This land has been my family's ranch since the early 70's. We love it here and are happy to share it with campers that wish to enjoy the valley and respect the land.
More about this campsite:
The site is in a small ranch pasture along the Bear River near willow, birch, and large cottonwood trees. From the campsite there are views of the Flat Top mountains and ancient volcanic necks. Very quiet except for ranch activity and the friendly livestock guardian dogs (who will visit, and they bark to protect the sheep and goats at night) - it's a working ranch and you may have to contend with talkative sheep or dodge the occasional cow pie!
We loved it. We hope to come again.
If you ever read Ivan Doig or Wallace Stegner or maybe watch the prequels to Yellowstone and wished you could experience a sheep ranch; this is the real deal. Land this beautiful is very hard to find.
The campsite was clean and freshly mowed. The eggs were delicious, the firewood more than we could use and the dog amazing, friendly and well behaved. The goats and sheep are beautiful and highly entertaining.

This spot was so enjoyable! Very secluded & quiet. Enjoyed the occasional visit from the family dog. Would definitely come back!

Beautiful site with great views

Overall this is a wonderful campsite with many beautiful features. It is lovely with gorgeous scenic vistas, next to a river and some very curious livestock who love people watching. The hosts were very kind and accommodating- especially when we got stuck in traffic and had to keep pushing back our meeting time.
The only drawback was that I do think that the description is a bit misleading - there are no “occasional” cow-pies - the entire campsite seems to be a part of the area where livestock move through so it is completely covered in animal waste. Perhaps this is not bothersome to campers who are in RVs or camping within a vehicle but for tent campers like ourselves you might want to take that into consideration.

Amazing spot

Can’t say enough great things about this spot. Barb and Jeremiah were wonderful hosts! Very responsive and kind. Provided delicious eggs and firewood ready when we got there. Views were amazing and unobstructed. Right on the river with spot for hammock. Not tons of shade but did have small shady spots by river during the day. Loved walking to see all the animals. We definitely would go back!

Worth a visit!!

We loved camping at this spot! It was great seeing all the different animals and the dog was super sweet. The field of wildflowers were fun to frolic in. The space felt private and removed enough from the main property. The eggs and wood from Barb were a definite plus! Even in rainy and windy weather we had a great time!
