Pets can be off-leash at this Hipcamp.

Our place is 28 acres. Do not drive into the upper field, there is a stop sign on that gate. It is irrigated, and you could get stuck and cause property damage. Our niche is that we only host one group of people at a time. Whether you are a solo camper or a group of 50, you will never have to compete for space with another group. This also allows for increased safety for single travelers and elderly. We are open year-round but make sure your tires can handle our terrain. Our driveway is immediately off Ontario Heights Rd. Google tells people to turn on Grand View Lane. Do not do this as there is no access to our property from that direction. We have a 300-gallon trash bin next to our mailbox that says camp host. Our driveway is immediately across the road from there. The gate is latched but not locked on the left side. Initial fee covers a spot for one sleeping structure. Add any additional tents/rv/vehicles used for sleeping. You can add extra sleeping structures under the extra tab. Included in options to buy is RV power hook up and EV overnight charging. A small somewhat muddy creek runs through the front of the property year-round. The water is clearer during the winter and spring months. Cleared spots in this area are small so only tent camping in this area is recommended. It is densely wooded. We have goats in this field, they are shy. Oregon has an invasive poisonous weed called Water hemlock. If you camp in this area, familiarize yourself with this plant so you can avoid it. Camping areas have been cleared of this plant but if you wander along the creek you will encounter it. Areas people have liked are up top by the top field gate, or down in the field that our large chicken coop is in. There are no animals in those areas, but chickens do make noises. Up top we have roosters that make noise about 5 am. The lower field on the right is the quietest. If you have children camping near the house is recommended. The bridge at the entrance to our property is 11' wide, which should allow a standard 8' RV to pass into the property. RV hook up is right off the driveway by the power pole. Ground is in its native form and only gets minimal rain. Some weeds and goatheads may be present. Look us up on Facebook under Micone Ranch.We are close to the Vale Oregon exit on I-84. We also are close to the Highway 201. The Ontario exits are near and provide shopping and eating options. Day use campground is 10 min from us. The spots to camp are by the creek (access through the lower field,) in the Lower field, or in the backyard area near the house. Near the lower field off the paved long driveway is an area you can park a long trailer. Come enjoy camping like it was meant to be quiet and part of the land. We want to provide a quiet option for campers other than crowded camp grounds with other people. Groups of people are welcome as long as they are all together. On our property you will have only your group of campers. That could be two people in a car driving through or a family or church group gathering. Additional guest fee is actually additional tent/rv fee. The only way to ensure one group of people who know each other was to make one spot and add tents or additional rv as an additional guest. Does not matter how many are in the tent or rv. Only the structure is charged for. Cars only count if it’s what you are sleeping in. Add additional structures in the extra tab instead of adding additional guests. Our Facebook link is https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100088332674738&mibextid=LQQJ4d

Micone Ranch is a delightful campsite that offers a serene escape with its charming farm atmosphere. Guests appreciate the warm hospitality of Tamara and her family, and many highlight the fun of interacting with the friendly animals, like goats, chickens, and ducks. The campsite is conveniently located, making it a great stopover spot, though some visitors have noted traffic noise from the nearby highway. While the ranch provides a unique camping experience with the added perk of fresh eggs, the terrain can be rough in some areas, and the in-house bathroom, though a bonus, might feel a bit intrusive for some.

Stay was good, and Tamera was very welcoming. My only issue was the goat heads were pretty bad for my dog. We were able to lay down some plywood so he could get in and out of the trailer. Easy in and out of the site with electricity.

Thank you! Peaceful and safe night

6 m Class B

I spent a peaceful night at Tamara’s, the location is accurate and I just parked in their front (before the gate to field). I actually like that is easy in and out, have street light (feel safe!) and very flat. Thanks for Tamara and her hubby’s accommodation I did enjoy the night a lot 😊

Tent · With pets

Thank you for sharing this lovely small farmstead with me. I enjoyed waking up to the rooster and your goats are too funny. The site was perfect for my setup and I am so glad to have the use of the In-House toilet. What a blessing. If I have any complaint at all, it was the farm light and I could have done a better job of blocking it... I just didn't want to go back out in the cold at night to do it. :)
