GONE RIDING

Another great camping year has passed. We are now on vacation, will be back to work after the first of the year 2025. We hope to start next season with some new and modern check in arrangements, yes we are moving into the current century. With online booking. Keep your fingers crossed we will see how it goes.

Gate Closing Schedule

This crazy weather has everything confused into thinking Fall is already here. The Elk are on the move early, we have had to chase them off the ranch for the last 2 days. The BIG bucks are determined to bring their herds here. Our horses and cows hate it as much as we do. To that end and in the interest of safety we are going to only open the front gate at check in time 1:00 pm, everyone checked-in has a gate code and can come and go as they please. We will also be closing it at dusk. It is early morning and dusk that they want to come in. Anyone who knows they are going to be arriving late please contact us so we can give you the gate code. We will also be trying to keep a close eye on the gate so as to not miss anyone. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but the last few days have shown us this is better than no-one being in the office to get you to your site, because we are out chasing elk.

Thanks Keith and Konnie

It is your responsibility

It is your responsibility to know the rules, cancellation procedures even office hours and check in times that are listed on this website.
Literally all of your questions can be answered here. Basically if it is not listed it is because we do not have or support it. Please read pages of this web page as part of your research.

Your guests people joining or visiting your site ALL MUST STOP AT OFFICE, AND NEED TO KNOW YOUR LAST NAME. “I am here to see Bill, Susie, Joe, Bob” Is of no help and will not get them past the office. If they are found wandering around the campground having failed to stop at office they risk just being asked to leave and unable to visit you.

Reservation for camping season 2024

We are currently taking reservations for the camping season of 2024 which runs from, Memorial Day weekend (May 24) through till Labor Day weekend (Sept 2). We ask you to use the “RESERVATION FROM” from this website. It helps with accuracy and as a 2 step processes makes sure you have all of the information you need.

Also taking reservations does not mean we are open or hanging out by the phone. We work outside all day, most days. You will find it much less frustrating to reach out to us by email. We answer emails as they come in, when we come in.

We got power back and WiFi only to find that while the gate was down vandals had come in and broke windows and stolen some really heavy items.
