We are a 4-generation family-owned and operated working farm, and have lived here since 1976. We are proud growers for Diamond Walnuts, and also have a busy Farm Stand with walnuts and produce, over 500 Christmas Trees, and a small event venue for rent. We love our farm and are happy to open our walnut grove to you and share the bounty and beauty that we have called home for over four decades. Ballard is 2 miles from Solvang, Los Olivos, and Santa Ynez. Our Walnut Grove is nestled in the village of Ballard and in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley. Walking distance to two Tasting Rooms (Rideau & Lincourt), a Bakery (Bob's Well Bread), and a Fine-Dining Restaurant (Ballard Inn). Note that the trees lose their leaves in the winter and will leaf-out in late May. We offer 2 sites the Grove: one that accommodates larger RV's with up to 6 people (called "Diamond" - which has a larger area with soft solar lighting, picnic table, fire pit, corn hole, cozy bench for two, complimentary bundle of wood and a tasty treat. (This site also accommodates two RV's -just "add on" in Extras for each night of their stay.) The other smaller space (called "Chandler") is designed for a single RV or conversion van. Sprinkled with lighting, we include a picnic table, campfire pit with 3-4 pieces of split wood (you can add-on additional bundle for $10), Weber BBQ, bistro table and romantic bench swing. We include a treat for both our guests and their doggies. The two sites are 200 yards apart (that's two football fields) assuring your privacy. Please note in your request what you will be traveling in (RV, Trailer, Sprinter, etc). (** Please note that because we are a food-producing farm, we are only allowed to accept fully self-contained units (with built-in water and waste water tanks - sorry, no portable toilets ). No tents unless they are accompanying a self contained RV).

Perfect weekend getaway
We were so lucky to have found this hidden gem in Solvang/Los Olivos! Place was quiet, peaceful, clean and well-maintained. It felt like we had the whole orchard all to ourselves and we never felt unsafe. We’ll definitely be staying there again!

Great Private Place!
We really enjoyed how private and peaceful the camp site was. Your surrounded by beautiful Walnut and Christmas trees. Our daughters loved exploring and watching wildlife. Mike and Anne really care about their campers and go above and beyond to make sure your stay is memorable.

"Chandler" (for Smaller RV's)
Beautiful property! Loved camping in the walnut grove. Great alternative to a busy lake Cachuma campground. Very conveniently located too. Loved the site and the accommodations!

We stopped over here for a night on our way to Big Sur. The area is beautiful and the campsite was perfect. We really enjoyed our stay and will stay here again. The walnuts were delicious too!
