Hosted by Ariana M.

Our private ranch is one of the last working horse and sheep ranch on the coast, with well established edible, ornamental and medicinal plant gardens complete with hummingbirds and butterflies. We offer additional garden tours, wild plant identification, forest bathing, sheep and horse tours and Equine Guided Coaching services for an additional cost and depending on availability. Depending on time of year, we can offer a basket of fresh fruits & Veggies, 100% grass fed lamb and sparkling cider for an extra cost. We are down a very private lane surrounded by large ranches like ours and only a bit over a mile to the ocean as the crow flies. We are especially lucky to be in the organic, sustainable food movement of Sonoma and Marin County. You can venture out to the Bodega Bay beaches, Sebastopol and Sonoma wine tasting, historic Occidental, the redwoods at Armstrong woods in Guerneville, Osmosis enzyme baths in Freestone, the Barlow in Sebastopol for a unique local shopping adventure, grab some oysters on your way in, or head down to Pt. Reyes for the day. All less than an hour from the ranch.

Old Homestead Camp

The camp site was great! The site directly at the end of the road offered a bit more privacy and is able to fit a number of tents.

Old Homestead Camp

Perfect location close to town that has a grocery store and great bakery. Quarter mile from coastal access with breathtaking views. We saw lots of whales and sea lions! Stars are incredible at night. I would definitely come back!

Old Homestead Camp

Casari Ranch was beautiful and conveniently located. The grounds were clean and clearly marked. Great camping experience overall. I would say that the directions could be a little clearer.

Old Homestead Camp

Very misleading Best to Avoid

The camp site was simply bare land. No animals, no trail to take a wake, no friendly owner or feeling of being on a well kept ranch. Pictures and reviews from 2016 are misleading and it is soooo overpriced. Our site has no fire pit, no picnic table or woods. While Point Arena is a lovely place I would never ever recommend this site to others. Hipcamp should show the MOST RECENT REVIEWS AT THE TOP to better inform the users. This is a bad business practice to mislead people with false advertisement. Campers at other sites we met were equally unhappy.

Old Homestead Camp

A very basic and expensive option.

The site is nothing as advertised. No animals, no amenities, no check-in, quite misleading.

Old Homestead Camp

Just quiet meadow, not a homestead

Parts of the ranch have been sold, so don’t expect a farm feeling like the pictures and description suggests. Highlighted reviews are from 2016, when the farm was still in full swing. I was happy to pay the premium to experience farm camping and got the kids excited about it - so this left me slightly disappointed. Ariana didn’t respond to SMS for clarification. Updating the listing and prices would solve most of this. The pasture if serene, has beautiful sunsets and is nicely protected from the wind (at least our spot, but some are more exposed). We had cows in the distance and Point Arena is a picturesque costal hippie town where we found a hidden gem every day.
