Japanese Cabin

Always a peaceful and restorative stay! The quiet can’t be beat. Cabin has all you need, and Rod is an excellent host and fun to talk to but also respectful of your privacy. I come here for solitude and to recharge. Never disappoints.

Big Quiet Tent Camping

Rod was a great host. He went out of his way to walk down the hill to our camp site to greet and make us feel welcome. In the morning he was back to make pancakes and sausage for breakfast. People talk about southern hospitality, but they can only aspire to be as friendly and gracious as Rod was to us. The sunset was amazing. The birds chattered as they settled in the tall grass. Cattle called out a last goodnight. It was a quiet night other than the gentle rush of water over rocks in the nearby stream. Darkness came quickly with a clear sky filled with stars. It was everything my daughter and I could have hoped for in a camp site. I wish we could have stayed for more than one night.

Thank you!

Rod first and for most was an amazing host, very friendly and helpful. His camp was quiet and cute as well as very comfy. He and his camp were more than accommodating and I would recommend this place 1,000 times over!

Big Quiet Tent Camping

The owner was friendly and he made a lovely batch of coffee and pancakes before we go hit the road. The site was well-thought-out with an outdoor shower. Washroom and kitchen area. I certainly would recommend this site. Do anyone traveling through the Wyoming area.

Site 2 - Cowboy Range Teepees

We loved our stay at the Big Quiet Camping, one of our most memorable experience at a campsite. Amazing scenery , beautiful nature with sunrise, sunset and starry sky. Having breakfast and chatting to Mickey about the most incredible stories of Wyoming life was so interesting and fun. The outdoor shower is super. We would highly recommend this lovely and peaceful campsite. Don’t miss it!
