For us this is a nice simple one night stop. The farm/ranch feel was a plus. We arrived in a small self contained MH. Easy to level, plenty of space, and even with four RV there it seems just right.
The drive in was mostly paved, the last bit was a gravel driveway.

This is a great place to get away, especially for a road trip. Having access to a bathroom and shower makes such a difference, and the facilities were so clean and so much was provided! We had a wide open space to camp, and went to explore the front area of the lodge in the morning before taking off. The lodge has a lot of information available to guest about the lodge and activities in the area. I would absolutely camp here again, and would look into the lodge rooms as well. Thank you Toni!

Great and easily accessible RV site with good uncluttered views. Alan’s substantial Buffalo (Bison) herd is able to be viewed close up and his available Buffalo steaks and sausages are quite tasty. The weather when we were there was damp and raining but we can only imagine how much better it would be in clear conditions.

This land was ssoooo cute. There's an old school schoolhouse to explore, its off the beaten path and pretty private, there's a shower house so although there's no water hookup it has everything you need. Perfect pitstop on our way across the states. The farm dog and cat were big hits with my 5yo as well.
