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!
Joan's campsite is a peaceful retreat perfect for those looking to connect with nature. Surrounded by beautiful trails, a serene river, and wide open skies, guests frequently mention the tranquility and stunning landscape. Joan's hospitality is a common highlight, with many appreciating her friendly nature and helpfulness. Her dogs, Onyx and Sid, are also a hit with visitors, adding to the welcoming atmosphere.
I loved the cabin and its rustic vibe! Joan was a great host and was always there helping us with anything we needed. We stayed in the bunkie but even the campsites are far very secluded and gives a lot if privacy!
We stayed at the Strawberry Fields Bunkie during Easter weekend and we had a great time despite the chilly weather. Joan was very gracious host. The property is big and very private; will definitely come back.
Was such a great experience staying in Hicamper, definitely going back once the weather gets a bit more warm.
Joan was very helpful and such a sweet host as well
I am so satisfied with my time at Pine the Sky. I was worried because of the unexpectedly heavy snowfall, but the consideration of the host Joan was a great comfort.
