We offer space to park or pitch your tent. I've been at this for 13 years, so there's not a lot I haven't seen. BYO sleeping arrangement.
We have a hot shower and restroom facilities, which right now is a bright blue porta potty. It is serviced each Monday.
Go-Fast campers are just up the road. We've hosted many.
Car campers and vans are welcome as well.
I don't do homeless camps or man-camps.
Yes, I've seen it all!
\*A NOTE ABOUT YOUR DOG\* Don't surprise me with them. We are animal lovers, but this is a working farm. They must be ON LEASH at all times and you are expected to clean up after them. This includes poop and hair. Remember, I've seen it all!
Farm=mud & manure so it smells like a farm.
Located on a historic farm just minutes from town. We have lived here all of our lives and work the land we live on.
Our farm includes 2 antique shepherd's wagons, a cabin, which are listed on Airbnb.
Serenity Sheep Farm Stay and The Wool Mill.
**The space**
This listing is for up to 3 people. Let me know if there are more than that in your party. $10 for each additional person. Please don't surprise me with your pets. We are pet-loving people, but this is also a working farm. I need to know in advance.
We have 2 antique shepherd's wagons for rent as well as a cabin. This tent space is in a field that is shared with them. There is one outhouse and a propane, heat-on-demand shower house as well as a fire pit. All are shared spaces. This tent space is a field on a farm. We have lots of farm animals wandering about. The chickens do roam. We also have Richardson's ground squirrels, more commonly known as gophers, who can dig holes and tear up the ground. With all of that said, we are not a campground per se. We only allow 2 tent guests at a time, so this is not like a large commercial campground. You will share a fire pit with any other guests here on the farm, if there is no burn ban in effect.
We are 8 miles from Belgrade and Yellowstone International Airport, 10 miles from i-90 and 20 miles from downtown Bozeman.
$25 fee to pick up your dog poop!
Quiet, private, not a campground. It's a working farm.
20 minutes from Bozeman.
Guest access
You'll be sharing a composting outhouse and or port-potty and shower house with other guests.
Other things to note
Our bedtime is 9:00 pm. Some days earlier. We realize travel plans change and late arrivals are a part of that. It's common for guests to come in late, so I can give you easy, specific directions to the place in that event. Past 9:00 pm, we sleep! :-)
I've found it best to lay it all out for guests so they know what is expected of them. Someone is always here if you need anything and we are happy to assist, but there's nothing we can do about the weather.
The first wagon on the left on your way in is a farm store. Be sure to check it out and see what all we do in the wool mill.
We live 8 miles from the nearest town. That's part of the charm. Please don't book this and then give a negative feedback for location. It's a farm and we're only 10 minutes from the airport or I-90.
My wife and I stayed here in their wagon over night. We loved it. Best time of our life.
For four years now my wife and I and our four kids have been traveling the country in a motorhome. One experience we have not had in that time was a farm experience where they could get hands on with some animals and see the hard work and responsibility that is required.
While doing some research I found Serenity Sheep Farm Stay that had a variety of farm animals in addition to the full herd of sheep. I made contact with LaVonne to see if she could accommodate a motorhome. At her request we booked as a tent camper and her property was more than sufficient to handle the heavy weight of a motorhome.
As a bonus while messaging with LaVonne I learned she operated a wool processing mill at the farm as well. My wife recently taught our kids the art of crocheting so being able to educate the kids with the entire process of creating yarn from the sheep to final product was just awesome.
Upon arrival, LaVonne was very welcoming and showed us where best to set-up. Shortly after getting settled she checked on us to see if we needed anything and showed us the layout of the farm including the bathroom and shower facilities if we needed them.
LaVonne then invited us to watch her tend to the animals including a baby sheep she is bottle feeding still from a harsh winter birth. I almost forgot this experience was supposed to be for my kids as I think I may have been slightly more excited than I ever expected being around the animals.
The next morning while enjoying coffee our kids were given the opportunity to tour the wool mill and learn all the stages of the process of taking the raw wool product and making it into the various final products desired by LaVonne’s customers.
I could go on and on and on and on and on and on about our experience but to be honest I would imagine everybody’s experience will vary depending on what you are seeking. If you are just wanting to spend a night in the peaceful quiet of the open range then this is definitely your place. If you are looking to get hands on with some animals then that is definitely possible. If you re looking to learn about wool and the processing of it to usable products then this is most definitely your place.
MOST of all if you are looking to be the guests to the most special hosts who make it so easy to have lasting memories that will forever bring a smile then this is definitely your place.
This was a perfect place to stay in our camper van on our road trip. The views of the mountains are gorgeous. Our 5 year old loved being able to see the cows, llama, sheep and deer. The composting toilet is NOT stinky and serves it purpose. The host is very communicative. This is a great experience and absolutely worth checking out.
