This beautiful spot was re-forested with pine a number of years ago, and was sectioned off from the surrounding farmland, which is now maintained by the mennonite community. It is 8 1/2 acres of wetland and forest, with a mown perimeter, and cool places to tuck into the forest for the night. The current owner was a special educator, and now is slowly turning the land into her homestead. There is a beautiful, spa quality outdoor shower next to a tidy and 'fancier than most' outhouse, a strawberry patch as well as wild alpine strawberries all over the property, a big dog and a small indoor cat keep her company. Here is what the land offers: -Bunkie in the Forest: A sweet 8x8 ft. space with new bunk and mattresses as of April 2023 -Strawberry Fields bunkie: an 10x12 space with a loft with a queen memory foam mattress and a main floor with a full futon and a small table -Campsites: Meadow, Forest and River spots. Close to each other, but you'd never know it! All three are chill and serene places. The property backs onto a ten-foot swimming hole in an otherwise shallow part of the Saugeen River. -RV Spot: With electric hook up ideal for RVs 30 feet and under -a connection to the organization, 'Black Folks Camp Too'! Welcoming to all!!!!! So much to see and do in the area!

Pine the Sky bunkie in the forest!

Had a great time on Joan's property! We took the canoe out for a paddle on the river and saw a heron as soon as we arrived. Beautiful property.

Pine the Sky bunkie in the forest!

Love the bunkie and campfire area provided. Joan was approachable and easy going. The space was private and quiet. The mosquitos were a bit annoying but apparently it was a bad season for them. Better protection next time lol

Pine the Sky bunkie in the forest!

The best!!

Loved every bit of our stay, we had a blast! My puppers also had the best time with Joans beautiful fur babies! They made our trip so memorable! Joan is hands down the best host ever! She was so helpful and was ready to answer any questions we had! The place was clean, well kept and felt very private and not to mention gorgeous. Loved making our own fire (first time) and the early morning kayaking and gorgeous sunset and sunrise view by the river! And not to mention the beautiful night sky! Will be definitely coming back 💌 Thank you Joan for your hospitality!

Strawberry Fields Bunkie

Lovely time!

Joan was beyond accommodating. This was our first time booking with Hipcamp, but won’t be our last! You can expect to be greeted by some amazing dogs. One of them became my best friend for the weekend. The space is what you would expect, a plethora of pine trees with peace and quiet! Only a 10-15 min ride to local stores where you can pretty much purchase anything. Our Bunkie was clean and spacious enough for what we needed. The amenities were better than the average. There were kayaks, canoes, and many activities to keep you occupied. Fire pits everywhere! Also wood to purchase as well. We only stayed a day and night this time, that wasn’t enough to enjoy the space, but enough for us to have some quiet time! Highly recommend this site or any site Joan cares for. She is a top notch host!

Pine the Sky Campsites

Joan is a lovely helpful host! Such a beautiful slice of heaven. We stayed on the river site and it was Devine! Walking trails easy to navigate, peaceful and surreal! Stargazing is incredible and sunsets over the farm were most desirable to watch. Thank you for sharing your space!

Hideaway in the Pines

Lovely place

Joan was incredibly welcoming and attentive. The location was serene, with beautiful nature trails nearby and a peaceful lake just a short walk away. If you're looking for a quiet retreat surrounded by nature, this cabin is an excellent choice!
