Broken Bone campsite
I appreciate Matt with what he's doing with the property.. I wish him and his wife much success in his endeavors to create a beautiful stay.. the property has beautiful views and I actually stayed longer at the beautiful view site.. beautiful sunrises and sunsets and view of stars above and nite life at the casino down below
Those are the positives. And so future campers know there is no running water nor bathroom options (well there is 2 composting toilets in far back none at broken bones) . I'm very adaptive and made do with the morning routine.. I would highly suggest to Matt to put up an L shaped screen and a picnic table at broken bones..
Overall I really enjoyed the stay

It is a beautiful view from the camp site and the host was very responsive, communicative and friendly. We had a good time overall!
But it could have been amazing... If the fire pit worked. It was broken and we couldn't make it to work even though the host help us over the phone. The BBQ grill was pretty beat up and had a baby mice living in the grill with their little nest (it was cute tho), so we weren't comfortable using it. This could have been easily checked by the host prior. Also there's a lot of foxtail grasses which is fine but I feel like it was too many of them overgrown under the picnic table, so we weren't as comfortable to eat at the picnic table. I think these could've been easily cleaned up prior to the guests arrival. Just be aware that the wind is pretty strong at night when we stayed but again great view.
We hope these issues noted above resolve in future and would love to come back again!

Matthew was a great host who was very responsive and kind.
We were a group of 7 with a dog. We were able to fit three 6-person tents and 1 car. There was ample overflow parking available.
We also were able to see their farm and enjoy fresh eggs.
The area gets pretty windy, so plan accordingly.

The location is perfect, nice mountains, beautifull road leading the the property. Last 5 minutes gravel road and parking at the camping spot was doable also with a 20 ft Van.
Loved the remote feeling of the place, the views, the night stars ... definitely the real camping feeling, which you would not get out of a bigger camps.

Great view of the pass, loved it. The caboose is awesome BTW. A storm hit right when I arrived and had to pack up my camping gear, but inspite of that I thought it was amazing and I'd love to stay again maybe in the summer when the weather is better.
Great hosts, great campsite.

Matthew and Ashley are so hospitable and made our trip so enjoyable! We were welcomed by the goats and got to hold and pet the chickens and ducks. What an amazing view and experience, thank you Ashley and Matthew!

It was a great campsite. Good view of the valley. The weather was great. Please note that the grill had mice living in it, so we left them alone.

A lot of the time, my Hipcamp reservations are done the day before (or the morning of check in) because of my changing work schedule. Matthew/Ashley has accommodated this aspect with great response and communication. This contributes a lot to experiencing great stay at Wandering Caboose Ranch.

The panoramic views were stunning at both sunrise and sunset! We had great stargazing too. Matthew’s site had some bonus amenities that we didn’t need, but loved all the details considered.

I LOVED this location.
The scenery is amazing at all times. The night is wonderful with stars in above and city lights below. The sunset and sunrise are incredible and breathtaking. The day time is so peaceful with the wind and the plants. Matthew and Ash are also super nice hosts. I will definitely be returning!

Camping on the hilltop site was a really cool experience for a night. We were on way to Joshua tree so this was a fun pit stop before going down into the desert. It had just snowed on the peaks of Galena peak and snow peak so the view was spectacular, and our trip was timed well. It did get quite windy as the site is exposed on a hill side of a valley; however, I slept in a truck so sleeping was fine but It was too windy to have a fire safely. The Goats were super friendly and fun to go find and pet. The dogs are also cute but can bark at times. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would come back to that spot if I was passing through - especially in the winter because of the snowcapped mountains across the valley.

Good overall stay at Broken Bone campsite. Staying at Wandering Caboose was really good because of Matthew and Ashley. They are great hosts. I only stayed one night at the Broken Bone site. A storm rolled in that night so I didn't do much. Fortunately, I was able to come back and stay a few more nights at the Hilltop View campsite (the site with even more views). Either way, it is hard to beat any of the views you get at the Wandering Caboose Ranch. Would definitely stay again.

Hilltop Mountain Views
The view from the hilltop was incredible. It would be tough to beat that private and quiet site with such a great overlook. But, what was more incredible was Matthew's and Ashley's customer service. They went above and beyond. Here's what happened...
My vehicle's battery was dead the morning of my check out. And to make things worse, I had to head to work. So, I left a message for Matthew to let him know that I was going to have a tow company drive on their property to give me a jump (hoping it wasn't going to take too much time for the tow company to arrive as I couldn't be late for work). And as I am on the phone with the tow company, Matthew drives up in his car with jumper cables in hand ready to help me out. After a little bit of charging, my car starts and I was good to go. I want to make sure to mention that Matthew got home at 2am and woke up to help me at 8am. If that is not the best caring customer service, I don't know what is. His property is awesome, but he and his wife are more awesome. If you want a great camp experience, book a stay at the Wandering Caboose Ranch.

I loved camping at this. Very private and the views are mind blowing. Just be weary you are on top of a mountain and at the edge. So if it gets windy it’s gonna get real windy. Definitely will be coming back!

Gorgeous hilly views of the town to the left, mountain canyons to the right, beautiful piece of land! The spot is far enough away from the main home to feel private, though you are still in view of a few neighbors on the left and right. Never bothered us, we felt like we were alone out there!
It gets quite chilly at night (writing this in January), so make sure you have a safe heat source or heated blankets!
Matt and Ash were quick to respond and helpful, would recommend staying here if you're looking for a quick weekend out of the city!

Beautiful night view, both the city below and stars above. Enjoyed the propane firepit glow and warmth while relaxing in the serenity of the night. Peaceful, safe, enjoyable area. Hiked the area at daybreak for some relaxing nature exploration. Host Matthew is so helpful and positive. Enjoyed a dozen multi-colored eggs from their free-range chicks! Wonderful visit at Hilltop Mountain Views in Wandering Caboose Ranch :)

Matthew and Ashley have a beautiful piece of property and the views are spectacular. While I was there, we had a bit of a storm and they were able to accommodate me in their caboose. Yes a caboose and it was really cool. I would recommend anybody to this site!

Super easy to book, great communication from host! Private, great views, during our stay it was super windy. I wasn’t prepared for that wind but overall really nice. If you are looking for something just I get away but not have to drive super far this is great spot! Only thing is the fire pit was not staying on I had to hold the button down the entire time to keep it on.

Loved the views from Matthew’s land! I had trouble getting the fire pit started, and Mathew was super nice and came down to help out. Great stargazing and tons of privacy. Would love to stay again.

Tent camping was a great time. It was 6 of us and there was plenty of room for a large tent and all our coolers and accessories. If you go in November like we did prepare for wind. The spot was great and was close to different hiking spots and the view of the sunrises and sunsets was almost unbeatable. Hosts were friendly and helpful when needed. Would recommend.

This was a beautiful spot! The host communicated the current weather possibilities and provided clear directions that made it easy to navigate to the location. They were very welcoming and made me feel great about my solo trip. The view was incredible, my dog got to roam freely, and I even enjoyed some amazing stargazing. If you download the MeteorActive app and use your compass, you’ll know exactly when and where to look. It was a fantastic night, and I’m really looking forward to returning now that I know where this gem is! Don’t think twice about it, just go!

Highly recommend this site to camp. I brought my dog and he and I had a great time, and the host was great and accommodating. I loved the set up and the convenience of having propane and eggs available for purchase for a very affordable price. Matthew was so responsive when I had questions and told me about the area and things I could do. I give this spot a 10/10. I can’t wait to go back.

This is a gorgeous spot, up in the mountains and a great way to get out of the heat. We will definitely be back on our next trip through.
