Welcome to Rafter U Ranch campgrounds

  Rafter U Ranch began with the sport of Rodeo. Marcus rode bulls and broncs in high school and later decided to start raising his own stock and producing Rafter U Rodeos for entertainment and education for future cowboys. He later found that his true calling was picking up men during the rodeo events. His fearless spirit and well-trained horses have allowed Marcus an opportunity to work for the PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association) as a Professional Pickup man for Rodeos all over the United States. Our ranch currently raises cattle and hay on 200 acres of land in the Logan County area.  

 Nestled in a valley at the foot of Mount Magazine in Paris Arkansas,  Rafter U Ranch campgrounds offer a peaceful atmosphere on a paved road with a 12-mile easy access into the city of Paris. Our 12-acre property is an open hay field surrounded by a ridge leading up to the mountain with wide open views. ATV trails, Horseback riding trails, waterfalls, hiking trails, and lakes to fish in are 10-20 miles from our campsite.  

Our family began in 2007. Marcus and Misty have been married for 16 years. Both of us were born and raised in Paris Arkansas and have lived on our Farm for 14 years. We have three kids that are active on our ranch. Everyone works together to accomplish farm chores, raising chickens, cows, rabbits, and horses. Each hay season we all are on the fields preparing the land to harvest. Our hay production helps feed our animals during the drought season.
Marcus works at our Family's Lumberyard as a manager and also a Pickup Man for the PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association). Misty is a small business owner of Mod Miss Jewelry and a non-profit director of Haven of Hope Ministry. Our family is very active in our community and church where we attend CT (Community Transformation) of Paris.
Our three kids attend Paris School District where they are very active in sports and FFA and FCA. We are a family of faith, compassion, and integrity.
