CAN I BRING HAY INTO CALIFORNIA?

In general, there are not specific restrictions on bringing hay into California; however, it must be free from noxious weeds and insect pests and is subject to inspection upon arrival at our border stations. If bringing hay, be sure it is loaded so the outer surface of the bales can be easily seen. Most hay passes inspection, but occasionally pests are found and the shipment is rejected. In this event, you may need to return the hay out-of-state if it cannot be easily disposed of at the station.

Late rains have made the mosquito population intense. The starlings are eating as fast as they can. But at the beginning of the season they are going to be real bad.

As winter has gone and we have gotten a bit of R & R we realize that “not taking reservations till May 1” was not only pure exhaustion talking but also unreasonable. As it simply does not  allow  you, our guests to do adequate planning.

So with that in mind we are warming up the computer and starting to take those summer 2018 reservations.

Highly recommend email, as catching us by phone is still going to be a bit difficult.

2017 Camping Season has come to an end. We are completely closed till next spring, May 1, 2018.

We will be here to greet you with smiles then.

We have found with much trial and error that taking reservations early leads to a lot of stress. Everything that can happen does happen from our computer dying to untold human disasters, for these reasons we will not be taking any reservations for camping until we open in May.

Please use the ranch email OrmanRanch@gmail.com to contact us as we are not even going to be monitoring the business phone until May 2018.

Thank you

As the camping season winds down we would like to thank all of our guests for a most wonderful camping season. And remind you that Sept 30, 2017 is the last camping night this year. You have made our season simply great in spite of road closures and fires with their smoke and ash and all of their brand of uncertainty. We look forward to seeing you again next year and will start taking reservations for the 2018 camping season May 1, 2018, through this web site, use reservation tab,
