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 often have pheasants. This year we do not so I can do repairs to the small coop. 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. Our Facebook link is [xxxxxxxx]

The campsite offers a simple and welcoming spot for travelers, with easy access from the highway and no-fuss check-in. Guests appreciate the peaceful atmosphere, friendly hosts, and the unique experience of being near farm animals like goats and chickens. While some noted the presence of road noise, it didn't significantly detract from their stay. Facilities like the clean bathroom and shower are a hit, adding comfort to the camping experience.

Hosts were easy to communicate with and came out to greet me. I had a quiet evening at the farm and got a good night's sleep. And the parking was level (without me having to use my leveling blocks!). Great place for a stopover on the way through the area.

Tent

Everything was fine. There was plenty of room to pitch my tent, and I just have to learn about choosing a completely flat area. That's on me. I wasn't expecting the traffic noise – as the crow flies not terribly far from I-84 - but it didn't keep me awake. I would go there again, as it was very close to the reason I was in Ontario (SRCI).

Perfect for tent camping. Tamara was a wonderful host. Loved the goats, rainbow and sunset. Bathroom and shower were great. Clean and warm. We had an off-road trailer and it worked fine.

Amazing!!!

She’s just all around good people! Was in town for work. Not a whole lot of camping around. This place is absolutely amazing. Animals are wonderful. Literally as all the stuff, the bathroom fire pit. Even in the Smoke, I could tell how beautiful the views around it were. Had an amazing time and look forward to using this place as my camping spot every time I come to East Oregon.

Tamara was a warm host (even though we never met) she did reach out to me. I was running really late coming in on my motorcycle… but the description really helped and I set up near the creek. Regrets- never got to wander around and feed the animals :( Thanks for the hospitality Tamara. I’ll spread the good word!

We all loved this spot. With the crick behind camp drowning out some background noise, its was very peaceful. Make sure you park a tent under the trees or you'll be up with the sun, its gets hot this time of year. The host (Tamara) was very accommodating, meeting us at the spot when we arrived. Got us set up and left us alone. Couldn't ask for more from a host. Would def make it back for the next time im in the area. Cheaper and more private than a hotel.

Tamara is absolutely lovely! She stayed up late to meet us for our late arrival, and was very helpful with setting up camp. The electricity was easy to plug into. And we woke up to some cute goats grazing behind us! We also got a dozen eggs and can't wait to eat them! Absolutely would stay again!

Perfect

18 ft campervan · With pets

If you need a place that offers both solitude and hospitality, this is the place. We arrived via the John Day route, and even though the camp is near the interstate, you wouldn't know it. The host's husband Andy came out to greet us after making it through the gate and explained our options for setting up camp. A great flat spot is available near the house, so we chose that, and their goats wandered up on their side of the fence to watch us make dinner. The bathroom access was fantastic, not awkward like some other shared facilities we have had before. Met with Tammy/Tamara in the morning and bought both goat and ground beef. Have had the opportunity to enjoy both on the rest of our trip; delicious! You will be the only guests when you stay, which is a rare treat. Don't know when we will be back that way, but would stop again if we do!

Great Spot!

Tent

The terrific hosts only offer one at a times which is great so you have the whole place to yourself (with some friendly goat visits on occasion). You can choose from up on the hill or down by the creek, which I choose and which felt very private, had some tree shade cover, and I had some fair priced eggs and meat from this working farm. A thumbs up recommendation to stay here!
