Weekend Trip to Collinswood Retreat
Gives a vive that you are actually in a jungle inside of a tree house. There is a bus turned into a cabin, which will remind you of the movie “into the wild”. Great experience overall.

Weekend Trip to Collinswood Retreat
This is, I believe, my fourth stay! It's a magical place that I look forward to visit every year. The Happy Hut and Treehouse are so cozy, every little detail is thought of and you are looked after so well! The trails are amazing for long walks, the views spectacular, loved meeting the horses again this year. And Geri's massages are a must! See you again in 2026!

We had an amazing stay at this campsite just minutes from Sylvan Lake. Being on a farm made it such a unique and memorable experience, and the setting was peaceful yet close to everything. The hosts were wonderful and welcoming, speaking French, English, and even some Spanish, which added to the charm. Booking through Hipcamp was such a smooth and amazing experience. We’d love to come back again and would highly recommend this spot to friends and family!
Nous avons passé un séjour incroyable dans ce camping à seulement quelques minutes de Sylvan Lake. Le fait que ce soit sur une ferme a rendu l’expérience unique et mémorable, avec un cadre paisible tout en étant proche de tout. Les hôtes étaient formidables et très accueillants, parlant français, anglais et même un peu d’espagnol, ce qui a ajouté au charme. Réserver via Hipcamp a été une expérience simple et agréable. Nous aimerions beaucoup revenir et recommandons vivement cet endroit à nos amis et à notre famille !

Absolutley amazing. Lovely little place to escape life. We stayed in the treehouse and also used the sauna which is a real finish sauna, gets very hot. Highly reccomend trying out. The outdoor shower does get very warm-hot water but the grate on the fence is a bit low so bring towels to cover if you need extra privacy. The toilet by the treehouse is an outhouse so I reccommend walking the short distance to the composting toilet, especially for using #2. Didnt have the time to use the bath but it looked absolutely lovely. We did walk the red lantern trail, but beware its easier to get lost in the trails as the markings stop after a little while so take a photo of the map. The treehouse itsself has a very comfy bed. It is quite small inside so dont pack alot. second bed is a folding futon, all bedding is provided. They also have your first bundle of wood free, and there is a jug of drinking water and a jug for cleaning water (non potable), also lots of dishes, and cooking ware, an ax, kettle stove, small BBQ, and fire pit, they have some seasonings and oil if you forget yours. There is a Cheap COOP store 10 minutes away as well, and cheap wood in the area too (also you can get wood from the hipcamp extras tab). There are horses on the property who wander freely so you need to be diligent about closing all gates. They also have garbage bins that are bear safe but you do need to secure your food in your car. There are also some frisbee golf and board games to play. Will be back!!

My daughter loved the trails and waking up to horses roaming around. There were more "comforts of home" than we expected and that was great. The yoga deck was an amazing place to reconnect with nature and self.
Geri and Pat were wonderful at communicating with us and it was an overall wonderful experience.

We had a great time at the treehouse. It was very cozy, and the bed was very comfortable. The views from the yoga deck and the hike around the property were beautiful! Pat and Geri were also very warm hosts and provided us with everything we needed. Watching the horses roam around the property was also a nice surprise.

This is the most amazing place. Probably my favorite hip camp site I’ve been to yet! We stayed in the treehouse and it was such a cool unique spot. We did a sauna and the outdoor bath tub both incredible! And we lucked out and got to see the horses :).

We stayed in the yurt the first 2 nights and the treehouse for the last night. We are already trying to book again!
If you value seclusion & are more comfortable in the woods and with the critters, the yurt is great!
If you appreciate hard walls closer to the safety of other people (but still more secluded than most campsites) the treehouse is more that.
If you want to unwind in nature but do not want a crowded campsite, or having to pack shelter & bedding (maybe mattress topper for comfort for older folks that may prefer), this is that & more.
Hosts were kind, laid back, & went over and above (my son left a recently passed family members watch somewhere hard to find and they went out of there way to find and return it).
If you want simplified camping, I highly recommend! The views & trails are stunning. The trails & their signs/decorations, the yoga deck & outdoor tub/shower, meditation area had a breath taking view. We loved inspected every plant, fungi, & furry critter. The friendly horses gave a majestic vibe, and there were. squirrels, bat, birds, butterflies. And so much more).
Definitely a hidden gem, and I am wishing it so much success (but also scared how busy it could get once more people learn about it).
Thanks Pat & Geri for sharing your space!

The place was awesome! So much to explore in the grounds. The treehouse was cozy and cooking in the outdoor kitchen was such super handy. We especially liked the outdoor bathtub for soaking and watching the stars at night. Thanks so much for the stay!

We absolutely loved staying at the treehouse! It's tiny yet comfortable, and comes with a fully-equipped kitchen and a nice firepit zone. We also enjoyed exploring the trails on the property and a little tour around Pat gave us.
The outdoor shower was absolutely amazing - try taking it during the golden hour when the forest looks just magical.

Great place to camp. This is one of the best place we ever camped with kids. We camped with our autistic son and had to leave early because he wasn't doing well with change but our 6 year old daughter really loved the place. We would highly recommend this place.

Me and my wife, stayed at tree house for a day. It was great experience, we got the time to enjoy ourselves in a quite and happily place. You can enjoy many trails, seeing animals and many more things to do. You will feel that you have left the world behind somewhere. You can also enjoy hot tub under the sky, a spa , a massage. There are many different views to enjoy, you will feel you are the king of the universe.
I will recommend this place to everyone. Just be there and enjoy your time.
Geri and pat are so nice. We were about to use hot tub and we were ready to pay, but they offered us a free hot tub.
They are so nice, humble and respected people.

The photos were a little misleading with how close we were to the families house, but they were very friendly, welcoming and we honestly forgot they were there for the most part. The area got lots of sun and because of the way we set up our tents, the foliage and their garage, there was lots of privacy. Jean also let us feed his 12 day old cow so that was really fun. Would def recommend
