Thirsty Farmer

This is a beautiful, private camping spot. There is space for 2 RV's, but the owner will not book the second spot if you book as a single. The sight is fenced so our dog could roam freely. The bathroom and shower are clean and new, and a washer/dryer is available. We were there during a heat wave with a fire ban, so didn't use the large fire pit. A big highlight was the huge weeping willow tree that provided shade and some respite from the extreme heat. We have family in the area and will definitely book it again.

Wonderful camping experience…

We loved tent camping with our kids for two nights at Wesley’s site. The tent set up under a large tree was perfect, even on a hot sunny day. Our dog enjoyed the fully fenced area as much as he could. The privat washroom with showers and laundry were very convenient and clean. A special extra is the option for egg delivery in the morning from Wesley’s farm. We enjoyed to explore the nearby lake, the hikes and the sound of farm animals close by. Thanks a lot to the supportive and friendly host!

Best place to stay if you have dogs

We were last minute campers at the Thirsty Farmer and it was perfect, exactly what we needed. We tented under a willow tree with a small view of the lake. The shower and flush toilet were great too. The absolute best part was letting our dogs run leash free in the fully fenced space! My boys also had fun seeing all the birds, especially the peacock! There are roosters and they definitely do their job but it didn’t bother us at all, we will definitely keep it on our list for when we drive back and forth to the coast on future trips!

First Guest!

My wife and I were the first paying guests at The Thirsty Farmer. It’s also the first time we’ve used Hipcamp. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Wes was a great host and the facilities were top notch. Set on a farm in Blind Bay there were chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys and peacocks. The site itself is a fenced area about 1/2 acre where we let our two dogs run freely. No leashes required. There are hookups for the RV but you don’t really need to use them because there is a full washroom/shower/laundry. Also a giant fire pit and you can buy fresh eggs. We will definitely be staying here again!
