Pactamere Farm was wonderful!! If you're used to camping in state/national parks, you might miss the freedom to just roam and hike when you get up, but this was a lovely experience I highly recommend if you're up for a change of pace. You're literally sleeping in the alpacas' fenced off field, so they're there when you wake up and wandering around all day. It was truly delightful. Eric was a great host.. we were away for most of the daytimes, but we got in after dark the day we checked in, and Eric met us at our car, let us in through the gate and gave us the lay of the land pretty thoroughly before we set up camp. There's a bathroom and potable water (honestly, really good water) available, and Eric offered to bring us food to feed the alpacas in the morning, which would've been really fun if we'd been around! We saw a young girl and her mom having a blast one of ours mornings there as we were rushing off to play golf. There was a great fire pit for us at our site and plenty of scrap wood laying around to make a fire. We had a little gas stove, but if you're planning on cooking over a fire, just know that there isn't a grill top (that I saw, but we also didn't ask, since we had other means).

this was such a lovely experience! i was just passing through the area and camped here one night, but now i definitely want to come back! i was so delighted by the company of friendly alpacas. the pasture was very spacious to choose a spot and overall a very peaceful area. if you’re hesitant, don’t be! Eric and his mother were wonderful hosts as well.

I can’t say enough good things about this spot. Eric and his family were amazing hosts. Eric’s mom gave me an entire run down on how they process the alpaca coats and the different things they use it for. I had so much fun with her. The yarn from the herd is BEAUTIFUL, I highly recommend asking about it if you’re a knitter or crocheter. Parking the car and setting up camp in the pen with the alpacas was super fun. They’re a sweet herd, and love eating out of your hand. There’s a local brewery close by that was great. I also hit up two knitting shops in the area. I’ll definitely be back to this spot again. I want to be there for one of the outdoor movie nights!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed camping with ALPACAS!! Such a unique experience. We booked last minute but Eric was very accommodating, came out to greet us and get us settled, and helped our two girls feed the Alpacas. Great family experience and we look forward to doing it again.

What a great trip. Eric came down and greeted us, was very friendly. His mom showed me around the barn, showed the process of harvesting the wool, and gave plenty of great alpaca facts! Would go again in a heartbeat, highly recommend.

We had an awesome stay! The property is absolutely beautiful and Eric is a great host. We slept surrounded by alpacas and even got a bucket of food so we could feed them. They are amazing animals and it was a blast to cuddle them. Would 100% recommend staying here.

Pactamere Farm
We had such an awesome time with this one of a kind camping experience with the alpacas roaming around the field. Eric was so kind and welcoming to our family, and always super responsive to our messages leading up to the trip. We had a great time and would love to come back!

Everything was amazing. Eric and his daughter are fantastic hosts. The site was clean and easy to find. There is a awesome fire pit that made atarting and enjoying the fire so easy. The alpacas were super friendly but not all over you begging for food or attention like a dog or cat might. If you're going for skygazing, I'd look elsewhere. There's a lot of light pollution. If you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs. The frogs, crickets, and birds sing all night and into the morning. Of course, if you are like me and LIKE that kind of thing, youll rest like a baby. Loved it. Thanks, Eric, for the hospitality.

Eric was a great host. He let us choose a spot in the pasture with the alpacas, so we chose the spot near a few trees for shade. He was very friendly and brought a firepit for us to use. The alpacas were also very friendly.

Pactamere Farm was definitely a unique and cozy experience. This is our second time here for our little girls 4th birthday and she had an amazing time. A short distance away, there’s water on site, also a restroom, free roaming alpacas that you can pet and feed, and to top it off they surprised us with a huge projector for movie night. Thanks again, Eric and Grace, for your hospitality, we will miss this place.

Stayed one night at Pactamere farm and had a phenomenal time. Hanging out with and feeding the alpacas were highlights of our stay — very friendly creatures. Eric offered for them to roam about the pasture during our stay — and we accepted — having them wander around the field at night definitely enhanced our camping experience. Highly recommend Pactamere Farm — thank you Eric for an incredible experience!

Eric and his family are amazing. The kids had an unforgettable experience with the Alpacas. They also spent time with Eric's mother making soap bars and also with his daughter teaching my kids a thing or two about the farm. The farm is just a few short miles from home, but far enough to get away from the hustle n bustle of the city. We will definately swing back for a longer stay!

It was an awesome spot that is filled with animals and is just far enough away from Richmond to escape the lights and noise without being a really long drive. We will definitely be back. Thanks for the tour and the education about Alpacas!
