What a fabulous place to camp!! An oasis in the middle of the desert!! Ponds, trails, mountains, horses, donkeys, trees, showers, garbage, open skies….BLISS

Great spot to mtn. bike, not many places outside Tahoe and Vegas area. Thi s is NOT for people just looking for a stop off the highway. It's for people using the trails. While here, two deadbeats showed up for a shower. I was talking to the owner at the time. they lied to his face about hiking in the area, eventually saying well, driving from Washington was quite a hike. When asked about a donation their long pause and shiftiness made clear these takers just intended to grab a hot shower, maybe do laundry in the sink, and head out. So don't do it! Don't ruin another place with your race to the bottom. If you donate, probably okay, but it seems he wants to promote some eco tourism. The town does not seem rich ...

Nice spot except for unending line of trucks on nearby highway. Hard shell campers probably won’t hear too much inside. Wonderful warm, clean bathroom and showers! Donations requested. FYI, there is NO electricity at sites (a few outdoor outlets in picnic area) and no WiFi. Verizon service is good. Didn’t get to meet the owner. Maybe next time. Mountain biking trails are awesome! Spent two days riding hard. Also FYI, trails are almost universally narrow, so even if they are labeled green, some may not be happy;) Big thanks to ranch owner Dave Spicer!

Excellent place to mountain bike or hike. There are several donation boxes so please use them if you stay here. All private land and the owner likely will personally greet you. Very family friendly place.
