Bonjon Shepherd Ranch
currently offers dry camping only. We
are waiting for ten 30 amp electric sites to be installed by early spring.
There are plans for a bathroom and shower facility by the end of the
summer, 2004 and a dump station on site to follow.
We plan to have room for a combined RV, Tent or Van camping limit of 20
– 25. This website will be
updated as changes are made.
The current price for Dry
Camping with an RV or Van is $10 per night. It is $5 for tent camping.
There is no water available on site so we ask that you come with filled
tanks. Directions to Flying J with
free dumpsite, water & propane on Both I-75 & I-4 are linked below.
There is free Dry
Camping available at the Super Wal-Mart, 1.3 miles from Bonjon on the corner of
Henderson Rd. & Gunn Hwy. There
are also two nearby RV Campgrounds with full hookups that allow smaller dogs.
