Our new favorite camping location!

Tent ·

We found Burkes Barnyard on TikTok and were very excited to visit. Everything was exactly as advertised. Beautiful clean sites, wonderful hosts, farm fresh eggs available, and the animals are so much fun with chickens and ducks wandering through our campsite. Everything was perfect and we will be returning in a few weeks.

We had a wonderful experience! The kids had a blast with the chickens! We had a meet and greet with the animals which was one of a kind experience. The eggs were delicious !The sandy beach was nearby and we had an amazing time. The hosts were very kind and the welcome gift was truly kind and appreciated. Definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking for a cool camping spot.

We had a great time tent camping! Such a cute and unique place to stay. The farm stand and goodies for sale/rent were great additions. We loved feeding the animals and walking the trail on the property.

A Truly Heartwarming Farm

Tent · With kids ·

From the moment we arrived at Burks Barns Barnyard Camping, Melissa and Gary made us feel like part of the family. Gary greeted us with a warm smile and a welcome jar of honey from his very own bee farm — such a thoughtful touch! They went above and beyond to make our stay special, especially for our 6-year-old. Gary took the time to give him a close-up introduction to the farm animals, which absolutely made his day. Watching him light up while meeting the animals — from the friendly pigs to the curious chickens and proud roosters — was an unforgettable memory for us all. The campsites were spotless, well-kept, and thoughtfully equipped with little extras for our comfort, making our stay as relaxing as it was fun. If you’re looking for a camping getaway with genuine hospitality, beautiful surroundings, and a true taste of farm life, look no further. We can’t wait to come back again!

My son and I loved camping on Sarah’s land with our family over the weekend . we were at campsite two it was absolutely mesmerizing. The directions were very clear that you can’t get lost on which campsite is where. They have an amazing variety of things at their farm stand. And the fact that you get chickens and roosters to come right up to you and have a personal interaction with them at your campsite is amazing it was one of my son’s favorite parts being there over the weekend and going from absolutely terrified of them once we first got there to 10 minutes later being one with the chickens😂. There were other campsites with other amazing people. My son got to make some amazing memories with other kids at the campsite next to us. And the fact when it’s night the stars are absolutely beautiful to look at while having a smore over the campfire. And the fact you can sesh at your campsite without any worry’s about the kiddos being up your butt the whole time, they were on there own little adventures through either there wood path or going into the inclosure to take a look at their ducks, turkeys & their pigs pumpkin and Louis definitely an opportunity for the kids to have a one on one interaction with them . We’re definitely coming back next year for more adventures to come !

It's private, beautiful and you will have everything you need from wood for the fire to fresh eggs. I was gifted a jar of honey when I got there and all my questions were answered very fast, as I had never been to the area before. I would and will go back in a heartbeat! Beautiful place and hosts.

Site 5 - Double Duty!

Had a fantastic time at Burke's Farm Site 5! The site was private and peaceful, perfect for a family getaway. The kids loved interacting with the animals, and we took Melissa’s recommendation to visit a nearby beach—great for swimming and relaxing. Highly recommend!

Chickens! Giant turkeys! Nice spot.

It was a lovely place, everyone was friendly. We got in late and were pretty tired so stuck to ourselves. In the morning we spent some time with the chickens and animals and they were super cute and awesome. Great place.

THE BEST

Tent · With pets ·

This was our 2nd summer visiting Burkes Barnyard with our (now) 3 year old! It’s the perfect place to enjoy the perks and company of barnyard animals safely, while you unwind and relax. We’ve stayed on rainy afternoons and enjoyed puddles with the ducks, and on gorgeous days basking in the sunshine like Pumpkin&Lewis LOL! Weather doesn’t matter, it will always be a magical experience here! It’s absolutely worth noting that the hosts are incredible! They go above and beyond for their visitors in so many ways, plus you can see and feel the love/passion going into this beautiful space they have created. Always a wonderful experience, can’t wait to visit again 😊 (Thank you so, SO much Melissa&Gary!!! We hope to be back soon!💞✌️✨)

Fun experience great for kids!

Tent · With kids ·

Everything was as described, very convenient water available close to campsite, picnic table, fire pit. Very family friendly, we were lucky to be the only people in all campsites so we enjoyed the place to ourselves. My children got entertained with the chickens for HOURS! We loved hearing the turkeys and the roosters sing. It's truly a beautiful experience. Gary and Melissa are great hosts, very kind and easy to reach out to if we needed anything. During the day we did little road trips, to the Eagle's nest lookout on Manitou mountain and the Bonnechere caves. Our kids 2 and 3 years old loved both! We visited mid June, make sure you bring LOTS of bug spray.

Nice little cabin for a quick stay.

Three things: Warm showers before sunset; No electricity of any kinds in the cabin; Closest towns with supermarkets, Shoppers, restaurants, laundry and car washes are Bancroft and Haliburton.

Amazing camping spot

My partner and I rented the small cabin with queen size mattress and the 2 nights we spent were extremely comfortable. The cabin was tidy, same goes for their whole campsite! They’ve managed to create an authentic and fun experience allowing you to feed their chickens, turkeys and pigs, providing canoe rental/drop off to beautiful lakes nearby and even personalized reiki sessions. Highly recommend!! Great place for kids too

Hidden Gem Campsite

Tent ·

Family friendly, small, but very private campground. Bugs were minimal when we went in the beginning of August. Chickens and pigs are incredibly friendly and will eat ANYTHING. We got lucky while we were there, the neighbours were moving their cows to another grazing field and they came in into the field behind our campsite! Very cool experience. The campground is also central to a couple hiking places, like Eagles Nest in Bancroft and Egan Chutes Provincial Park. The campground also had a small convenience-like store where you could borrow or rent items like games, or camping gear, and you could buy snacks like smores kits!

If you want a quiet, private, fun, 420 friendly camping experience, we highly recommend Burke’s Barnyard! Melissa and Gary are both super kind and welcoming hosts who have gone the extra mile to make sure you have an enjoyable stay on their awesome property. We rented their air bed last minute as we forgot the cap to ours at home, and they inflated it for us and everything. Their Hot Box tiny “store” is great if you’re a forgetful camper - it’s stocked with everything you might need (we bought some freezies which saved us on a hot July day). We stayed on the Hidden Gem site - definitely recommend if you’re wanting privacy as the rest of the sites are similar to a provincial park in distance/visibility to each other. But sites 4 & 5 (Double Duty) are quite private and secluded! And all the sites are a generous size. There is a wide variety of adorable and friendly farm animals to see, and chickens galore (watch your food hahaha)! The pig ate an apple right out of my hand! And there was also a herd of cows on the other side of the fence that we got to see up close. A beautiful farm experience :) Just be prepared to be woken up early - farm animals don’t care that you want to sleep in, and you’re in their house! As well, the rustic outdoor cold shower was perfectly refreshing. There are also some short trails to explore the property. All in all, a wonderful weekend spent at Burke’s Barnyard and we will definitely return!

We enjoyed our time here. It was a nice spot. They have everything you need in their little farm stand. The chickens and turkeys were fun to hangout with. A nice beach just up the road. Bancroft is filled with incredible views.
