Was an absolute joy. If you're not in an RV, I highly recommend staying here instead of Dinosaur Valley State Park. It's way more remote and the views are stunning. A beautiful property with so many trails to explore. It was so nice how quiet it was.
The host made sure I had everything I needed to have a successful trip. The location couldn’t have been better. It was nice being so close to dinosaur valley and fossil rim. I didn’t want to be in an RV environment, so the primitive camp site was perfect for me.
We enjoyed the time at High Hope Ranch! The store is adorable, the hosts were responsive and helpful, the animals were the cutest, the land and location are beautiful, and excellent signal throughout our trip.
Peaceful stay with well marked trails. Thank you for your hospitality!
