TENT campers BEWARE, there is a risk of high winds in Livingston, particularly in an open field like this place. It is a beautiful ranch and the amenities are good (showers, bathroom, water) and great for vans etc, but NOT ideal for tents. With no shrubs or trees, it is very exposed and the mountain winds come fast… upwards of 50 mph winds. We had good weather upon arrival but it can change quickly. We’re not from here and were not aware. Our North Face tent suffered broken poles and ripped at 7 AM. We’d camped for months in our tent and experienced rough weather with success (we always use good stakes), but this was the worst. We spent the next day replacing the tent at the Bozeman REI. Fortunately ours was covered under warranty and we replaced it with a different weather-proof tent design. We set it up for our last night thinking we’d be ok, but at 7 PM another wind storm came suddenly and we had to hurry and emergency evacuate the tent and everything (again) and take shelter in the barn-arena building. Our brand new tent’s poles suffered some bending. Just shows how strong the wind is.
While we are very grateful that Aneta let us relocate inside her arena, we would have appreciated any mention or warning about the reputation for winds in Livingston. Turns out, the internet is full of articles about this. Good luck fellow tenters!

Beautiful, secluded site. Horses and chickens running around. Nice bathroom and shower. Thanks, Aneta.

Loved this space!
We loved this spot! The host was helpful and kind, and the space was gorgeous. We came in relatively late and left early, but we’re still able to enjoy the shower and had a nice evening overall. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

A Ranch experience
The ranch was in a beautiful setting with six horses, a bunch of chickens and one friendly cat near the campsite. It was a fun place to stay, although VERY windy, as you are camping in an open field with no protection. The bathroom and shower are in the horse stable, so not "deluxe" but certainly functional. We enjoyed our two night stay very much.
