Learn more about this land: PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING We have a small area in our Alpaca pasture designated for campers. We are a short drive (2miles) to down town Hermiston. Our ranch has been here since the 1940's and has decreased in size since its days as a potato farm. The Alpacas are shy but curious. They are not dangerous but do not like dogs 🐕‍🦺 and other small animals. (Please keep pets on a leash) We remove the Alpacas and mow the camping areas but please keep in mind that this is a pasture that is used when campers are not present. Please be prepared. This is a working ranch and there will be animals🦙 , bugs🐜 , and poop💩 in the pasture. River Front Park on the Umatilla River is within walking distance and the Columbia River is a short drive. In the summer we have several farms in the area with fresh produce for sale and Blueberry picking just down the road.

Steep the alpaca poo tea bag in 3 - 5 gallons of water for 24-48 hours. I use a 5 gallon bucket. 2. Apply directly to the soil or use as a foliar spray for an instant nutrient boost. 3. Steep a bag up to 2 times. After use, bury the bag and all under a tree or bush for an extra nutrient boost. the bag is biodegradable!

We enjoyed camping among the alpacas, llamas and pot-bellied pigs. While curious, they kept their distance after initially coming over to welcome us and say hello. We were on motorcycles and the animals all seemed unshaken by the noise or movement. The location was easy to find and we were able to come and go as we pleased.

Very easy to get to from the highway. The alpacas and pigs were so fun!! The pigs were so friendly- our kids loved meeting them.

We loved staying with the baby pigs and alpacas! The alpacas were welcome neighbors and this was a lovely space to wait out a heat wave in the shade.

Fantastic place we loved so much that we added a stop on our return trip to stay here again! Being greeted by great hosts (including many alpacas) was such a joy. This will be a a recurring visit for us in the future. Thanks Jennifer and Eric!
