The Farm
4 sites · RVs, Tents15 acres · Brant, ON
It was 1984 when John found his ‘diamond in the rough’, 20 acres with an orchard on the outskirts of Brantford.
O.K., so the house was nothing to write home about but perfect for building a construction yard…no neighbors except for the family across the road that used their property to build log homes.
By 1987 the old house was gone, a new one was being built and a shop for working on heavy equipment had been located about 200 ft. from Dr. the back door.
It wasn’t until 1996 that things changed very much.
Yes, the property around the house had benefitted from a wide array of trees and shrubs that John saved from the construction/demolition jobs he had done and that still thrive today but no big projects (except for equipment purchases) were ongoing.
A chance meeting with the neighbor across the road one day resulted in the following dinner conversation, ‘How was your day’ I chirped. ‘Not bad, so-and-so didn’t come in; the truck broke down and I took it for repair; I bought the property across the road, and oh, yeah I’ll need a ride after dinner to pick up the truck’ was John’s casual reply. ‘What was that’? I pressed. ‘Yes, I need a ride after dinner to pick up the truck’ he repeated with a bit more volume. Of course like anyone, I had questions, ‘Do you want peas or corn with dinner’? ‘What time do you want to go to get the truck’?
‘The property across the road’, 10 acres, still has the 4 storey barn with its twin tiled silos which was built in 1914 and the big white house with wrap around porch that once was home to a Doctor and his family. Built so the Doctor could see his patients in the front with the family living in the back was very common in the day.
Things remained relatively peaceful until 2000 when after studying alpacas for more than 6 years I bought our first three.
Back in 2000 alpacas and llamas were not frequently seen on farms and because they could been seen from the road they received A LOT of attention.
People driving by would stop and ask about them, ask if they could take a picture or two and that was when I would hear over and over again ‘You have a beautiful place here, I wish I/we could stay’.
Well, if you want to visit and stay in the city it’s doable, we call it a hotel. But visiting a farm and staying well, that isn’t so easy.
Each year we would see more and more families coming to ‘The Farm’ as they would call it.
Some came to see the alpacas and horses, some came for a stroll and to check out the horse drawn milk and bread delivery wagons, some to have family birthday parties, others to have engagement/wedding/Christmas card pictures…and so many asked if there was any way they could spend a day or two.
In 2021 during a conversation with a friend I mentioned we were in the process of gutting the 1100 sq. ft. space downstairs and turning it into an Airbnb! Right away she said, ‘I don’t know why you don’t have a Hipcamp? You’ve got that great area by the new barn that Hipcampers would love’!
After a little investigation I found out what a Hipcamp was…and as they say, the rest is future.

Greener Pastures Eco Farm
4 sites · RVs, Tents75 acres · Woodstock, ON
Our farming adventure began in the Spring of 2015 on a 15 acre farm. In 2020 we moved to a 75-acre farm just outside of Woodstock, Ontario.
Carl's childhood passion of animal husbandry was given a new purpose when our family made a conscious decision to change the way we related to our food. We began a family quest to eat locally and sustainably. As our little farm grew we developed relationships with our greater community and Greener Pastures was born!
As our farming adventure continues, we are loving that each day brings new opportunities for learning.
We invite you to join us as we continue to seek greener pastures!
While here, be sure to visit the On-Farm Shoppe for fresh eggs, meats, and other great local products.

Camp Willowbrook
6 sites · Lodging95 acres · Amaranth, ON
We purchased this farm in 1998 from the previous farmer who had owned it since 1929. The train line ran right by the gate where the Kota hut now sits and would drop cattle right there to be finished and sold later at the Toronto Stockyards. Our barn was built in 1890 with the old farmhouse located across the creek. Two creeks meet the Grand River on our farm. The bunkie is situated north of the barn and faces Willow creek. During the summer the creek gets quite shallow but there are a couple of pools that work nicely for a float with our river tubes. The river also has a small swimming hole. The bunkie is nestled between 2 hills which creates a natural little valley. Campers can take a walk around the property or use the nearby long walking trail. New this spring, campers will be able to enjoy the firewood sauna, located close to the bunkie and nestled in a private spot near the creek.

T's Pond
2 sites · Lodging29 acres · Port Colborne, ON
Like most folks who’ve been bitten by the water ski bug, I dreamed of having my own lake and when I met my life partner Harald, an elite slalom skier, my search began in earnest. By a combination of good timing and good luck, I was able to make that dream come true and in the spring of 2014 I acquired this land with the hopes of building my dream water ski lake on it. 7 years later, we have a thriving water ski club and are constantly making improvements to the site. We now have decided to add some sites for rent to share this incredible property with others outside the water ski community.
Site #1 is a small cabin that sleeps 3 and site #2 is a small houseboat that has been converted to a bunkie.
Onsite activities include use of a canoe and paddleboard. Use of a kid's swingset and olympic trampoline. Swimming and fishing.
Pets are welcome, campfires are permitted.

Star Hosts in Burlington
Camping near Burlington guide
Overview
A trip to Burlington can mean a visit to a big-box store, but it’s best to view this small city west of Toronto as a jumping-off point for adventure. Most impressively, more than half of the city is protected rural space, and we’re not talking just about your average parks—Conservation Halton alone has protected spaces with attractions that range from a 15th-century Iroquois village at Crawford Lake to a Raptor’s Centre that educates visitors about birds of prey at Mountsberg Conservation Area. Geological highlights include the escarpment cliffs, waterfalls, wetlands, and Lake Ontario itself, all prime for camping.
Where to go
Royal Botanical Gardens
The Royal Botanical Gardens protect over 2,400 acres of wetland, fields, forest, and escarpment ecosystems. Explore its more than 27 km of scenic walking trails, admire the garden exhibitions, or take part in a workshop during a daytime trip away from your campsite.
Conservation Halston Areas
Rattlesnake Point, Hilton Falls, Mount Nemo, Crawford Lake, Robert Edmondson, Mountsberg, and Kelso are the seven conservation areas managed by Conservation Halton. Totaling more than 10,500 acres, each has its own points of interest and all have hiking trails to explore.
Bronte Creek Provincial Park
Nearby Bronte Creek Provincial Park is a favourite for families, featuring a large outdoor pool, children’s farm, a play barn, hiking trails, and seasonal interpretive programs.
Great Lakes Waterfront Trail
The Great Lakes Waterfront Trail stretches 3,600 km and connects 155 communities along the Canadian shores of the Great Lakes. With eight waterfront parks, a historic lift, and a scenic beach, the Burlington section is particularly notable.
When to go
Each season in Burlington has its outdoor charms. Taste the sweet sugar water at the region’s maple syrup festivals in spring, hike and mountain bike in summer, or enjoy cross-country skiing in winter. Fall is the most scenic season for camping, when the region’s hardwood forests put on their colourful show of oranges, reds, and yellows.
Know before you go
- Because of its proximity to urban centres, Burlington can draw crowds. Summer and fall weekends are busy, especially if the weather is nice, so it’s best to come during the week if heading into town.
- Traffic is slow during rush hour, when the Gardiner Expressway can be particularly nightmarish. Avoid morning and evening commuting times and check the best route before you go.
