may ever have the chance to come by. Tim was super accommodating when we needed to book another night when we were having difficulties booking our next stop heading north. Location is up the mountain, the road is dirt but well maintained just like any other dirt road take it slow and it will be smooth. Just an hour outside of Grand Teton National park.
