Buford Canyon

3 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents40 acres · Buford, WY
We purchased 40 acres several years ago and built our home on the west side. We wished we could better access and appreciate the amazing views on the east side so we built two off grid cabins and a campsite. We have been encouraged to share this very special location with others. We have found it very rewarding to share this spot with others.

Welcome to Camp Rendezvouz! We are in Wyoming, on Highway 287 between Fort Collins, CO. and Laramie, WY. When you book, make sure you are committed as we have a strict cancellation policy. We are making this campground more for families and family reunions, or friends that want to be together yet have your own space. It’s high with trees and rocks, beautiful views and amazing starry nights. Camp sites 1 2 3 4 are fairly close together for a family or to circle the wagons. Very nice close hike to a creek. Camp site's 5 and 6 are secluded. They would be best for someone who is self contained, as they don’t have an outhouse nearby. Sites 7 8 9 have some seclusion. Site's 10 11 12 13 14 15 are perfect for families, where you can all be together but separate. We are a work in progress but we will try to accommodate anything you may need. Please talk to us! We have firewood $7.00 per bag delivered to your campsite. Do not bring your own firewood. We don’t want more pine beetles and noxious weeds. More than 2 vehicles per site $10.00 per vehicle per night. A vehicle pulling a trailer counts as 1. A motor home pulling a car or trailer counts as 1. We look forward to hosting you!

The sheep wagon is nestled in an Aspen grove (on 56 acres) with a creek just 12 feet away. From there, you are 1/4 mile away from the national forest and the wilderness. There are thousands of acres to explore, either by hiking , biking or horseback riding. You are also just minutes away from great trout fishing lakes and streams. While here ask about ranch tours and visiting with our sheep, horses, cows and chickens! There will be cattle or sheep on the property with the sheep wagon.

Rebel Ranch

2 sites · RVs, Tents80 acres · Laramie, WY
Experience the rustic charm of Rebel Ranch, where the beauty of the land meets the spirit of the wild. Our working ranch is home to a variety of animals, including horses, bison, and chickens. As you step onto our property, you'll immediately feel a sense of tranquility and connection to nature. There is not a bathroom available for campers on this property. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO OUTSIDE RESTROOM USE, NUMBER 1 OR 2! If you are a tent camper you must have a portable toilet to use inside your tent and must pack it out with YOU. If you do not arrive with the appropriate toilet amenities or are seen using the restroom outside, you will be told to leave the property immediately and will not be refunded. There is a liability waiver copied at the bottom, by booking you are acknowledging and agreeing to that contract. One of the first things you'll notice is our friendly horses, who roam the property freely and are likely to come greet you during your stay. You'll have the opportunity to interact with these majestic animals, feeding them, haltering them, brushing them, and even cleaning their stalls. It's a hands-on experience that will deepen your appreciation for these incredible creatures. Next, you'll have the chance to get up close and personal with our bison. These massive animals are a sight to behold, and you'll have the opportunity to feed them treats, move their grazing pasture, and ensure they have fresh water. It's a rare chance to connect with these iconic animals in a meaningful way. And let's not forget about our chickens! You'll help feed and water them, collect eggs (you'll go home with a half dozen, with more available for purchase), and clean their coop. It's a fun and educational experience that will give you a new appreciation for where your food comes from. Throughout your day at Rebel Ranch, you'll be surrounded by stunning valley and mountain views, creating the perfect backdrop for your farm adventure. Whether you're looking for a hands-on experience or simply want to enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside, Rebel Ranch has something for everyone. Come join us for a day and experience the magic of the ranch for yourself.
