Sara is a Star Host
Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.
Offering a serviced camping site for tents for up to 4 persons, with a firepit, two hammock chairs, rustic toilet, cold (sun-warmed) shower in season, a large deck with bar-height table and two chairs, four lawn chairs, floating dock, garbage and recycling bins, canoe and private 1.5 acre lake! Parking is right at the campsite, following a 400m tractorway over grass. This tractorway enters and exits onto the county road independent of the host’s private home driveway. Our small, bio-diverse farm is in a quiet location but only 10km from shops and cafes. Our property is run with minimal chemical inputs. The lake supports fish, turtles, thousands of tree frogs in the spring, and musk rat, woodland ducks, and heron. You may also see rare bobolinks, barn swallows, and bats in summer. Star gazing is very good, there is very little light pollution. Tall poplar trees provide shade and shelter as well as pleasant sounds of the wind. Footwear is advised. Conditions underfoot are usually good, we do try to keep poison ivy in check but it does pop up here and there.Camp site choices on mown grass with private small lake, with parking right at the camp site. There are no hook ups but bottled drinking water is available (maximum 5 gallons/day) and 5 mins walking distance (400m) there is a power supply for charging batteries etc and use of a fridge freezer (at your own risk) in our roadside stand open 24/7.
