Discover One of Ramona's Most Unique Attractions: Oasis Camel Dairy
Ramona is full of pleasant surprises, but few are quite as unexpected as coming face to face with a camel. Just minutes from San Diego Country Estates, Oasis Camel Dairy is one of Southern California’s most unique attractions and America’s first camel dairy. This family-owned farm offers visitors an unforgettable experience with guided tours, interactive animal encounters, entertaining live shows, and handcrafted camel milk products.
Whether you’re traveling with family, planning a romantic getaway, or simply looking to discover something off the beaten path, Oasis Camel Dairy is a must-visit during your stay. It’s a fun, educational adventure that perfectly captures the charm and character of Ramona, making it an experience you won’t soon forget.
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.

Guests consistently praise the friendly staff, engaging presentations, and the opportunity to interact with animals in a relaxed, intimate setting. It’s no surprise the attraction is consistently ranked among the top things to do in Ramona.
