There is plenty of space available for tents for group camping or you can bring an RV (check with us first). The property is accessible from I-80, 2 miles along an easily-passible, private, paved road. Whether you're looking for a quiet, private serenity, or a unique overnight stop, you'll enjoy your time at Tailwinds Ranch.Welcome to Tailwinds Ranch, a private camp site with a bunk house that sleeps two people, outhouse, water, and electricity secluded on ten acres with easy access to Interstate 80.
