Reservation deposits are non-refundable within 30 days of the campout. Due to our small group sizes, cancellations have a significant impact on our ability to plan and accommodate guests. We appreciate your understanding and encourage you to reach out as soon as possible if your plans change.

If we have to cancel due to weather, you’re welcome to transfer your registration to another available campout date. If none of the available dates work for your schedule, we will issue a refund.

No, you don’t need a horse to have a great time! There’s plenty to do, from learning new skills to relaxing under the open sky and swapping stories around the campfire. Whether you’re riding or just here for the experience, you’ll be part of an unforgettable weekend!

We offer two styles of campouts at NonPareil Ranch:

• Cowgirl Campouts are for women only, ages 16 and up. These weekends are a welcoming space to ride, learn, and connect with like-minded cowgirls who share a love for the western lifestyle.
  
• Cowhand Campouts are open to both men and women, also ages 16 and older. Perfect for couples, friends, and anyone ready to spend time outdoors, ride, work cattle, and enjoy the full ranch experience.
  

No matter which campout you choose, you’ll be part of a fun, down-to-earth community.

You have a few options for keeping your horse comfortable during the campout:

• Rent an outside pen for the weekend.
• Tie to your trailer or bring your own portable panels
• Use our highline if your horse is accustomed to it.

We provide alfalfa hay and water, but if your horse needs anything else, feel free to bring it along.

Spring nights can be chilly, so we recommend bringing a blanket (if your horse is used to being indoors) to keep your horse warm since they will be outside. If you have any questions or special needs, just let us know—we’re happy to help!

Yes! Extra horses are welcome for an additional fee per horse. However, no mares with foals or stallions are allowed. All horses will need to be tied, kept in a personal pen, or in one of our rental pens. Let us know in advance if you're bringing an extra horse(s) so we can help accommodate your needs!

Absolutely! Both our Cowgirl and Cowhand Campouts are designed to welcome riders of all experience levels—from first-timers to lifelong horsemen and women. Whether you're still learning the basics or looking to build on years of riding, we create a supportive, low-pressure environment where you can go at your own pace, gain confidence, and enjoy the experience. There’s something for everyone, no matter where you’re starting from.

Ff you'd rather skip the demonstrations and activities, feel free to explore our ranch on horseback at your own pace. With wide open trails and breathtaking views, it's the perfect chance to enjoy the freedom of riding and soaking in the beauty of our land.

It all depends on Mother Nature! Sometimes forecasted storms pass through without much impact, and the roads into the ranch remain in good shape. Other times, the weather makes travel difficult. We’ll keep a close eye on conditions and do our best to notify you the day before if any changes need to be made. Your safety and enjoyment are our top priorities!

If we have to cancel due to weather, you’re welcome to transfer your registration to another available campout date. If none of the available dates work for your schedule, we will issue a refund.

Off-Grid Experience: Campout Camping is all about embracing the great outdoors! All sites are dry camping with no electricity, giving you the chance to unplug and unwind under wide open skies. We have plenty of space, so arrive early to claim your perfect spot and settle in for a weekend of true outdoor living.

Showers and bathrooms are available on-site for your comfort.

In the evenings, gather around the campfire, share stories, and enjoy the camaraderie—just please be sure to bring your own chair to kick back and relax!

If camping isn’t your style, no worries! Hotels are just a short 15-20 minute drive into Bakersfield, so you can still enjoy the campout experience while having a cozy place to stay nearby.

Your registration includes delicious, ranch-style meals centered around our own ranch-raised beef, plus plenty of water, coffee, tea, and sodas to keep you refreshed throughout the weekend. If you have any food allergies, please let us know ahead of time, and we’ll do our best to accommodate within reason. You’re also welcome to bring your favorite alcoholic beverages to enjoy by the campfire!

Absolutely! We love having well-behaved dogs join the adventure, but for everyone's safety and comfort, they must be kept on a leash at all times. This helps ensure a stress-free experience for all campers, horses, and furry friends alike.

Yes! Gift certificates are available and make a perfect gift for the cowboy or cowgirl in your life. It’s a great way to give the gift of adventure, friendship, and time in the great outdoors! Please contact Sarah for more information: 661-619-2982 or email at sarah@nonpareilranch.com
