We had a GREAT one night stay at Black Mountain Llama Farm. Doug was fun to talk to and learn about the animals and farm from. The tent was comfortable and very spacious and had everything we needed. The bathroom and outdoor kitchen area as well as patio with fire pit were setup perfectly and a nice outdoor space to utilize. See all the animals up close (especially the llamas and donkey) were highlights of our stay. Downtown Ramona was just a short drive away to checkout local spots. Leaving with fresh eggs and a vacuum sealed chicken made for great meals once we got home. Will definitely be coming back.

What a FUN & unique experience. The glamping tent was cozy & the host was friendly and helpful. We loved seeing the llamas, turkeys, peacocks, & chickens. And the donkey Jackson was the icing on the cake. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Douglas was a phenomenal host. Our troop had a blast it was our first camping trip and they loved the farm atmosphere. Doug also gave a tour and the girls were able to have a hands on experience with goats, llamas and chickens. He was friendly and extremely informative about his animals. This farm is his passion and you can feel his appreciation and love.

Doug was super accommodating and kind. Made us coffee in the morning and brought us some snacks. We wish we could have stayed longer

When we were pullimg up to the area it was very scenic and you see the llamas right away. Douglas was there with his donkey. He greeted us, and pointed us to our campsite. Gave us some time to settle in before meeting us. once settled in, he came by and gave us a grand tour of the place. introduced us to all the farm animals. and let us hang out with the llamas before heading back. Our Hut/Teepee was nicely furnished, fully working grill outside, with a full bathroom set up. ease of access to everything. our stay was a nice little getaway. they had 2 farm cats (callie & domino) that would stop by the camp throughout our trip. they wanted lots of love, as well as the goats & donkey. our last morning Douglas took us on a walk with the llamas, its like walking a really big dog. the whole experience was really amazind exactly what i needed. Douglas was an amazing host, he's created the perfect little camp. I definitely recommend choosing to stay at this llama farm.

We can't say enough good things about this place and our spectacular host Doug!
This is a wonderfully rural & rustic glamp-site that provided us both a sample of the authentic farm life experience, and some creature comforts like hot showers, a fridge w/ a freezer to store our ice cream, and two cozy beds in the dome tent. Waking up and going to greet the llamas, chickens, ducks, and turkeys after making our morning coffees was such a special way to start the day. This spot is also conveniently located just a couple minutes outside of downtown Ramona, and not far from some amazing hiking. At less than an hour from San Diego, this place is a must for anyone who wants a break from the city + a breath of fresh countryside air. We LOVED it and will definitely be back!

Our family loved staying at Douglas's farm! It had everything we needed for a getaway with a toddler - a bed, hot shower, indoor toilet and a BBQ set up with all necessities. We did not have to bring our usual camping gear with us with an exception of sleeping bags. Most importantly, we could hang out with llamas, hens, turkeys, an occasional gopher and some squirrels. It was fun and educational. Douglas and Michelle were so down to earth, welcoming and ready to show around their farm. When we got home, next morning our daughter asked us to call Douglas, when asked why, she said she wanted to tell him that she loved him :) It was really great to get away from the city and reconnect to nature, and when you want - a winery is just around the corner.

The tent was amazing. I am normally very cold at night during springtime weather, but I stayed warm in bed. The accommodations were GREAT. Doug was very friendly.

Please keep in mind Doug's place is a working farm but what a COOL working farm it is!!
We arrived later than expected due to traffic but Doug met us anyway to go over a few quick things. He had already told us he had a commitment in the morning but said he could give us a tour of the farm at 8am or again at 10:30am.
In fact, we got two tours with the second one being an opportunity to walk the llamas. Doug told us he sometimes takes them to weddings for the bride and groom to hold and walk them (for a price) but we got to do it for free and in fact Doug kept telling us it was so great we were doing him and the llamas a service by letting them be with different people.
The accommodations were fun in a big tent with loads of space. His new bathroom shed was superb with a warm shower. The outdoor kitchen area was well stocked - fun to cook outside.
I would strongly recommend to travelers from afar (we're from Vermont) or from California city dwellers who want to escape for a day or two.

We had an amazing stay on this llama farm with Douglas and his wife Michelle. They also have chickens and turkeys and a wealth of knowledge to share about farming. The amenities were more than we were expecting which was a nice glamping treat. The canvas tent is enormous and the bed was more comfortable than ours at home. Our kids set up their own tent as well as hammocks under the amazing shade canopy. Even though daytime temps were over 90 degrees there was morning / evening shade and a lovely breeze, it never felt too hot. We spent the day at Julian which is a short drive and a super fun town for food, desserts, and shopping. When the weather is cooler Anza Borrego State Park is close for hiking and exploring, as is William Heise County Park and Lake Cuyamaca. The llamas were super sweet and fun to watch, and Douglas made sure we were able to interact with them. He also provided corn hole and a fire pit which kept us happy after dark. We highly recommend a stay if you're looking for something unique!

Let me start by saying Michelle is the kindest most genuine human being you could ever cross paths with. I wanted an alternative to a hotel and was given an experience my 5 year old nor myself will ever forget. This is a place that provides a true escape from the everyday routines we can find ourselves in. If you are looking to exchange a TV remote for a memory look no further. My son can’t stop talking and telling everyone in earshot about it and that speaks volumes about what this meant to him. Thank you for everything!
