Brant, ON · 6 sites · Tents, RVs
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.

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.

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.

We loved camping at Pasture 1! Josh was a fantastic host—friendly, accommodating, and very responsive. We experienced some significant wind and rain during our stay, and Josh made sure to drive by and check on us to make sure everything was okay. We also really enjoyed getting to spend time by the river and swimming in the swimhole—it was such a great bonus to the camping experience! His thoughtfulness and attentiveness really made a difference. We’d definitely camp here again!

Just needed a place to crash for the night. Wanted to see the animals in the morning but it was raining. The idea is great and would have loved to experience it. Very cheap also. Much cheaper than a motel

We really enjoyed this spot! It was clean, peaceful, and surrounded by beautiful flowers. The river was beautiful too, with lots of people kayaking and tubing. Luke stopped by to make sure we had everything we needed. One of our favorite camping spots so far!

To start Angela and Luke are great Hosts who I have enjoyed meeting. Angela worked with me to change my date because of rain. This was my 3rd trip and come for the Quiet camping over loud Conservation Camping. Up to now everything had been peaceful. Until last night next to the Dam Spot there is a Permanent Trailer that had people arrive at 6 PM as soon as it became dark 9PM the music got turned up. There Dog was Barking The Voices and Music continued until 1 AM there was no effort to lower there voices and in fact it got louder. Keep in mind if you rent the dam spot expect loud noise from these people. It really is a peaceful place, Unfortunately some people thing they can do what ever they want.

Stayed during the week and we were the only campers on the site. Beauty spot right on the bank of the Saugeen River. The property was neat and exactly as it was described. No problem with directions and would recommend it for sure!

We had a great time at Suelaine's place. There was room for our 25' motorhome. The alpacas were very cute, no problems camping near them. I recommend Pootscorners Alpacas to anyone looking for a place in the area.

Tent camping on Sarah’s land was perfect. Minimal bugs, friendly dogs and lots of space to pitch a tent and have fun. Would highly recommend for a couple or small group looking for a quiet spot to camp out.

Look forward to visiting again soon!

Beautiful campsite surrounded by nature, with the river right there and such a peaceful atmosphere! We had so much fun with the kids.. lots of exploring, playing, and making memories together. And the starry night was absolutely magical! A perfect little getaway for the whole family.

We had such a wonderful camping experience here! The site was absolutely beautiful, private, and very clean, with a gorgeous creek that really made the whole setting feel peaceful and relaxing.
The host went above and beyond with the little details. There was a covered area with a table and cooking supplies, which made things so much more convenient, especially when spending the day outside. The outhouse was also exceptionally clean and thoughtfully stocked with emergency supplies in case you forgot something.
You can really tell that a lot of care has gone into making the site comfortable and welcoming. We had a fantastic stay and would absolutely love to come back!
