We are a 107-acre forest and farm animal rescue. Sleep with the sheep, alpacas, donkeys, potbellied pigs, and rabbits when you pitch your tent or park your camper on our Vermont Farm! Reserve the group site and sleep in the middle of the action! (You do not need a "group" to reserve the group site -- it is just our biggest site and can accommodate groups!). Co-located in the open, grassy area with the free-roaming farm rescues is our RV site. Co-located sites share a community fire ring, so it's a great way to meet and make new friends! Don't have a tent or RV? Spend a magical night in "The Greenhouse" (it's a real, working greenhouse that doubles as accommodations for those looking for a more "glamping" experience). Want a little privacy? Reserve one of our two tricked-out Tent Deck sites (Buddha North and Grandmother Pine), each with its own picnic table, private fire ring, and commercial-grade park grill. Nestled discretely in the forest adjacent to the area where the animals are, you will feel like you are in the middle of nowhere even though you are less than a 5-minute walk from your car! Looking for something a bit more remote and spectacular? Hike a half-mile to the Big Sky Tent Deck. An incredible vista awaits you for a little effort! Need gear? We have it for rent, from cast iron grill baskets and griddles to make cooking over a charcoal grill or fire a breeze to tents to 1- and 2- burner propane stoves to tarps to water containers. We even have an Anker Portable Power Station and Portable Kerosene Heater for rent! Need Supplies? Charcoal? Propane? We've got it. ----- We are a small non-profit (501c3). When you stay with us, rent equipment from us, or take a tour with us, 100% of the money you pay goes directly for the care and feeding of the rescue animals. Thanks for supporting us in making a difference in the lives of neglected, abused, and abandoned farm animals! ----- CAMP FOR FREE WEEKEND SEPT 20-21 2024 Come for the weekend and make a difference in the lives of Rescues. Spend the weekend helping us prep for Winter, maintaining and building fencing, planting daffodils, clearing brush, pitchforking manure (important and necessary work), hoof trimming, painting, and everything in between. Watch the sunset from the Big Sky Tent Deck on the Equinox. Sit around campfires with new friends. Eat great food -- we'll make you dinner each evening! Just (1) message us that you are interested and (2) sign up on the event page on our Facebook profile. ----- CHECK-IN TIME: 3:00 p.m.—7:00 p.m. Please arrive within this time window. If absolutely necessary, you may purchase a check-in extension for $15 in advance or $30 on arrival.

Big Sky Tent Deck

This place is delightful and whimsical. The animals are ridiculous and the location is peak Vermont. My only advice is that the Big Sky tent site is VERY far away, up a steep hill, so it’s good for backpackers but not car campers with heavy gear. Luckily Scott let me stay at a more convenient spot so I didn’t have to schlep all my gear up there!

RV Site

Lynne Barker from MA

We loved camping with the animals at the RV site. Scott was a wonderful and gracious host. We enjoyed the scavenger hunt and hiking trails on this beautiful and serene property. We greatly appreciate Scott’s hospitality and look forward to visiting Willhouby Animal Rescue again.

Thoreau Stream Tent Site

Nice place but be prepared for a HIKE and there’s no service or WiFi once you get to your destination. Owner is very sweet! Had a good time!

Greenhouse

My girlfriend and I very much enjoyed the greenhouse, the rescue animals give a unique feel to this campground and some may even stop by to say “hello” sometimes, such as the group of geese on patrol or an alpaca or two if you stay still enough. Scott was a great host and I would highly recommend a stay.
