A piece of heaven is what awaits you here. If you're looking for privacy your search is over. Imagine having your own island you reach by walking across the 15 metre covered bridge with a few areas to set up your tent(s) from where you'll fall asleep listening to the sound of the spring flowing into the pond, what bliss. The other site has a large rectangular pond of its own to ensure everyone has privacy. Your drinking water comes from Mother Nature, not a well, true spring water that's icy cold and so refreshing. The property is mostly 50 yr old pine trees with a couple walking trails throughout. There are two spring fed ponds which makes them revitalizing on a hot day when you go for a swim. We are located 10 minutes away from the town of Hanover and the Allan Park Conservation is right beside us and has numerous walking and off road bicycling trails. The Saugeen River is 5 minutes away which you can kayak or tube down, too much fun that is. Our property offers beautiful scenery, virtual privacy, you see glimpses of our home, peace and tranquility with the backdrop of Mother Nature to be heard, geese, wild turkeys, deer, lots of songbirds, coyotes and oh yes, our big friendly lovable mutt Walker and the two new dogs who ate getting loveable, Bella and Hunter. The sunsets can be spectacular and later the stars twinkle above and maybe you'll even see a satellite high above while you're stargazing. Each site has a table (you'll need to bring lawn chairs), firepit with a cooking grill, and a supply of wood you'll have to purchase from us upon arrival, as we are a forestry managed property. An outhouse is a pleasant walk within minutes of the site. Water for dishes and general washing can just be taken from the pond (DO NOT DRINK) Not that it would kill you, lol. Ray will keep you supplied with fresh spring water for drinking. Also, the covered bridge is there if, HEAVEN FORBID, it rains, where you can seek coverage and watch and listen to it fall. New to this site is a solar powered string of 300 lights, two single person floats, and a hammock for your added enjoyment. There are numerous things to do within a 15 minute drive. A couple dams, 2 conservation parks, drive-in theatre, casino, horse racing, small stock car racing track (great for young kids), two local breweries, a busy local butcher and the Saugeen River. With more destinations as you move outward. We promise you won't be disappointed and can't wait to share our piece of Heaven with you. TAKE NOTE You will be charged $500 per bag/item of refuse you leave behind. WE DO NOT HAVE GARBAGE PICKUP, besides which you are supposed to leave the site as you found it. CANCELATIONS: IF you cancel within two weeks of your arrival date, your money will NOT be refunded nor will you be able to change the date. We are sorry for this, but we only have a short season, and you'll be using up double the time you booked for. Terry and Ray P.S. Should you wish to come during off season please get in touch and if it's feasible we'll open up.

This was the best camping experience we’ve ever had. Terry and Ray are incredibly nice people with a gorgeous piece of land. Our pups could roam around off leash and play with theirs and the water around your site is so clear! They will come by and check up on you to make sure you have all the fresh spring water you need right from their property and give you all the information about the land, otherwise you have a very private site with your own pond to swim in! Only one other campsite with a private pond as well. We got lucky and were the only ones there so got to visit both sites and they are beautiful. They are, and should be, so proud of their property. We stayed an extra day because we weren’t ready to leave yet and plan on making this an annual trip, if not more! Could not recommend this camp more. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay Terry and Ray!

Island Oasis

Serene Nights in Labrador Paradise

This property was absolutely gorgeous and the hosts were incredibly kind. The island is so beautiful and quiet and the set up is perfect for camping. The island has everything you need and all you could want with a hammock, table, fire pit, fairy lights and floats and a canoe, board games, and fishing equipment. The pond water was nice even in awful weather. We didn’t see the sun once, but it couldn’t have mattered less, we still had such an enjoyable time and Terry made sure to offer us extra tarps to stay dry and warm in our tent. When the rain really came down, we hung out in the adorable and impressive covered bridge that leads you to the island. My dog swam and ran the entire time and had the best two nights of his life. The walk from parking to the site and the site to the outhouse was nothing and was barely different than a drive up spot. Both campsites were gorgeous and we would’ve been more than happy at either!

The Camp Sight experience exceeded my expectations! Our first impression of the place was its tranquility. There was nothing better than a relaxing getaway at the campground with its clean facilities and well-marked sites. The owners, Terry and Ray, were incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable. Camp Sight is truly a slice of paradise for nature lovers.

Loved the tent camping here, such a beautiful property and the view was amazing, even the drive in was great too. Terry and Ray are fantastic hosts even gave us a walk around their property to see everything. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves camping.
