The Lamar Buffalo Ranch Field Campus
Located in Yellowstone’s scenic Lamar Valley, the historic Buffalo Ranch field campus is the year round base for many of the Institute’s field seminars. Peaceful and spectacular home to wolves, bears, elk, and bison, Lamar Valley is an excellent place to experience and learn about Yellowstone. Read about our field seminars and the Lamar Buffalo Ranch here.
The facility includes simple and comfortable accommodations in log guest cabins, a heated bathhouse with showers and rest rooms, and a common building with classrooms and kitchen. Students share space in log cabins that include three single beds, a propane heater, and reading lights. The cabins do not have electrical outlets or plumbing. Students are expected to bring a sleeping bag and pillow and prepare their own meals in the fully equipped kitchen. Cabins are available to participants on a first-come, first-served basis and the fee is $25 per night per person. Early reservations are advised.
If you are participating in a course based at the Buffalo Ranch but prefer alternative accommodations, National Park Service campgrounds and park hotels are nearby. Campsites are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Space is limited in park hotels and reservations should be made as early as possible.
