Bracy Gold Bison Ranch

10 sites · RVs, Tents85 acres · Swanton, OH

Welcome to our working bison ranch, where a unique experience awaits you. Explore our ranch through walking the paths that meander along the creek and around each bison pasture. As you stroll, discover the serenity of a large pond teeming with fish, dragonflies, butterflies, and amphibians. Visit our onsite store, where you can purchase our high-quality bison meat and unique bison artifacts. Additionally, from May to October, we offer tractor-drawn wagon tours into the pastures, providing an up-close encounter with these majestic animals. Nestled within a few miles of charming small towns boasting independent restaurants and stores, our location offers a perfect blend of rural tranquility and local amenities. For those seeking more extensive shopping options, we are conveniently situated within 15 miles of larger Toledo suburbs, featuring a variety of big-box stores. Our bison enjoy over 55 acres of pasture, benefitting from our commitment to rotational grazing for both pasture and bison health. At our ranch, we prioritize working harmoniously with the land, fostering the return of native flora and fauna to our property. Situated a few miles north of Swanton, our land, once used for standard crops, has undergone a transformation. After five years, we proudly boast an array of accomplishments, including the identification of over 25 different bird species in a single morning, an increase in local native pollinator populations (including the monarch butterfly), and a reduction in soil erosion. Join us on this journey as we invite you to experience the beauty of nature, the magnificence of bison, and the positive impact of sustainable practices on our land.

We bought this 125+ year old farm in 2010 with the hope of bringing it back to life.

Peaceful and remote, the property has a beautiful brook that leads you to the South branch of the Portage river. Deer, turkey, geese, herons, mink and fox are just a few of our natural animal friends. Rusty the steer and his pony friends Buckeye and Lexi can be visited while they graze in the pasture. There's also Turk the turkey and his flock of chickens. We have the perfect place for dogs as well. We have four dogs that get along great with others and our fenced pond keeps them safe.

Camping near Toledo guide

Overview

You might be surprised to learn that Toledo, the fourth-largest city in Ohio, offers endless opportunities for off-shore recreation thanks to its location along the Maumee River and nearby Lake Erie. Maumee Bay State Park spans 1,338 acres on the shores of Lake Erie with a resort lodge, an inland lake, a nature center, an accessible boardwalk trail, and campsites for both tents and RVs. Easter Harbor State Park is another option if Maumee Bay is too busy, while Harrison Lake State Park sits about an hour east of Toledo. Within city limits, Toledo's Metroparks system offers extensive trails, paddle boating, kayaking, fishing, guided nature walks, and bird-watching on the 18-mile-long Towpath Trail, plus urban campgrounds like the White Oak Campground. After exploring city attractions like the Toledo Museum of Art and Toledo Zoo & Aquarium, you’ll see that Toledo camping seamlessly blends urban convenience with various options for nature enthusiasts.
