of Blue Bell Lodge

Blue Bell Lodge is as comfortable as a pair of old blue jeans. This hideaway retreat with a guest ranch flavor offers a Western experience that's sure to charm the boots right off 'ya!

At Blue Bell, you can take your pick of Western theme activities. Saddle up for a trailride through some of the park's prettiest areas. If you're feeling a bit more daring, try an all day ride, led by seasoned cowboys.

Our chuck-wagon cookouts, another cowboy tradition, draws quite a crowd. Start with a haywagon ride through the scenic back country of the park to a secluded canyon followed by an old-fashioned chuck-wagon dinner, complete with Western entertainment.

The Blue Bell Lodge Dining Room serves up home cooking, with specialties that include buffalo and steak. If you have a family reunion, the White Buffalo Room could be your ticket to a great event. The Blue Bell General Store is close by for picking up supplies.

Every cabin has a fire pit outside, so you can end your day like the real cowpokes did - telling tall tales around the campfire!
