Eons ago camels roamed through the San Luis Valley and today they roam once again. Come and stay at our yurt enjoying views of the mountains and of the camels and donkeys roaming their home. Take a farm tour and get the chance to pet the camels and maybe even sneak a camel kiss. Enjoy a night stay at the yurt viewing the stars or enjoying a nice fire at the fire pit. Come stay in our yurt and get the chance to meet our little herd of camels and wake up to the views of the gorgeous surroundings! Travel down a few miles of dirt roads and you will find our little oasis of 35 acres. The hard-sided yurt sits right next to the field where our camels and donkeys roam. Set apart from the main house, sitting in Trujillo Canyon, and surrounded by BLM/National Forrest, its the perfect spot for recharging. Located off the beaten path so amazing for star gazing but also close enough to the Sand Dunes for day adventures. Our property is off the grid and allows you to disconnect for a little while and there is a nice creek to go and sit by. Each stay also includes a farm tour if you are interested. The night skies have little light pollution and are perfect for star gazing. We can't wait for you to come and stay with us! Don't take our word for it, guests love their stays with us! "We struck gold finding this magical place. The yurt was so cozy, comfy, and full of tons of extras that exceeded our expectations. We booked our little trip to visit the dunes, but this farm was by far the best part of our trip. We loved our walks to see all the animals.

Camels and a Yurt

What a special and unique experience this was! We arrived after dark, and the off GPS directions were excellent and easy to follow. My son and I kicked off a ten day road trip with our first stay here, and even though very cold outside, the yurt was cozy and warm. The bed is very comfy, and there are thoughtful touches throughout the yurt including a kettle for the wood stove, handmade soaps, games, and a French press just to name a few. Meghan and Liam gave us a great farm tour where we got to meet the donkeys and camels, and see the frozen creek. Would definitely book again.

Camels and a Yurt

SUCH AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE! The hosts, Matt and his son Liam were so helpful and gave us a great tour. With the weather being kid of cold and rainy, the yurt was warm, comfy, and cozy; and it was very peaceful hearing the rain hit the roof at night. The camels and donkeys are clearly very well taken care of and SUPER SWEET! I would love to come back and stay here longer, and I would recommend this to anyone that loves the outdoors 1000000X over and over again!!!!!

Beautiful nature & kind people

Camels and a Yurt

We had such a fantastic stay at Matt and Meghan’s. Where to begin? The property is down a long stretch of country road but the pay off at the end is an incredible special property with gorgeous views in every direction. Matt provided very clear directions and we found our way there with no problem. They were very communicative and flexible on meeting us even though we pushed back our arrival several hours. Matt, Meghan and Liam greeted us and introduced us to the animals of the farm. And WOW they are so incredible. The camels were friendly and inquisitive and the donkeys were very sweet. Matt took us on a tour of the property and we were in awe not only of it, but of his background and life experience and his wonderful relationship with his son. Liam was an excellent co-host and showed us lots of wonderful nature we would have otherwise missed. The yurt was centrally located, well appointed, clean and comfortable. I have zero complaints. This was by far my favorite Hipcamp stay yet and I cannot wait to come back.

Meagan and Matt were fantastic hosts, and the yurt itself was tidy and welcoming! We had a great time on the farm seeing all of the animals (especially the camels), and the sand dunes which are nearby and well worth the drive! Instructions to the yurt were easy to follow and very helpful. Definitely check this place out!

I loved this place!

Camels and a Yurt

I spent the weekend Glamping in a yurt on a Camel and Donkey Farm. It was so much more than I expected. The camels and donkeys were so friendly and lovable. The yurt was camel themed and even had camel milk soap. You can order camel milk fudge, farm fresh eggs, and hand spun yarn. It was cozy and had a wood burning stove. We roasted some marshmallows, sipped some hot tea, and watched some shooting stars. Matt gave us a tour of the farm and was so knowledgeable about the area. He showed us the edible berries on his property and we tried a couple different kinds. This was absolutely the weekend getaway that I needed. What a great experience!
