Brooksdale Valley Ranch

6 sites · RVs, Tents166 acres · Mervin, SK
Brooksdale Valley Ranch was formally Valley Glen Farm founded and settled by my great grandfather William Trevor Burroughs in 1930. He was the first in the community to raise purebred Yorkshire pigs he had shipped over from England. My Grand Father was the first in the community to grow Canola formally called Rapeseed. My Father was raised here but with this quarter was deemed no water to be found my Farther had purchased another farm 7 miles east where I was raised. I always has a love for this place and had it in my mind to make this my home every since I was a little boy. You will also find historical country school on this quarter it was restored 30yrs ago. My father and his 2 sisters went to school here and I went to Sunday school here. Life has never been easy here but with the love of the land and its breath taking view makes it all worth while. So come on out and relax a spell and explore and enjoy the natural and it simplicity and all it has to offer you won't be disappointed.Learn more about this land:Our campsite offers beautiful views across the valley and has a freshwater spring running through the property. There is plenty of wildlife (birds, deer and moose).Close proximity to Turtle Lake for excellent fishing (Walleye & Northern Pike).You can BBQ your catch while enjoying the sunshine.
