Looking for a private farm campground with 30 amp? We have a lovely organic farm, run by my Canadian husband. I myself am a Dutch journalist and oil painter.

We also have fire wood (10,-) if needed. * Oil painting courses per hour if you wish. * Enjoy the experience of a idyllic, cozy farm campground. LOCATION - Right in the 'Banana Belt' as they call our region (lots of sunshine) - Close to the 401 (but not too close) - Close to town (but not too close) - Close to the popular attractions like Rondeau Park (but not too close) ;) At our organic farm we like to give our campers lots of space so each camper can enjoy waking up by the sounds of the birds and a stunning sunrise. FACILITIES We have a beautiful organic farm and a few spots for you to stay alongside (or in) our fields. You really get off grid here. We have water to fill up your tank and 30 amp electricity. There's wifi near the house. And for a small fee you can get wood for a campfire. For swimming we recommend the beautiful beaches in Rondeau Park, only a few minutes away!

Site 1 - Farm Camp Palmyra

It was wonderful camping on Minke's land. So peaceful and quiet. I enjoyed the 2 hour art lesson and look forward to continuing creating. It was unfortunate that we stayed during some of the hottest summer weather so far. We did enjoy the public beach Minke suggested and it was just perfect for both us and for our dogs first experience by the lake. Thanks for a great first Hipcamp experience!

A little piece of heaven

My husband & son have camped here a few times… now I know why they were so eager to show me why they loved this space. It was absolutely beautiful, the grounds were immaculate. The sky views were breathtaking. I was unsure about the dog that seem to automatically join us at first but he grew on me very quick. He kept to himself mostly, it seemed like he just enjoyed being near us and we didn’t mind one bit.

This was exactly the getaway from reality my family and I needed. The field was by far the favourite part for our kids and dogs to explore. They spent hours playing catch and chasing butterflies. Minke was extremely friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back!!

Site 1 - Farm Camp Palmyra

Minke and her husband are wonderful hosts. Their farm is lovely, and the 30 amp hookup was a welcome bonus because it was quite warm in late July. This was our first stop in Ontario after crossing the border at Detroit, and I can’t think of a better first stop. We enjoyed exploring the small towns in the area, visited Rondeau Park, and ate at Rondeau Joe’s right on the water. On another day we discovered a barbecue competition and festival at Red Barn Brewery. In the evenings, we enjoyed the sunsets and peaceful of the farm. I can’t recommend Palmyra Farm enough.
