Great time in the Desert! - We drove down from Long Beach, CA, about 2 hrs. I brought tour for my son for his birthday. Something for the two of us to enjoy together. Stopped at a couple of casinos on the way in. Really windy. Surprised once we drove up to the camp, the wind was blocked. Perfect weather really. Not hot, nice breeze. The covered wagon tour was really interesting. Nice people, most on vacation from other states/countries, TX, IN, Mexico, Australia... After tour, we played cross-four and chatted. Country band played great tunes and mc's the evening. Dinner, delicious with tri tip and chicken, mashed potatoes, country beans, slaw and apple coubler with whipped cream for dessert. Very tastie!! Family owned operation. Everyone very nice and attentive. Highly recommend! Most visitorswere staying local, we came down and went home after event. 2-hrs. by CA standards isn't a big deal. Support this local small business. You'll be glad you did!😊 Thanks Bill and family for making us feel like family! 🐴🏜🏝🎯 We will do it again!

Fun Experience - What a wonderful time! The covered wagon ride takes you to an oasis/fault line area, where you can walk around and learn more about faults. The staff is so friendly, they even iced down our beer for us. Our original tour had to be rescheduled due to a heat advisory, but they were excellent at communicating the changes. Live entertainment featured Sandy, Christy & Tod filling the evening air with Country Music. They even taught some line dances. Food was great, too. A fun and memorable experience!

Dissappointed. - We were disappointed to say the least. The people were friendly enough and told us about the area, wildlife etc. but nothing like what we expected. The live music was average at best and the food palatable. For $132 each, it was overpriced in my opinion. Not one of my better tours. The sunset was pretty cool to see.
