3 Gulley Ranch was a wonderful place to stop. Gary and Barb were very welcoming, the parking area was excellent. It was raining the day we stopped, so we were not able to hike the trail.

What an amazing a relaxing stay! The hosts (Gary and Barb) are so nice and accommodating. Their proptery is absolutely gorgeous with a pond and trails to explore. I felt like I had no cares in the world relaxing at their place. Barb brought me homemade cookies, which were very yummy. Thank you for being wonderful host. I’d love to come stay here again!

Very easy to find and the parking spot was obvious. We took a nap in our rig at Starved Rock after hiking, so arrived later than intended and missed the hosts who kindly messaged us that they were heading out for dinner but had left us a extension cord, if needed. Lovely spot by a little pond that we would have enjoyed more had we gotten there earlier. We did enjoy the fire ring and the wood offered. Breezy night so a quick bonfire and we were off early to make sure we would find parking at Turkey Run. Lovely spot and highly recommended!

Set up for one night here on our way out west as a stopover. We were met in the yard as we pulled in. Host Gary was so nice and helpful and very willing to share his property with us. Didn't get to meet his wife but, we are sure she would have been just as welcoming. Thank you for a wonderful overnight stay!!

We highly recommend this BW spot! It is such a tranquil, park like setting with trees, trails, and ponds hidden between miles of farmland. They have done a wonderful job creating a welcoming, comfortable, private, and level spot. Easy access. Very welcoming and friendly host. We had great conversations with Gary the afternoon we arrived and the next morning. Thanks for the great overnight stay!
