Nice place, calm and relaxing. Site 4 had no seating, so bring chairs and canopy for shade. Train track nearby - was beautiful to watch the trains go in the night. Clean toilet.

Nouae was very nice and friendly, he had a nice quiet spot for us set up. He gave us some fire wood as well which was nice to sit around and stargaze. It’s a farm set up so has some animals, some will walk around you which is pretty neat. 10/10 would recommend to anyone that’s looking for a quick, safe, and quiet place to stay while on the road.

Ask if the fields are flooded
Site 7 - RV Dry Camping and Tent Campout
I can tell that this is a really great camp spot when it’s not wet. However, the valley has had so much rain that the only place for me to park was on the gravel driveway directly across from the main house. So I didn’t have much privacy and was a little surprised at that, but I was only there to sleep so it was no big deal to me. I would’ve preferred a discount.

We had a great time camping here and interacting with the farm animals. Lots of room to set up our tent and park at the site, and they supplied a picnic table and fire cage. We enjoyed seeing and hearing the trains go by and the roosters crowing (may be too loud for some). Hosts were friendly and helpful.

Site 7 - RV Dry Camping and Tent Campout
This was a perfect camping spot for my overnights in the area - it was safe, good directions, clean, quiet (except for the sweet roosters and nearby train, which were not bothersome at all!) and pleasant with a nice sunrise view. It was an added bonus to have access to a real toilet with running water. I myself was super happy to be the only one there and to be able to walk my dogs about and to not have to share the (large) open space with anyone else! I would stay here again (and plan to if possible) in a heartbeat.

Site 5 - RV Dry Camping and Tent Campout
I loved getting to spend two nights on the ranch! The ranch has sheep, goats, a dog, chickens and turkeys and a railroad track, lots of fun. Not the most quiet, and its kinda dusty, very hot in the midday during summer with not a ton of shade and windy especially at night , but if you're ok with these things its perfect. Nice cute clean bathroom to use. Looked at the stars. Private, but not isolated (which is preferred for a solo fem camper)

Felt like the photos oversold this place. It’s basically a dry, dust bowl with some fire pits on it. No soft grass or anywhere I would want to set up my tent for a comfy camp out. Host was nice enough but this is bare bones dirt, some bushes, thorns, and rocks

The ranch atmosphere was nice. I appreciate what they are trying to do and opening up their place for strangers. But I found a lot of scrap metal in the area I parked, it was down a very unpleasant road where I was followed at one point ( just wanted to note) also the ranch was beautiful at night besides the party going on, on a nearby property that was pretty loud.

Review for Once Upon A Ranch – 3/5
Tent · With kids ·
Site 8 - RV Dry Camping and Tent Campout
We recently stayed at Once Upon A Ranch and found the experience to be okay, but it didn’t quite deliver the relaxing camping vibe we were hoping for. The campsites themselves were decently sized and had potential, but the grounds felt a bit unkept. There were a lot of weeds and the grass was rough, dry, and overgrown in areas, which made it less comfortable for camping or even just hanging out around the site. The biggest downside, though, was the noise. Reggaetón music and loud partying from a nearby house carried on until 3:00am, which really took away from the peaceful, nature-oriented atmosphere we were expecting. We didn’t get any sleep and contemplated leaving during the night. If you’re looking for a quiet retreat under the stars, this may not be the best fit. The host was nice and the train tracks behind can be a nice touch. But should be considered by potential campers as it passes roughly every 30 minutes into the night and can be rather loud. We personally liked watching the train pass. Although, if you are looking for peace and quiet this may not be the right site for you. Overall, the location and setup have potential, but a little more maintenance and better noise control would go a long way toward making this a more enjoyable and relaxing destination.

Tent camped for one night on Nouae’s land. He was such a nice, welcoming person. We got there late around 11:00 pm and had no problem finding our spot thanks to the wide stretch of outdoor lights and the thoughtful navigation we received from the host. We enjoyed hearing the train in the distance. Seeing the train pass by in the morning was very serene. Roosters woke us up, but we liked hearing them. Bathroom was super accessible and close. 10/10 would recommend this spot and would totally stay again!!!
