Meet the Camels

Oasis Camel Dairy holds a pretty remarkable distinction—it’s the first camel dairy in the United States. Founded by Gil and Nancy Riegler, the farm has been welcoming visitors to Ramona for years, offering a one-of-a-kind look at these fascinating animals up close.

During Open Farm Days, guests can join guided tours, feed the animals, and get an inside look at daily life on the farm. You’ll also have the chance to meet other farm animals, making it a genuinely engaging experience from start to finish. It’s the kind of outing that sticks with you.

More Than Just a Farm

Oasis Camel Dairy goes well beyond what you’d expect from a typical farm visit. The experience is rooted in education and connection—visitors leave knowing a lot more about camels than when they arrived.

The farm also features a country store stocked with camel milk products, including soaps, lotions, and fresh camel milk for those curious enough to give it a try. It’s a great spot to pick up something unique to take home.

As an agritourism destination, Oasis Camel Dairy represents the best of what Ramona has to offer—authentic, local, and full of character.
