Carl & Vicki's land is a working cattle/bison ranch that sits on the Dakota-Nebraska Eroded Tableland. It is a diverse landscape of canyons, prairie, streams and ponds. Carl's grandmother filed a homestead claim on this ranch in 1914. We are close to the Niobrara Scenic River, Smith Falls, Fort Falls, and Fort Niobrara Wildlife Refuge. Birding, hiking, stargazing and canoeing are a few of the activities for the person who wants to experience the peace and quiet of this beautiful landscape. Educational bison/prairie tours are available.

Such a peaceful spot!! We loved camping here and we will definitely be back in the future. We were able to buy some bison steak and jerky which were delicious. Thank you Carl and Vicki!

Scenic River Site
Beautiful and unique site!
The place and hosts are lovely! We had an amazing view and the site is very private. We loved our time there and want to come back. Victoria is very responsive and answered all questions and then some. She does note in the Hipcamp listing that you want more ground clearance on your vehicle to access the river view site (suv or truck) and do listen, but it is easy to navigate. The trail there is in good condition and is pretty smooth, just tall grass a a slightly raised in the middle of the tracks that would make it a challenge for a car with low clearance to handle. If you want to camp, enjoy a beautiful sunrise/sunset, and look for animals, this is the ticket. Highly recommend!

CapStone Scenic View
Great Views
I didn’t actually stay at CapStone. I don’t know which site I was. Whichever, the views and space were peaceful and gorgeous. Definitely getting some more of their jerky! I look forward to returning.

Camp on the prairie, and see bison
I loved it. The prairie isn’t what you think, and it certainly isn't boring; miles, and miles, of pre-Colombian prairie, with grass (of course), tree covered hills, and the Niobrara River can be seen from the overlook that is this campsite.. All can be explored on foot, with day hikes. Wild, and captive, bison are nearby. None of them have access to this campsite, though. A great host awaits, with hands-on bison tours, firewood, and lots of information on the local wilderness. Make sure you take the bison tour with a real bison rancher.
