We stayed at Hidden Pastures last weekend and had a great time. Loved seeing the alpacas and the campsite was really well taken care of. It's a lovely farm with friendly owners. We also made friends with the kitty that came hang out with us at night. It was a great experience and I totally recommend it.

Fiber Farm, Your Tent & More!
Absolutely fantastic, unique, and memorable! Got to walk around with Mike and feed the animals in the morning, and recieved a gracious super information lesson about fibers and weaving from Natalie. One of the most fun camping experiences I've ever had. I got to fred a blueberry begal to a yak : D

A perfect place for an easy getaway from the city - and with some adorable company too! I have to say, it was a pretty unique experience to wake up surrounded by a herd of grazing alpacas!

I recommend this place for anyone who wants a quiet weekend away from the city (it’s so close to NYC too)!
• hosts were friendly
• real showers/toilets (bring your own towel)
• alpacas (and other animals) were REALLY cute to look at
• good cell service (though I don’t know why you’d need it)
• camp sites (at least the one I was at) had a campfire area!

We had a really good time at this camp, however I was surprised when we arrived to find that we would be sleeping in the fenced in area WITH the alpacas. I guess I assumed we would be outside of their area. It ended up being really great and fun to watch the animals, but should be made clear on the listing.

The farm tour was fantastic. We were able to get to know the animals, and were pleasantly surprised to learn that the 800-lb male yak wasn't as mean as he looked. He was sweet and loved attention. In fact you'll find no shortage of fun, quirky animals – there's enough diversity for an ark. And the toilet/shower were a huge perk. Only pro-tip is to bring a headlamp to help you navigate at night in case you need to use the facilities. We almost stepped on a frog!

This was an amazing experience! Everyone working the farm were super friendly and helpful. Being surrounded by alpacas while you cook over your fire pit in your own private area was unreal. The hand crafted alpaca items in the shop were masterfully crafted. The site was clean, the animals were friendly, overall we highly recommend this place. Full heartedly. Cheers!

Had a great time at Fiber Farm! Site #1 was awesome, open field where the alpacas graze all day. It was nice to have access to a real bathroom and fridge. The best part was the Tibetan yaks :)

This is a great experience. The owners are lovely. Their farm is small and charming. We camped in site 1, out in the open, and as a bonus, they were kind enough to keep Alpacas out at night. It was surreal but fun for us and our boys. They have 3 cats, one which is more like a dog who spent the whole night hanging with us. He was so adorable. They also have a Pyrennees dog who keeps watch for predators. Cloudy is his name and he is equally beautiful and sweet. If you want in the woods camping, they have that too. Highly highly recommend.

This was our second time here at Hidden Pastures Fiber Farm. We stayed at campsite 1 and loved seeing the alpacas roam outside our tent as well the proximity to the house (bathrooms). This is a great farm with wonderful host. It is great if you have small children and want to start them off with some easy camping.

We were looking for a new camping experience for the family (two girls, ages 11 and 13, and boy, age 5), something unique that the kids would remember and where we could bring our dog. We stayed at campsite #3, which is tucked away in the woods and adjacent to where the alpacas stay. The bathroom facilities were clean and a short stroll away. The alpacas and rest of the animals were super friendly. At times, they seemed more domesticated than our own dog. :) We did the tour of the farm and fiber class and they were well worth it to really get a better understanding of the different types of animals on the farm and what a fiber farm actually does. Mike was a very helpful and gracious host. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend it.

This was a great spot to spend the night during an impromptu road trip. We stayed at Site #2. It’s secluded and private but still close enough to the bathrooms/kitchen area and, even better, the adorable alpacas and other farm animals. The host even let us help out with feeding the alpacas! We brought our dog with us and didn’t have any issues.

This was the first time we've gone camping as an entire family /w my wife and 2 boys (ages 6 and 8). We went with friends of ours -- another family /w 3 kids, ages 4-9. We had a really amazing time during our two night stay. Our family stayed on the pasture site where the animals (mostly alpacas, but also some sheep, a llama, a goose, 2 dogs, and a cat) can roam freely. The alpacas, llama, and sheep keep to themselves. The dogs and the cat are super social and friendly--they often came to our site to get some attention. :)
There's only 4 camp sites, each supporting 4-6 people. During this particular weekend, my family and our friends were the only people on the farm. I'm sure even with two other groups, it'd still be pretty quiet. There isn't a ton to do on the farm but there is a beautiful stream in the woods on the grounds that our kids really enjoyed playing in. It's a really short drive to a diner, beer store, and other amenities for your convenience. We drove out to Dingmans Falls which was beautiful and really easy for people of all ages and abilities--it was only a ~20 minute drive.
I highly recommend adding the tour to your visit. We had a local fiber artist come in and do an easy class for the kids. Mike (the host) also showed us around to the different animals on the farm.
In full transparency, as other reviews have stated, there is alpacas feces around the pasture area. It really didn't sour our experience -- alpacas tend to go poo in the same area and you learn to avoid it. It didn't seem to attract that many flies and there wasn't noticeable odor. Unless you're a clean freak, I think you'll learn to deal with it and it's a small inconvenience to deal with for the amazing experience of having these beautiful animals roam around your site. If you really don't think you'd like it, pick one of the sites in the woods.
An amazing place for families with small children, especially for those who might not be "hard core" campers. It's not exactly "glamping" but the little things like having access to a real bathroom, fridge, and proximity to stores can make a huge difference.

Natalie and Mike were great! We chose campsite 2 and while it was a bit muddy from the rain it was okay, not bad. The site is close to a small stream/river that Isn’t as close as we thought it would be which would’ve been nice. Place is swarming with mosquitos as others have warned so come prepared.
We had four tiki torches burning bitefighter fluid laced with cedar and citronella as well as 2 citronella candles and bug spray so we were more than okay. The nice thing about our site was the trees offered a lot of shade so we didn’t wake up baking under the summer heat.
There are bathrooms and hot showers which was a major plus but being located all the way back at site two meant it was a bit of a walk. They’re located where the Fiber shop and farms are. The apalcas and sheep were so adorable and were free to roam during the day. If you chose the campsite closer towards the farm, you would be directly camping with the farm animals and they are super tame and friendly.
Unfortunately our experience was a little tarnished as there was a whole group of about 38 campers (!!!) who were extremely obnoxious and self-entitled. To try and get through to the stream, they just took it upon themselves to walk right through our campsite early morning while we were sleeping just to get to the stream and throughout the day kept coming back as if our privacy and our space just didn’t matter. This terrible experience was a product of this rude and obnoxious group and by no means Natalie and Mike’s fault.
Mike was kind enough to come check up on us and apologize for their antics and offered us to come back on the house. It was a kind and generous gesture.
Other than that, experience was great and we had a lot of relaxing done. There was also another campsite not too far away from ours that seemed about the same size if not a little smaller. Site 2 seemed the furthest.

Campsite #1 is the best site. All the animals were amazing. It’s like Jurassic Park without the chance of being eaten. If you can handle some animal poop and flies do it. It was better than I expected.

We had a fantastic time at Hidden Pastures Fiber Farm! We had a camping trip with 3 families of friends with 5 kids in total ranging from 4 months to 5 years old. A couple of us took a great yarn spinning class in the shop and found nearby beautiful creeks to take a hike and dip in the water. Camping with little ones it was great to have access to a fridge and full bathroom. The kids enjoyed seeing a full working farm and running around, sleeping, playing outside.

Took my little cousins camping for the first time, this place was perfect for that! As soon as we arrived at our campsite, we were greeted by the Alpacas! Meeting the farm animals was a lot of fun as well!
The campsite in the open field is great for having the alpacas roam around you if you want that type of experience. Keep in mind, there's 1 tree on that particular site so you'll be in shade for half the day.

My son and I were charmed by the alpacas and the many other animals that rule the property. We became best friends with their kitty at the campfire and breakfast. Natalie's family was a delight. We enjoyed learning about the farm and fiber arts. We stayed at site #1 and watched the moon rise while surrounded by curious, sweet herds. An absolutely delightful adventure.

The farm is gorgeous and all of the animals are so beautiful! We stayed at campsite #2 which was right by the creek and it was wooded, private, super lush, and gorgeous. We set up camp and cooked dinner in the firepit and the whole time was just perfect. It was quite buggy in high summer so just be sure to bring bug spray and you'll be fine. We brought our puppy and she loved the campsite, and when we walked her on leash around the farm, she loved meeting the animals on the farm. What an amazing experience, we would love to come visit again!

The site was great and the hosts were very nice. It was easy to find and they provided a ton of firewood with the firewood purchase option (I'd definitely recommend taking them up on this). The animals were cool to see.

This is our second time staying at Hidden Pastures Fiber Farm. We were here about the same time last year, and absolutely loved it. It’s pretty amazing to camp in a pasture full of alpacas and sheep. The resident cat made friends and hung out with us during our stay. We’ll likely be making this an annual family trek. Thanks!

The alpacas and all the other animals at the Fiber Farm were adorable! It was such a unique experience! We stayed for one night at what I thought was campsite #2 but was labeled #1 so there was a little confusion there but that was the only very minor hitch. The campsite was great, it was nice being so close to the stream and my nephew even caught a tiny fish! The short walk back to the house to use the bathroom was perfect, not too close but not too far and you could stop by the animals on the way. The bathrooms in the house could use some care but were fine for our needs. Overall, would definitely recommend for a nice little camping trip!
