Good place to rest your head for the evening if road tripping. However definitely not suited for tent camping as the ground is very uneven and rocky. Relatively private and good tree coverage. They do have a table and a tarp which can come in handy!

This was a beautiful site, next to a pond in an enormous, well-tended field. As described, the road down to the site was a little rough, but the area we camped was grassy and smooth with plenty of flat spots. A great spot to watch the Stars on a moonlit night.

We had a wonderful evening at Kate’s. They welcomed us with a warm smiles and personally guided us to our campsite by the pond. My partner and I spent the night under a sky full of shooting stars, cozy in a tent that Kate generously lent us. An unforgettable experience I’d recommend it 100%!

We absolutely loved staying here. The pond was so beautiful and we spent a lot of time looking at all of the frogs! The water was perfect for swimming! Kate and her partner are the nicest folks around - so friendly and sweet. Really good people. They gave us the perfect recommendations for things to do and places to check out during our stay. We would come back in a heartbeat!

Great place to park my truck for a couple of nights. Protected, shady, quiet, and peaceful. They had a table and a tarp there if I had needed them, which was a nice touch. It was super dry, so didn't have too many bugs (I could see them being pretty bad if it was wet out). Didn't need to set up a tarp or anything, but plenty of trees to do so if you need to. Also great places for hammocks! It's perfect if you are staying in a hammock, small camper, or vehicle. I'm not sure where I would have found a non rocky/rooty/rutty place to set up a tent if that's where I had been sleeping, so keep that in mind if you are tenting it. It was great for the set-up I have! The neighbors house felt a little close, but where and how I parked still felt very private with the angle of my vehicle and the trees. I think I was just more surprised than anything as I didn't notice it in the pictures. Great spot for a few nights!

Awesome Canada day weekend spent at Maple Lane Hive! Beautiful and private location, quiet and peaceful. Our GPS gave us trouble getting there and Ryan was kind enough to come rescue us and lead us to the beautiful campsite. We look forward to going back!!!

Not much has changed here since the 1800's. Feel the homesteading experience.
