6.6mi from Casper · 2 sites · Tents, RVs · Casper, WY

Cloud Peak Llamas was established in 1987 and is known as one of North Americas Llama Pioneers. They continue to raise quality llamas for fiber, packing and disposition. We started as the first llama packer in the state of Wyoming and now we welcome campers to come and spend the night with us. While you are here, shop in the wool room where we carry luxurious alpaca and llama fiber and all kinds of llama gifts. Relax and enjoy the firepit. We are a working ranch and do not provide any hookups such as water, electricity or sewer. That would change the experience you get while staying on the ranch. RV's are welcome to use their generators. Water is available for drinking and to fill up your tank. The bathroom is closed for the season and will not open until the weather improves. We have two dog runs available. Your dogs need a rest while traveling so feel free to let them off leash in the dog run. We have a lot of open room so we will help you park in the pasture where you will be surrounded by the animals. We have a short dirt road leading into the ranch. If you love animals and want a ranch experience this is a campsite for you? There is not another camping experience like this. You will love it!! Each year, we are voted one of the best campsites in the state .

This property belonged to my grandparents. My grandpa and grandma ran cattle and sheep on the land and put up hay. They raised my dad and his two brothers on the place. My dad and mom built a house just West of the property, where I grew up, walking over the hill to visit Grandpa and Grandma. They sold the ranch when I was 10 years old. The place was sold 3 times before I was able to buy it back in 2021. The purchase included an RV campsite. My wife Lindsey and I thought, what a great way to meet people and share a little piece of our amazing Wyoming. There is nothing better in the world than waking up early in Rural Wyoming! Learn more about this land: Open views of hay meadows, cattle, sheep and sagebrush. The area around the campsite is an open field with easy interstate access. There are neighbors within view and our home is approximately 1/4 mile away from the two RV camping spots. We have kids, horses, sheep, dogs, cats and rabbits. There are also antelope and deer. We do offer electrical, septic and water hookups at both locations. Both sites are immediately adjacent to one another. Just a short drive from Douglas, Wyoming and Natural Bridge State Park.

Peaceful spot to spend a night and wake up to great Wyoming pastoral views. Also a good spot for folks like me who are always looking for a dark sky. Open views all around for sky watching. I even scored a northern lights display to the north. Electric hook up and water appreciated, too.

Weekend Trip to Cloud Peak Llama and alpaca ranch

Barbara and her husband are great hosts. They have a beautiful ranch with awesome animals, which it made our experience more special. This is a working ranch and there is manure scattered around the ranch, which might bother some folks. My husband and I didn’t mind, it is a ranch after all, it’s expected. We had a great time hanging out with the donkeys, goats, the horse, and pony! The view of sunset and sunrise on their property is amazing! Barbara also has fresh eggs for purchase to take on the road, they are the best eggs we’ve had! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone traveling through Wyoming.

We enjoyed staying at site #1 of the Little Ponderosa very much. Thanks to excellent directions and a kind welcome sent by Tanner and Lindsey the day before arrival, it was very easy to find just a short distance off Hwy 25. The back-in was easy parking for our 30' trailer and truck. Enjoyed walking around the campsite and the beautiful views of the ranch and nearby mountains. Highly recommend.
