This beautiful spot was re-forested with pine a number of years ago, and was sectioned off from the surrounding farmland, which is now maintained by the mennonite community. It is 8 1/2 acres of wetland and forest, with a mown perimeter, and cool places to tuck into the forest for the night. The current owner was a special educator, and now is slowly turning the land into her homestead. There is a beautiful, spa quality outdoor shower next to a tidy and 'fancier than most' outhouse, a strawberry patch as well as wild alpine strawberries all over the property, a big dog and a small indoor cat keep her company. Here is what the land offers: -Bunkie in the Forest: A sweet 8x8 ft. space with new bunk and mattresses as of April 2023 -Strawberry Fields bunkie: an 10x12 space with a loft with a queen memory foam mattress and a main floor with a full futon and a small table -Campsites: Meadow, Forest and River spots. Close to each other, but you'd never know it! All three are chill and serene places. The property backs onto a ten-foot swimming hole in an otherwise shallow part of the Saugeen River. -RV Spot: With electric hook up ideal for RVs 30 feet and under -a connection to the organization, 'Black Folks Camp Too'! Welcoming to all!!!!! So much to see and do in the area!

Pine the Sky Campsites

A friend and I were doing a bikepacking trip and this was the perfect stop along the route to camp for the night. Joan was very responsive, the land was beautiful, and the shower was especially great after a long day on the bike.

Pine the Sky bunkie in the forest!

Peaceful and beautiful: a place to

My stay was perfect! We were transported to a beautiful and natural environment the moment we crossed the property line. The facilities provided are great! If you enjoy nature, you can not choose a better place! Moreover, nothing beats Joan's kindness, welcoming and pure good heart! (Although Onix and Sid deserve a special note, for they reflect Joan's beauty and made my dog so happy I almost feared losing him to his new best friends). In summary, we will return! 😍😍😍

Pine the Sky Campsites

Camping with friends/family

We loved camping on Joans property! I asked if could have a big private site close to the water for our kayaks & she provided just that!! 😊 Towns for shopping were somewhat close & hoggs falls was a short drive & it was beautiful! loved her dogs, Sid & Onyx became fast friends with my dog 😀 Only thing I would suggest is tons of bug spray !!

Strawberry Fields Bunkie

Great experience!

This was our first experience using hipcamp and it was well worth it. Joan is so friendly and her bunkie was an amazing stay! We took our toddler for her first camping trip here and we all had an amazing time. Joan's nature haven is good for all ages and super fun for little ones. The washroom is a very close distance to the bunkie and although we didn't use the shower during our stay, it's impressive. If you love stargazing, you will be amazed at the night sky. It was a pleasure meeting Joan and we will absolutely go back again!

Pine the Sky Campsites

Peaceful weekend!

We had a lovely weekend at Pine in the Sky! It was tranquil being in the middle of the woods and close to a peaceful river. Joan was an absolutely amazing host and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. She even lent us a thermacel for the weekend to keep the pesky mosquitos away! We would love to come back again.
