Primitive camping

Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.

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.

Peaceful private setting

We loved staying on Stacy and Brent’s land! We were camping with friends and Stacy arranged us near each other. There is generous space for each campsite for privacy. There are some trees along the edge of the camping area, otherwise bring your own shade. Very quiet for peaceful sleeping.

This was a great stay. The host's communicated well, we knew exactly where we should be going to park. They met us at the camp site to welcome us & answer any questions. The space was large & easy to access for our 35ft 5er & f350 dually to turn around & get backed in. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Stacy & Brent.

I had to remind myself, I’m still Ohio, because the land and bison made me venture into Western memories dearly missed. I loved this ranch and would recommend it to anyone that is looking for a tranquil getaway and a chance to admire and stare a buffalo in the eyes and remember there were once millions roaming this country! So glad this family has open their place to hipcampers! Thank you!

I stayed in a nice spot by the pond with a picnic table, sheltered from the wind. A very nice stay, minus the inclement weather.

Thankful

Worked with me upon arrival. Was greeted by chickens and a friendly dog. I came right before a thunderstorm but they were accommodating and offered me another space if needed. The buffalo were in a different pen but up by the property front. Fun to see and walk around the campground. Beautiful at night. Accommodating and sweet.

It was nice to see the buffaloes, but otherwise a very plain and basic camp site in an open field.
