Are you a farmer and want to earn extra money from your land? See how Greg does it in on his 4th-generation vineyard in Mendocino County. He added 7 simple RV sites on a ridge overlooking the valley. No bathrooms. No hookups. No major build-out. Just a gate, a leveled patch of land, and a view.

Since then, Nelson Family Vineyards has welcomed hundreds of campers and generated extra revenue, all while continuing to run a fully working vineyard and tasting room.
Guests self-check in, stay spaced out along the ridge, and most interactions happen naturally in the tasting room. For Greg, the sites don’t replace the business, they support it, bringing new visitors directly to the wine.
For landowners or farmers, it’s a simple idea with real upside:
1. Turn underused land into income
2. Start small (even just a few sites)
3. Keep your existing operations running as normal
4. Let guests experience your working land as part of their journey
This is what agritourism looks like when it’s practical, not complicated.
A working vineyard. A few quiet campsites. A new revenue stream without changing the way the land is used.
