Site 3 - Gun Smoke Ranch
Very pleasant campground!
I stayed at campsite #3 (of 3). The campgrounds are extremely well-maintained. Lots of grass so it doesn’t get muddy, even after some rain. The picture shows two Adirondack-like chairs but these were not at the campsite so be sure to bring your own chairs. The firepits are good and there are various large wooden spools which double as tables and chairs. John provides plenty of firewood and is very friendly and helpful. There is a lot of room to roam around and it is quite peaceful! I enjoying coming to this campground and look forward to future visits! Toilet is in the camper and very usable.

Site 2 - Gun Smoke Ranch
John's property is fantastic. Sites are great, with shade and ample space. Firewood was stocked upon our arrival and everything was clean. Sites were well marked and easy to access with our small pull behind travel trailer. It's all at the back of the property so lots of privacy from the main house and roadway.
We didn't use the shooting range, but there is one on site. Also a small creek at the very back of the property. Facilities if you need them. John was very communicative and answered all questions we had.
We would (and definitely will) stay here again. Thanks John!

Site 3 - Gun Smoke Ranch
Our First Hipcamp
Overall we had a nice stay. It was easy to find the address and site. The property has a beautiful assortment of trees. The grass was very lush and well maintained which created a nice soft surface under our tent. Communication was great. John informed us that he wouldn't be home during our stay but that his wife would be available if we needed anything. When John arrived home, the last day of our stay, he introduced himself and also offered to take our trash. We had a nice conversation and he really seems like a great guy!
Suggestions:
- Move the spool tables leaving one or two for campers to use so the site doesn't look crowded.
- Move the generator out of site so it doesn't distract from the beauty of the site.
- Use cameo, grass green, or brown colored tarps to cover items instead blue so they blend into nature and don't stand out so much.
- Keep dogs on a leash. We were charged the first time we walked to the bathroom which was very scary! The young lady, that we believe is a tenant, apologized but didn't get her dog under control. We didn't feel safe walking to the restroom after that encounter so had to drive.
- If you offer a restroom ensure it's clean before campers arrive. We had to clean it before use.
- The adjacent property started running their trackor at dusk which disturbed the pease and quite we were seeking. If this is normal, I would mention it in the description so campers are aware.

Memorial weekend ‘24
Nice camp sites far enough apart for privacy.
Fire pits, tables, firewood and a few extras at the site

Lots of fun!
We really loved this property, lots of mature trees offer shade, well manicured field offers tons of space for activities. The shooting range was pretty nice. John was very polite, kind and accommodating. The sites were far behind the house and offer tons of privacy. The driveway to the sites is a bit tight, I have a 12’ trailer and a 4door 1500 pickup. We made it without issue but anything larger may need to be guided through. Overall great experience-We will be back!
