Welcome to our working bison ranch, where a unique experience awaits you. We are 10 minutes from Interstate 80/90. Explore our ranch through walking the paths that meander along the creek and around each bison pasture. As you stroll, discover the serenity of a large pond teeming with fish, dragonflies, butterflies, and amphibians. Visit our onsite store, where you can purchase our high-quality bison meat and unique bison artifacts. Additionally, from May to October, we offer tractor-drawn wagon tours into the pastures, providing an up-close encounter with these majestic animals. Please call Carmen at +14193201283 to schedule your tour. Nestled within a few miles of charming small towns boasting independent restaurants and stores, our location offers a perfect blend of rural tranquility and local amenities. For those seeking more extensive shopping options, we are conveniently situated within 15 miles of larger Toledo suburbs, featuring a variety of big-box stores. Our bison enjoy over 55 acres of pasture, benefitting from our commitment to rotational grazing for both pasture and bison health. At our ranch, we prioritize working harmoniously with the land, fostering the return of native flora and fauna to our property. Situated a few miles north of Swanton, our land, once used for standard crops, has undergone a transformation. After five years, we proudly boast an array of accomplishments, including the identification of over 25 different bird species in a single morning, an increase in local native pollinator populations (including the monarch butterfly), and a reduction in soil erosion. Join us on this journey as we invite you to experience the beauty of nature, the magnificence of bison, and the positive impact of sustainable practices on our land.

I loved tent camping here! The bison were so cool to observe and the tent site was nestled up to a very cozy and picturesque pond. The instructions on how to get to the site were clear and easy to follow. The host Stacy was responsive and communicative.

What a great time we had! Stacy is such a wonderful host. We took a ride out into the pasture to see the bison up close. Jason brought a load of wood that kept the campfire going. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you Stacy!

Beautiful, cozy spot set on the pond. Really nice bonus to have a small fire space and wood provided. On a farm, but also appreciated that the space still felt private enough.

Car Camping with Bison

Tent Site 1
We had a great time in early November car camping at our site. Woke up in the morning to see a herd of bison graising basically right outside our car. Was easy to find and get too, even had a solar light marking the spot. The grass road could be a bit hard to get over if too muddy or snowy but we made it fine even with slightly bald tires. Not a ton of commotion out there either so it was nice and peaceful. Would recommend!

Cute and quiet spot. The bison were in a pasture across the property this time, so we didn’t get to see them as much as my first stay. Not a huge deal, could still hear them and that was enough for me. Site 1 is a pretty view and feels private enough with the pond and wildflowers.

This was a perfect hipcamp for me! I arranged last minute as I needed a place to land for the night. Peaceful, quiet, easy to find. I fell asleep to the crickets and bullfrogs and had a great night of sleep. Calm and relaxing, close enough to the highway but no traffic noise. Perfect! I would stop here again in a second if I was driving through the area.

We stopped at Bracy Gold on our return trip from South Dakota where we didn’t get to see any Bison … what a treat to see them here in Ohio. Do yourself a favor and stop for a night … quiet farm setting with all the sights you would expect. Five stars from us.

This was a nice quiet location to camp. The sunsets are really nice here. Stacy was a very kind and courteous host, and the bison meat and eggs we bought were delicious! I was very impressed with how well run their operation is run! All in all, I would recommend staying at Bracey Gold.
