Hello. My name is Tamara and my husband is Andy. We bought this place in 2022 with the goal of raising animals humanely and providing good food options to purchase at reasonable prices. After moving to Ontario I noticed there are not many good options for nighttime sleep. I fondly remember camping with our kids in a location we named Neverland. We decided we wanted to create that for people. That’s why we joined Hipcamp. We have several sites that range from close to the house and bathroom access to remote in a field with the sounds of the creek to lull you to sleep. To increase safety and aid in positive memory making, only one group is allowed at a time. We have lots of space so whether you are a lone traveler, a family, or a group of friends looking to make memories consider staying with us and our animals. We generally have goats, chickens, and pigs. From July to October we have pheasants. Oh, and we have Cheese, our patrol duck, who wanders and keeps an eye on everything. He loves treats. Look us up on Facebook under Micone Ranch.
Our driveway is immediately off Ontario Heights Rd. Google tells people to turn on Grand View Lane. There is no access to our property from that direction. We have a 300-gallon trash bin next to our mailbox that says camp host. Our driveway is immediately across the road from there. The bridge at the entrance to our property is 11' wide, which should allow a standard 8' RV to pass into the property. RV hook up is right off the driveway by the power pole. Ground is in its native form and only gets minimal rain. Some weeds and goatheads may be present.
A small, creek runs through the front of the property year-round. Water is clearer during the winter and spring months. The spots I have cleared in this area are small. I recommend tent camping in this area. It is densely wooded. We have goats in this field; they are shy. We have goat treats available for sale if you would like to feed them.
Oregon has an invasive, poisonous weed called Water hemlock. If you camp in this area, familiarize yourself with this plant so you can avoid it. Camping areas have been cleared of this plant. If you wander along the creek, you will encounter it.

Tamara was gracious host. When we called her to let her know that we arrived she gave us a few options to where to set up. We were there for only one night and it was not far off from I-84. The site was excellent and very quiet surroundings. Her goats kept us amused.

The host was very friendly. They have dogs that they're trying to train to not come to campers but the dogs are friendly. The goats weren't too noisy in the night. Having the use of an indoor bathroom was delightful! And it was not hard to find. It doesn't have real level spaces if you're in a big camper though.

I was using the spot with Electricity. Nice open Area. She also has a Floodlight right there, which for me, was nice. There's a Travel Center, pretty close, for drinks, Ice, and Food. Thanks for the Squash, and my Apologies again for almost running over your Plum Tree. Peaceful Stay.

Outstanding views in all directions, and a friendly, informative host in Meredith. If you’re dry/tent camping (we were in a rooftop tent on our truck), be advised there is no shade. Keep in mind that the site is a working ranch, so their work is ongoing throughout the day. We would stay again.

The farm is very rustic but delightful. Tamera the owner is fixing it up quite cute. with fruit trees and animals. The backyard is green and shady from the big old trees that surround it. Parking our camp trailer in the backyard shade by the irrigation ditch was great, and my granddaughters and dog loved cooling off in the water on a hot July afternoon. The goats were funny to watch in the morning, and the kids enjoyed meeting the pigs and holding baby pheasants. We bought some pork sausage from Tamera for our breakfast. I will return someday to see how the farm is progressing. Thank you Tamera, we enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful, quiet location with very friendly & responsive hosts. They even waited up late for us to get there and were incredibly patient when we drove into the wrong area. We woke up to soft clucking of chickens and goats right out of our window! It was so nice to roll in and have fresh hamburger and eggs waiting for us by the hosts. Very happy!

I needed a place to park my trailer after a long day of driving preferably with electric hook up. This spot was perfect. Right off freeway. A little bit of afternoon shade and quiet. Good communication and friendly.

Great for small groups. Easy access to the bathroom and shower. Goats were friendly and enjoyed feeding time, though the babies had other interests. Being a ranch, flies are ever present, I would highly recommend an electronic fly scatter for tent camping. The pigs and chickens stayed pretty quiet, and their duck was constantly patrolling the property. If I pass through again I'll definitely stay here if its available.

Wir haben die Ranch gut gefunden. Die Zufahrt war für unseren großen Camper eine Herausforderung, die wir aber gut gemeistert haben. Der Stellplatz war oberhalb des Hauses. Anfangs war noch die Autobahn gut zu hören. Tamara war eine sehr nette Gastgeberin.

Great place to camp! It was so wonderful to see all the birds (red wing black birds, quails, magpie, etc) in such a comfortable space. Tamara was so responsive to messages, kind and communicative. I truly appreciate her opening her space to us, as well as the chats. Feeding the goats and saying hello to all the animals was such a joy. Hello, Cheese (the duck)!
The flush toilet is only available when the hosts are home, since (currently), it leads into their house. I know Tamara said that is something they plan on improving in the future, so this may be out of date quickly! The shower is supplied with towels, soap and hair wash.
Would absolutely recommend!!
