Camp with the Alpacas

Site 1 - Camp with Alpacas

I would happily spend the very affordable $35/night again just to spend time with Snowflake and Dora, the sweetest Great Pyrenees FurBubbies EVER! Honestly, they alone are worth the price of admission. I stayed at Site #4, for tents or very small RVs. It’s the most secluded site, tucked at the back of the property, with a water pump right there. The entire property is fenced and felt incredibly safe—especially important to me (and my mom!) on my first solo camping trip. David told me I’d hear Snowflake and Dora making their perimeter rounds throughout the night. Apparently, they decided I WAS the perimeter. They stayed with me and slept outside my tent all night. I’d have invited Snowflake in, but that felt like overstepping—and she wouldn’t fit in my sleeping bag. There are around 35 alpacas, including a few free-roaming ones. The tour lets you meet the herd, learn about alpaca care and fiber, and, in my case, meet an adorable, VERY frisky 2½-week-old baby boy. David and Jean have spent 18 years building this dream, and their love for their animals and what they do is obvious. They’re incredibly warm and welcoming. They also have chickens, fresh eggs, and a small mill where they turn alpaca fiber into yarn and felted pieces. I came for a safe, peaceful first solo camping trip and left completely in love with this place. 10/10. I’ll be back—probably with girlfriends. And possibly leaving with Snowflake in my trunk.

Site 3 - Camp with Alpacas

Very clean and well kept property hosted by David and Jean. Lots of friendly animals and the alpaca farm tour was definitely the highlight of the trip! We got to pet and feed the alpacas and learn about the entire process start to finish in seeing how wearables and household goods are made from the alpaca fibers. The two guardian dogs Snowflake and Dora were fun to hang out with and it was a treat to give them lots of pets and back scratches every time they came by on their rounds. The alpaca mill here has won so many awards for their work and it was a wonderful experience getting to learn about so much from passionate industry experts. The stars were bright and it was fairly quiet at night. The roosters start crowing at about 4am so just keep that in mind :)

We had a great time staying here! The hosts were friendly and kinda. We bought eggs for our stay, a farm tour, and a felt sheet class. I would recommend these if you love to learn new things. We had fun and the dogs would come around and patrol stopping by for some pets. We would definitely come back!

Stayed here with my son to camp for the weekend while we explored a bit of Washington and had a great time! My son loved running around the farm meeting all the animals. Very friendly farm dogs and lots of wandering Alpacas to keep him entertained. Hosts are very kind and set up is easy, if we are ever back in this area, this is where ill be staying.

We had a great time camping at the Alpaca Farm. We were at the back and had a really private site with tons of room. We also did the mill tour and got to meet the alpacas up close which was so fun! Our toddler loved staying at the farm, especially getting visits from their dog Snowflake! It was also a convenient drive to Mt Rainier. Would definitely stay here again if we’re in the area. Jean and David were so welcoming.

Site 1 - Camp with Alpacas

We spent two nights tent camping at this charming, quiet Alpaca farm owned by Jean and David. The farm had about 35 very adorable alpacas, roosters which provided endless entertainment. We loved walking in loops through the property. We also loved Snowflake, the friendly guard dog, who made sure we were safe during our entire stay! Don't miss to take the farm tour. The hosts were generous with their time, and shared a lot of knowledge with us. Very wholesome! The toilet facilities/maintenance could use some improvement. But the hosts tried to make sure we felt comfortable. Despite this, our stay was memorable and enjoyable, and we appreciate the warm and welcoming environment Jean and David have created. We'll go back again.

Wonderful stay and visit with the Alpacas. Take the tour, very informative and if you have kids, being able to hug and feed them is priceless. We were the only campers and our first tent camping experience. Went great. My granddaughter loved being with all the animals and her new friend snowflake, the guard dog. Due to another herd we were more towards the front which was a walk to the portapotty but doable.

Camping with the alpacas

25 ft travel trailer · With kids ·

We Trailer dry-camped with our 3 grandsons (6, 4, and 2) this past weekend, and what a delightful experience! The staff are all so accommodating and informative. The alpaca are sweet, curious, gentle creatures and their guardians Snowflake and Sumi accepted the boys into the herd and we were delighted to hear them alert the couple of times during the night even for all our protection. We felt completely safe and looked after! Our 3 are rambunctious, loud, busy boys yet the weekend felt relaxed and serene in the lovely setting. Thank you to the owners Jean and David for sharing their world with us, and the staff Chayney, James, B, and Linda (and all) for their attentiveness and going above and beyond to help make this weekend special! The boys got to experience supervised petting and feeding of the alpacas, a tour of the working mill, and to visit the shop! We highly recommend doing it all! We will definitely camp with the alpacas again! On a logistical note, we were in campsite Number two, and from what we could see the sites were all nice and flat, amongst some sparse trees, with picnic tables and fire rings… Plenty of space! It was perfect for us! I wish I could attach a picture to this review!

This was such an awesome experience! Jean and David were a wealth of knowledge and really took the time to answer all of our questions, and there were a lot! We enjoyed the atmosphere being surrounded by alpacas and two of the sweetest dogs! We camped at site 2 which was private enough but still near the alpacas. Highly recommend!

Hanging with alpacas!

My family had a wonderful time staying at Jean’s alpaca farm! We stayed in the first 3 sites with our group, 2 RVs and the rest in tents. They were extremely accommodating with any questions I had prior to the trip. It was so fun having the alpacas wondering around our camp and grazing the grass nearby. Snowflake, the farm dog, was the sweetest girl and loved any cuddles you’re willing to give. The farm tour was very informative. The one difficulty for our group was the bathroom situation and location. It was a little bit of a walk and there was just one porta potty.

Adventures with Alpacas!

25 ft travel trailer · Group trip ·

Quiet property, relaxing, and free range Alpacas! And, you get to hang out with Snowflake, the guard dog that quickly accepts you into the pack. If you are a really light sleeper, bring some earplugs, as Snowflake is a working dog 24/7, and won't hesitate to scare off potential invaders to protect her herd, even at 3am. Jean and David are wonderful hosts. Be sure to book the tour so you can hand feed the young Alpacas and see firsthand how they turn Alpaca fiber into beautiful products. We've been using Alpaca dryer balls for years and their prices are the best. The free range Alpacas are quiet and will get close to you if you keep your hands in your pockets and stay still. They are beautiful animals. Do it!

The campsite was nice and private. It was fun looking at the alpacas. The problems started as soon as we arrived. I asked that in the event we had to interact with the host that they wear a mask which I was assured would be ok. My MIL got there before me only to have to listen to the host mock me for being covid conscious. I'm pregnant and my daughter hasn't been vaccinated yet since she's 3. Apparently it's "God's country". That was the excuse he used with my MIL. He didn't honor my request for no contact and he didn't wear a mask. The firewood we spent $20 for was not logs but scraps of wood from around the farm. Not worth it. We set up camp determined to make the best of it and actually had a pretty great day. That is until nighttime. The dogs were literally up all night barking. Snowflake was right next to our tent. We got no sleep. We actually ended up having to leave at 1 am. When I say constant barking I truly mean constant. We came back the next morning packed up and left. This is a great place for a day trip if you can get past the lack of covid precautions and the mocking hosts. The alpacas are friendly and so is snowflake, but definitely not a campsite. 2/10 do not recommend.

We do a family camping trip every September, but had trouble finding a place to camp this year. We then discovered Hipcamp, and Camping with Alpacas. We had a great times. Jan and Dave were great hosts. And Snowflake was too fun. We did make felt sheets and wanted to do some experimenting with the techniques. Dave and Jean were more than willing to let us try different things. They were very gracious and generous with their time. It was all great fun.
