BCC Prairie View


This 320 acre ranch was first established in 1926 with my family moving here in the late 1930's after the great depression. It still has many old implements around for tours and maybe just maybe you can drive them.

A small flushing toilet is in the old office trailer and usable when needed. 

Now accepting monthly stays.

Prairie view offers extremely secluded areas for tents, RV's or sleep by the fire. Wake up to a herd of antelope or cattle grazing and explore 60 years of antique machinery on tour or ride along to feed the animals.

Main rig pull-in supporting all classes of RV's. Winter is here and the grass is no longer green but support for our guests will continue.

Setting sun looks to be blazing the top of this car!

Main power hook-up.
Office trailer with restroom for tent dwellers.

Enjoy our new driving range for serious golfers. Expanding to 300 yards or play 3 ball golf with a partner...first to tink the plate wins the game.

Cottonwood Tree Camp

When the farm house was built in 1909, the cabin was already here. We bought the weed patch with the intention of starting a flower farm.  It was a cattle feed lot years ago and the soil should be very fertile. We'll use the composted manure in the Spring. 

Learn more about this land:

Farm land off I-76 and Hwy 6. Set up camp under old cottonwood trees, between the wild plums and spruce trees. 31267 Road U, Brush CO 80723. Prewitt Reservoir and Elliot State Recreational Area nearby. Sunsets and sunrises are spectacular. See the stars at night. Wake up to the rooster's crow.  We have alfalfa and corn to the north and grasslands to the south. Outhouse/port-o-potty is available. The train adds to the country feel. Irrigation ditch runs at least two days a week.  Our chickens are friendly and used to dogs.  Site #1 is better for small vehicles and tent camping. It is more protected.  Site #2 is better for large RVs and trailers.

Located down the road from nationally recognized Optimist disc golf course in Ft Morgan CO.

wentz family farm


 This property has been in my family since 1900.  It is still a working farm/ranch but we are looking to let a select few others enjoy our property. My grandfather built the lake with a d9 cat bulldozer in the 50's and we are just completing a sediment clean out and refurbishment of the lake.  All of the trees were planted by my great grandfather and they afford lots of wildlife cover; wild turkeys, raccoons, skunks, squirrels, etc.  The area we selected for camping is in a bowl so you have good privacy.  The lake is stocked for fishing and because its private, no license is needed. The fishing hole and swimming hole are separate from the main lake and offer cheaper accommodations.

   

We limit ourselves to 2 campsites to the 100 acres, so there is plenty of privacy.  There is some road noise and smell from the local dairy that is about 1/2 mile away if the wind is right.

Simple private camp spot - there is a swimming/fishing hole with dock and ladder. There is a year round creek and some small islands that can be explored. Fire pit, portapotty and propane grill are available. Potable water and sewage dump is available at main residence but not at camp site. This is designed to be a family friendly area that's great for younger kids. Area is also a pasture so cows and cow patties could be encountered and wild deer and turkey are around.  If you have a larger family than 4 remember hipcamps policy is that younger children do not count towards the limit.

Sweenie's Sandbox

We have owned this land for 20+ years. Over the years, we have acquired a menagerie of animals that make our homestead unique. We currently have a geese, several goats, three mini horses, a dozen chickens, and 2 dogs.

HERE IS THE SIGN IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE WITH OUR NAME. SWEENIE

This image shows the area available at the campsite near the chicken pen. There is a picnic table and the log is going to be moved up for the fire pit.

These are our pups. The larger one is Cletus, he likes playing frisbee. And the smaller one is Boots, he is a unique character. They are both extremely friendly. In the back of this photo, you can see the building that has the chicken pen attached.

This building is the chicken pen. In the Photo, you can see the pen and the geese roaming around in front of it. The hydrant for the chicken pen campsite is located right next to this building.
