Caballo Loco Ranch and RV Park

With sites ranging from full hookups to dry camping spots, Caballo Loco Ranch and RV Park sits in desert foothills accessible via 7.9 miles of washboard dirt road from the nearest paved highway. The private campground charges $18-$30 per night and accepts reservations, though walk-ins can often find space. Cell service runs weak across most carriers.

The terrain rolls through ridges and steep sections rather than offering flat, level sites. A large ranch generator operates daily from 6am to 10pm. "Community center, trash dumpsters, washroom showers, central fresh water spigots for the dry campers," describes Greg L., noting the mix of amenities available. Many visitors return seasonally, creating an established community of long-term campers.

Recent reviews highlight inconsistent maintenance and cleanliness issues, with some campers reporting problems with unleashed dogs and waste management around common areas. The remote location requires self-sufficiency, as the dusty access road discourages frequent trips to town for supplies or services.

Campers seeking easier access might consider Happy Camper Campground & Homestead to the north, which offers paved road access and different amenities.

Remote desert location with recent management changes showing some improvement. Serious concerns about pet safety, cleanliness, and past management conflicts, though new leadership appears more responsive.

Beautiful views from the remote wilderness

I have lived here for 10 months now, and love the place. Like any campground, there are malcontents that will complain about little things like not being pampered or catered to. The reality is that this is a relatively remote place where you absolutely must be self-sufficient to a large degree. There has not been full-time management until recently, but the new management team are very attentive and reasonable. Since the ranch has been under new management many of the so-called bad influences have left. If you love natural beauty, privacy, and solitude, and are willing to make some sacrifices of comfort, this is the perfect place.

Very disorganized and people and volunteers there aren't very nice

 Upon entering it was dirty and restrooms not clean. I never received info they claimed was sent, so went on a hunch. It was dirty, dogs off leash and poop everywhere. Trash disposal area was unclean attracting insects and bugs and wildlife. People living there were not nice or clean. Staff was not friendly either. We decided to leave early. Found place 20 miles away that is wonderful by comparison. Advise trying elsewhere.

Wolf's in sheep's clothing, Beware

Place is a nightmare. Have police report from requiring police to escort due to harassment from disturbed owners. Dog was bitten by pit bull, owner did nothing but blame me and call me mentally ill. Very sick thing. Horrible road, brown water and a homeless camp setting. Go for a drive through first. And rules aren't followed. Owners Michelle and Jim even harassed the police officer, which caused me to make multiple trips to Colorado to leave. I walked away from a home, ATV and 5th wheel just to get away from these people. It's like hell on earth with demonic people.... Good luck should you go, you'll need it. Owner also posted a response comment with lies calling me names etc. These are sick evil people who will harm you, caution. Check police report from April 17th with sheriff dept.

Dirty wolf's in sheep's clothing

 Beware, it's foul in every way. People 55 plus still drugging and drinking. Dog poop all over, dogs not following rules and many pit bulls (my dog bite by pit bull) owner refused to help causing my move by police escort. It's a complete nightmare you'll become trapped in.. many better places close by. Picture is of my dog after going to vet in Colorado for dog bite. Owner uses the attackers owner to baby sit his dogs, so he defended her! Imagine that. Owner harassing caused police escort to move, he harassed cop too. A very sick and sad pathetic place... Truth stings sometimes.. sorry to be negative, but if it saves kind folks time and money I'm okay with it.

RV locos in the boonies!

Interesting RV park in some rugged desert foothills. Daily, weekly, monthly and yearly spots. Some are full hookups, some are dry camping. Community center, trash dumpsters, washroom showers, central fresh water spigots for the dry campers. Seems to be an interesting community of folks that return year after year. Staff was very friendly even to those that showed up without a reservation or prior notice. They found us a spot for a couple nites per our needs. Cell signal is poor for TMobile and Verizon, slightly better with ATT. RV area is rolling ridges and steep sections, this is not a flat RV park. The access road from paved hwy was 7.9 miles of washboard sandy dusty dirt so be warned. Additional thoughts are that the short-term options are limited, there is a very large ranch generator that runs 6am to 10 pm every day, and did I mention the 8 mi of dusty washboard sandy road makes quick trips to town uninviting. Hence the 4 stars.
