Welcome to Bear Bottom Ranch! Our entrance is marked by 2 cross crossed American flags. Come and enjoy our 32 acres of wooded property where a creek runs through. We have gorgeous oak trees and walnut trees all throughout the property. If you looking for a private camping experience, this place is for you. We usually have a couple horses on the property and I have 3 unleashed dogs that are friendly with people and dogs. We will be at the top of the property. We hope you’ll enjoy our place!Pitch your tent or park your vehicle anywhere you like in our oak tree grove. Recommend that after you turn onto our gravel driveway, you take a left onto the mowed path that’s just before the porta john. This path will take you to the first site, then if it’s occupied you will follow it to the second site. You are welcome to pick up fallen tree limbs and sticks to feed your fire. Watch for the wildlife, we have multiple owls living in the property and coyotes pass through regularly. This is a private property with very little traffic and people passing through.

Bear Bottom Ranch is Amazing!

What a beautiful property!! It was the perfect setting, the leaves changing and it was perfect! We walked the horse trails, saw the horses and truly enjoyed our camp out. Meredith and her hubby took super great care to have the amenities as listed. They brought their travel camper down to the site because the john was out of commission. I thought that went way above and beyond as hosts! We would recommend this site to anyone wanting peace and quiet. Everything was perfect!

This is a beautiful spot! The old growth oak trees are majestic and there are places to explore with little ones and good hikes a short drive away.

Tipi with rolling meadow views

Amazing campsite. We had 9 people, a dog, and 4 tents set up and still had tons of space so we didn’t feel crowded. The tipi was really cool and the hammock and hammock chair that were on the site were nice. We had a great time and will definitely be going back in the spring!
