aLPACA TRECKING ANG GLAMPSITES

---

With over 15 years in the alpaca industry.

And a veteran of 6 glamping shows Blackberry Alpacas have probably helped more glamping sites realise their alpaca dream. 

Incorporating alpacas into a gamping site can significantly enhance the overall atmosphere, offer enrichment opportunities, promote sustainability, and create unique marketing angles and most importantly profit.

Alpacas can elevate a simple gamping trip into a memorable experience.

Here are several ways in which integrating alpacas into a camping site can be advantageous. 

Avoid the herd of 8 pet boys for a bargain price of £1,000 or anything similar! These alpacas are always back up for sale within 6 months.

Over the years we have seen the popularity of alpaca trekking soar. Like pets, having the right alpaca is pivotal for the safety and enjoyment of your future trekking customers.

The big mistake we have seen being made over and over again is the buying of alpacas that have been poorly halter trained and that have poor conformation and feet. We always recommend purchasing younger males, less than 2 year old, so they are smaller and easier to handle whilst you train them to deal with customers.

The Blackberry Alapacas is one of the first breeder to sell dedicated trekking alpacas. These trekking alpacas are specially selected from just 4 months of age for their personalities. They are handled and headcollar trained from an earlier age. They also go out trekking, experiencing new situations and meeting new people. 

We can also provide help in setting up every aspect of a trekking business, from supplying the right animals to husbandry, staff training, health and safety, insurance etc.

 Gampers of all ages can enjoy hands-on experiences with alpacas. This interaction can make the trip more memorable, attracting visitors.

Charming and quirky animals like alpacas are highly shareable on platforms like X and Instagram. Campsites can use their social media presence to attract visitors through engaging content.

 Alpacas can serve as an educational tool for children and adults. Learning about their history behavior, care, and the fiber can be both fun and informative.

Spending time with alpacas has been shown to reduce stress and promote relaxation. Alpacas, with their calm demeanor, can offer therapeutic benefits, making the gamping experience more enjoyable.

Just observing and interacting with alpacas, enhancing their connection to nature.

Alpacas can enhance the aesthetic appeal of the camping site. Their presence can make the environment more picturesque and inviting, appealing to nature lovers and attract local wildlife, adding to the overall outdoor experience.

Here at the Blackberry we provide 24/7 help and support for new alpaca owners all across the UK and Europe.

We have the time to let you be 'hands-on' with our alpacas, getting to know and love these wonderful creatures as much as we do. We can advise you on every step of your farm set-up, help you select and find the right alpacas for you - whatever your requirements - we don't just sell alpacas we teach you how to look after and feel confident with your alpacas. We are more than happy to continue supporting you as much or as little as you would like once our alpacas have become yours. We love to visit and see how the alpacas are getting on and give you any advice or support you need with matings, birthing, weaning and all the big events in an alpaca's life!
