About
Escape the ordinary and roll into a serene RV camping retreat in the embrace of the Western Catskill Mountains! In the fresh New York air, the East Branch of the Delaware River flows with opportunityperfect for anglers dreaming of trout-filled waters and the soft paddle strokes of kayakers. Where else can you combine the tranquility of RV camping with the charm of gentle alpacas and llamas as your neighbors?
Our idyllic 10-acre farmstead offers the unique companionship of 5 alpacas and 3 llamas, crafting an unforgettable backdrop for your outdoor adventure. With level parking spaces tailored for two RVs, this countryside nook delivers the essentials, including comfy chairs, a fire pit for your campfire tales, and the convenience of pull-through access on a 'U' shaped drivewayensuring ease for your home on wheels.

Your love for covered bridges will be satiated with five historic structures nearby, the closest a mere 45-minute excursion away. Fuel your journey with local flavors from nearby farm stands showcasing an array of fresh, locally grown produce.
While quaint towns offer savory bites at local restaurants, breweries, and distilleries, or you can swing the day away on nearby golf courses, every trail hiked and path cycled is a memory made. And while the internet may seem a world away, stay connected with available Wi-Fi service for posting those perfect alpaca selfies!
RV camping guests with canine companions can enjoy a leisurely walk on a mowed path, though we request furry friends remain leashed and at a respectful distance from our farm's fuzzy residents. For those yearning for a tangible piece of this rustic paradise, the farm store brims with goods crafted from our alpacas' fleecefrom cozy socks to adorable stuffed animals, and even crafting materials like rug yarn and roving.
The tranquility of the countryside does come with a note of caution: our pastoral peace may sometimes be interrupted by the distant hum of weekend adventure-seekers. If you seek a pastoral stopover without the city's bustle, this picturesque haven provides a safe and delightful respite.
Contribute to the ongoing joy and care of our alpaca friends through donations, and embrace this rare chance to bond with nature's gentle giants.
