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.We are close to the Vale, Oregon, exit on I-84 and Highway 201. The Ontario exits are nearby and provide shopping and eating options. The day-use campground is 10 minutes from us.
The spots to camp are by the creek (access through the lower field), in the Lower field, or in the backyard area near the house. Near the lower field, off the paved long driveway, is an area where you can park a long trailer.
Come enjoy camping like it was meant to be, quiet and part of the land. We want to provide a quiet option for campers other than crowded campgrounds with other people. Groups of people are welcome as long as they are all together. On our property, you will have only your group of campers. That could be two people in a car driving through, or a family or church group gathering. The additional guest fee is an additional tent/RV fee. The only way to ensure one group of people who know each other is to make one spot and add tents or additional RVs as additional guests. Does not matter how many are in the tent or RV. Only the structure is charged for. Cars only count if they’re what you're sleeping in. Add additional structures in the extra tab instead of adding additional guests.
