Goat farm for a small RV

The goat farm was awesome! Very comfortable spot at a distance from the main house but close to the goats and the donkey. The pigs are very excited about the idea that you might be coming to give them food. The donkey brays mournfully at seemingly random times and enjoys gentle scratches and carrots. Patricia is super friendly and helpful and easy-going.

super friendly awesome place

My teenage son and I had a nice stay here in our camper van. Patricia is a kind and interesting person, we enjoyed talking to her. The farm animals are entertaining for a bit, but there is not much to do on the property beyond that, we read and played cards. But mostly we used this as a base camp and ventured out to visit neighboring towns and hike in the redwood trees.
What this place is: a safe, flat place to park for the night. It’s reasonably quiet, although the parking spot is in the middle of the driveway so any cars coming and going will pass by you. (This includes workers as early as 7:00 or as late as 10pm in our experience).
What this place is not: a verdant and bucolic farm, with plenty to do and see. I don’t intend that as a slight, just being realistic. There are a lot of tall weeds and old yard stuff scattered about, and of course an old farm would not be complete without a board with rusty nails pointed straight up, so keep an eye on any little ones. There is a porta-potty in a corner, they are all a bit scary imho, this one is no different. Non-potable water is right at the sight and regular water can be had at the house on top of the hill should you need it. Anyhow, would I go back? No. Would I recommend it? Definitely not for a romantic outing, but for sure fun can be had there, and it’s a safe spot to park for a night. And the host and her dog are lovely! As well the baby goats are adorable, the love to jump about a lot!!

We needed a place to land with our new (to us) trailer, where we felt safe leaving it for a good part of a weekend as we had a family wedding and extra gatherings to attend. We also wanted to be close to Point Reyes and other areas on the coast the check out. Patricia's place is in the heart of the country side. So peaceful and quiet with beautiful views and also lots of fun things to see! - like goats, sheep, pigs, chickens and a donkey (just to name a few), and of course Annie, the hard working ranch guard dog! Patty is very nice and interesting! She came down when we arrived and brought some goat cheese with accompaniments to try. We had great conversations about so many things ! Annie also greeted us and is an total sweetheart of a dog. She never bothered us with barking the entire weekend. Our trailer did not fit under the overhang but that was fine. We had plenty of room right next to it. We had electric to hook up to. She had potable water available outside, so we filled up some gallon jugs we had and filled the fresh tank with some. It's quite a steep hill to get to ranch, so we were glad we didn't fill up before - we didn't need any extra weight for that climb. There was a porta potty available for us, but we didn't use as we had our own. It was a beautiful space to be in, for a morning walk, for quiet nights to sleep, for interesting things to take photos of. We were very happy with our decision to book the goat farm. Thanks Patty!

We had a wonderful time in our campervan at Patricia's farm! Beautiful views and close to area attractions like beaches, hiking, and exploring western Sonoma county. Patricia was a great host, easy to communicate with and provided detailed info about the farm, animals, and local info. The camping setup is simple but had everything we needed (water, electric, porta potty).

So wonderful! Patty is the sweetest, so wonderful to talk with. She was so kind to our 3 year old and took time to show him the animals. Beautiful area, and lovely view.

Wonderful host, cute animals and lovely space for our Sprinter van. We’ll definitely be coming back.

Beautiful space on a lovely spacious farm. You truly have the space to yourself and Patricia is a sweet, gracious host. Great spot from which to explore the coast, Armstrong redwoods, etx.

*It is true that it's a functioning farm and there's a rooster so bring earplugs if you're a sensitive sleeper and don't wanna wake at dawn.

Beautiful hillside farm in an amazing part of the world. The goats, chickens and sheep were so much fun.
