1 night at Poplar Grove Family Farm

Lovely secluded RV site with everything you need.. water, electricity and excellent wifi. Quirky little walks with surprises around every corner. It was raining while I stayed and the gravel was a good surface. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Weekend Trip to Poplar Grove Family Farm

We loved camping at Lisa’s place. It feels very private and very safe. There is everything a camper needs. Lisa communicated very well and there is a beautiful trail all the way around the property to small play area where all members of our family had so much fun. Lisa was so nice and understanding when our dog started running across her fields and around her property. I felt so bad but she even helped to catch him.

2 nights at Mountainaire Campground and RV Park

Nice place, beautiful view of the night sky (if not, cloudy!), and we were isolated. There was a little bit of noise in the morning from dump trucks a few hundred meters away, but we didn't mind. Bring loonies for shower ($1/7 minutes) and washing was loonies plus quarters (I think it was 2.50 for a wash, but I didn't do any washing while there)

25 nights at Decourcy Meadows

I love this spot. Quiet and serene in nature. Hosts are the best - what more can be said. Just love it.

Weekend Trip to Mountainaire Campground and RV Park

We had a tough time getting there with the ferry and all, but once we got to the campsite and settled in, it was amazing. The site was pretty secluded. The people that were there were all really nice. The area was covered in snow which made it beautiful. My wife and I had a great time snow camping.

1 night at Poplar Grove Family Farm

We had a fantastic stay! The power and WiFi were great! The site was very private and surrounded by lots of lovely trees. Lisa is a very helpful host, we would highly recommend!

Amenities include a picnic table, wifi and a fire ring and some fire wood supplied at no cost. If there is a campfire ban in effect we will provide a propane campfire.

There are 3 artisans on Decourcy Drive. The world-famous Crow and Gate pub is 4 km from here and the historic Wheat Sheaf Hotel (Pub) is about 5 km.
