Built in the 1940's by the late actor Eugene Pallette as a hideaway from Hollywood and a Refuge from looming world disaster after World War 2. There once was a cannery, a power plant a sawmill and a 5,000 sq' concrete warehouse built to withstand anything and house years of provisions. Many buildings are still standing and utilized.  The past guest list included Cark Gable (Gone with The Wind) Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan and Errol Flynn and many more. Located on the shores of the Imnaha river we have 2 miles of accessible, private spots. There is a lot of wildlife here and there is no better place to "unwind" and regroup. Pitch your tent in total privacy along the shores of the River and then kick back and take in all the sights and sounds of Nature. Surrounded by canyons on all sides tucked away in a private Valley is 300+ acres of room to roam along the river.   We have firewood and frozen bottles of water for coolers available for an extra charge And have added 3 outhouses. Potable water, picnic tables, and outhouses on site. Pets are welcome. Camp fires are permitted outside of a fire ban. Our guests love staying here: "Camping at the ranch was pure enjoyment. We did not see or hear anything but the rushing river and the surrounding woods. The stars at night we’re amazing and there was plenty to explore on the property and nearby."Pitch your tent in total privacy along the shores of the River and then kick back and take in all the sights and sounds of Nature.

This was the second time I’ve stayed at the ranch and it was somehow even more magical than the first time! My spot was right on the river and had a bench, a fire pit and a picnic table. I absolutely love it here and hope to return again soon. Thank you Michelle and Larry for another great stay.

Lovely spot along the Imnaha River. Beautiful drive there. Be sure to go to the Overlook for an amazing view.

I loved the serene setting and we were close to the river for the kids to have fun and close enough to just listen to nature. Highly recommend this campsite to those who want to experience something different.

Lovely Solitude.
It was a lovely place to camp over labor day weekend. I didn't see anyone else the entire time I was there. We did however, see lots of wildlife including grouse, turkeys, bald eagles, deer, and a bear. It was a wonderful time.

The ranch was amazing and exactly what we were looking for. The history of the ranch and area was super interesting to learn about and explore while we were there. The hosts were phenomenal and super helpful. We will definitely be booking again and recommending to friends passing through the area.
