My goal on this trip was to get off the hwy and see new things and new places. This was a great spot and just what I was looking for. The host was awesome and came out to make sure I found my spot since I did not arrive until way after dark.

Quiet dark desert camping. A bit of a drive down a dirt road, but worth it.

I loved the cute setup that Star Gaze has for my SO and pets, all the amenities are very well thought out and we stayed plenty warm even though the night got to almost freezing temps. Looking forward to staying here again!

We had an amazing night at the ranch! The animals, tent, and games there made our trip. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality— we’ll definitely be returning!

Very cozy and hospitable place. Everything needed to enjoy a night under the stars. Great for my dog to roam untethered. Host meal was tasty.

I loved dry camping at this ranch! The host were amazing and generous with their time to share about all of the different animals that they have rescued. I would gladly stay there again!

While not necessarily traditional camping, I enjoyed pitching my tent next to the long horn cattle. They proved to be good camping companions. The sunset from this location was spectacular. I found it to be a safe stop over for a solo female traveler.

We arrived after dark with our trailer and got a bit lost- Warren rescued us!! So grateful he answered his phone. Wonderful to wake up to a herd of cattle who escaped from a neighboring ranch. Our 9# chihuahua mix thought she was a ranch dog; she was off leash exploring and was in heaven with all the smells. A fun first stop on our 3 week road trip.

We enjoyed our one-night stay at Mountain View Hipcamp. We were the only ones staying for the night which made for a nice quiet evening. This is a wedding venue also so there are clean restrooms, a water spigot, fire pit with wood. Nice stop away from loud traffic noise. Really enjoyed it.

1 night at Star Gaze Ranch
What a fabulous respite! Gracious host, beautiful country. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Loved the sound of coyotes, star-gazing, stunning silence, all in a well-appointed canvas tent. The bed was so comfortable and I was charmed to boil water for cowboy coffee on the wood stove in the morning. Road-tripping so a short one night stay, but I hope I get a chance to return!

I actually didn't get the opportunity to stay. We came into the area hours later than expected (dark) and immediately lost cell reception, no GPS, no email, no phone, making it to difficult to find. Once we got back into cell range I messaged host and they were ready to do just about anything to help us get back. Very friendly and when we are in the area again we will give it another try. Not host fault, T-Mobile's fault 😊.

Tent
So beautiful, silent and peaceful. I didn’t have the chance to meet Morgan but they let me know they would be in town when I arrived and to make myself comfortable. A great place for some reflection if that’s what you’re looking for. It is about 30 min off the highway so be sure to have enough gas to get you there and back.

Such a fun and unique stop on our road trip! The kids loved the lasso, biking around, and sleeping in their own tent under the stars. The extras were amazing, highly recommend the pizza supplies, breakfast delivered, and fresh eggs to take on the road. A wonderful family-friendly spot!

My second stay at this HipCamp. The owners are just lovely, personal and helpful. Good, good people. The dark skies and super quiet nights make this a special place.

I loved the tent cabin at Star Gaze Ranch! Set in the high desert, it was very private with a wonderful view of the mountains and the setting sun. Additionally, as a woman traveling alone with a small dog
