Camping is the absolute best way to surround yourself with the natural beauty of Oregon. Whether you hike into the backcountry and sleep under the stars, snuggle up in a tent at a campground, or stay in a cabin in the woods, it’s a nice respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. So, what could possibly make camping even better? Camping with goats! Check out this farm where you can camp and hang out with goats.
Willow-Witt Ranch is a gorgeous, peaceful, 440-acre ranch in Ashland. Founded in 1985, it produces meat and dairy products, and also invites visitors for hiking, birding, goat hiking, and overnight stays. Once you visit this place, you'll never want to leave!
You'll find Willow-Witt Ranch at 658 Shale City Rd., Ashland, Oregon 97520.
If you're looking for a place to relax and recharge, you've definitely found it. Lace up your hiking boots and head out on one of several hiking trails on the property. The ranch is also surrounded by BLM land, which offers even more hiking.
Goats make the perfect hiking companions. They're smart and sure-footed, and they can carry up to 65 pounds of gear. They also tread lightly, which minimizes damage to the land.
You'll definitely want to take a guided tour of the ranch so you can meet the goats, chickens, and other animals. The 1.5-hour tour also shows off the ranch's amazing off-grid systems, and tells you about the history of this land.
You'll fall in love with Willow-Witt Ranch from the moment you set eyes on it. Why not stay for a night or two? You can pitch a tent at the campground, or enjoy a slightly more luxurious stay in one of the wall tents.
Make your meals at the communal cookhouse. It offers four stoves, an oven, sinks, and prep tables. It's also outfitted with pantry essentials and all the cookware and utensils you'll need to prepare a delicious meal.
