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.Welcome to Camp Willowbrook! Our bunkie, The Bighorn is nestled between 2 hills just north of the barn and faces Willow creek. The hills create a perfect little valley, completely private and secluded with only a century old barn to silhouette the landscape. 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 nearby river also has a small swimming hole if you are looking to cool off. You can take a walk around the property or use the nearby long walking trail which can take you right to Grand Valley or all the way to Author if you are adventurous. You can spend a relaxing evening in the sauna, then cool yourself off in the creek or use our soaking trough. Join us for an evening meal or just enjoy the fire in our Kota Hut. You can bike or hike into Grand Valley where there are restaurants, a grocery store, and a liquor store! Only 3-4 kilometers away! Access to hiking trails and Belwood Lake 10-15 minute drive. Luther Marsh is also close by for nature enthusiasts. Orangeville is also about 15-20 minutes away for all of your camping needs! Please bring your own linens!

Country Cabin on the Creek

Perfectly Peaceful

This place was saved as a potential trip so was happy when my friend booked it for us to go to. It was exactly what was needed for our short little mental health get away. The additions of the hot tub sauna and Kota just added to the experience. It was chilly at night so suggest getting wood for thw little stice when booking in cooler weather/fall. Honestly my only regret of this trip is that I couldn't stay longer. Thank you for an amazing experience.

Book Now!!!

I loved everything about this place, the quietness, the privacy, the creek, the farm animals but mostly Angie and Bob. Their warmth, openness and kind hearts. Felt at home. Then there was Chase and Kono, their dogs, great personalities - making me want to add one to my family. The conversations in the Kota and outside. Overall, l had an amazing experience- bragged so much about it my city man husband, that he wants to go and experience it too - he said l had a glow and looked really relaxed.

Angie is very accommodating to us. She tour us around the land. As first timer, she tell everything what to do. If you want just to connect with the nature, I highly recommend their place. You will have friendly, playful and handsome companion, kono.

Perfect

We had an amazing time !! The all experience is great, the setting next to the creek, the dinner in the hut, relaxing in the hot bath and the steam room. Angie was so welcoming and was making sure everything was good for us to have a good time.
