Description
Steel and Wool Sheep Camp is snuggled into the oak brush on the "back 40" of our property beside a livestock pond full of goldfish. After a short walk on a dirt road, pulling your belongings in a wagon we provide, you'll find a quonset hut (the steel) and a sheep wagon (the wool). You'll also find everything you need to enjoy peace and privacy in a farmhouse setting. Come early to enjoy dinner in the outdoor kitchen; then hike a little up the trail to watch the sunset over the Plateau Valley; end the night beside the pond gazing at the stars.
The Sheep Camp is walk-in only, which we think is part of the adventure! You’ll drive past our garage, park your vehicle at the end of the field, and load your belongings into the wagon provided. It's a short walk up a wide dirt trail to the Sheep Camp. Just bring a change of clothes and your food; we'll provide all the other “camp” essentials. Four-wheel drive is required in snowy weather.
We've divided the quonset hut in half. The back half features a master bedroom with queen-size bed, fold-up children's mattress, dresser, and cabinet with extra linens and towels. The front half features a covered outdoor farm-style kitchen and dining area, fully stocked with drinkable water, mini fridge, BBQ and cookstove, pots and pans, and plates and silverware.
The sheep wagon includes a small cook stove for chilly nights or baking bread, a small bench for sitting or sleeping, and twin bunk beds. We imagine the parents enjoying the quiet of the quonset bedroom and the children loving the adventure of the sheep wagon, but you can make your sleeping arrangements any way you'd like. Both the steel and wool are yours to use during your stay.
Sheep Camp can comfortably accommodate 4 adults and 2 young children (or 2 adults and a handful of children).
A short walk away is the outdoor bathroom facility, which includes a waterless toilet and a solar outdoor showering system. Please bring a pair of water shoes if you'd like to try the outdoor shower. We provide towels, soap, and shampoo.
Sheep Camp has no internet, electricity, or running water, but it does have a propane wall heater in the master bedroom, solar lights, and a solar-powered charging station for your electronics. We also provide a propane fire pit with chairs and an assortment of games. Several hiking trails begin right at camp, and a short walk away are stunning views of the Plateau Valley.
We get good cell service and a data connection on T-mobile from the Sheep Camp. In addition, high speed internet (and coffee and continental breakfast) is available at the Sunroom, which is a short walk north of the parking area.
