Bar X Ranch

We trailered in and out each day to ride the MDH. This was a perfect spot to setup base camp. The horses had a clean spot to eat and rest with fresh water real close by so you could drag the hose right over. And there were many, many trails in and around the ranch for our shorter ride days too! Thanks for having us Doug!!

Just as advertised. Simple campsite, no reservation needed other than calling ahead. Cash or check. Tent camped and enjoyed the quiet August nights. Lots of flies due to all the horse stalls. But the flies stick around the food and trash bags. Camp host was friendly and gave us some firewood. 5 miles of gravel to get to the site. And you gotta be westbound on I-94 to get there from town as best we could tell.

I have mixed emotions on how to review this campground, so I will list pros and cons. Pros: Owner was very nice and accommodating. If you are traveling with horses, which we were not, there were several pens available. It is located in beautiful country. Cons: There are not well defined sites at all. Basically, it was a matter of finding an area to park that would reach one of the outlets. Water was available to fill up your holding tank but there was no dump station. The roads leading up to the campground were extremely dusty, like so dusty it even infiltrated through the slide-in of our camper. The bath house was functional with running water but not nice at all. I'm sure this campground is enjoyed by horse people due to lots of trails for riding with incredible views. However, if y

Bar X Ranch is a campground that I go to throughout the year with my horses. It has electrical hookups for your camping unit and corals and water for your horses. Lots of trails to ride. Always a great stay, with a scenic view.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with BarX. As noted previously by other reviewers - the travel to get to the facility is a dirt road, so expect your vehicle and rig to be dusty. Expectations were tempered on our end - so we weren't bothered by this. Upon arrival, we were met by the owner and a few friends(staff or family?)- and they were all extremely friendly. Upon pulling into the ranch, the 'host' took us to a place to set up for the night. We weren't traveling with horses, but instead 3 littles (2, 5, and 6) and they thoroughly enjoyed the horses! Grasshoppers galore... There aren't defined sites, but that again didn't bother us. It's truly peaceful here and you cannot beat the friendliness of the crew onsite. Thanks for the lovely stay!
