Welcome to the Ranch!
Leave the noise and bustle of urban life behind, and settle into the peace and beauty of our off-grid ranch in Washington’s enchanting Kettle Range. Dark skies make for unparalleled stargazing!
Our Ranch is located 15 miles north of Republic, WA in Ferry County. Just a scenic 30-minute drive further north is the Canadian border crossing at Danville/Grand Forks, BC.
We love hosting campers! A Resource Book is available to borrow, offering ideas for local businesses and recreation. We are happy to help make your stay at our Ranch special!
On the day of your booking, we will reach out as to your ETA. We always greet and escort you to your site, so please arrive as close to Check-In time as possible. If you will be delayed, please be courteous of our time and let us know by calling our landline: 509-775-0204.
NOTE: It is 3 1/2 miles on a dirt county road to reach the Ranch; at various times of the year it is quite bumpy (and dusty)!
If you have questions about the campsites please let us know. If all sites are booked, contact us anyway- we may be able to create a spot just for you! We have room to grow but are doing it slowly.
Each campsite is very private, but the sounds of neighbors in the valley below do travel during the day. This is also a working Ranch so please be aware that there are sounds associated with our activities (although far above the campsites)- the livestock gets excited at feeding time; the dogs bark while doing their jobs, sometimes during the night; the rooster announces the break of dawn. However, none of that detracts too much from the soothing music of the forest!
WILDLIFE: There is a wide range of wildlife around the Ranch- snowshoe hare, grouse, turkey, bobcat, Canada lynx, coyote, cougar, wolf, and black bear. Please use common sense while camping! Always be aware of your surroundings. Keep garbage properly secured. - There are also ticks in the area!

This is not a spot bc the park ranger told us we were not allowed to camp here

This campsite was overall a really good time! There's a trail that leads to the water for any of the campers or visitors to go swim at, site 13 had its own trail down to the water which was so fun to have easy access too! If you want a site with a beautiful view and flat tent spots site 9 and 10 also looked beautiful!
If you plan to stay at the walk in sites I recommend bringing a wagon! The walk from car to campground is not far but there is a decent hill you have to walk down to the campsite.
Pit toilet was nice and well taken care of! The hand sanitizer was out, but otherwise very clean. The only toilet is at the parking lot, so it's a short walk from the campsites.
The other downside was bugs! SO many bee's! Especially when we ate we had to walk with our food to keep the bee's away we never got stung though!. And mosquitos at night were bad but all of it was manageable with big spray!
Overall a great campsite, if you go during the week you might have the walk in sites all to yourself, not crowded and lots of fun!

Really well maintained, beautiful campground with great swimming water. Peewee falls is about a 10 minute kayak from the beach. Great stay. Definitely recommend staying during the week. Weekend traffic is intense.
TravelerNice place on public land. Swimming possible. We stayed for the night
Traveler
A great place if you’re looking for a quick overnight stop with easy highway access. Water from a hand pump well and vault toilets available. Also a nice ADA trail at site.
TravelerUndeveloped and rather unkempt, but a lovely view of the river. Quiet and free! There is a porta-potty that was clean when we visited but no trash pickup and some litter. Great place for a quick overnight stay.

Campsite 36 in the Pine loop is just a short walk away from a lovely lake beach that has fire pits and picnic tables. The campsite itself is very nice, large, shaded, with a decent distance from neighboring campers as far as campgrounds go. I didn't do what I usually do and walk around the campground to see what the best site is to book during future visits, but I have zero complaints about this site. We really enjoyed our stay at Lake Sullivan and our excursions to Metaline Falls, Gardner Cave, Peewee Falls, Mill Pond Historic Site, and Crescent Lake.

Right on the Lake, has water Filling Station and Dump Also Boat ramp A bunch of small Flies, they don’t bite
Scout
Arrived to find an available site. Nice view of Lake Leo. Clean site, vault toilet's were clean and well stocked. The grounds were checked up on by the Forest Service and camp host. There are no services at the sites other than fire pits. Water is available. However, it needs filtering. Camp sites are far enough away from Highway 20 that traffic wasn't heard.
Guide
This site #8 is one of the larger sites at Sullivan Creek.
It’s right next to the river and about 150 yards from the road.
At the site: Fire Ring, and a bear box. Across the road there is a vaulted toilet along with a few campsites there next to each other.
Pack in and pack out! Sullivan lake is about 2-3 miles west and priest lake is 20+ miles to the east. If you do not have a 4wd vehicle I wouldn’t recommend driving on the service road to Priest, and depending the time of year the snow pack about 10 miles in will stop you!
Traveler
What a beautiful spot! We arrived the weekend before Memorial Day weekend and stayed 3 nights. Saw eagles and deer right from our site. The vaulted toilets made life easy and the camp host was beyond friendly and helpful. The very small hike to the falls was only steps away from our site, and one of the sites you could even see the falls! We didn’t choose that one cuz it was full shade and a little noisy for my taste. The sites are roomy and pretty darn spaced out so we couldn’t hear the neighbor we had for a night. It’s about 10 min from colville, but make sure you get wood before hand, you can gather from the area, but stopping at a store to grab it costs a fortune. We might have to make this a regular spot, we loved it so much.

Great
Traveler
Worked well to connect spots that were next to each other for a larger group. But most of the ground was hard and difficult to find good tent spots. The only level spots were the parking spots. Access to water was nice.
Traveler
Great site to connect with the lake, but didn't enjoy the tent spots available. Ground was hard and mostly prepared for RVs.

Jake from the Dyrt here! We're excited to have this campground on the Dyrt and ready for you to book, check them out and make sure to leave a review!
Traveler
Unfortunately we had to leave early but lesson learned. I was camping with my 4 sons and at 1255 am a big cougar walked right into our camp. I was fully prepared for bears but not a big cat. Next time I camp here I'm bringing a solar strobe to deter the cats
Scout
Chip & Bunny are the greatest hosts! We had to leave a day early (without notice) due to the fires being close to our home and they refunded the one night back to us without even being asked. We surely didn’t expect that! We will be back again.
ScoutVery quiet, small lake, boat launch, outhouse
Scout
I enjoyed staying in the screen house cabin and will definitely be back. Lots to do in the area if you like fishing, hiking, biking, horses, and much more. I had a great campfire and watched a mama bear and her cub on the hill beyond the cabin! Also saw deer in the driveway and the night sky was awesome with NO lights in any direction except the stats!
Great hosts and everything you need!

Jake from the Dyrt here! Highland Glenn Ranch is new to the Dyrt and offers an awesome spot with a great way to connect with the wilderness in this Northern US Border Ranch. Check them out and make sure to post some pics of your stay!

They were so friendly. Nice spots, wide, easy to back in (30ft). Free fresh eggs from their chicken, fresh onions from the garden and more. Never felt so welcomed like here.
Guide
We had a great experience here. The owner Ralph is very affable and helped us get to our site the first night as well as drove my car back for me from the canoe launch site. I’d highly recommend this camp!
Guide
This is a great spot to rent a cabin. There’s great fishing as long as a license is bought online from the Colville Tribe. They also have a swimming area.

Super quiet

This is a five star campground based on our criteria. Only reason we give it four stars is they are letting the only trees they have for shade die and they are creating a mess. No shade without them. Grounds are largely in disarray. Also washers are top load agitator type. There are many positives though that will bring us back. It is largely a quiet small campground. It is very reasonably priced and is very dog friendly. There are several places to walk the dogs on leash and off within either walking distance or a short drive to the Colville national forest. Management is really friendly and flexible to changing needs. And they do not require payment until you show up. This is a great spot for golfers as well as non golfers. Note the club has pickle ball courts for free use! Great little restaurant and bar on site too with very cheap drinks ($9 Moscow mule!)
ScoutCool place, but not for camping. Contrary to the description, this place isn’t meant for established or even disbursed camping. There are no campsites. We looked around the area for disbursed camping spots, but the terrain made it really difficult to get around and find a place to pitch a tent/hammock. I wouldn’t recommend for campers, but the trails would be great for cross country skiing. This place is not a campsite. It’s a group of cross country ski trails.
Guide
This is one of my son’s and my happy spots! We love hiking around the lake and the campsites are affordable and beautiful. The west side is more open but also dispersed. The East side is less dispersed but more private with thick vegetation between most sites. There are rocky outcrops around most of the lake and a small island. I’ve heard the fishing is good but we’ve never gotten any bites yet… but that’s just a matter of figuring out what lures/bait to use. Many people just park next to the road to fish as eagles and osprey can be seen diving into the lake to catch fish of their own.
