We were provided a nice location to set up our tent, and the views are stunning. My toddler was mesmerized by the animal on the side, which we adored. We received great assistance and were given a pail of water. Taryn's was also kind enough to let us stay longer. If you want a quiet and private camp, it was a nice experience.

We had a great experience at this farm. Taryn made us feel confortable. The place is great for a quiet night of stargazing around a fire pit. Plus how fun it is to wake up around alcapa, cows and chickens. The only down side is that the toilet were a bit minimalist, we didn’t care, but if you are a little fancy about that it’s something to consider.

The site is perfect for catching the sunset towards one end of the field.

My friend and I had such a wonderful time at Foof's forest! It's a perfect distance from Clifton hills to visit daily, but far enough away that you can enjoy nature. We had fun finding frogs and bugs all over in the evenings, and the hosts were super kind and came out to welcome us with their adorable pup. Would recommend.

Un seul emplacement qui permet toute la quiétude nécessaire pour se reposer. Les hôtes donne accès à tout l’arrière du terrain. Ils ont même invité nos enfants à utiliser la tyrolienne et le trampoline!! Les hôtes son accueillants et il est facile d’obtenir une réponse rapide de leur part. La toilette rustique était en parfait état. Avec tout le nécessaire pour nos petits ou gros envies. Ça sentait bon à l’intérieur! Oui, oui!!! Ça sentait bon!!!! Le seul petit irritant, c’est qu’il n’y a pas d’accès à de l’eau. . Je recommande! 💖

What a lovely spot to relax, yet close to all the tourist venues and plenty of shopping and dining options nearby! The camping site provided lots of privacy with a spotless outhouse, which was a wonderful bonus. Laura and her husband greeted us on arrival and were super kind. We appreciated the firewood that was available to purchase on-site. I would highly recommend to stay here as a perfect basecamp to explore the area.

Camping table, grill, fire ring. Plenty of trees with opportunities for a hammock if you bring one.

Weekend Trip to Foof’s Forest

The space was private, we didn’t see a soul the whole time we were there (which was nice!). It’s in a rural residential area, so you could hear some cars and a train once in a while but that was it. You could see the stars. ✨ Everything was well-maintained, the bathroom was perfect, and the site was a great size. A perfect getaway for our family and our dog, who needed escape from fireworks! It’s a simple and convenient set-up, easy access and easy to relax in.

We loved camping at Foof's forest. Although our stay was short but it was lovely. The directions were quite clear, there was a washroom and enough firewood bundles available. The trees there had light strings which came to us as a surprise when they lit it up. The space is cozy and just perfect to have your first camping experience.
