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.
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.
Stayed here overnight. The host was very accommodating especially since I bumped into some unexpected road closures and arrived later than expected. It was a very peaceful night and I woke up to some adorable looking ostriches strutting around. Quite a sight to see. Would recommend! ❤️
Me and my sister stayed here together for a night! It’s super different and something we would’ve never done! The campsite could’ve had maybe a bit more for shade, there was one big tree for shade. There are a few picnic tables to put your stuff on, it would be nice if they were spread out a little to feel like you have more privacy! The common area could be cleaned up a lot and there’s random pieces of pipes and construction pieces all over. We took the ostrich tour and Lou is a great guide, knows everything about animals and his ostrich’s! We bought their local honey, and they also sell the ostrich eggs!
We had a great time at Quail Run. My wife took the tour with Lou. He was very informative and funny. Camping is basic, they supply you with the land to park your RV or a spot to pitch your tent. Restrooms are near camp spots and picnic tables are available. We had the place to ourselves, it was quiet and we had the benefit of a full moon 🌕. If your looking for a place to camp with added attraction of being near 20 or so ostrich, this is the place for you.
amazing stay, super interesting tour of the ranch, such a pretty area, only complaint is lots of bugs at campsite area, flies, wasps, etc that were a little irritating during the day. would recommend a bug zapper type of thing
