Weekend Trip to Bruce Trail Bunkie

Had a great stay in the bunkie! I was hiking the Bruce Trail Toronto section and it was the perfect place to rest and recharge.

1 night at Camp Willowbrook

We had an AMAZING stay here with our little kiddo. Beautiful property. Private area. The farm animals really made our stay for our 4 year old. Never bored here! Angie was a fantastic host. Definitely recommend it here and definitely will be back.

Weekend Trip to Camp Willowbrook

Angie and Bob were amazing host, perfect stay in a farm. This is the best place for family with kids, can enjoy the running water next to the bunker, petting the animals, visited the chicken barn and got the eggs. View of the sunset was top notch also clear view of night sky was top notch. Kitchen setup outside for barbecue and cooking. Using sauna is one of the best in this farm!! Also kids had lot of fun with dogs Coney and Chase ❤️

3 nights at Camp Willowbrook

We had such a great time staying at Willowbrook. Myself, my husband, our daughter and her 1 year old stayed for 3 nights. Angie showed us how to fire up the sauna and hot tub, although the weather was so warm, we enjoyed the hot tub as a "cold" plunge more. The outdoor kitchen has everything a camper needs and then some - it is so well equipped. We enjoyed a day in Alora but our favorite day was just hanging around and playing in the stream catching crayfish, watching the tadpoles swim around and enjoying our grandson in his world of discovery. Willowbrook is a little oasis that I would highly recommend for someone wanting to have the experience of pure relaxation. We also thoroughly enjoyed Angie's woodfired 3 course breakfast. SO delicious and you will not need to eat for the rest of the day! Angie and Bob are terrific hosts and are around if you need anything.

We loved the cabin such a beautiful location. Everything about this place is awesome. Angie and Bob awesome individual. Animals so cute perfect weather.

1 night at Camp Willowbrook

I was a bit worried at first that the cabin was close to the house and there wouldn't be privacy, also at the sauna and hot tub, but they placed it all really well and we felt like we had our own space. Angie was very informative and made sure we had everything we needed, including a nice warm hot tub which she came a lit for us. Thoroughly enjoyed the sauna and hot tub. The cold shower was nice too in between sessions. Loved being able to visit the horses. They were both so sweet. The only thing I would say (and it's not a big deal) is it would be nice to have an easier access to the river. It's a bit tricky to get down to the water. Amazing place though and I will recommend to my friends! Wish we had more time to enjoy it all!

Weekend Trip to Chapelwood Chalet

This was a perfect little getaway for us! Jake’s chalet is a wonderful off grid disconnect with some luxuries. We had a great time here not thinking about the daily headaches and just being able to explore the vast forests and stunning river! Jake was very accommodating with anything we needed and the chalet was set up with extras that saved us while cooking! We saw deer, woodpeckers etc. also fishing would be amazing here! Definitely would recommend this place.

Spring river level is high during our May 30 visit.

Weekend Trip to Camp Willowbrook

Since there is only one site, there is plenty of privacy with having the land by river to yourselves. The outdoor kitchen shelter is a game changer. It provides a great place to hang out with shade, area to prepare meals, all while out of any bad weather. Angie has it supplied with every utensil you need or if you didnt bring an item, like scissors. The wood stove inside bunkie loft worked like a charm, and Angie gave thorough instructions. The bbq and supplies were all very clean, and ready to use. Having water for drinking and another supply for boiling for washing is thoughtful, and very appreciated. We definitely recommend the full Kota dinner experience! Lots of food for enjoying, along with cozy atmosphere. Thank you Angie, and Bob for sharing your lovely piece of heaven with us, and those like-minded hip campers that are lucky enough to have found you. If we return to the Meadows Music Festival, we will definitely stay with you again. Darlene, Wendy and Sherry

Weekend Trip to Camp Willowbrook

Our stay at Camp Willowbrook was amazing! It was perfect to reconnect as friends, every amenity was accessible, and the hosts were so welcoming and open to sharing their history with the camp / land. One of the best aspects of our stay was walking the property itself, it’s so well taken care of and our guide (Kono) was very eager to show us the beauty this farm had to offer. We would highly recommend booking the sauna and hot tub experience. Thank you to Angie and her family for a wonderful place to make some new memories!

2 nights at Camp Willowbrook

We loved our stay at camp willowbrook! The weather was not on our side, so the Sauna and wood fire hot tub was a must! What a treat. Can’t recommend both enough, but especially the sauna! We fired it up both mornings and before the hot tub. The other great feature we opted for was the kota hut meal! Had a lovely dinner with Bob, Angie and Shane! Mexican night on the farm, delicious surprise. Angie was an amazing host making sure we had everything we needed for the sauna and tub and our chilly night in the bunkie. The “bar” was equipped with every single thing you could need for cooking! Couldn’t have asked for more. The cute dogs were a bonus too. Thanks Bob and Angie, hope we get to come again soon :)

Weekend Trip to Bruce Trail Bunkie

Such a great spot! Everything we needed to cook meals, a great spot to walk trails or run the countryside, and the evening fire was the perfect way to end the day. Wonderful spot to spend our long weekend.

1 night at Camp Willowbrook

We had a truly wonderful stay at this charming farmhouse! It was such a peaceful and refreshing experience, surrounded by nature and friendly animals. The horses, dogs, and hens added so much warmth and character to the place — it felt like a real escape from the city. Spending time in the kota hut was especially memorable. Cozy, beautifully set up, and perfect for unwinding, it made the whole experience even more special. Angie and Mathew were so welcoming and made sure everything was just right. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a calm countryside getaway with a personal touch

Weekend Trip to Chapelwood Chalet

My grandson gave 10 out of 10… We really enjoyed our stay at Jake’s cottage.

Weekend Trip to Camp Willowbrook

Really enjoyed our weekend on this beautiful piece of land. Great set up. Everything is well maintained and clean. The outdoor kitchen (with cast iron pans and new bbq!) made preparing meals easy and convenient. The sauna was delightful. The friendly dogs and horses added some fun to the weekend. Thanks, Angie and Bob. We hope to be back.

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!

1 night at Camp Willowbrook

My friend Ellyn and I had an incredible stay at Angie and Bob’s cabin! Communication with Angie before and during our stay was exceptional! The cabin itself is exactly as described and as looks in the pictures. Angie even went above and beyond and set up the second bed downstairs before our arrival. There are plenty of solar lights available to keep you lit up in the evening, but certainly bring your power bank to charge your phone 😉. We booked the sauna and tub (decided to use as a cold punch rather than a hot tub) and that was phenomenal. Angie even has essential oils for you to use in the sauna which elevated the experience even more. The absolute must of your next day has to be the Kota dinner experience. Seriously if you’ve never done this before I highly recommend. We spent the evening maybe two or three hours chatting with Angie, Bob and her brother Shane all well grazing on the tastiest food to be grilled and applewood smoked over the fire. She is so creative in her food options and there wasn’t a thing that either of us didn’t absolutely love. I’m actually drooling thinking of that dinner. We spent some time with their two dogs, and even got to visit their horses, baby chicks, chickens, cats, and cow! Overall, this was an unbeatable experience, and the only thing I regret is not booking a longer stay. We will be back. Thank you, Angie once again for everything you’ve done to make our stay above and beyond!

Had a fantastic stay at Camp Willowbrook! This was our second time back and we hope to return again. Angie is a welcoming, friendly and very helpful host. The property is beautiful with all the amenities you need for a relaxing getaway. Sweating in the sauna, cooling off in the river and getting fresh eggs from the chicken coop... what more could you ask for?!

Camp Willowbrook

6 sites · Lodging95 acres · Amaranth, ON

We purchased this farm in 1998 from the previous farmer who had owned it since 1929. The train line ran right by the gate where the Kota hut now sits and would drop cattle right there to be finished and sold later at the Toronto Stockyards. Our barn was built in 1890 with the old farmhouse located across the creek. Two creeks meet the Grand River on our farm. The bunkie is situated north of the barn and faces Willow creek. During the summer the creek gets quite shallow but there are a couple of pools that work nicely for a float with our river tubes. The river also has a small swimming hole. The bunkie is nestled between 2 hills which creates a natural little valley. Campers can take a walk around the property or use the nearby long walking trail. New this spring, campers will be able to enjoy the firewood sauna, located close to the bunkie and nestled in a private spot near the creek.

You have complete privacy at the bunkie. However, if you need assistance our home isn’t too far away. Please note that it is an off-grid bunkie…which means no electricity! We do have lamps available in the bunkie, however bringing your own headlamp or flashlight is recommended. There is a cute, private outhouse w/ washbasin.

Cabins near Kitchener guide

Overview

Kitchener is best known for its massive Oktoberfest celebrations with its twin city Waterloo, but there’s a lot more to this little city. Just a few minutes away, you can enjoy the Stratford Festival, with a variety of theatrical offerings including some of Shakespeare’s best. Just north of town is the Mennonite settlement of St. Jacobs, where city dwellers go to buy amazing quilts and other artisanal items. The surrounding countryside and nature reserves make for a laidback escape.

Where to go

Close to Town

If staying near Kitchener is your priority, a number of private campgrounds are available just outside of the city. Laurel Creek Conservation Area is the one public campground in Waterloo.

Conservation Areas

A few of the conservation areas managed by the Grand River Conservation Authority have seasonal campgrounds. Elora Gorge is particularly popular with families for the experience of tubing down the gorge, while Guelph Lake, Conestogo, and Pinehurst also offer camping.

Near Stratford

If you’re planning to visit the Stratford Festival, there are a couple of campgrounds between Kitchener and Stratford, some with tent and RV sites as well as cabins. You may be able to find some beachfront campsites.

When to go

Most of the camping options near Kitchener are seasonal, operating between May and October. Campgrounds often have lower rates in May and from after Labour Day until they close for the season. Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest runs for nine days in late September and early October, when there may still be some campgrounds open.

Know before you go

With St. Jacobs being home to a Mennonite community, you may find yourself sharing the road with horse-drawn buggies in the surrounding areas. Give them plenty of space.
Kitchener-Waterloo has two universities, so even when it’s not time for Oktoberfest, there can be rowdy students around town.
GO Transit commuter trains connect Kitchener and Toronto with hourly (and often more frequent) service. Even if you don’t have a vehicle, reaching Kitchener is easy.
When the large student population leaves for the summer (from May through August) the city becomes much more relaxed and quiet, but popular summer spots like the Elora Gorge get crowded on weekends.

Nearby attractions

For an enriching nature retreat, camping near Rockwood Conservation Area is ideal. The Rockwood camping experience combines tranquil forest trails, mesmerizing limestone cliffs, and crystal-clear waters, promising a truly invigorating outdoor adventure.
