Come to the Hedgehog to completely relax and disconnect (seriously, you will because there is no cell service!).

The road/path out to the bunkie started as a well-made tractor path that has held up well over the years but has some rocks and bumps. Once through the gate it’s only a 1-minute drive to where you will park. This road may be a bit muddy!

If you are looking for a Winter Bunkie getaway, we would be happy to host you; please note the following:

It is a big chunk of land but you can't really get 'lost' on it for any significant period of time. We are bounded by roads so eventually you will find your way. But, if you aren't experienced in the woods you may want to keep your wandering short, to start, as you get familiar with the land.

Pootcorners Alpacas

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.

Pootcorner's is designed with space and options in mind for both RV camping and tent camping.

Back in the woods is where the tent camping is, it's quiet, private, and very open.

Some of the male alpacas greeting us as we passed on by.

Suelaine is a master at her craft and maintaining her farm as well as managing the animals who she knows by name.

This is one of the shared seating areas for socializing and having a fire, just outside the main house and near one of the alpaca pastures.

The site, while private and tucked away in the woods, is also on a well cleared area of land which makes for lots of options of where to pitch a tent.

Pet friendly, this is a really nice location for dogs to get exercised as long as they're friendly with the other animals.

In all directions are different pastures of alpacas.

Nestled in the woods near the tent camping is an outhouse which is really nice, especially if traveling in a larger group.

Another spot that's super kid friendly and there for the using, a sand box.

Greener Pastures Eco Farm

Our 75 acre ecological farm is just south-east of Woodstock, ON, with easy access to the 401 & 403.  Camp out with views of rolling pastures of cattle and free range chickens.

Experience a taste of place by visiting our on-farm store featuring our 100% grass fed beef & and other heritage pastured meat products, as well as a large variety of locally produced groceries.  A quiet, beautiful space to explore awaits you.  Farm tours or picnics are available for purchase prior to your arrival as extras in your hipcamp booking.
