Earn this patch by being the first to spend a night outside at a new Hipcamp.
Retreat to a ranch setting, living landscape where land, fibre, and story are woven together. Set against expansive valley views, three ecologically sensitive bell tents rest on cedar platforms within a regenerating ecosystem. This is MorningStar Woollen, a working regenerative sheep and flower farm where textiles, beauty, and land stewardship are practiced as one. This is not just a stay, but a slower way of being. Who this experience is for: - The Off Grid Seeker: Those who truly want to disconnect from digital noise, embrace a slower pace, and experience the quiet luxury of a fully unplugged space. - Makers and Creatives: Artists, writers, and textile enthusiasts wishing to rest, observe, sketch, and reconnect with the physical origins of material. - Nature and Land Stewards: Conscious travellers eager to live alongside a working, regenerating ecosystem and learn about the rhythms of land restoration. The 10-acre camping area invites gentle exploration. A self-guided walking trail winds through the land, with thoughtfully placed plaques sharing the story of restoration, fibre, and regenerative practice. Along the way, observe rotational grazing as it shapes the landscape: an ever-changing pattern of movement, growth, and renewal. Here, the process behind cloth begins in place: in soil, in pasture, in the care of animals, and in the rhythms of the seasons. All sites are walk-in only, preserving the quiet and integrity of the land. Guests are asked to remain within marked areas to support ongoing regeneration. Each tent is intentionally and comfortably appointed for the 2026 season while remaining fully off-grid. Please bring your own drinking water and come prepared for a more mindful, unplugged experience. The land is shared with wildlife (bears, cougars, elk, deer, and many others). A secure sea can is provided for storing all food and scented items. For those wishing to deepen their understanding, guided farm walks are offered Saturdays at 4 PM, offering a closer look at the working systems behind the landscape. To ensure the safety of guests, livestock, and working animals: - No fires - No pets (livestock guardian dogs are on site) - Do not climb or touch fences - Do not feed or pet animals Rooted in reciprocity - experience sheep Ranch campingEach bell tent site offers a sense of privacy and quiet, set approximately 200 feet from the nearest neighbouring tent. A spacious cedar deck provides room to rest, stretch out, and take in the surrounding landscape, with views opening toward the valley and easy access to the nearby walking trail. Amenities are simple, intentional, and designed to support an off-grid experience. An outdoor food preparation area is included, equipped with a windscreen and a two-burner camp stove. A portable toilet is also situated within a short walking distance of the sites. The self-guided walking trail begins just steps from the tents, allowing guests to move easily through the 10-acre camping area. Along the path, informational plaques offer insight into the farm’s regenerative practices, including rotational grazing and the relationship between land, animals, and fibre. All elements of the site are walk-in access only, helping to preserve the quiet, safety, and ecological integrity of the space.
