Our goal is to maintain a female-only herd, carefully breeding crías that embody the best genetics for future generations. We place emphasis on producing females with both a gentle, friendly temperament and exceptional fiber quality. By being intentional in this process, we not only strengthen our herd but also support the long-term vision of offering the highest-quality alpaca fiber and the most welcoming ranch experience possible.

Alpaca fiber is considered a Class 1 luxury fiber, prized for its softness, strength, and natural luster. Unlike many other fibers, it does not require harsh chemicals to process, making it one of the most eco-friendly and sustainable options available. It’s naturally hypoallergenic, lightweight yet warmer than wool, and breathable, bringing comfort, coziness, and timeless quality to every piece made from it.

At Casacampo, we are determined to make this little ranch mighty. That begins with developing a thoughtful fiber program, not only through our own herd but also in partnership with other American-raised farms. Together, we hope to create a collection of high-end alpaca goods designed to bring lasting warmth and everyday luxury into the lives of others.

Our alpacas give us more than soft fiber and endless smiles, they also provide one of the most sustainable fertilizers around. Their manure, lovingly called “alpaca gold,” is low in nitrogen, which means it can be applied directly to flower beds without burning plants. We use it to enrich our pastures, nourish our blooms, and bring life back to our sandy soil, helping create a stronger base for each new season’s harvest.

For now, we’re keeping this resource on the ranch, but one day we hope to share it with serious gardeners as another source of sustainable Casacampo income.

If you’ve visited Casacampo, you may have noticed a much larger, banana-eared “alpaca”… surprise! That’s no alpaca—it’s our llama. Meet Pisco, the prize-winning Suri llama who joined our herd when our resident foxes made it hard for the girls to relax. Pisco quickly stepped in as their guardian, keeping watch over the pastures.

He’s significantly bigger than the alpacas, endlessly curious, and very much his own character. Most days you’ll see him patrolling the perimeters like a watchful sentinel—or walking right up to check if you brought him snacks.

This ranch is truly a family passion project. A project that took, tenacity, patience, and a little serendipity to come to life. Finally in spring of 2025 the alpacas moved in, and that summer doors opened and guests began to arrive. When you visit you will likely see our family, our moms, dads, cousins, siblings, nephews and even some close friends. All working with heart and sometimes just enjoying the ranch as well.

Tucked just outside the energy of Wisconsin Dells, Casacampo is a private, family-run ranch where life slows down and something special unfolds.

Here, you’ll find more than alpacas and pretty views, you’ll find curated experiences designed to help you reconnect with the people you love. From hands-on ranch tours, yoga outdoors, to wine tastings in our cellar lounge, everything we offer is intimate, intentional, and full of heart.

Stay overnight in our thoughtfully restored farmhouse and bunkhouse. Host your wedding, retreat, or private event in one of our signature spaces. Or simply stop by for an unforgettable day—surrounded by beauty, alpacas, and the kind of warmth that feels like home.

Casacampo is where simplicity meets something extraordinary. All in a slow pace of simple pleasures.
