Sunset Hills Bison Ranch in Malcolm, Iowa is one of rural central Iowa’s most unique businesses – an out-of-the-way bison ranch that sells meat products of the large, grazing mammal that is becoming increasingly popular to raise. However, this working ranch has now opened to a new opportunity – it’s the site of the biggest covered wagon campground in Iowa! The ranch always had the vibe of an old-west adventure, but never like this – you can now sleep under the stars in a classic 1883-style covered wagon, but equipped with modern amenities. It’s one of the most unique glamping experiences in Iowa, and it’s also a perfect opportunity to explore the ranch and have the adventure of a lifetime.
