Monarch Meadows has to be one of our favourite camping spots. It’s peaceful and beautiful. The river water was so nice to relax in. We watched fireflies light up the night and woke to the sound of coyotes howling in the distance. Such a magical place

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the site had sun until around 2pm which was ideal as we had a hot few days - the shade of the tree was very welcome. The river was perfect for cooling down. The outhouse is basic (bucket with a lid) but it worked, no issues. David was responsive and made himself available to move our stuff up & down. We'll be back!

Great, peaceful spot. David was extremely courteous and welcomed us. The fireflies were lovely. We fished and hung out on the property. It’s very serene down near the water.

This camping spot was amazing and David was super helpful and kind! It was peaceful and quiet, lots of wildlife too! We got paid for the upgrade where David sets up a tent, air mattress and lends us a mini generator for charging as well which was totally worth it. We also have lots of dogs and it was a perfect spot for us and them.

Great little spot. Private, far enough away to feel secluded, right next to the river. Saw fish, birds, deer; classic experice and the site was clean and maintained.

What a gorgeous spot! It feels really private and my dog loved romping around in the river. Also a great spot for bird watchers - lots of bald eagles, herons, sparrows and song birds! I was also treated to a chorus of coyotes in the night, I loved it!

We had a such a great 2 nights at Riverview. David was waiting for us upon arrival, which was great for me and my 2 kids. I recommend the Glamping bundle- we were later arrivals and earlier departure, so it was nice to not have to set up and dismantle a tent. Perfect site for the kids and dog!! Will definitely be back.

David was a wonderful host. We're not avid campers I felt like we were bugging David a bit to much than I'd like but, he helped us out a lot. The apot is nice and well maintained and very close to the river. A nice secluded spot to wind down.

My second time to camp at Monarch Meadows Tree Farm these summer, brought my family 21/2 grand daughter and a dog what else to say we all “LOVE IT” we had so much fun, played games, guys went fishing for hours. Storm on our first night but nothing stop us, like my husband said its camping lol, but the best of all star gazing the moon is out so beautiful.
David was so accomodating he will help you in every way to make you feel home, and his daughter who was with him on the day we arrived shes a sweetie.
Definitely were going back to camp again, its peaceful place to enjoy time with family and life in nature.

The site was beautiful and well set up. Being right on the river was great to cool off on a hot day. The view at sunrise was stunning.
David was a great host, very helpful and quick to respond.
Would definitely stay again!

My second visit to David’s property and once again it was excellent. David is a fantastic host and the camping site is wonderful. Lots of shade - which was very helpful during this heat wave. And a beautiful view of the river - which I love.

This is one of our favourite local places to go for a quick getaway. Peaceful and quiet, shady, on the water, in the middle of nature. Absolutely recommend if you're looking for a bit of down time and relaxation.

We loved tent camping on David’s land! David was easy to communicate with and helped us bring down our gear. As described, it is a bit of a trek down the trail to the site, but we were able to do it multiple times without issue. The site was exactly as described, but pictures don’t even do it justice! It was so beautiful and serene. The large tree helped provide some shade and the water was very refreshing to cool off in. Our dog absolutely loved running and splashing around off-leash. The site is surrounded by tall plants and felt very private for our reactive dog. We could hear and see some other campers off in the distance from the water but it was not disruptive at all. There was a nice trail on-site and there are great hikes and restaurants a short drive away. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend.

We had an amazing weekend at Monarch Meadows! Everything was better than we could have ever hoped! David was so helpful and communicative. There were also so many thoughtful details put into our stay such as having a big bin full of things that we could forget. It was also so great to have the firewood provided and to also not worry about bringing chairs. The location was also perfect as it was between London, St. Mary’s, and Thorndale, providing tons of activities. And then, not to mention the view!!!! It was just stunning and we spend our first night stargazing. I would recommend this site to everyone for tent camping and hope to even come back!

We went as a small group of 3 people and 2 dogs, We loved the privacy, the dogs were off leash periodically, and we let them into the water a few times. I do recommend you get dog water shoes for the dogs because our dogs had scuffed paws from slipping on the rocks too much. Other than that our stay was absolutely stunning and amazing.
Our host David was absolutely amazing, we left a little early and he had no issues with helping us get our stuff back to cars, he was very understanding and helpful!
In conclusion, we will definitely be coming back to camp this site!

Sweet campsite! Nice little nook space, complete privacy. We stayed on hot days but the giant tree shade & steep little hill behind us made for really good temperature control.

Enjoyed our time on the secluded site along the river's edge! It was a great spot for birdwatching! While the amenities are minimal, you're sure to have a great time if you come prepared.

Beautiful spot. Cannot recommend it enough. We swam in the water, cooked food over the fire, and there was quiet— except for the chattering of animals, which is wonderful.
