Back Forty Ranch

"Beware of campsites being listed as having water and electric. While we did have electric the nearest water was across the road and over 200 ft away and shared with two other campsites that were already hooked up to it . Staff was not helpful and acted like it was a typical setup which it's not. We couldn't change sites and they wouldn't refund us the difference in price to a rustic site which is basically what we ended up with."

"I really enjoyed the area. Not only are there trail rides, but also the ice cream is amazing. There are also quite a few fun kids attractions, like the park and pool! We really had a fun time there."

"Cabins are beautiful! What a great place to celebrate, retreat, relax, vacation and or any other reason!"

"The Back Forty Village was shut down when we camped. My daughter enjoyed riding the horses and the crew there were amazing in hospitality. Bathrooms need attention as they were dirty and out dated. The indoor mini golf at Double JJ ranks toward the top of my list for fun and excitement. Only issue there is dress light as you feel the heat and humidity from the Waterpark. Really think if marketing was done right, people whom stay the night on the resort would receive discounts for the water park. Also, web page needs to be updated informing guests of what is open vs closed. We don't mind paying for a resort with resort prices if the resort is open!"

"July 2021 - my family had a blast here in the back 40 ranch. The pool area back here has a small kid area. Another pool to play volleyball and basketball. Behind that is this water ride where you sit on an inner tube. Takes maybe 9 seconds to fly down it, through a barn and out you go. My 3 kids did it maybe 20 times in a row. Hardly a wait and that was their favorite part of our week vacation. By the cabins there is a spot to do a shared fire. We got to know 2 other families, and that was awesome. If we had our own, we would have never talked to anyone. The only knock I had was in the cabin, the stairs need a light or something. Its pitch black and if you have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, good luck not falling. We left one light on all night. However, my children loved sleeping in that loft. When you check in at the main area with the water park. You leave their and go to the main road. Turn left and maybe 1/2 mile on the left is the back 40. You will see a big sign. Nice people, and we are thinking of doing it again next year. Next year I am bringing my basketball, S'mores kit, and some outdoor games the kids can play."
