The campsite is private and surrounded by wildlife, making it a peaceful retreat for campers. Visitors appreciate the friendly host, Jen, who is knowledgeable and passionate about the animals she cares for.

Shepherd’s Rest RV & Tent Camping

This was my first time using Hipcamp & Shepard’s Rest set the bar high! My husband and I enjoyed two evenings of private tent camping with our dogs. There were bathroom amenities and a fire lit. There were also paths cut out that we walked our dogs around a few times. It provided the rest we sorely needed.

Camping at Jen’s goat rescue was so fun! The animals were super friendly, and we had a great time meeting them all. The campsite felt very secluded and we had fun exploring the trails and sitting around the campfire. Jen was also very kind and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back!

The camping is private and there's some mowed trails you can walk. There is a creek near by that attracts a lot of if deer. The goat rescue was a lot of fun, we got to meet all of the animals while Jen explained the operation and all of the animals names, history and personalities. Will come back!

Shepherd’s Rest RV & Tent Camping

Loved my stay at Shepherd's Rest! Jen was so warm and lovely and gave me a very generous tour of the goats at meal time, the outside enclosures, the sheep, the llama AND some fresh marionberries off the tree. The campsite was a very sweet grassy spot in the trees with a camp toilet and fire pit area. It felt safe and private and I fell asleep to the hooting of owls and the twinkling of fireflies- super dreamy.
