About
Embark on a journey through time to a place where the horizon stretches endlessly, and the night sky unveils a glittering tapestry of stars. This unique RV camping experience allows you to live like the pioneers of the 1920s, with a twist of modern comfort brought by your RV. Situated in the heart of history-rich prairies, amidst ancient cottonwood, oak, and elm trees, this homestead offers a profound connection with nature, history, and the art of ranching passed down through generations. Imagine waking up to the serene sounds of songbirds by the pond and ending your day with prairie sunsets that paint the sky in hues of gold and purple. Our host, with over half a century of ranching knowledge, invites you to dive into a lifestyle powered by windmills and warmed by campfires. Learn about grass-fed beef, the history of the area, and engage in activities like target practicing, bird watching, and even prairie dog huntinga year-round adventure on this migratory corridor. For those with a keen interest in wildlife, this location is a treasure trove. From thousands of Canadian geese taking flight to the elusive song of the prairie chickens and the vigilant watch of bald eagles, nature's spectacle is on full display. And when night falls, brace yourself for a celestial show, courtesy of the clear, pollution-free skies above. RV campers seeking a touch of adventure can join the host in an old pickup for a hands-on prairie tour, where the pioneering spirit comes alive. Help fetch water, check on cattle, or immerse yourself in seasonal farm activities like mulberry picking or garlic planting. All RV sizes are welcome, ensuring everyone can find their perfect spot to dry camp amidst these beautiful prairies. While the essence of pioneer life permeates the experience, modern comforts are not forgotten. Campfire delights, from s'mores to roast beef, await those wishing to indulge in hearty, open-fire cooked meals. And though the solitude is enchanting, it's a good reminder to come preparedsupplies are an hour's drive away, underscoring the remote, tranquil nature of this RV camping haven.

Its an invitation to embrace the elements or plan your escape to nearby national parks before the storm. Step back in time but bring your RV for comfort, adventure, and an unforgettable connection with the land and its history.
