About Us

Nothing fancy, just a good night's rest with peace and quiet.

We're George and TT Tucker, a retired couple in our 60s offering an RV hookup spot for travelers of Highway 20 that need a place to stop and rest for the night. 50 acres, one location.

This is not a place of business or an RV park. This is our hobby. We run on donations only, and everything goes toward our rescue animals, habitat restoration, and keeping the restrooms stocked.

Honoring Captain

Captain Eor Crunch Tucker was a 43-year-old rescue who came to us despite difficult early circumstances. He was always gentle natured and warmed the hearts of all that came to meet and know him.

Captain passed on April 22, 2024. We like to think he's roaming lush and abundant pastures of the heavens now. This place carries his name.

Camping vs. RV Travel

Camping gives you a more immersive experience but takes longer to set up and break down. RV travel gives you comfort and convenience, and works better for folks with mobility concerns.

We welcome RVs of all sizes.

Pronghorn Quick Facts

Pronghorn can run close to 60 miles an hour. Fastest land animal in the Western Hemisphere. They can see movement up to 4 miles away with a 300-degree field of vision.

You'll spot them around the property, especially at dawn and dusk.
