Run by three generations, our ranch has been in our family for more than 70 years. We opened our doors to the public in 2014 to help support feeding our animals, bred and rescued, after the Powerhouse Fire almost burned us out. We’ve survived a county quarantine(2018-2019), the COVID Lockdowns (2021-2022), the Lake Fire (2020), and the Hurricane Kay burn scar debris flow and flood (9/11/22), depending on hard work and strong family and community bonds. In addition to camping and educational tours, we host private and community events, grow and sell produce and eggs, hatch and sell chicks, rescue ratites, and support the local bee population (which gives us RAW honey to sell), and are working to open a private U-pick-by-appointment orchard. We are all animal lovers, and conservationists, and try to do our part to ensure our children inherit a healthy and viable world. This is our home where we live, work, love, and play. We enjoy sharing our space with visitors who we hope learn about ostrich and make some great memories.

This was a fantastic spot! The area was maintained, bathroom was a plus, the bbq grill and fire pit was amazing. Jessica was very helpful and responsive. Thank you! As my 3 year old son said, “let’s go back here mama!” We will be back!

Quail Run served the purpose of a place to park our van overnight, it had a flushing toilet and cold running water. RV spots were not clearly marked and there was random trash left behind that I would had preferred not seeing. The ostrich were cool and the goats were entertaining and for their sake I’d love to see this hip camp do well…

Tent Camp @ Working Ostrich Ranch

A gem of a place off the beaten path, yet not so far from I-5 to impact travels N/S. I found this place at the last minute, needing a place to stay for the night. I ended up staying 2 nights just to savor my time there. I went on tour of the farm and learned all about the largest “bird” on the planet — the ostrich. They’re beautiful, and one of the roosters (males) kept doing what appeared to be a dance, displaying its gorgeous feathers. This is a working ostrich farm and Lou, my guide has a deep, rich knowledge which he gladly shared. The property has several good-sized camp areas, an outdoor communal area w/fire pit, grill, a sweet private garden and so much more, all nestled in a green canyon. The hosts were very responsive, accessible and gave clear instructions. I would highly recommend and definitely stay here again. Loved it, thank you!

Very friendly host. Everything was very easy. I never saw an ostrich in person (or heard them) and that was really a fun experience. I definitely recommend reading instructions because they talk about keeping distance and not walking in the area (very important if you have kids that might wander around). It looks like a really great place for groups. They got swings, BBQ, and even a stage! Also, bathrooms were clean and well maintained.
