The Camp at Buffalo Mountain Ranch
Bring everyone together at the ranch with room to spread out. Across the Lodge, Barracks, and Mess Hall, you’ll find 50 beds, two kitchens, and separate spaces to sleep, share meals, meet, and unwind. The Camp is reserved for one group at a time, just 20 minutes outside Abilene.
One Camp. Three buildings.
Each building has a different job. The Lodge provides bedrooms and shared living space. The Barracks adds dedicated group lodging. The Mess Hall gives everyone a separate place to prepare food, sit down together, and gather around the table.
Together, they allow a group to stay, meet, eat, and unwind in one place while the rest of Buffalo Mountain Ranch stretches out around them.

The Barracks makes it easier for a larger group to stay together. Its sleeping quarters, bathrooms, and showers are a short walk from the Lodge and Mess Hall, so guests can turn in when they are ready and rejoin everyone for meals and activities.

Room for the group
The bed count gives larger groups the flexibility to stay on the ranch together instead of dividing the visit between separate hotels.
The twin-bed total includes bunk beds.
Plan the practical details
These details give planners a useful starting point. Final room setup, schedules, catering, and activities can be worked through around the needs of the group.
The Camp is currently reserved for one group at a time, giving your gathering private use of the Lodge, Barracks, and Mess Hall.
Groups can reserve the Camp for a day gathering without staying overnight, or build a multi-day stay around the 50 beds.
Guests have full access to both kitchens. The Mess Hall currently has approximately eight full-size tables with seating for about 48 people.
The Lodge conference room currently seats about 16 around tables. A projector and speakers are available, and the room can be reconfigured for other meeting formats.
Outside catering is welcome and coordinated separately from the ranch. We may also be able to help with local vendor recommendations and logistics.
The Camp has parking for approximately 20 cars, with overflow available. The buildings are wheelchair accessible and include ADA restrooms.
Wi-Fi is available at the Camp for meetings, presentations, and everyday guest use.
The outdoor basketball court can also be used for pickleball. A net is available; please bring your own paddles and balls and let us know if you would like to use it.
Pricing is based on day or overnight use, the buildings reserved, group size, dates, and planned activities. Send an inquiry for a tailored quote.
History in the walls
The Lodge, Barracks, and Mess Hall stand on what was once the Integrated Fire Control, or IFC, side of the U.S. Army’s Nike-Hercules battery DY-50. This was the radar, tracking, command, and support side of the installation.
The separate launcher area was located on what is now neighboring property and is not part of Buffalo Mountain Ranch. What remains here has been given a very different purpose: helping groups stay, eat, and spend time together.

The fireside lounge, recreation room, and outdoor court give groups easy places to spend time between meals, meetings, and planned activities. Beyond the Camp, more than 4,400 acres of ranch country provide the change of setting that brought the group here in the first place.
The Camp is also close to the outdoor equestrian arena and the wider ranch, making it a practical base for many different kinds of stays.
