Saddle Vista Ranch

We couldn’t say enough about this property. From the very BIG space (our big rig is 44 ft and our truck is a 2500 Sierra. Lots of space. Cheap dumping. Potable water. Dumpsters. Animals (turtles, cow, doggo, bees chickens) Little market with feed, baby turtles inside, his local honey. The owner was so friendly and kind. His land is vast and open. He does rv storage long term and short any sized rig. Close to lots of amazing free blm land and hiking ! Definitely coming back here for stops! Also 7 mins from truck stop with big rig friendly gas pull ups

As of the first week of February, 2020: DO NOT type the street address into Google Maps, use the GPS coordinates in the Campendium header. Turn in at the driveway by the Saddle Vista Ranch sign. Drive straight back and stop beside the small nursery and feed store. The cost for water and dump depends on the size of your rig. For a fee, there is trash disposal. In the little feed store, we also bought fly paper and fresh duck eggs. As another reviewer commented, you can use the ranch address for packages - make arrangements with the owner - at no cost.

The owner is a nice guy, Dave, who is just trying to spread some good karma and make a buck here and there. Unfortunately, the giant, industrial egg farm, Hickman's, is immediately behind his property. Dave showed us the tiny house he is building for himself and invited us to pick up and pet the baby ducks and chicks under the incubator. This is the kind of small business we love to happen upon and support.

Access (to here and the BLM) coming from the west on I-10, Google Maps told me to get off at exit 81. Just at the left turn onto W Salome the sign said "paved road ends". I wasn't into that so I went to the next exit 94. After turning south on 411th Ave, Google Maps keep telling me to turn onto completely unmarked dirt roads to nowhere. I continued to W Salome, hung a right and saw the sign for the ranch on the right but no sign of RVs or dump, etc. I had enough water for my overnight at the BLM so on the return the next morning I turned at the sign and headed down the dirt driveway. Dave waved me in and showed me where to turn for the dump station (first right and first left in the back) and then loop back to the driveway for a freshwater fill (hose in the garden). He was flexible about the water price, basing it on the amount of water. We landed on $5 for about 20 gallons. He reminded me of his other services - laundry, receive shipments, and who knows what else. I'm sure he'd try to help out however he could if you needed something.
