All new and existing members will be required to renew membership annually.  This charge will be added to your first visit after membership expiration.

The owners and staff of Camp Circle J love to welcome new members.  We are a working cattle ranch, campground and nature retreat.  We strive to provide a peaceful and playful retreat.  We are also a work in progress.  Our vision is to be more than just a successful business, but a place where our members can be free and spontaneous, without the fear of judgement or retribution.  We do not discriminate against anyone for anything.  All are welcome.  We only ask that our members show the same respect to one another.

Come on out. Kick your shoes off or put your boots on.  You always have friends here and membership does have its' privilages!   :-)

If you have a tent, pop-up, yurt or whatever, then come on out and stake a claim on the hill.  There are spots both near and far from the campfire.  Be sure to bring everything you will need, as these spots do not have water or electricity.  Most spots are directly under big, shady trees and it's easy to stay comfortable all year round.

You are welcome to bring gas lanterns or stoves, but we do ask that you you enjoy the campfire at the designated spot on the top of the hill and refrain from lighting a fire at your tent site.  If you need ice, we do sell ice at the main house so you don't have to lug around a drippy bag as you make your way here.  We suggest bringing a cooler full of all of your favorite beverages and some snacks to fuel you up for the day.

If you do not have a tent of your own, but still want to camp on the hill, we have tents for rent. Tents rent for $10-$15 (depending on size).   Pick your camp site, set up your tent and let us break it down at the end of your stay. Be sure to call ahead to reserve one.

For those of you who do not want to rough it on the hillside, we have beds available in the bunkhouse.   This is not the place to stay if privacy is important to you.  It can sleep up to 30 people in "open-bay" barracks.  This is the favorite place to stay for some of our members.

Additional guest will only be charged a $15.00 overnight fee.  Space is limited, so be sure to get your reservations in early.  In the event RV hookups are not available, you are welcome to park your RV without hookups for the overnight fee only.

Sometimes you just can't get away for the night, but you have a few hours to get away for some peace and quiet in the country.  If you would like to come out and enjoy the ranch for just the day, you are very welcome.  Day trips are from 8am - 8pm Sunday - Thursday and 8am - midnight on Friday and Saturdays.  If you decide to stay later than these times you can pay the difference for an overnight fee.
