Site 3 - Gun Smoke Ranch
This was a beautiful property and the camp sites are really nice. We had the whole place to ourselves and loved it. It was spotless and well maintained, and the sites had seating and tables available to use. GPS takes you exactly to the address, and the directions on how to get to the campsites from the road are written accurately. It’s impossible to get lost as long as you get to the address and then read the directions the host wrote.
I will 100% be coming back here in the future.

Site 3 - Gun Smoke Ranch
Gun smoke range was the perfect find for my boyfriends birthday! From the host John being so accommodating with anything we needed, to the spacious campsite and friendly neighbors we met! Camping & a shooting range?! doesn’t get much better than that! Would have stayed an extra day but got called into work. Will definitely be back again to our favorite new camping spot! Thanks again John!
