Sites Remaining for Phase 2 Development
23
Thank you for your interest in Phase 2 Development! This next development phase consists of developing ~2 dozen additional sites in 2025. Whether you are looking for a place to spend your summers, have a long term option for family camping/storage, or seeking a community of like minded folks that enjoy self sufficiency, sustainability as well as having a lifelong love of learning!
Please review the information below on available sites. All sites are all zoned under the Observer Ranch Campground (Special Use Permit for Travel Trailer Park & Campground).
Your upfront cost is the exclusive site use fee (99 Year Term). All sites must follow Fremont County/State rules/regulations.
 
Cabins must have a Certificate of Occupancy (we have an approved 1-bedroom cabin model; major changes will need approval). RV Sites are limited to 90 days within a calendar year per County Regulations. Cabins and RV sites must be ‘on grid’ (water, electric, septic). Site holders may be able to rent out their site as part of a Rental Program. 
 
Each current site holder understands the need to build community, get involved in long term planning, and has supportive skill sets. We will be planning gardens, husbandry, have a 1.5 acre lake and basic bunker as part of future projects. 
This project includes a considerable time and financial investment, and is not guaranteed. Site Holders are members of ORMA (Observer Ranch Members Association), and it is run similarly to an HOA with voting on priority tasks and staying in alignment with long term goals.
