The ranch atmosphere was nice. I appreciate what they are trying to do and opening up their place for strangers. But I found a lot of scrap metal in the area I parked, it was down a very unpleasant road where I was followed at one point ( just wanted to note) also the ranch was beautiful at night besides the party going on, on a nearby property that was pretty loud.
Felt like the photos oversold this place. It’s basically a dry, dust bowl with some fire pits on it. No soft grass or anywhere I would want to set up my tent for a comfy camp out. Host was nice enough but this is bare bones dirt, some bushes, thorns, and rocks
Nouae was great. Very nice, easy going, and accommodating. He gave us a tour of his land, and was more than ok with us roaming around free and checking out the animals. The site was perfect, bathroom was super clean. Would definitely come back.
I loved getting to spend two nights on the ranch! The ranch has sheep, goats, a dog, chickens and turkeys and a railroad track, lots of fun. Not the most quiet, and its kinda dusty, very hot in the midday during summer with not a ton of shade and windy especially at night , but if you're ok with these things its perfect. Nice cute clean bathroom to use. Looked at the stars. Private, but not isolated (which is preferred for a solo fem camper)
Super spacious sites, easy to find, great location if you want to be close to Sacramento, Davis, Vacaville.
