Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023.

This rare urban site acknowledges our Abenaki heritage, who camped and lived along these shores for centuries. Our beautiful urban location near highway 410 and Bishop's University, directly on St. Francis river, makes it an exceptional starting point for cyclists who want to enjoy the Route Verte path; fish, canoe, kayak or tube the river or simply explore all Sherbrooke has to offer. Our birdlife is amazing and is a recognized birding location by provincial authorities, especially for swallows and chimney swifts. A fire pit will be made available, in respect of all fire bans, with firewood available for purchase. In 1910, Agriculture Canada set up a research centre that operated until the 1950's. The property was sold to a family that emigrated to Canada from Europe, to set begin a new life post WW2. In 2015, I purchased the property to return it to its roots - regenerative farming, training, hospitality, poverty relief and healthy living. Be our guest at The Farmhouse, a vibrant small-scale farm with a heart for the earth and its people. (https://www.thefarmhouse.store) Seasonal, fresh farm produce will be available for purchase as well as guided garden tours. Located within 5 minute walking distance to Lennoxville (Bishop's University). It's perfect for campers who like to experience "urban" camping. Some road noise. If you are concerned about the weather, the site provides the use of a 8 sleeper tent trailer for your convenience. During the day, you are welcome to relax in it too. Portable water will be provided, but bring your own drinks if possible. As a bonus treat, you are welcome to sleep in a very HIP camper, a 1980 retro dodge camper van. Bilingual service. ________________ Ce site urbain rare rend hommage à notre héritage abénakis qui a campé et vécu le long de ces rives pendant des siècles. (https://www.thefarmhouse.store) Notre belle situation urbaine à proximité de l'autoroute 410 et de l'Université Bishop's, directement sur la rivière Saint-François, en fait un point de départ exceptionnel pour les cyclistes qui veulent profiter du sentier de la Route Verte; pêchez, faites du canot, du kayak ou du tube sur la rivière ou explorez tout simplement tout ce que Sherbrooke a à offrir. Notre avifaune est incroyable et est un site d'observation d'oiseaux reconnu par les autorités provinciales, en particulier pour les hirondelles et les martinets ramoneurs. Un foyer au bord de la rivière sera mis à disposition, dans le respect de toutes les interdictions de feu, avec du bois de chauffage disponible à l'achat. Dans 1910, Agriculture Canada met sur pied un centre de recherche qui fonctionnera jusque dans les années 1950. La propriété a été vendue à une famille qui a émigré au Canada depuis l'Europe, pour commencer une nouvelle vie après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. En 2015, j'ai acheté la propriété pour la ramener à ses racines - agriculture régénérative, formation, hospitalité, lutte contre la pauvreté et mode de vie sain. En savoir plus sur ce terrain : Soyez notre invité à The Farmhouse, une petite ferme dynamique avec un cœur pour la terre et ses habitants. Des produits agricoles frais de saison seront disponibles à l'achat ainsi que des visites guidées du jardin. Situé à moins de 5 minutes à pied de Lennoxville (Bishop's University). Certains bruits de la route. Prestation bilingue.

Fabulous Riverside Oasis

This spot is an absolute gem! This was our first time staying with hipcamp and Chris went above and beyond. From the confirmation text introducing us to his property to the many people who care for the garden, we felt so welcome. The river offered a wonderful breeze and magnificent views. 10/10 will recommend to everyone we know.

Peaceful

My kids and I enjoyed tent camping at this farm. Johann and a small hen gave us a warm welcome. My kids felt comfortable exploring the gardens, yard, and riverfront. This is a great spot to stay and relax or to explore the Eastern townships. The nearby community had great food and a Saturday market. We will definitely return.

This was exactly what I was looking for a solo camping trip. The location was very convenient and spacious. There was water, porta John and a shower available at the house but I had my own. Chris is very hospitable and kind. Great spot by the river and was able to use firepit and buy wood right there. I felt very safe and Chris was only a text away. This was my first hipcamp stay and Chris has set the bar high. Thanks so much

En campagne, en ville

Serge était très accueillant. Très beau site sur le bord de la rivière. Vue partielle sur l'eau et mise à l'eau pour kayak/canot. Endroit paisible avec poules, lapin et canard en liberté qui venaient nous rendre visite. En campagne mais à quelques minutes de Sherbrooke. 5 min de la piste cyclable des grandes-fourches. Nous avons très apprécié. Merci beaucoup.

Great stay!

Great stay! The property and gardens were very beautiful! The hosts were wonderful and gave us a warm welcome. They even filled out water bottles for us in the house which we greatly appreciated! The only thing I will say is that it's a little bit noisy as the property is located on a fairly busy road.
