My husband Shaun and I fell into rescuing horses quite by accident. We started a non-profit to promote the Rescue, Rehab, Retrain and Rehome method to get horses out of bad situations and into good homes. We are a small rescue and hope to be much bigger one day! Please come visit, enjoy our beautiful property and support an amazing non-profit cause while you are at it! Learn more about this land: We are a non-profit horse rescue situated on one acre. The best description I can give of our property is that it's great for a convenient and quaint "Stop and Sleep". This is because we are located right off of the old main highway and have two neighbors within eyesight from the house. This site is very convenient for quick stays since it is so CLOSE TO THE HIGHWAY this makes it convenient but may not be appropriate for very light sleepers or for extended stays. The camping area is simple, with wild grass and a fire pit, bordered by the river on one side and the horse pasture on the other. You can see and hear the river easily April-July. The river is seasonal and does dry up in mid July-August. Drinkable hose water is available near the house. If you want a ranch-style camping experience with lots of interaction with your hosts and opportunity for adventure then you have chosen the right camping location! You are welcome to join in the daily choring activities or choose to be taken on a scenic trail ride or thrilling guided gallop on beautiful and well-trained rescue horses. PLEASE NOTE: The bathroom is located in our house and has a flushable toilet and shower with hot water. Bathroom hours are 8am-9pm. Parking is located a few hundred feet from the campsite, just off of the road. You must walk a few hundred feet to get to the campsite and you cannot pull your vehicle right up to it. While we do welcome car campers and pop-up trailers, just know you won't be parked at the campsite if you choose to sleep this way. We look forward to having you camp with us!

Second Chance Ranch

The area was very nice, but we had to leave the night of after being there for a few hours due to all the noise from the road. The camp site is super close to the road so it is very loud and hard to sleep. The host who greeted us was not very friendly. The ranch was very nice though. Loved the horses but couldn't get any rest.

The goat was great. It was a bit brighter and noisier than expected, but we were just there for quick place to lay our heads. It was easy to find. The kitty was highlight too.

Quick stop.

It went well. Didn’t stay long, had to get on the road.

This campsite is quite literally in their backyard. We requested a batch of wood to be there before we got to the location, but when we asked, she said we could go get it for ourselves. It was very close to the road and felt weird to be camping right next to their house.

Great little spot!

Great little spot! Easy access to Ogden and Salt Lake City. Also, just a short drive to beautiful East Canyon State Park. Jessie is kind and very accommodating. Really a treat to pitch a tent next to the corral and her sweet horses. Highly recommend.
