We love Hunter, Libby and Stan are the best camp hosts, super nice folks and always there to help. There are miles and miles of riding - Seven Brothers, Elk Lake, Florence Canyon just to name a few. The riding is rugged/rocky, but that's to be expected in the mountains. We love the town of Buffalo, we've been to the Jim Gatchell Memorial Museum several times, Crazy Woman Canyon is a beautiful drive and a trip to Sheridan to King's Saddlery is always a treat.

A very nice primitive campground with great views and riding. The camp hosts are wonderful, very helpful and friendly. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because there is only one corral per site. The corals are large enough for 2 equines, but 3 is tight and if they don’t all get along it is problematic. There were 3 of us in one trailer and we had to buy an additional site for an extra corral that someone could have used. An improvement would be to have an overflow corral or two that could be rented. There was quite a bit of day use parking that was 98% unused while we were there and I don’t think it would be sacrificing much to put a couple of extra pens there.
