Erik's Swedish parents Ulf and Petsy Kahn purchased the Ranch in 1969, raising horses and cattle (200 head at one time). They rode the trails, tended the cows, and had great times fishing, swimming and camping. Campers can enjoy Kayaking, Horseback Riding ...and Swimming at our beautiful riverside location! Camp by river with tent, trailor or RV, RV "Boondockers" are welcome. Tour the beautiful Lewis river valley by horse back and ride into town for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Perfect first experience with horses for the kids, Erik is great with the little ones and makes sure everyone is comfortable and has a wonderful time. Kayakers and Paddleboarders will love the location, camping right on the 32 mile John Pollack water trail. The Quaint town of La Center can be your destination, an easy paddle, about four miles of natural wetlands and wildlife along the way. Visit The new IIani Casino 15 minutes away, offering entertainment and five star restaurants. We are really excited to share some of the most beautiful areas by creating a few private campsites overlooking the river. We want it to be everything the crowded campgrounds are not!

Lovely sight, nice river
Great sight, river was fantastic. When we arrived there was some dog poop in our sight in several spots we had to clean up. The people next to us had two dogs, so it may have been from them. The only other thing is that someone who was camped at sight one decided they would control the rope swing access. We assumed that was a shared community space. Other than that it was truly lovely, and we plan to book again next year.

Will be back!
This place is special. The hosts put extra care into making a perfect backdrop for long-lasting memories to be formed. We enjoyed having a spot right on the river, having access to the kayaks, feeling tucked away in our campsite. It was serene!

Camp 5
Can’t wait to come back!
We loved Site 5 at Bar UK! We’ve already booked it again. What we like: flat grassy site with plenty of room for tents, lawn games, playing fetch with our dog. Big trees provide plenty of shade. Beautiful view of the river & watching turtles, fish & birds. Excellent for group camping & camping with kids. We loved the easy access to the dock for paddle boarding. All of the sites look great. Site 1 is also great for groups & kids! It has a rope swing over the river! Site 2 we deemed “most romantic.” Sites 3 & 4 both have a hammock. Port o potties are very clean. Water was easily accessible & potable. We also loved swimming up river with our dog. There are some nice shallow sandy areas we reached by paddle board.

Would Definitely Come Back!
Before we left for the trip we got an email from the hosts with good directions to the campsites. We arrived just before sunset and were charmed from the start. The land is very well maintained, the campsites each have tables, a fire pit (and removable grill), 2 Adirondack chairs, and a beautiful bouquet of wild flowers awaiting us. There are several flat areas for tents with sweet views of the river. Our site had a rope swing into the river, other sites had hammocks. There is a little dock with access to the water and a couple of kayaks and a pedal boat which I took my little daughter out in. Potable water was available close by as well as 2 porta potties. We went up to visit the horses near the barn and on our first morning there, we received an email from the hosts about fun activities we could do nearby. We had a lovely time and would definitely come back again. Couple be fun to rent out all the campsites with friends and family!

Camp 2
The spot was beautiful, right next to the river, a huge area for the kids to play right behind us. The hosts were nice and caring. I can’t wait to go back. My family and I had a great time.
