Nouae's campsite offers a mix of rustic charm and farm life with the convenience of modern amenities. Campers appreciate the spacious sites with picnic tables, fire pits, and clean bathrooms. The open fields provide beautiful views of the night sky, and the presence of farm animals adds to the unique experience. However, some visitors noted the noise from passing trains and roosters, which might be a consideration for light sleepers.

Tent camping in Dixon
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!!!

Camping under the stars. AWESOME!
Daughter was headed home from Bodega Bay and stumbled upon this place because we wanted one more night of camping before home. We loved the open grass feel and dark skyline. Stars were amazing and it had a cool vibe with the trains going by at night. It didn't bother us one bit. It actually felt like we were watching something from YouTube. Definitely be back!

Wonderful stay at Once Upon a Ranch
We had a great time camping at Once Upon a Ranch! The host was incredibly welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed—truly top-notch hospitality. The campsite itself is huge, with plenty of open space to spread out and relax. It felt peaceful and private, with a beautiful ranch vibe. There’s a flushable bathroom nearby the site, which was a nice surprise for a more rustic site. They also provide a picnic bench, which came in handy for meals and hanging out. One of the highlights was getting to see all the farm animals! They have a cow, sheep, pigs, a turkey, ducks, and lots of chickens that roam freely but stay in their area. It really added to the charm of the experience and was especially fun for animal lovers. A couple of things to note: it can be a bit noisy at night, with trains passing by and honking, plus the occasional barking from neighboring dogs or early morning chicken chatter. It didn’t bother us too much, but light sleepers might want to bring earplugs. Pro tip: Bring a canopy because there’s not much shade from the sun since it’s open land. Bring your own drinking water. The water on site is unfiltered groundwater used for irrigation, so it’s not meant for drinking. Overall, this is a great spot for anyone who loves open space, a farm setting, and warm host vibes. We’d definitely come back!

This land is a real farm, lots of animal noises, early until late, so if you’re okay with real country living, it is great. I was the only camper, in February, and enjoyed the experience. Nouae had nice firewood too.

Very noisy!
If you’re looking for a quiet respite along your journey — this is NOT it! the folks were very nice, but unfortunately there is an extremely loud train that runs all hours of the night right along the edge of the property. and there’s also at least 50 chickens that will start screaming far before dawn.
