**Please follow arrival instructions on your site. Please arrive before sunset. It was November 2018 we found this 80 acre property, unlike the hundreds we looked at, this one had a taste of the Wild West, settlers, Signs of ocean presence, shells, fossils. It was a chilly December week 2018 we came to see what it would be like to live here in the winter. We stayed a week in a aluminum horse trailer waking up to amazing sunrises, making awful coffee over a fire. Making an evening campfire to cook, bbq and making cocktails sitting on logs. I gathered all the geographical data I could to build what is now 120,000 sq ft horse rescue facility completely off grid accept with minimal generator help to run well pumps. Why Hipcamp? We loved the breathtaking scenery that almost doesn't look real with frosted tip of mountains, the smell of with sage in the cool breeze. We carved out our camp sites in the very same spot we stayed in the horse trailer to share that experience with others! Our campsites are now lightly graveled, mostly level, with rock firepits made from rocks gathered on the property and each spot has tree rounds to sit on from our Ca. Ranch.

360° views and quiet

This place is really neat. Nestled in the Unionville basin south of Wendover, seeped in history and beauty. The folks were super nice and helpful. The campsite is quiet and has 360° views. Very peaceful.

Simply magical location. The big skies, the wide open space and the serenade of rescued animals. Morgan is an amazing host, kind and gracious. This is a must stop.

Morgan’s property feels very safe and private. We arrived later than expected, and didn’t want to bug our hosts by stopping on the way in, but he came out to the site after we were settled on his ATV to greet us all the same, sharing stories and information. Sadly, it was too stormy for us to meet the horses in the morning as planned, but we definitely hope to go back.

I love this campsite

Camping on Morgan’s lot was the best camping experience I’ve ever had. He came over to our camping group when we arrived and told us about activities we could do nearby as well as gave us info about the history of building his house and his tree collection. I’ll be back!

Awesome Desert Camping

Awesome campsite situated right in a valley between two mountains. Friendly hosts that came down to make sure we were settled in and see if we needed anything. Crazy views of the night sky. Would recommend to anyone looking for an off the grid stay with amazing views.

Awesome Hidden Gem

Morgan offers something very hard to find when on the road: a slice of predictable peace and quiet in the desert. We booked a half an hour before arriving. He and his wife came right out to meet us and lead us to our site. They were very friendly, brought some firewood, and shared lots of great info about the history of the land. Open desert, nothing but mountains to see, clean and quiet. Awesome spot, would recommend 100%, easy to get our 23 foot trailer in and out. Rods were beautifully maintained. I wish I had planned for More time here!
