Many of our guests come for the horse-related programs and activities, including horse camping. The attraction of being able to vacation alongside your favorite equine is undeniable, and Surprise Valley Ranch is the premiere location in this region for equine training. Home to the U.S. Mounted Response Unit Training Center, the ranch provides practical training and skill development to groups and individuals ranging from novice to professional Rangers.
Not into horses? Other favorite activities among our guests include:
With a backyard of well over two million acres of protected wilderness, the headwaters of the Sapello River just a short distance up the mountain from your cabin, shooting ranges, a horse whisperer on site and wildlife spotting that ranges from hummingbird to mountain lion, pika to bull elk, we're pretty sure you won't suffer from lack of things to do during your stay.
