Our 2.5 acre property is located just outside the small village of Millbank. The large lawn area is great for camping, campfires, playing games and relaxing while watching the horse and buggies of the local Amish and Mennonites go ambling by in a manner that speaks to a time gone by. The Perth Harvest Pathway section of the G2G rail trail is quite literally in the backyard. for hiking , bird watching and biking. We have an outdoor shower and large sink in a shed attached to the rear of our garage. It is easy to identify as it has a large white x on the door. We also have a few camping items such as a grill and a few cooking pots and pans in the small shed near the G2G trailHike or Bike to our campsite, pitch your tent, and enjoy a nice warm shower after a day on the trail. Then relax by the campfire while enjoying the quiet country atmosphere with the local Amish and Mennonites passing by in their horse and buggies. There is an outhouse at the trail entrance along with a rst area complete with cold drinks and snacks for sale. The outdoor shower and large sink for water supply and dish washing is located at the rear of our garage and is easily identified as the door with the x design. The well known Elizabeth Watson Flower and Artisan store, Zehr's Country Market and Anna Maes Restaurant are all within easy walking distance.

Easy camp. A little open-- it's actually a labelled rest stop on the trail-- so it's highly visible from the trail. As a solo female camper I felt a bit exposed, so I just tried to tuck my tend back a bit from the trail. The plus side of the visibility is that it was rediculously easy to find! And it could be social as well I'd you choose to just hang around the seating area by the trail!

I don't think we can say enough about John and Miriam, genuinely the salt of the earth kind've people that were so flexible and kind when we needed to change our reservation a day (we overestimated our ability to make it to Guelph on the G2G). Everyone should make this a MUST STOP on their G2G ride. This stop made our trip and we are hopeful to see John and Miriam again, if not in Milbank, then when we return the favour on a visit to where we're from. 100/10!
