The host was incredibly nice and we had an awesome time. Super close to a really gorgeous hike with beautiful views of the lake. Short drive to convenience store and the lake. Overall, we had a great experience. It did get pretty hot during the day and windy but we honestly lucked out pretty well with the weather.

It was awesome being able to ride our dirt bikes and quads out to the BLM from the property and we got to do some shooting at the shooting range as well which is a super short walk/drive. The views of the sunset/sunrise and the lake from the property are amazing. Our stay was amazing and we hope to be back soon.

This is our second time at The Wandering Stars. We love it and Mark is a great host. Plus place is super clean and has different outdoor areas in the lot for the kids to play on. We can’t wait for our next time to come here. Hot springs are close by and Lake Isabella too if you love fishing. We love the view and the OHV trail. One of the best hipcamps we have found. Can’t wait for our next family gathering here.

Wandering Star was fantastic. The property was beautiful and had plenty of space for our group to camp. It is just a short way from town if you need anything, but butts up against BLM land making it feel even more expansive and provides great access for hiking or exploring. Highly recommend!
