We purchased this farm in 1998 from the previous farmer who had owned it since 1929. The train line ran right by the gate where the Kota hut now sits and would drop cattle right there to be finished and sold later at the Toronto Stockyards. Our barn was built in 1890 with the old farmhouse located across the creek.  Two creeks meet the Grand River on our farm. The bunkie is situated north of the barn and faces Willow creek. During the summer the creek gets quite shallow but there are a couple of pools that work nicely for a float with our river tubes. The river also has a small swimming hole. The bunkie is nestled between 2 hills which creates a natural little valley. Campers can take a walk around the property or use the nearby long walking trail. New this spring, campers will be able to enjoy the firewood sauna, located close to the bunkie and nestled in a private spot near the creek.PLEASE BE ADVISED, THERE ARE 2DOGS RUNNING FREE ON THIS FARM. THEY WILL NOT BE LOCKED UP OR TIED TO ACCOMODATE GUESTS. THIS IS THEIR HOME. OUR GUESTS ENJOY INTERACTION WITH THE DOGS AND IT IS PART OF THE EXPERIENCE. Welcome to Camp Willowbrook!  The Bighorn bunkie is nestled between 2 hills just north of the barn and faces Willow creek. The hills create a perfect little valley, completely private and secluded with only a century old barn to silhouette the landscape. During the summer the creek gets quite shallow but there are a couple of pools that work nicely for a float with our river tubes. The  nearby river also has a small swimming hole if you are looking to cool off. You can take a walk around the property or use the nearby long walking trail which can take you right to Grand Valley or all the way to Author if you are adventurous. You can spend a relaxing evening in the sauna, then cool yourself off in the creek or use our soaking trough. Join us for an evening meal or just enjoy the fire in our Kota Hut. You can bike or hike into Grand Valley where there are restaurants, a grocery store, and a liquor store! Only 3-4 kilometers away!  Access to hiking trails and Belwood Lake 10-15 minute drive. Luther Marsh is also  close by for nature enthusiasts. Orangeville is also about 15-20 minutes away for all of your camping needs! Please bring your own linens!
