Purchased in 1989, this small piece of heaven was developed by Peter & Suelaine Poot into a home for their family and beginning in 2003, a welcoming alpaca farm.
The bush area has been used for camping by many local and visiting scouting groups over the years.
In 2021, we joined Hip Camp and now allow others to enjoy the beauty, peace, and challenges of camping in our bush.
The alpacas are a peaceful herd to watch as they graze their way through the day. Crias (baby alpacas), love to pronk and play in the pastures near their mothers. During May you may observe us shearing the alpacas.
June is the birthing and breeding month. They birth quickly, so watch carefully.
Tours of the farm with explanations of the fibre harvest process and opportunities to walk the alpacas are available to be booked through our website.
Recycling bins are available but please take non-recyclable garbage with you when you leave.

Spent Christmas Day and Boxing Day here with my dog. It was such a nice, peaceful spot! I can’t wait to go back when there’s not an ice storm happening. But absolutely no complaints about the spot!

Weekend Trip to Macksville Acres
Great little spot, small, cabin. Great for two people. There is a 2nd level Bunky but it might be a little tight to sleep in. Recommend for two people Max. Very rustic, yet well built cabin. Wood burning stove was easy to use. Note pit toilet ia open to elements. Quiet, location, sweet little forest. Lots of great birds to see including woodpeckers in the surrounding forest.
Went in November for a micro sabbatical would be nice to go back in the summer. Host very attentive, and considerate. Highly recommend.

Second time at this adorable cabin. Very well stocked but also minimalistic. Great place to extend the camping season if you don't have a hot tent. As always really enjoyed the wood stove and the quiet and calm of the open field. Really melancholic sitting by the fire and watching the geese migration at sunset

This was our first experience using Hipcamp, and it was awesome! Suelaine and Peter were amazing hosts, they were super helpful in getting us situated when we got there. They made us feel welcome and let us help walk the alpacas each morning! The store has so many cute things! We would definitely camp here again!

We had an absolutely perfect camping experience at this spot! The scenery was breathtaking, serene views, and a peaceful vibe that made it hard to leave. Josh, our host, was phenomenal. He was incredibly helpful, quick to respond to all our messages, and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. The site was well-maintained, and the whole experience felt seamless. We’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful, stress-free camping getaway.

John provides a beautiful property to camp on, and a nice way to wrap a day of bike packing. The area is quiet and serene, with a beautiful sunset and sunrise. Having an outhouse, and stations with snacks and fresh water was very convenient.
I will definitely camp here again if I'm bike packing in the area.

We had an amazing time camping at Josh’s beautiful property — it’s truly a hidden gem! The land is massive, with forests, farmland, and a peaceful creek running through it. Josh was kind enough to upgrade us to a creekside campsite, which turned out to be absolutely perfect — spacious, scenic, and shaded by gorgeous willow and maple trees. Having a picnic table and fire pit provided made it even better; relaxing by the fire at night was pure bliss. The outhouse is super convenient and clean.
Even though we arrived later than planned and didn’t get to meet Josh in person, his son Riley took wonderful care of us. He was incredibly welcoming — he welcomed us with some cold beers, gave us a full tour of the property, and even showed us their private woods where we spotted wild mushrooms and local wildlife.
As nature lovers, we couldn’t have asked for more. The combination of beautiful surroundings, warm hospitality, and peaceful atmosphere made this one of our best camping experiences. We’ll definitely be coming back again for a longer stay to explore more of this little paradise.
Thank you so much, Josh and Riley, for your kindness and generosity! 🌿🔥🍻

The back glen was absolutely perfect. I went in the end of September and the weather was perfect. Charles was very kind and accommodating as well! You can fish and swim in the water, as well as walk some trails along the fields. I set up a hammock by the convenient porta potty and it was perfect. The ground is very level as well for anyone with tents. I will definitely be coming back again!

The best camping near Bluewater guide
Where to go
MacGregor Point Provincial Park
About an hour and a half north of Bluewater, MacGregor Point Provincial Park offers hundreds of treed, level-surface sites for both car and tent camping. Many RV campsites also come with electrical hookups. Amenities include on-tap drinking water, laundry facilities, easy beach access, and pull-through campsites for travel trailers. For up to six people, year-round yurts offer bunk beds, heat, lighting, outdoor barbecues, and on-site dining shelters. From the campsites, try fishing at the nearby Saugeen River for bass, perch, Lake Trout, pickerel, pike, and salmon. The shoreline is also great for birding, especially during the spring and fall migrations.
Point Farms Provincial Park
Just half an hour north of Bluewater, Point Farms Provincial Park offers a great Discovery Program in July and August where park staff teach about plants, animals, and other wonders in the area. Both the Old Farms Trail and Below the Bluff Trail are easy enough for even the littlest Hipcampers to enjoy—look out for red-tailed hawks, orioles, blue jays, and yellow-bellied sapsuckers. Campgrounds open from late spring into early fall. RV campers will appreciate the pull-through sites with full hookups for water and electricity. Group-tent camping sites with vault toilets and water taps are also available for groups between nine and 45 people.
Dalewood Conservation Area
The Dalewood Conservation Area is about an hour south in St. Thomas, just outside of London. This is a great place to immerse in nature while exploring 25 hectares of wetlands—home to beavers, blue herons, and hundreds of songbirds. The Dalewood Reservoir Trail offers a moderately challenging loop, or kayak down the Evan Sisters’ Water Trail instead. Other activities include a swimming pool and an 18-hole disc golf course. Nearly 200 campsites are open from May to September. Some pull-through RV campsites offer 30-amp service, as well.
When to go
The peak camping season in Bluewater is summer when the warm, sunny weather is ideal for swimming, boating, and hiking. The Discovery Programs at MacGregor and Point Farms only run in July and August, too. For a quieter escape, consider visiting in spring and fall with cooler temperatures and occasional rain. While some sites may offer year-round camping, most close during the colder winter months. Winter camping is available in areas of Bluewater that offer cross-country skiing and ice fishing.
