The host is helpful friendly, he helped me get a fire started when it was raining. The camp sites are nice and secluded. The stream is really clean and shallow, the river is full of all sorts of fish, a couple muskrats/otters, and a few frogs, there are always giant blue herons, bald eagles and vultures in the sky. Iâve caught a 3ft pike, and a few walleye.

Weekend Trip to Meech Creek Falls
Neal is a really great host and made this whole experience worth coming to. The campsite was exactly what we were looking for. It's perfect if you just want to relax and connect with mother nature and destress away from everyday life. Definitely recommend to everyone. My husband and I had a fantastic experience from start to finish and plan on coming back. Might just be our new favorite vacation spot

Weekend Trip to Meech Creek Falls
We loved the whole experience from start to finish. Neal was an amazing host who made sure anything we would have needed was already there for us and everything was beautiful. The sauna was the perfect relaxing along with the view and sound of the falls. It was really great along with the outdoor kitchen and even a woodstove for those chilly mornings/ nights was a very nice touch, 20/10 would recommend for anyone who is looking to decompress from the work week and relax all while having a grocery store and gas station within 3 minute drive to make good use of the kitchen outdoors, anyways we had a great time thanks for having us!!!

2 nights at Ferme Lanthorn
The Green Room was the Perfect solo writer's retreat. The room is absolutely beautiful, with dark green walls, gorgeous antique furniture, and charming artwork. Thanks to the electric heating and kettle, I never had to worry about making or maintaining a fire, which left a lot more time and energy to read and write. The lighting was perfect as well, with bright wall sconces to illuminate the room at night, and a bedside lamp for more focused light/reading in bed.
Mary and family are very kind and hospitable, and also amazing at respecting boundries!! They took great care of me and the space, even letting me know before they let dogs out in case it would bug me. It felt confident that I would be left in peace as long as I wanted, but also that someone would be around if I needed anything.
Even the animals were great. The sheep and goats are very friendly, and good listeners if you find yourself wandering the property at night. The deer are somewhat shyer, but still delightful.
The only thing it was missing was running water, but this didn't bother me because I'm used to camping. Frankly, it was much fancier than I had anticipated. The composting toilet was lovely and modern, and came with clear instructions (in a fancy frame to boot). I recommend bringing baby wipes or other gentle dry-bathing material if you're going to do more than two nights.

I had a fantastic time on Gerryâs land. The resident beaver made a few appearances, lots of birds, the view of the river is fantastic. Beautiful property, and Gerry is a fantastic host. I will absolutely be booking again !!

I have a wonderful weekend at the Green Bunky! Mary gave me a tour of the farm when I arrived and I got to meet (and even feed!) the deer, goats and sheep.
The bunky was cute, cozy and peaceful. I was nice and warm all weekend and it had everything I needed.
Mary also gave me some directions for snowshoeing and I had had a great time traipsing around in the woods, checking out the frozen beaver pond and checking out the logging trail. I'm looking forward to coming back next winter!

5/5 stars! We had a fantastic camping experience here! Gerry, the owner, was very friendly and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed. The campsite had a beautiful view overlooking the river, and we enjoyed spending time by the water's edge.
Gerry also provided us with plenty of firewood, which was a nice touch. We were a group of three friends, and we had a great time sitting around the campfire and enjoying each other's company.
We would definitely recommend this campsite to others. Thanks Gerry, for a great stay!

2 nights at Ferme Lanthorn
I had a lovely stay at the Green Bunky and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for some quiet time surrounded by nature. The Bunky has everything you might need for a short stay and feels very cosy. I particularly enjoyed the quiet, the opportunity to go for a nature walk in the nearby forest, meeting the animals and Mary's kindness and friendliness.

My husband and I camped for the night in our roof top tent. We had such a warm greeting from the hosts and Mary showed us around the property. The property is beautiful. We walked through the woods and up the mountains. The animals were our favourite part of the visit. Overall, it was the perfect 24 hour getaway! And the stars at night were magnificent. It was a clear and cool night. We will be back!

We were looking for a place to camp in Quebec, early November, but all provincial parks were closed. The few that offered winter camping are closed until snow falls⌠We came across HipCamp by word of mouth and it was great. Gerryâs a very friendly host and lots of fire wood is available, fair price and quick delivery.
