Such an amazing overall experience! The farm workers were all so friendly! My kids (4 and 2) absolutely had a blast feeding the alpacas! Would definitely come back and recommend!

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

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.

Such a peaceful spot! The view over the lake was gorgeous, especially at sunset, and I loved how quiet it was at night. The dirt road was a little bumpy, but totally worth it.
--- I'd definitely come 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!

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.

This place is absolutely amazing! Very clean, beautiful views, sites right on the water. We booked over Easter weekend and were the only ones there. It was heaven! Perfect weather and they provided fire wood, complimentary.

Glamping was a breeze! The sleeping area was clean and had so much space. I used my sleeping bag for extra warmth at night, but there was a propane heater for use if you need it.
The alpacas were my main draw and I’m so glad I was able to interact with them. They were very friendly and very curious about the dog I had with me. I enjoy the fact that I was able to feed the animals with feed they provided at their shop! Each paid campsite gets a free bucket of feed.
They have two guardian dogs that patrol the area and protect the livestock, and they were very friendly.
Overall a very enjoyable time. I added a breakfast to my trip and I loved it! My dog also had a very enjoyable time smelling all the smells and interacting with the animals.

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!

Great site, perfect midway point between southern sierra’s and Bay Area that’s very peaceful and clean. Site was a bit hard to find as the billboard says something else but you’ll figure it out. Clean bathrooms too. Just wish host was a bit more communicative but no worries, we figured it out

Aside from everyone who worked there being extremely friendly and accommodating, this place was truly awesome. It was such a novel concept that turned out to deliver spectacularly. I had tent troubles and one of the employees lent me their tent.
I highly reccomend this spot, it's an unforgettable stay.

We had a sweet and easy Saturday night in April as the only people here. We had a wonderful waterfront spot and enjoy skipping rocks and watching the pink sunset on the snowy mountains. Friendly host. All sites radically level. Very clean bathroom.
Clear lake used mainly as a fishing spot.

Lakeside camping in Nevada guide
Overview
Nevada is not only home to some of Lake Tahoe, but it also contains hundreds of smaller lakes where you can really get away from it all on a camping trip. While California lays claim to most of Lake Tahoe, Nevada's portion of this big, blue lake is actually the most publicly accessible and oftentimes, less crowded. RV sites and tent camping can be found at both the Zephyr Cove and Nevada Beach campgrounds, while RV parks and day-use areas are available close to the water. Elsewhere, Nevada state parks, such as Washoe Lake State Park, Rye Patch State Recreation Area, and Cave Lake State Park, offer lake campsites, boating, and kayaking. If you crave dark skies, national forests, birdwatching, and alpine lakes, take the trip down the Loneliest Highway to Ely and Great Basin National Park or up to Elko. Here's where you can see the real Nevada up close and take your pick of picnic areas surrounded by the snow-capped Ruby Mountains and uncrowded camping areas with full hookups, bathrooms, and dump stations.
