Riley’s at Rancho Los Rios
Ready to rustle up an authentic chuckwagon dinner? About two hours south of Los Angeles lies the burg of Oak Glen. Situated on a mountain with one road going up and down, we wound back and forth until we landed at the Los Rios Rancho, home of the Riley family.
Every year the Riley family hosts a Chuckwagon dinner under the stars. We LOVE it because it’s more then dinner. It’s an experience and a glimpse into a time period and culture that is unique to our country, the cowboys of the 1800’s.
I could write novels but since pictures are worth a thousand words, I’ll let these photos do the talking…
10 Things to experience at the Chuckwagon Dinner
History is fun!!! And its best when it’s experienced together (and when there is coffee) which in this case, there is!!! Can’t wait for the next one! Wait, did I just hear the dinner bell?
This looks like such a great time, and a great learning experience too!
It is EXACTLY that and what we are all about!!!
Love how making memories was repeated – lol. What a fun night and my goodness those pictures are stunning. I’ve never been to a chuck wagon dinner, but you certainly piqued my interest!
ha! I am glad you caught that! I wasn’t sure if people would notice 🙂 Oh it’s a fabulous experience! Highly recommend!!
I agree, history can be fun especially with another.
Always! 🙂
Love Riley’s Chuck Wagon dinner show!
I’m sure my boys would love this!
Oh yeah! It’s the perfect activity for kids!
This looks so fun!!
And you can’t beat campfire cooking either!
My parents took me to a chuckwagon dinner in Colorado Springs when I was younger. I absolutely loved it! Now that I live here, we went to the Flying W Wranglers a few times, but then it burnt down with the Waldo Canyon fire. It was so sad. I’m hoping they open again because it is an awesome experience.
OH I hope so too!!!
What a fun activity and gets everyone outside and together. How was the food? I love these type of events.
I live for these type of events! LOL Food was pretty good. It isn’t 4 star steak but there is something uniquely awesome about food cooked over the campfire. You just can’t get that flavor any other way.
I absolutely love these kinds of fun outings! We went to a chuckwagon dinner once in South Dakota, and everyone in the fam had a blast! Thanks for sharing! Makes me wanna find something like this in our area here in Texas! 🙂
oh yeah! I bet there are some GREAT ones there!
This looks so fun! My two oldest boys did something like this in 4th grade for their field trip and it was so much fun to participate with them.
What a blast!! This look so much fun!! Love all the activities to keep the kids busy!!
This looks so fun and my 4 year old granddaughter would love it! I’m bookmarking for future reference. Thanks.

This looks like a great experience for worldschooling. I will have to check it out!
I would like to learn to throw a tomahawk. That would be awesome.
This is a neat activity. So fun!
This looks so fun! I need to find one near us!
This looks like a blast. Great photos.
How fun! Great looking family and really need things for kids to do. I am afraid we are losing our past!
