My family has owned the ranch since 1977. We bought it from my parents a few years ago to keep it in the family. We love living here, and although it is just the two of us working it, we are slowly getting it to what we want it to be. The house we live in is over 100 years old and used to be a stage coach stop back in the late 1800's to early 1900's, You can still see some of the old stage coach roads on the property, and we are trying to preserve those the best we can. Also in the early 1900's this ranch used to be the place to go on the fourth of July. People from all over would bring their prize horses to compete in a horse race for the name of the fastest horses around While others would bring picnic baskets to set back on the knoll in one of our fields to watch.

Beautiful and peaceful place to stay while visiting John Day Fossil beds. Hosts are super thoughtful and helpful. Would definitely return when visiting the area

Enjoyed the scenery, good level to set up the trailers. Purchased some hamburger that was raised on the ranch, and it was good.

It would be really helpful to have water AT the campsite and not just at the host's house. Also perhaps a PortaPotty that an be emptied and cleaned instead of an outhouse. More photos to show a realistic view of the actual area around the campsite.

Starry, starry nights!
Large sites with newly built outhouse and small sink shared with a couple of other sites. Quiet, remote area but not too far from Painted hills and town. Host was friendly when we had to stop at house to get more info on where the sites were located and kept things well stocked. If you want to see stars at night, this is your place!

I loved camping at Haystack Ranch, as the view was great, and there was plenty of room at our site. The toilet is an outhouse, with a hand-washing station. The host was very responsive to situations like toilet paper outage or empty water tank for the hand-washing station. I do wish a little more mowing had been done around the camp sites as tiny grass seeds were very poky in our socks.
