Camp in the country with beautiful sunsets, sunrises, and night sky. A & M Ranch (40 acres) is located 10 min north of Fresno and near Hwy 41 which leads to the mountains. Many travelers stop here on their way to the national parks (Yosemite, Kings Canyon, Sequoia). We are also close to hiking trails, lakes, Sierra mountains, wineries, farmers' markets, and casinos. When you arrive, you will see our four alpacas in their pen, a mini donkey, two Nigerian dwarf goats, and maybe a few cats. We have designated spots for Tent camping, although if you'd like another spot let us know. Each site is listed separately. We are listed on other platforms, so there may be other guests here. Marta also has a shop if you are interested in refurbished items or alpaca products. We are not a day camp, so if you stay a few nights, we expect you to be out most of the day. You may hear coyotes at night, and see lots of squirrels and wild bunnies. Be careful of squirrel holes. *** If we do not respond right away and give approval, it is because sometimes our schedule changes. We usually respond WITHIN the week of your stay. We generally do not accept reservations more than 3 months ahead of time. Since we also travel, sometime we have unexpected family visits.

Weekend Trip to Madera,CA Countryside Ranch Camping

We arrived late and Arnold still greeted us and helped us settle in! This was the perfect stop on our way into Yosemite the next day. There was a bathroom to freshen up, and the site was level and easy to maneuver around. Nice spot and kind hosts. Thanks!

Weekend Trip to Madera,CA Countryside Ranch Camping

Really friendly host, beautiful spot and our son had a wonderful time looking at the animals. It was a great stop off en route to Yosemite. There were lots of options for parking spots and everything was super clean.
