Weekend Trip to Brackettry Ranch

Brackettry Ranch offers an expansive view of the adjacent mountains in a quiet and secluded setting. The location was easy to get to and felt safe and very private. Your only visitors may be the prairie dogs and the horses in the fenced pasture close by. We travel with our bird dogs and they ran till their hearts were content. If power is needed there is a 30amp outlet but you will need 50’ to 80’ of cord, depending on where your power connection is on your camping vehicle. Water is right at the site and Daryl was very responsive with instructions to access the water to fill our tank. The water is not continuous use as you will burn out the pump, but you can easily fill your tank without a problem. Our rig and approach to the site: 26’ bumper-pull travel trailer pulled by a 3/4 ton truck. We went just past the designated pad and backed into the site, super easy. Pros: Quiet, scenic, safe, very communicative host, accessible, great location. Cons: None Daryl can control, it’s a lovely place to enjoy. If traveling with dogs, just know that you’re in tick country and check your pups.

Great spot. Dogs loved it and kept trying to catch the prairie dogs. Beware of the ticks if your visiting soon.

Weekend Trip to Brackettry Ranch

What a gem! Right off the highway - so if you're road tripping you're not spending too much more time in the car - pure silence when you arrive. The driveway is just one driveway away from what the gps tells you (as Daryl said) look for the Brackettry Ranch sign then it's straight forward. With two active dogs this was heaven for us after spending 6 hours in the car - we backed in and walked for a couple hours until dark. Endless valleys and walking or beautiful views if you just want to sit and relax. One car passed from 6PM on a Fri night until Saturday when I departed. Hoping to stay on my return drive x country in a few weeks.
