We had such a wonderful time camping at the alpaca farm! The animals roam freely and are incredibly friendly—especially if you have snacks in hand. It’s the perfect place if you’re in need of some furry, four-legged therapy.
The host was warm and welcoming, giving us a tour and sharing so much knowledge about the animals and the farm. The property itself is absolutely stunning—a true working farm with beautiful views in every direction.
One thing to note: the farm is located in a valley, so it can get quite windy. During our stay, campfires weren’t allowed due to weather conditions, which is totally understandable. There are only two communal firepits available, but they’re first come, first served. If you’re planning to cook, I recommend bringing a propane cooktop just in case.
Overall, it was a peaceful, refreshing experience—I’d absolutely recommend it to any animal lover or nature enthusiast!

2 nights at Pequena Huts
Cozy camping hut with a loft sleeping area that was very comfortable, outdoor shower attached and a composting toilet in a separate outhouse just a couple steps away. There are both a large and a small gas grill available but we loved the fire pit with the optional cooking grate. Lake Spaulding is very near and Emerald Pools are just a few minutes' drive away. Plus there is nice dark-sky star viewing at night. We had a great time!

I enjoyed the peacefulness, my tour with Jim, the animals, and breakfast. It was a special opportunity to be with alpacas, goats, camels, and a donkey! Stacey and Amanda were very nice and communicative. I expected an assigned site, but really you just park on the grass that is shared by other campers and the alpacas. The property is leased from an owner who has a lot of eyesore junk on the property, which is unfortunate. It’s a lovely setting between Mt. Rose and Washoe Lake. Overall a very enjoyable and laid back time for my first Hipcamp experience!

This ranch is amazing!!! Prompt responses from my host. You can come and go with ease, feel safe in the presence of all the animals and the area is amazing. Close to Carson city and a quick drive to Reno. I highly recommend. The price was also super fair and spacious to fit my toy hauler. Come check it out. It was great

The lake was beautiful and our spot was nice and level for our van. It was crazy windy, so we didn’t get a chance to enjoy the fun amenities, but the shower was super clean and nice with lots of special touches. We would definitely come back!

Had a great time with the Alpacas and other farm animals. It's a working ranch so don't think amenities, which is what we liked about it. You are free to roam and the views are amazing. We'll be back.

The animals were wonderful and the site is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your alpacas, lamas, angora goats (babies), chickens, ducks, dogs, and Donkeydonk with me. Sure I left something out. Very peaceful!

2 nights at Luxury Trailer on Off-grid Emu Farm
What a great little escape - you can be as ‘off the grid’ as you like. Tucked away on a farm a few miles from Pyramid Lake, this was the perfect place for us to stay and the fish the lake during the day. Would definitely recommend. Trailer is nice - would be tough with more than a couple of people though. Unless they’re small people lol 😆 but it was perfect for just me and the hubby. Hosts were super responsive and even showed me around the farm.

This place is Extraordinary! Holy moly! My girlfriend and I had an amazing stay here. The alpacas are so fun to be around, they will definitely get you laughing. Donkydonk (donkey) was such a sweetheart. They have super chilll goats but heads up they will try to eat your straw hat. They have a great breakfast basket. Also can’t beat being under a-hour to Lake Tahoe. Truly a hidden gem this place is! I would 100% recommend everyone to visit.

Stacey is very responsive and kind, Jimmy (I forgot his name) the substitute host was also so kind and welcoming, the scenery and area is gorgeous and pastoral, the animals were a delight (there were also the tiniest of tiny baby angora goats!!!!) the porta potty did not stink, there was some extra wood to burn. Would definitely stay here again, thanks so very much!

Group trip
The land was beautiful and the Alpacas were absolutely adorable. There were also baby goats that were born the morning we arrived.
The check-in process could have been smoother. We arrived on bikes and wandered around a bit before we were able to find a gentlemen that showed us around and let us know where we were supposed to pitch our tents. The camping area was a nice flat and open field, but didn't have any sort of shade, table or bench. The potable water was from a tap in an area labeled as "private property, keep out", but one gentleman said we could use it. However, the next morning when we went to fill our water bottles before cycling out, a barking dog came barreling towards us upon entering the area and a different gentleman was there who accused us of leaving a gate open the previous night. When asked which gate and when, he couldn't answer and then tried to backpedal. There were several other RVs and campers there coming and going, and we were sure to close the gate when we came and left, so we weren't entirely sure where this hostility was coming from.
Overall we were happy with our experience, but it did have some strange vibes and we didn't feel entirely welcome.

We loved tent camping in Stacey's land. The hosts were so welcoming and responsive. It was so peaceful with beautiful views of the night sky and snowy mountains. The animals were so lovable and curious. Every single one with its own cute personality. Loved the 20 year old donkey who loved eating carrots and apples. What an amazing experience!
