A friendly note to light sleepers, since this is a working horse farm, there may be horses whinnying to each other occasionally during the night, and often the bullfrogs around the pond can't resist singing a few songs after dark. Pet one of the ranch horses who have access to wander through camp. Close proximity to the historic Eastpark Reservoir (closed in Winter) for all your water sports and swimming. The Stonyford OHV area is just under 2 miles west of the ranch on Forest Road M10. Take a hike and practice your rock hounding in the nearby Stonyford Volcanic Complex, (in Mendocino National Forest boundaries) which is an ancient forearc seamount yielding some beautiful jasper rocks. Fishing in the ponds is temporarily suspended due to last summer's extremely dry weather and the damage it did to the fish and other pond dwellers.įor a larger, separate, group camping site for reunions, etc, please visit our 2nd camping area on Hip Camp at Morning Star Ranch Group Camp. Camp fire wood is available for sale at the ranch when fires are allowed. (Petting zoo and barn tour Monday through Saturday, 11:00 AM to 3:30 PM, and by special arrangement on Sunday). Your well behaved dogs are welcome here, although they must stay on a leash at all times.

The star gazing is amazing! Take a guided tour of the horse barn and small petting zoo for the kids, if interested ask to make arrangements. Reconnect with nature while relaxing by ponds or appreciating the rugged beauty which surrounds you.

Morning Star Ranch is a working Thoroughbred horse farm nestled in the shadow of the majestic 7,000 foot Snow Mountain, located within the Mendocino National Forest boundary. $27.50 per person per night, which works out to $55 for a couple (two people who are together).
