Group trip
Loved camping at this site with my friends. There was a ton of space and we were so close to everything we wanted to do. The property backs up to BLM land so if you step out the back gate you’re able to hike beautiful peaks. There’s a pontoon feature that provides great shade, a perfect place to hang a hammock, and stunning views. There’s property is just five minutes from the lake and nature preserve where we fished all week. Mark was a great host and answered all questions leading up to the trip. This was a trip for my best friends bachelor party and was the perfect spot for our group. Couldn’t have been happier. Will definitely be back with my wife soon. Thanks Mark!

My group loved tent camping here at wandering star ranch! The property is huge and BLM land is incredibly close! This spot is absolutely amazing if you like off roading and shooting! We brought our dirt bike and had a BLAST!! There is a little shooting range up the hill too! The lake is close enough to go fishing too and if you run out of any supplies there is a market and gas station close by as well! The restroom was clean but there were a few black widows in there so make sure you bring something along to remove them! Mark was a great host! He was quick with responses and very helpful! We added firewood and the soak tub to our trip and mark set it all up very quickly! We will most definitely be back to camp here again!!

Weekend Trip to Bare All Retreat
Cory and his family are amazing! The spot is as described. Get ready for wild animals and no reception! Family had a blast playing in the river and enjoying what farm life has to offer.

Corey’s farm is the ultimate farm camping experience. It has everything you’d need. We had a blast. Their instructions were really easy to follow. Road to get there is beautiful and their land is clean. The campsite had all the amenities I’d like to have. (Electricity, water and sewage hookups). They were available if we needed anything. Also they have large dogs that are the friendliest farm dogs that you’d ever encounter. I highly recommend everyone to stay here and experience this gem of a campground.

We had an amazing time camping at Bear all Retreat.
Corey’s place is 130 plus acres of pure-outdoor bliss.
Creek with clear streaming water, amazing views, starry nights and campfires right outside our door. Free range cows, horses, goats, pigs, and chickens, greeted us daily and provided us with entertainment. The family dogs came to visit often hanging out with us keeping us safe and our dog enjoyed making new friends. We hiked and walked on trails collecting pinecones, pine nuts, watercress and fell asleep to the chorus of the frogs in the creek.
Corey’s wife Alicia and kids were so kind and gracious sharing with us fresh farm eggs, goats milk, points of interest around the area and pleasant conversation. Camping the way it is ment to be, cant speak highly enough of this hidden gem. We will surely be returning to Bear all Retreat to clear our mind and soul while camping and hiking in the great our doors.

Group trip
We rented out the whole site for a group camping trip and it was so magical! The creek was flowing and was so nice and refreshing to lounge in. We also really loved the communal campfire and kitchen/dining area. Everything was set up so nicely so we didn’t have to bring much outside of what we needed for food and tent set up. John was very helpful and easy to work with and has such a beautiful setup at Spirit Walk! We definitely want to come back!

I loved camping at wandering star ranch! Beautiful campground, plenty of space to explore. The views of lake Isabella were amazing! The concrete pad and pontoon boat made excellent locations to cook dinner and relax.
Booking, checking in, checking out were all straight forward and easy.
Toilet was clean.
Will for sure be returning in the future!

My friends and I tent camped here for the long weekend and had the best time! Super easy to spread out yet still be together. Excessible to a lot near by and the perfect little get away to go on a hike or fish.

This is our third time staying with Mark and every time Mark is a great host and makes sure we have what we need to make our stay even a better one. We love coming here for the peace and quiet of the mountains and outdoors. The entire place is for your self or your group and if you have Atvs it’s always a safe place to ride up the hills.
