Most amazing experience. The river rock camp is so awesome to be right on the creek like that and be able to fish and still be protected by all the trees from the winds we had. The water was super clear and had lots of fish. We did see a coyote come across the field and get pretty close to camp so don’t leave food out or kids alone, but beside that we will most definitely be staying again!!

We had an awesome stay at this lake house! It was very clean, had all the amenities we needed, and was exactly as advertised. The quiet, secluded setting made it the perfect place to relax. Kellie and Lyndell were very responsive and even checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. We also caught some big fish right from the dock which made the trip that much better!

Such a beautiful place to camp with the family and friends. Great shade for camping when the sun is high, the stars and sunsets are incredible and so are the sunrise's. It's our go to spot when we want to visit dinosaur valley

There are a few spaces you can set your tent up in this space. We opted for the spot under the biggest tree.

Weekend Trip to EcoRich Ranch

Just what me and my dog needed after being cooped up in suburbia for too long! Although the rain made for muddy conditions that prevented us from getting to our intended site (Brookside), the host was super communicative and moved us to an alternative (Ancient Oaks) that was easier to access. We seemed to be the only campers braving the rain, so it made for an especially peaceful time exploring the other sites in between showers. Cell phone reception was spotty at best, but I didn't mind unplugging. Just make sure to have your map home downloaded in advance, as I got lucky remembering the first part of my route from memory until GPS had enough service to know where I was. I look forward to coming back when it's less rainy to explore other sites!

Always a great time when we go to Echo Rich Ranch it is layed back easy going just like Emory he has always come by and checked to make sure everything is good. This place is very peaceful lots of shade trees. We were shocked to see the creek still had water and was running a little bit even though everything else around was so dry. Definitely will be going back this is my 4th year to make the trip.
