Best in Wyoming: Finalist
Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023.
Witness nature in all her splendor at our unique campground at the base of Heart Mountain. Big Quiet Camping provides a campsite for you to pitch your tent. You provide the tent, sleeping bag, pillow and gear; we provide a rugged cowboy camping experience including outhouse, tent shower, hammocks to stargaze by, fresh drinking water and an outdoor cooked breakfast. WARNING: You may want to stay longer! Big Quiet Camping is a real, western camping experience. Please be fully aware that you are coming to immerse yourself in true Rocky Mountain camping experience. We also offer a full day of horseback ride in the Washakie Wilderness includes a backcountry cooked lunch, it is a trip of a lifetime.  Our Location is just 3 miles east of one of Wyoming most studied geological anomalies Heart Mountain.  Big Quiet  Camping lies within the center of a 450 Organic acres of Common Ground Farms. This farm is one of the only USDA certified organic Farms in the state of Wyoming, and is also home to Rocky Mountain Organic Meats. The LandGaze across thousands acres of beautiful grassland and sagebrush and witness the natural wonders that brought many Native Americans to Heart Mountain to harness its healing energy. If you’re looking to immerse yourself in a Cowboy or Native American camping experience then come to Big Quiet Camping. Enjoy the big starry skies, untamed lands and the rich cultural history of the Bighorn Basin. Your children will enjoy the Family Adventure of sleeping outside under the stars and planets of the Milky Way. And at the same learn about food and where it comes along with the effort it takes to raise food and process it. Restrooms - Our Restrooms are similar to Restrooms in the National Forest. Well ventilated Mens and Womens Outhouse. Showers - Our on demand hot water Shower is located in a 10'x 10' cedar floor Wall Tent within our camping area.  Activities - They say the best part of camping is sitting around the campfire at night; Wide open skies above you, the sound of coyotes howling in the distance. That stuff is real, not just fiction made up in spaghetti westerns, and that's why we have built a communal fire pit. Come on down and bring your harmonica, ukulele, guitar, djembe, or dobro! If staying up late and burning the midnight oil around the fire isn't your thing there are numerous other activities on the ranch to partake in. We have a horseshoe pit, numerous hiking and mountain bike trails nearby, and you can also take a tour of the ranch and learn a little bit about where our nation's food really comes from.

Site 2 - Small Cowboy Wall Tent
Amazing camping spot with some basic tools for campers to cookout. Close to Cody with good food and a walmart for any last minutes items you might need. My dog loved it

What a beautiful piece of land! The other campers were friendly, it was secluded but welcoming. Cowboy tent was exactly as it seemed, and the kitchen and fire pit were perfect. Highly recommended.

Japanese Cabin
This well-appointed cabin is a sanctuary. The landscape and quiet are incredible. It’s worth it to get up an catch the sunrise on the porch. The cabin is comfortable and has literally everything you need. And you should definitely try that amazing tub! I let Rod know I was headed there for a writing retreat, and I’ll tell you—I never saw a soul except for a couple of people walking up the lane, which is just what I wanted. But Rod also called me up before I got there to offer good directions and sent a message to see if I needed any help planning things to do. That’s to say, this host is gracious, and from reading other reviews I think you could have as much or as little company or solitude as you desire. A little in awe of the magic of this place and so grateful to the hosts for sharing it. Contrary to other reviews, I was able to lock the doors at night, but did not have a key and left it open during the day. Not a concern as, like I said, nary a soul around. A true paradise. Hope to return!

Big Quiet Tent Camping
Quiet place to pitch a tent & see the stars. Would stay again, if in the area.

Quiet and Peaceful
The Japanese Cabin was an absolutely beautiful getaway from the chaotic city. Well built and maintained with gorgeous views of the desert landscape and Heart Mountain. Just mind the yellow jackets present. They hung around the front deck but didn't hassle us. The groundskeeper and his dog are super friendly, I'm sorry I didn't catch his name. Delicious breakfast of pancakes and sausage worth getting up early for. 10/10 would recommend. :)
