2 nights at Camp Willowbrook

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 Sweet Pond Camping

Absolutely stunning property and fantastic hosts! Highly recommend!

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 Sweet Pond Camping

We spent the weekend here with our trailer. Lovely, peaceful spot with friendly hosts. Some nice trails on site. Easy access to lots of hiking and biking trails in the Guelph area.

Weekend Trip to Shiloh Barn Glamping

I proposed to my girlfriend (now fiancé) here at Siloh Barn and it was absolutely perfect. The upstairs rooftop barn is very romantic, that’s where I did it. The host Jessica was an absolute delight to talk to and helped everywhere she could to help make the proposal, and our overall stay, very comfortable. The yurt tent is very cozy and roomy and the queen sized bed was very comfy. I would honestly recommend this place to everyone, whether you’re proposing or just want a a serene, country get away.

Weekend Trip to Villa Vida Loca

Great site, great hosts, we really enjoyed our night away. Loved the food at the smoke shack too. Would highly recommend.

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!

Weekend Trip to WÄRME Sauna Cabin: Couples Retreat

We loved our weekend at Sean and Michele’s cabin. The landscape was beautiful and everything was so comfortable, clean, and beautiful.

Weekend Trip to Meanwhile Farm

First off, the host himself was absolutely amazing. We didn’t arrive till very late at 1:40am and he waited OUTSIDE for us to arrive in his pjs. He’s a very nice kind man and will address any of your concerns/requests immediately. He even offered for us to stay in the barn on couches instead of setting up camp in the dark. Site #2 was quiet and clean as well as the bathrooms and showers. I would recommend this place to others and would come back myself again. Wish there was a place like Scott’s closer to where I live.

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 :)

3 nights at Sweet Pond Camping

Leila and Andrew have a lovely property with a pond, barns, stone buildings, and horses to boot! They were very accommodating in my selection of sites and I very much enjoyed my solo stay!

1 night at Villa Vida Loca

The place was so amazing, they've provided blankets, pillows, bbq with lighting supplies, firewood, and heat inside the cabin was also provided! Back of their house, there is a sauna and a hot tub that they provide! It was one of the highlights of our weekend trip. They also provide a water to wash your utensils, and an outdoor shower with hot water!! They've got two big dogs on the property to keep other critters and wildlife away, as they also have chickens at the front of the property. Ed was very accommodating, and even provided us a towel for the sauna. It was the perfect getaway, and perfect break from the city air and noise

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

1 night at Farm with Views

Beautiful, secluded property. Washrooms were immaculate. 20 minutes to town if you forgot anything. Great little diners nearby too.

Weekend Trip to Luna Dreki

Both Melanie and her husband were AMAZING hosts. We had such a memorable time. This was our first time camping/glamping and Melanie and Ryan really went out of their way to help us and make us feel comfortable. It was unexpectedly cold the day we reached and they really went out of their way to order bed warmers to make our stay more comfortable. Couldn’t have asked for a more wholesome experience. Highly recommended for people who haven’t camped before and are looking to get into it!!

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.
