Stories from the community

1 night at L.Davis Ranch and Olde LYFE Alpacas

It was so fun to tent camp amongst alpacas! They were curious, but kept their distance. The sunrise and sunsets were gorgeous and the hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!

2 nights at Bright Bear Camp in Tahoe NF

Everything was amazing starting with a fantastic host who has an organized, clean and welcoming place for the guests, to the woods, the serenity, the comfort of the Pearl and all the amenities offered. For a great glamping experience, the Pearl should be on your list! Thank you, Kelley, we're happy to have had the opportunity to meet you and for having us and our dog Winnie!!

1 night at L.Davis Ranch and Olde LYFE Alpacas

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.

Weekend Trip to L.Davis Ranch and Olde LYFE Alpacas

Omg, the alpacas. Loved the fuzzy hosts so much. This is a beautiful spot, and would repeat. Word of warning: if you’re coming through in spring, be careful with the grassy field. We got stuck in the mud and were only able to get out after airing down tires. Host was helpful on resolving, and quick to support.

2 nights at L.Davis Ranch and Olde LYFE Alpacas

Beautiful piece of land to set up camp and even more beautiful alpacas! We left this site with a new respect for alpacas, they were so personable and cute! Stacey was great at accommodating us and even letting us feed the alpacas.

Great spot for my late arrival - gorgeous views the next morning when I woke up! Host was very helpful in getting me directions! I hope to return :)

Weekend Trip to L.Davis Ranch and Olde LYFE Alpacas

We had a series of unfortunate events, so we did not get to stay overnight. But! We were able to come by in the morning and we were greeting with so much hospitality. The spot is beautiful and the alpacas are sweet and adorable! We truly could feel the magic of the place with just a few hours spent there. We can’t wait to return and actually stay overnight!

We had such a lovely experience staying at the alpaca ranch. We loved spending time with the animals. They were so cute!! Stacey was very friendly and helped us get set up with a heater to stay warm in the intense wind.

Weekend Trip to L.Davis Ranch and Olde LYFE Alpacas

This was a fantastic stay! The tent was perfect set in the middle of the ranch with alpacas wandering right up to our door. It was easy finding our way around and they were very accommodating with our odd schedule. Definitely would recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay at the farm. This was a unique experience, yet very comfortable and convenient. The views are great, animals are very friendly, and feeding them carrots was SO MUCH FUN. We definitely plan to be back.

Tent camping here was a great choice! My friends and I set up our tent and stayed the night and got to hang out with all the alpacas and other animals around the next morning. I would definitely recommend staying here 👍

2 nights at Camp Shady Meadow

I love the area and camp site 3 by the creek. It was very private and the camp host was friendly and great to talk too. Great base camp to go explore the surrounding areas. We will definitely be back.

Stacey was the best camp host of our trip! She was very responsive and kind. She went out of her way to offer help where it was needed. My Son loved the farm and said it was his favorite campsite of our trip.

Weekend Trip to L.Davis Ranch and Olde LYFE Alpacas

Everyone thought I was crazy for tent camping in February but Stacey made it possible! The property, hospitality, and animals were great! The view was beautiful!

1 night at L.Davis Ranch and Olde LYFE Alpacas

Great space for a quick getaway! I live in Reno and had a friend visit from California. Between us for this trip we didn’t have much trunk room but both love camping. Stacey had all of the essentials so all we had to bring was sleeping bags and food! Definitely would recommend for friends. There was a fire ring and we were allowed to have a camp fire with wood they provided! Perfect for winter camping!

Weekend Trip to L.Davis Ranch and Olde LYFE Alpacas

Stacey was such an accommodating host. This was a unique and fun experience. The alpacas were fabulous and very friendly and curious, even with our doggos. Beautiful piece of land, perfect place to get away from the city and experience farm life. The glamping tent was great, we opted for a propane heater, which kept us nice and toasty for the night. We hope to return in the summer!

3 nights at L.Davis Ranch and Olde LYFE Alpacas

It’s the place you forget about the everyday stress and immerse yourself in nature. Of course let’s not forget the highlight of the stay, being among the alpacas. We woke up and they were grazing around the camp. They were not shy and so curious they come right up to you. Everyone on the farm was so helpful and welcoming. Our pup also had an amazing time here.

Weekend Trip to L.Davis Ranch and Olde LYFE Alpacas

This place is amazing. It was a real pleasure staying on the farm and waking up surrounded by beautiful, well cared for, friendly animals. My dogs enjoyed the freedom too. We will be back for sure.

Flyte and Sparrow natural interlude

When you come to camp here you are on a working farm in transition. Girlfarm has been a local food go to for restaurants, farm family members, and regenerative agriculture interests. Today, the farm is looking forward to a new course in agri tourism as we begin planning walking gardens, art installations in the landscape, and interactive classes. If you would like a list of grass fed meats available, veggies, or herbs just text your host BEFORE arrival. Please come visit in April May and June it is some of the most green and lush times in the high desert. It can also bring snow, winds, and rain. Be prepared- look at the forecast and contact you just directly if you have concerns We are looking for a seasonal self contained camper who we could offer trade for camp care - text host directly. Its been a huge water season so skeeters are around we also recommend tents have a rain fly and ground cloth. Welcome It was important to choose a partner like Hipcamp to invite like minded individuals who respect both the natural environment and the idea of less is more. At any time you may encounter farming activities, building out of tiny houses for future bookings, or gardens in the process of creation. As we move toward offering the land as a place to both find solitude or chosen participation our Flyte and Sparrow experience will hopefully be a place you will want to return to as your own tradition.
