More than one farm activity
Three connected operations in one place
Kendall and Marie operate Sandy River Alpacas in the foothills of western Maine. The farm raises and breeds alpacas for fleece, but the animals also remain visible throughout the camping and event sides of the property.
Sandy River Camping and Sandy River Outdoor Weddings & Events are divisions of the same operation, not unrelated businesses. Together they give Sandy River a different role among alpaca farms in Maine: it is a working farm where guests can stay overnight or hold a gathering.
Across the property
Farm, camping, and events

Camping informationCelebrations

Event informationStay with the alpacas
A campground tied directly to farm life
Sandy River Camping spreads overnight accommodations across the property rather than separating guests from the farm. Interested campers may be able to learn about daily animal care, fleece work, halter handling, or walking with an alpaca, depending on current arrangements and farm routines.

Farm experiences are for camping guests
The farm website does not describe these as unrestricted public tours or walk-in activities.
Outdoor celebrations
Weddings and gatherings beside the Sandy River
The event division uses the farm's open landscape, river setting, gardens, and mountain views for weddings and other gatherings. Alpacas remain part of the character of the property, while the hosts work directly with groups planning private celebrations or organized events.

Alpacas, fleece, and a varied farm shop
The farm breeds alpacas and harvests their fleece. Its shop carries alpaca clothing and home goods alongside smaller handmade pieces produced on the farm, keeping the retail side connected to both the herd and Marie's craft work.
