Creekside hike with a friendly dog.
Awesome little camp setup. I lucked out having the place to myself. It was freezing and raining but I enjoyed my stay. The campsite dog hung out with me till around 2am before returning home. He was a very sweet dog and even went hiking the creek with me. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd stay there again for sure.

Tent camper delight
A lovely place to stay for a night. We were a smaller group of tent campers and all of our needs were met and expectations were exceeded! Shared accommodations were clean and in great condition. Very cool property and welcoming hosts (including the animals!). Even found a little breakfast cafe close by for the morning after! Thanks for making our trip wonderful :)

Camp at the Ranch
Camp at the Ranch was an absolute gorgeous property. Although my stay there was during the off season, the area was quiet and peaceful. The grounds were clean and overall well maintained. I have already recommended this campground to people I know from back out west. My stay was very enjoyable

Camp at the Ranch
Was quite beautiful here. Although I was there in the off season, the area was quiet and peaceful. I was in the area with electric and water hook ups, and the electric was reliable and did not surge, water was clean. Michelle was very friendly and checked back to see about any problems (which were none) . The property is large and has great scenery. I would recommend this campground. I really enjoyed staying there!

Michelle's campsite was clean and beautiful. The dogs were a very pleasant surprise and very kind and well behaved. The creek was fun to walk around and explore.

Clear creek, trails & sweet dogs!
I loved camping here! Michelle was easy to communicate with and met us at the gate as soon as we arrived. She gave us a HUGE lot right above the creek. We were near a small road which worried me, but there wasn’t much traffic and everyone around was very friendly. It is just 5 minutes from town for any necessities.
The ground was nice and flat and the particular lot we stayed on had a fire pit and a park grill. There was a small sheltered shed that had benches under it as well. It was just the three of us, but would also be perfect for a larger group!
We were very close to the portapotty and shower house. My favorite part were the dogs. They were incredible companions all weekend!
The property and clear creek are just serene and gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your slice of heaven on Earth with us!

Great Stay!
Shelly and Paul’s property is beautiful! There is so much to do and to explore on their property and in the area. We loved hiking and exploring the creek area. The water is so clear! Shelly and Paul were amazing and hospitable hosts. We’d definitely stay here again!

Beautiful, friendly spot!
Super campsite, and Paul and Shelly were very hospitable and friendly hosts! Sites are well-spaced and relatively private, and we really loved the scenic creek that runs right behind the campsite. We took our chairs down to the rocky banks and enjoyed the sunset on our second night. Lots to do in the surrounding areas as well! Floating outfitters nearby were closed for the season, but we hit up Johnson Shut-ins and Alley Spring & Mill during the day. Tons to do and see all around! There were several super friendly dogs that liked to come and check on us and keep us company, and the firewood was also very generous and good quality, which we really appreciated. We enjoyed our stay a ton and would absolutely come back again!

Great Place To Basecamp or Chill!
Michelle and Paul's land is well maintained, and in a great location for access to all various activities the area offers (floating, hiking, etc). They have several sites to choose from, and though it wasn't as secluded as we'd hoped, we still had plenty of privacy. We also stayed over a federal holiday weekend, so it was likely a busier time than normal, but this place is great for families or groups the way it is set up, as well as couples, so long as you're not looking for complete seclusion. The creek by our site was dry due to recent drought; however, less than a minute's walk from our site was the main creek which was cool, clear, clean, and deep enough to wade around and soak in, and there are long stretches of gravel bar alongside to set up for a day of sunning and relaxing. Paul and Michelle are extremely nice and accommodating, and were reachable whenever we had questions. The sites are around 50'-75' apart, level, and several have water and electric if you need it. The land is just off a gravel road, so access wasn't a problem, and getting in and out was simple and quick. We tend to be more boon-dockers/dispersion campers, and if that's a must then you may feel it's a bit close to others, but we still had a blast, never felt intruded upon, and very much enjoyed our stay and the surrounding countryside. We would definitely stay again. Make sure to check out the "big creek" as soon as you get there, as you can spend a there day soaking, BBQ-ing, and relaxing.

Quiet and relaxing
Had a great time. Mostly just me relaxing by a campfire. The night sky was incredible and well worth the short walk to an open area to stargaze. A friendly local dog kept visiting and hung out with me.

Dog lover's delight!
We had a great time camping here! Michelle is super sweet and was very inviting. She personally showed us around the campsite and made sure we felt comfortable. If you are a dog lover, you will love this site because Michelle and other people have their pups that love to socialize and visit your campsite. Would definitely recommend and will probably visit again!

We loved staying here. Michelle was very kind and showed us around her property. There’s a huge creek right next to our site and she had a hammock up for us. There were so many cute dogs running around and letting us pet them!

Michelle greeted us as soon as we arrived along with her sweet dogs. The campground was well maintained as was the out building and shower. Big open space to see the stars and moon. We enjoyed our stay very much and will book again when in the area.

Camping perfection!
Our stay at Shelly and Paul's Campground exceeded ALL our expectations! Our tent site was secluded, well kept, and so peaceful! The sound of the flowing water just next to our site was super relaxing...and the stars were literally out of this world!! Captured great nightsky pics which included the Milky Way galaxy:) Shelly and Paul were super attentive to any needs or inquiries and they went above and beyond to make our 5 night stay phenomenal. We will DEFINITELY be returning for years and years to come. Shelly and Paul's dogs truly made the experience all the more relaxing:) Buck and Chance were regular visitors at our site and spent much time lounging by the campfire. Sweet, sweet puppers!!
Thank you Shelly and Paul!! All our best until we meet again!!

Beautiful Camping
I cannot say enough about how beautiful the campsite was and how wonderful the hosts were. The area of Ellington is beautiful and everyone in the town and surrounding area were just as nice as could be. We really loved the hosts and the campground. If you enjoy primitive camping this is definitely the spot. We are tent campers so I can't really comment if you are taking an RV or anything, but so many trails for ATV's and beautiful crystal clear streams all along the property. We will 100% be back some day, we hope to make it an annual trip. Thanks so much for the wonderful memories.

Last warm weekend of the summer
It was the last nice warm summer of the season, stayed two days and two nights and floated the Black one of those days. Slept great the first night, even had to set up while it was getting dark. That was a breeze! Second night, it was a little noisey. A groups of off road vehicle riders decided to hit the trails around 10/11pm and they rode well into the am hours. My kids didn’t wake up at all but my boyfriend woke up in a panic thinking we were under attack. Pretty funny! As always love Shelly’s property and thankful she likes to share it!

Great Base for Kayaking in the Area
This was a great spot to use as a base while kayaking in the area! The sites were close to a fairly well used gravel road, but we were van camping so the noise didn't bother us. The land was really fun to explore; we enjoyed seeing the horses and walking the creek bed.

We got there no problem with the directions provided. We booked the primitive camping and got an amazing spot at the very back, secluded. The spots for the campers are nice and level as well. The owners were happy to answer any questions we had with smiles. We were visited frequently by their dogs, which is alright with us, makes it feel like a friendly neighborhood. The land surrounding the camp grounds is BEAUTIFUL. We booked this trip specifically for riding our atvs and sxs, and we're not disappointed. The amount of places you can go is endless. We'll be back with a big group soon.
