Oasis Camel Dairy

Nothing like the sight of these majestic creatures! In the east county??? Odd, unusual and really cool, the camels at Oasis are a fun sight to look for as you enter the Witch Creek Valley.

We had so much fun on our private tour of the farm! Nieces and adults the same

My family and I had a wonderful time visiting on our private tour of Oasis Camel Dairy. Everyone there is so knowledgeable and friendly and all the animals are gentle. Nancy and Gil are perfect hosts.This is a perfect activity while visiting the area or just for this! About an hours drive from North County.

This was a really fun experience for the whole family, and Im not even really an animal lover. Super cool, fun and interactive tour. Very informative.

Real cool place. The animal show was great and the camel ride was awesome. The camel chocolate is very expensive though. I thought i could taste the camel milk but there was none to be found. Great place though. Me and my family enjoyed our time there

Visited on February 29th 2020 from roughly 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm.Paid the extra few dollars to feed the camels. Fed the sheep as well. Got some great (albeit a bit crowded) photos with the camels. Had the most fun with a small horse outside, closer to the parking lot, away from the crowds.I was surprised to not see camel milk offered in the gift shop. I guess thats our fault for not researching the camel dairy a bit more before attending.Definitely felt crowded throughout our time there. If you are parents with a group of small children, they wont notice and will love the entire experience. Highly recommend Oasis Camel Dairy for a young family activity.Looking for a fun activity as a couple? Perhaps look into booking a private tour of some kind instead. Without that intimacy, this feels more on par with buying a ticket to a small zoo rather than an invitation to a family run camel dairy.

Super friendly. We go every year and the kids love it.

Fun and educational experience. Great for families; all ages will find things to enjoy.

The place is GREAT with Camels, Horses, Sheep, Turkeys, Parrots and other birds and fish. The Host are amazing and fun Highly Recommend for children and Adults

Watermelon days is a blast! The farm is adorable, the people as sweet as can be and Nancy and Gil are incredible. Camels are interesting and fun. Bird show super cute. What a great family activity!

Great spot to stop at on your way over to julian! You can feed the camels and sheep, they also have turkeys that make the most hilarious sounds! Staff was very engaging and friendly. Will definitely be stopping here again.

Great place to commune with animals! Owner Gil was an awesome guide.

I am fortunate to drive past here daily!

Nancy and her husband are awesome! We had a great time watching the show and feeding the camels. My 3 year old loved feeding the sheep and petting the horses. It was definetly an experience!

Horses, donkeys, sheep, turkeys gobbling, birds and camels. Tour was available. And a camel ride was available. Great place for a birthday party for the kids.

A extremely unique experience. Show up early so you dont miss the show they put on. But if your on a budget then get there after the show and they dont charge to go in. You can feed and pet the camels and sheep. There are turkeys, many different birds and horses to look at but no touching or feeding. And you cant leave without taking a ride on a camel!

Loved this place. The camels are so sweet. Great guide with 20 years experience tells everything you want to know about them. Dont miss the shop they sell everything . Enjoyed very much it was a great experience.

We decided to stop here yesterday for our oldest daughters 6th birthday. She was super excited at the idea of meeting camels face to face. We were greeted by the turkeys and another loud bird beside them that I didnt see what they were. We then went inside the gift shop and oh man does it smell sooooooo nice in there. Lotions, soaps, bath bombs, chapsticks, chocolates all made from camel milk. And of course super cute toys for the kids and a hilarious shirt that apparently was inspired by a 1 star yelp review. THAT person became famous for being unimaginative and for not enjoying a fun day with the camels. Oh well.Our daughters both loved feeding and petting the sheep and camels. And our daughter, Kierra the birthday girl, had the hugest smile on her face while riding the camel. Definitely a beautiful day yesterday for a trip here.

Pretty unique place with different animals, some pretty exotic. There are camel rides available. The chocolates made with camel milk are pretty delicious. There are skin products made with the s milk. The owners are super nice and the little greeter is very cute Noodle Doodle. Nice place to take the kids and the whole family to. Definitely will visit again.

My boyfriend and I were so excited to come here and meet some friendly camels. Im happy to say that our experience was even better than we expected! Nancy and Gill are so nice and run an awesome farm! We got to feed a good amount of camels and some very hyper sheep. It was definitely a memorable time! We would go back!

Such a fun place to spend an afternoon! Ride a camel, pet a donkey or feed little sheep, and watch a bird show. Dont forget to check out the gift shop for local soaps or imported chocolates.

Amazing experience! The camels are so friendly! Very affordable! Make sure you get the ride

A MUST SEE! Discovered this place years ago and always look forward to returning! Nine miles east of Ramona on Hwy. 78. Great educational, fun trip for ages 3 and up. Reasonable admission prices; camel rides extra. Bring cash (easiest); credit cards accepted in the gift shop. Tours, camel rides, petting farm, exhibits, & animal show that the animals enjoy performing. 20 dromedary camels (friendly and cuddly), parrots, babydoll sheep, miniature donkeys, horses, herding farm dogs, meandering chickens, and racing turkeys (funny!) Presentations are educational, then feed, pet and interact with the animals. Kids love this place! I saw so many happy faces. My grandson and I took a memorable camel ride. Small gift shop offers rare camel hair yarn skeins, knit caps, a variety of gift items, and my favorite- RARE MILK Camel Milk Skincare. Made with all natural and organic camel milk, there are lotions, soaps, bath bombs and more. This estheticians favorite is the lotion with frankincense and myrrh. I highly recommend the Oasis Camel Dairy and the products they sell. Ice cold water and chips available. REAL (professionally trained) service dogs only. All other dogs (even emotional support pets) will not do well on this farm as the animals that live on this farm need to have their personal space and territory respected. Temperatures are high in this area, so please leave your dogs in the comfort if their own home, or in your air conditioned RV.

A great place to take the family for the afternoon. A new baby camel was born the day before. Feeding the apples to the camels was a highlight for my grandchildren.

My sister lives over an hour away so we dont get to see each other often, but a spur of the moment text got my fiance & I dressed & on our way up to this place. Just in time to catch a hilarious turkey race. Friendly animals. Great smelling soaps & to feed a camel. Was a blast! 1 of San Diegos hidden treasures.

Delightful place. They love their camels and It showed. There are about a dozen camels of all sizes. Including a baby one and a pregnant one. They were very curious about us and sniffed us. They wanted a scratch. You can feed them but they were not doing that at the moment. They were very mellow! The owner have a most informing talk. I would have to say, these camels are very cared for! There is a small gift shop where you can by soap, lotion, and chocolates. Try it all. It is very good. Who knew?

We were here not too long ago right after the rain cleared.(March 11th) It was a nice partly overcast day but it was perfect for being out in the open. Its a great place for first timers, you can feed a handful of goats, ride a camel or even feed them as well! Theres even a small show they put on and amaze you with their talented animals. We had a great time and even purchased a handful of soaps lotions and other camel merchandise. Totally fun!

My husband took me here for my birthday. Ive always loved camels. I had a great day!

What a great experience! After several deployments in the Mid-East, I thought camels were horrible creatures. After visiting this establishment, I have changed my entire view on them. What wonderful animals! What a difference in seeing well cared for, loved camels that were gentle and pleasant. Thank you for a wonderful time for me and my family.

Had a wonderful time here! So many more animals than expected. Parrots and donkeys and turkeys, oh my! The great big bull camel was the highlight for sure. He commands respect from all who look upon him. I never thought a camel could look so regal! Would recommend this experience to anyone. Pay the extra $ for apples. Its totally worth it.

Awesome experience! It was so cool getting up close to camels, feeding them, and riding one! Theres more than camels too, so check it out.Pretty cool place!

Great day trip for the family! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. They take great care of their animals. I enjoyed a day filled with turkey races, dancing and singing parrots, camel rides, camel feedings, chocolate bars made from camel milk, washing my hand with soap made from camels milk that left my hands soooooo smooth and cant forget the pomegranates! After all, we did go during the pomogranite festival!! Must visit, tons of fun. Will definitely come back.

Worth 10,000 stars!!! Lovely farm with precious camels, sheep, horses and birds

Was here on labor day weekend. The show was hilarious. The husband and wife are great. Truly a great memory for me and my family. Definitely recommend it to anyone else looking for a good laugh,great experience and family fun.

I had such a great time with my son at this farm. I would highly recommend it.

Amazing experience! The camels are so friendly! Very affordable! Make sure you get the ride.

Awesome fun! Must see.

We lucked upon The Oasis Camel Dairy this afternoon and discovered it for the gem that it is. Feeding the camels and sheep, playing corn hole, and making giant bubbles were loads of fun for the kids. Dont forget the Camel rides and delicious chocolate.The highlight was the show put on by staff with the birds and camels. Very entertaining for all ages and informative too.We are looking forward to our next trip to the Oasis Camel Dairy.

I love this place. My grandkids rode a camel and I feed one. I petted a horse and fed the sheep. They put on a show and the birds, you have to go and see for yourself. Awesome owners

Stopped by here on my way home from Julian. It was a fun experience to feed the camels and sheep. It was $10pp. Not too bad.

Great day at the camel dairy farm. Clean, friendly, fun and educational!! Enjoy my day

Great fun for all..The camels are gentle and the staff was very friendly.

There is a tour, which allows you to feed sheep and camels, and a camel ride. The tiny gift shop sells skin care products made from their camel milk, knitted hats and gloves, and toys. They also have imported chocolate bars made with camel milk.

They tried hard & feeding the camels was fun. Private viewing was nice but disappointed it was extra $150 to ride a camel..

We really enjoyed this new experience! Its amazing to see so close these beautiful animals...the owners are real fun and I could tell they love what they do! Although I thought the TOUCAN was not very happy...they didnt say anything about him/her and its a very beautiful bird. I would definitely recommend this place.

So much fun. Definitely the place to go with kids. We loved the petting zoo/ feeding station area. Kids were over the moon to get camel rides and being so close to these beautiful creatures.

Small camel dairy farm with beautifully healthy camels, sheep, turkeys and an African crane that was fun to take pictures of. Owner and staff very friendly.

I was very impressed with the amazing camel.the place is very clean and the owners extremely nice people

I would recommend everyone to go there at least once. Oasis Camel Dairy is a great place with kids around!

Trisha was AMAZING. she was so kind and thoughtful!! she answered any and every question on our tour and was so knowledgeable! i learned more about camels than i though necessary. Im honestly gonna recommend this tour for the critters to everyone!we interacted with a variety of birds (#RACEturkeys), sheep, and Camelot the camel. had so much fun! highly recommended for family fun. (:

We had a wonderful time. The employees were very friendly and helpful.Suggestion might be to offer riding helmets for young children! :)

What a fun experience! Booked a private tour for me and my wife who loves animals. They have birds and sheep and sp much more than just camels. The guide was very informative and friendly. An overall lovely way to spend an afternoon.

We love your dairy I fell in love with your camel milk chocolate. I love Noddle poddle the little greeter he is adorable. They have camel rides and it is a great place to go with kids or if you are a toruse visiting here it is awesome places to go I hope you visit.

So much fun! Definitely worth a visit, and the staff is so sweet!

The owners Gil and Nancy are so wholesome...!

Would have been better if they served camel ice cream!

Very nice people, great bird show, fun magician, and *beautiful* camels. We really enjoyed the day.

We came here from far away after seeing it on California Gold with Huell Howser.It was really cool to see these amazing appropriate camel toes in person.The Owners were very nice, outgoing people who put on a fantastic show!The turkeys, bird and dog were an added bonus!Great time!Camels are good people :)

This place is perfect for a family getaway with the kids! They have all kinds of farm animals to pet and feed. There are camels EVERYWHERE! The turkey stampede is hilarious! Go here and support the cause. This is a wonderful place with wonderful vibes!

Looked forward to trying camel milk but the gal in the gift shop said theyre in fact not allowed to sell camel milk because they dont have the proper certification. Had me perplexed, why call yourself a camel dairy? The camel milk chocolates they sell are imported from the United Arab Emirates. Just fyi for those like me expecting a different experience.

Worth the drive. We had so much fun cant wait to visit again.

I was just cruising around north county and suddenly my wife and niece spot camels! We stopped for a bit to check it out. Going to make a return trip so we can spend a while checking this place out. You should do the same... Cmon, camels in SoCal?

A quaint family run business, really friendly staff and animals. We came on a week day (not week end!) and there was no wait for riding or feeding camels and sheep or visiting the turkeys and birds.There was a free bird show, hilarious free magic show, and during event days like watermelon days there are cute free games for the kids.I enjoyed the store and bought soap, imported chocolate and souvenirs. I liked the hot dog stand with cold drinks. I think for a small family farm they did an excellent job entertaining myself and my children.The calm, friendly and helpful attitude of everyone working there made it for me. I tend to get used to being rushed through my meals and activities, so the relaxed, laid back attitude of the farm is a unique change from the average attitude of most businesses these days.Worth it just to get an awesome selfie with the camels! You get 2 free treats with admission, and can purchase additional treats for just a buck. The trick is to back up very close to the camels and then hold the treat over your shoulder. Dont be shy! These big animals are very gentle.

Great place to visit with adults and kids! Great day, gentle camels and informative! Best day evah!!!

The camel rides are fun for kids.

Way more than a patch of dirt. Amazingly friendly people with a lot of knowledge about the animals they care for.

I loved it I feed camels a apple

Great family run business. Fun for kids and adults.

Take the kids the will love it.. They have camel rides .

Love this place! We have been many times to the Watermelon Days, Pomogranate Days and open farm & its always Amazing! Theres always something new to learn & new activities for the whole family. Ive also been on a private tour with a Veterinary clinic and found that to be very educational, fun and great for team building. As long as you enjoy animals, this place should definitely be on the top of your to do list!

Great place for a field trip.

Fun for older kids (9 y.o. and up). Did not show us how they milk their camels, unfortunately. My family liked it overall, otherwise.

GREAT FARMES ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACE TO SEE. BEST WISHES TO ALL OF YOU GUYS...

Wonderful people and animals! The camels are just lovely. I absolutely adore Camelot (I know everyone does). The ranch is beautiful, and with so much room for the camels to enjoy being camels. My family just loves it!

What a great experience! the camels are very sweet, amazing to be that close to them, pet and feed them. The animal show was cute and funny.Bring cash its much easier, it cost $10 per adult and $1 for one little slice of apple to feed to camels. A little steep for what you get but it goes to a good cause. The store is very small could be expanded a little and add more things. The camel milk soap is great, very moisturizing but the lotion burns the heck out of my face!? the honey scent is not pleasing cost $8 so try them before you buy! I did not as we were all packed in the store like sardines. . All in all a nice outing and something new to do.

I spent a weekend with the Camels. I was followed around by Knuckles, one if the resident camels who thinks he is a dog. I loved every minute of the weekend learning all there is to know about the Camels and what good they ca do for us.

Fun place for adults and kids.

Various animals, tours of the dairy, camel rides, petting areas, gift shop and friendly people. This place was great.

It was an amazing experience. My favorite part was the talking parrots

This place is adorable and such a great time. Mostly for families, but couples without kids can find some fun.

I really love this place and recommend that everyone to go there it was great experienceThank you Gil

Bring extra cash to buy extra treat tickets. Its totally worth it and enhances the experience. The owners love thier animals and put on a cute family show. I would recommend!

Loved it. Had a great time and would recommend it to everyone!

Went for a friends birthday and had a great time! Will definitely be going back

Nice little place to take younger kids. Simple rides and feedings with animals. Not much food so pack a lunch and the restroom gets crowded quick. If youre kids are into petting zoos its a good spot.

Open house day was exceptional.If you see the dates they are open, its a treat. Who would have thought.

I was going with kids to Julian and saw this on our way. This place was amazing! Camel feeding and riding,, turkey, birds and more animals. Beautiful view and environment. A lot of families.

I love the owners. We go to their turkey stampede every year at the fair and it was time for us to see their camel dairy. The kids had a blast.

Wonderful experience. Nice cool weather.

A fun friendly place for the whole family to hang out with camels and other animals they have on the farm. Enjoyed the bird show they had and the camel ride was my daughters favorite. :)

This was a bad place. Dirty and not good for the animals they have. Very sad to see.

What a wonderful getaway from the city. Nature at its best. The animals were lovely, the air so fresh and the workers were incredibly informative and kind.

Good education about camel plus fantastic bird shows

Only on specific days, camel shows available on purchase of entry tickets. You can feed camels with carrots and also enjoy camel rides. It is like seeing an holly wood movie. A part from, other birds and animals keep your spirits high and enthusiastic.

This is an incredible and unique place to visit. My kids loved it!

Fun and educational, family run.

Fantastic, hands on and heartwarming experiences. My husband and I were so happy with our guided tour by owner Gil Riegler. He trains his camels by positive reonforcement. And those Camels are gentle and people loving.

We attended Pomegranate days yesterday and had a 5star time. It was the best money ever spent for a whole afternoon of fun. We went for the camels... who were great ! But were surprised and delighted by the circus magic and juggling performers. The turkey stampede, though, was my favorite. I laughed until I cried. I’ve never seen anything more funny in all my life. You just have to see them !!!

Recommended. Great guided tour. Camel feeding and more. Great for kids. Unique and special place.

Got to see some huge camels. Good value for the price. My two year old son had a blast
