The best camping near Burlington

A trip to Burlington can mean a visit to a big-box store, but it’s best to view this small city west of Toronto as a jumping-off point for adventure. Most impressively, more than half of the city is protected rural space, and we’re not talking just about your average parks—Conservation Halton alone has protected spaces with attractions that range from a 15th-century Iroquois village at Crawford Lake to a Raptor’s Centre that educates visitors about birds of prey at Mountsberg Conservation Area. Geological highlights include the escarpment cliffs, waterfalls, wetlands, and Lake Ontario itself, all prime for camping.

Welcome to Goats and Gardens, our small working hobbyfarm where goats graze in the pasture, chickens wander through the grass, gardens grow with the seasons, and there's always something going on. Stay your way — camp inside our one-acre animal pasture or choose our private farmstay suite for four walls and a comfortable bed. Your stay is group-exclusive. We host only one booking group at a time. Book the campsite or suite and the other won't be rented to another party. Groups are welcome to book both. We think some of the best moments happen when there's simply room for them to happen. A new discovery. Hunting for frogs by the pond. Watching the goats wander past. A conversation by the campfire. Or just spending time together somewhere a little different. We make space for you to make memories ... The pasture campsite includes access to a hot outdoor shower, clean composting toilet and complimentary firewood. The farmstay suite offers space to sleep, relax and prepare simple meals, plus a private indoor washroom and access to the same outdoor shower. However you stay, the off-grid cabin in the pasture is available to enjoy — escape the bugs, spend a rainy afternoon or simply watch the animals wander by. This is a real hobbyfarm, not a resort. The animals, gardens and seasons set their own rhythm, so no two visits are quite the same. Explore, ask questions, spend time with the animals or simply enjoy the farm your own way. Goats and Gardens especially suits families introducing children to farm life and camping, couples looking for something different, and people who enjoy slowing down. Some guests come for their first adventure. Others return to see what's growing, what's changed and what the animals are up to this time. Come make our little corner of the countryside your own for a while.

It was 1984 when John found his ‘diamond in the rough’, 20 acres with an orchard on the outskirts of Brantford. O.K., so the house was nothing to write home about but perfect for building a construction yard…no neighbors except for the family across the road that used their property to build log homes. By 1987 the old house was gone, a new one was being built and a shop for working on heavy equipment had been located about 200 ft. from Dr. the back door. It wasn’t until 1996 that things changed very much. Yes, the property around the house had benefitted from a wide array of trees and shrubs that John saved from the construction/demolition jobs he had done and that still thrive today but no big projects (except for equipment purchases) were ongoing. A chance meeting with the neighbor across the road one day resulted in the following dinner conversation, ‘How was your day’ I chirped. ‘Not bad, so-and-so didn’t come in; the truck broke down and I took it for repair; I bought the property across the road, and oh, yeah I’ll need a ride after dinner to pick up the truck’ was John’s casual reply. ‘What was that’? I pressed. ‘Yes, I need a ride after dinner to pick up the truck’ he repeated with a bit more volume. Of course like anyone, I had questions, ‘Do you want peas or corn with dinner’? ‘What time do you want to go to get the truck’? ‘The property across the road’, 10 acres, still has the 4 storey barn with its twin tiled silos which was built in 1914 and the big white house with wrap around porch that once was home to a Doctor and his family. Built so the Doctor could see his patients in the front with the family living in the back was very common in the day. Things remained relatively peaceful until 2000 when after studying alpacas for more than 6 years I bought our first three. Back in 2000 alpacas and llamas were not frequently seen on farms and because they could been seen from the road they received A LOT of attention. People driving by would stop and ask about them, ask if they could take a picture or two and that was when I would hear over and over again ‘You have a beautiful place here, I wish I/we could stay’. Well, if you want to visit and stay in the city it’s doable, we call it a hotel. But visiting a farm and staying well, that isn’t so easy. Each year we would see more and more families coming to ‘The Farm’ as they would call it. Some came to see the alpacas and horses, some came for a stroll and to check out the horse drawn milk and bread delivery wagons, some to have family birthday parties, others to have engagement/wedding/Christmas card pictures…and so many asked if there was any way they could spend a day or two. In 2021 during a conversation with a friend I mentioned we were in the process of gutting the 1100 sq. ft. space downstairs and turning it into an Airbnb! Right away she said, ‘I don’t know why you don’t have a Hipcamp? You’ve got that great area by the new barn that Hipcampers would love’! After a little investigation I found out what a Hipcamp was and the rest is history.

Each summer, we host family reunions and church picnics with up to 75 guests enjoying the heated pool, hammocks, patio, and spacious lawn. Campers have access to a large grassy area bordered by maples, oaks, and a wooded stretch to the west — perfect for pitching tents or parking campers. Amenities include: - Heated swimming pool with pool toys - Washroom with hot/cold water and shower (just inside the patio doors) - Outdoor sink with potable water - Tables, chairs, picnic tables, and a barbecue - Children’s slide and a hammock structure that holds up to 8 hammocks Whether you're here for a relaxing getaway or a work assignment, we hope you’ll feel the warmth and welcome of Fitz Farm Manor.

Weekend Trip to The Farm

My girlfriend and I had the most amazing stay at Karen’s farm! 🐴🦙🤍 From the moment we arrived, Karen was so warm, welcoming, and genuinely lovely. She gave us an amazing tour of the property and made us feel completely at home. The horses, alpacas, and llamas were SO cute, and the entire property is absolutely beautiful and incredibly well maintained. It has that special cozy, peaceful feeling where you immediately feel at home. Karen was also so helpful with recommendations for things to do nearby. She suggested the Grand River, where we rented canoes and had such an amazing time — and it was dog-friendly, which was perfect for us! 🐶🛶 She also recommended an amazing sandwich shop that did not disappoint. And if you’re looking for something fun in the evening, Steel Wheel Brewery is super close by, dog-friendly, and had live music when we went. Such a great spot! Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Karen made our stay so special, and we’re already looking forward to coming back. Highly, highly recommend! 🤍🌾🐴

Weekend Trip to The Farm

Host Karen is super nice and very knowledgeable about the neighborhood and history of this town. It’s a very fun place for all age groups. She can take you on a tour of her farm where you can interact with alpacas. The area is safe and the porta-potty was very clean. We just wish it was more centralized between all the sites rather than closer to the other sites, where we had to walk around a barn to reach it or walk through the other sites to reach it faster. Nevertheless, the experience there was awesome and would go again.

The land was beautiful and well kept. Nice and quite and private. Lots of land and trails. Easy access and directions. Hosts were great. Got some wood and it was dry and made a fire easily. Already planning another trip back.

Weekend Trip to Shiloh Barn Glamping

We enjoyed a lot . Mark and Jess are awesome and gave us so many details to explore and always they are in touch during our stay. Highly recommend my friends and families. Will come next summer for sure. Thank you very much for everything both.

Take a short stroll down to the pond. Hear the bullfrogs, catch a glimpse of the sunfish or bass, and maybe a blue heron or our resident great horned owl.

2 nights at Hidden Oasis Near Elora

Lovely space right by the water with large trees for shade. The water was great in the heat and we enjoyed the paddle boat. The site was clean and nicely laid out with 2 muskoka chairs, large fire pit and large picnic table. Having wood available as you drive in was great. My boys and I had a great time and were sad to have to leave early due to rain!

1 night at Goats and Gardens

Greg was great & the goats were so friendly & cute! Storm passed through, so we didn’t get to explore as much as we’d like, but the cabin & outhouse bathroom were nice & clean!

Weekend Trip to The Farm

I stayed at the Sunrise Spot and absolutely enjoyed it. It was private spot, with nothing but the sounds of the country and the farm to enjoy. Karen was an absolute sweetheart and made the stay even better. She’s so friendly, great communication on the app and welcoming at the site. It’s incredibly easy to get lost in conversation with her. I’d happily stay here again and definitely recommend the Sunrise Spot to anyone looking for a relaxing, country, campspot, getaway.

Weekend Trip to Hidden Oasis Near Elora

I arrived to the campsite and hour early and had no problems finding the place even though the bridge was closed. The site was huge and sits right beside the pond. The dogs were able to run around free until the other sights were occupied. I spend the evening there and had a bonfire and then Saturday went to Elora Gorge Conservation Park and into Elora the town. Once back to the site had another bonfire and it was so peaceful. The other sites are far enough away that we could all have our own space. There is a peddleboat that I played with in the pond. Packed up Sunday and headed home a little early only cause it was a rainy day.
