Not as described; A wee bit creepy.
This place was not at all as described. First off there was zero communication or instructions, we got there after it had already started to get dark. We pulled into what basically looked like a parking lot and were confused so we called the host to verify that we were in the right place and he basically said to just park where ever. There were not actually "camp sites", it was kinda a park where you want. We finally found out that we could drive through the gate at the back of the parking lot looking area to an open field. It wasn't until we were getting set up that we realized that we were in the alpaca/llama felid. There was poop everywhere, so I would not recommend with dogs. The ad says that there is potable water, Showers, wifi laundry, picnic tables and cooking equipment available none of these things, There was a porta potty available.
All in all it was not terrible I would say if you have a busy day and are going to get in late and leave early could be a good option if nothing else is available.

Alpacas were fun!
Interesting place.
Zero signs. No one to talk to.
I just pulled in and set up my tent, assuming if i was in the wrong spot, someone would tell me.
You’re basically sitting in the field of a little alpaca farm.
I loved it!
Porta potty was available.
Could not find the water spout.
I would visit again. Cheap place to sleep, no frills.

SCAM
This place is not a campground at all. The owner really doesn't worry about keep it nice. There was nobody to host us and the owner didn't respond our messages. The grass is high. Llamas poo everywhere.
Actually this is a scam.

Random gem
This place is very random and a bit of a gem, but if you want a place to be left alone then this is the place. Except no instructions for when you get there, and to be a bit thrown off that it is a meditation centre upon arrival. Once you get settled you are in a field that you will at some point realize is the llama/ alpaca field. They will come close to you, but they are harmless. It is pet friendly but I would recommend putting your dog on leash if you have a dog that would run at them. The highway is nearby, but it becomes white noise. There is a clean porta potty available. Apparently you can go in the house to shower, but there were no instructions so it was all a bit unknown. There is an active meditation in the barn on Sundays so you do see a bit of activity then. The stars and open field and cute llamas were nice, I’d come back again for a quick camp getaway.

Great stay!
At first, I really wasn’t sure of the place. When I arrived, the host was not there and he did not respond to my previous messages. There was no indication whatsoever, but then we talked to a tenant there and she answered some questions for us. We parked the car and we brought our tent in the field, which was really nice with the alpacas. We spent a great time there, it was really beautiful. Be careful with the coyotes though, there is A LOT and they scream like crazy (they seemed so close to our tent). But overall, I really liked my stay there. :)

Overall we had a great experience. Camping in a field of wildflowers with alpaca grazing was great! There was a lot of highway noise and train horns throughout the night. There were a few hiccups with check-in. The host didn’t reply to messages through HipCamp the day before or day of and the site wasn’t clearly marked. The potable water is not easily accessible, you need to ask the host. The picnic table isn’t in the campsite area but shared with the retreat center which is also on the property. Thanks for the stay!
