Weekend Trip to Reis Kamp Country Retreat

Campsite was huge, so many places to walk to and explore. The hill on the opposite side of the field is a perfect place to watch the sunrise. It’s about a 15 minute walk/2 minute drive to Tim hortons, a&w, McDonald’s, gas station and what not. Very much enjoyed my stay and will be coming back again if possible

1 night at Reis Kamp Country Retreat

We had a lovely night here. Posted checkin and check out times are a bit late / early for one night but they made it clear we could come early and depart late if the space was free and we coordinated. Communication was excellent and the space very private and large with a beautiful fire pit. Also very close to amenities in Elmira.

This is our new favourite spot. Lots of space. Great site. Feels like you are really secluded yet you are just a 1 min drive into town (LCBO, grocery store, etc). We definately want to stay here again.

Lovely site next to the river. We didn’t see our neighbor and we far away from the RV area. Everyone was friendly that we met.

Weekend Trip to Maitland Shores Resort

Nice place, host is very friendly and helpful. What a fantastic spot for a camping trip! We absolutely loved our time next to the river. the river view was so relaxing, and it was perfect for cooling off after a day of exploring. The kids had a blast skipping sea shells and spotting little fish. Evenings were magical, with campfires crackling under a sky full of stars and the gentle murmur of the river in the background. The setup was great, offering just the right balance of feeling immersed in nature while still having convenient access to everything we needed. We're already dreaming about our next visit to this riverside paradise. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun and refreshing camping experience!

Weekend Trip to The Pinecone Bunkie

We had a great time at the pinecone bunkie. It matches exactly what we were looking for, disconnecting from routines in a calm environment still secure for our puppies. All basics were available to have a great time!
