Loved camping at Chris's land, the river was great for a swim 🙌 He checked on us and made sure we have everything we need, and we felt welcomed.

We had a great weekend away on Chris’s private oasis! He situated us right on the water in a lovely shady spot, which was a huge bonus! He made it so personable which I loved, he even brought our kids a home made wood speaker so we could enjoy some tunes! He checked in on us and was a fantastic host. We can’t wait to return!

I loved this peacefull place in nature, with the sound of bird and the river near of us! It was the first time in many travel we can take time to make firecamp. Chris was really nice with us, taking time to speak and clean the fireplace with weedeather. He show us were we can take a cool down in the water. Thanks for this great place and the kind owner.

Chris’ property is very lush and secluded! He was an amazing host and was very polite. Though it rained majority of my stay, he checked in on me multiple times to make sure I was still okay setting up in the rain, and offered to help me. Am excited to book again with him!

Very beautiful spot we had right beside the river. Chris was very helpful and came to pickup at street and helped us to get through the muddy trails. I recommend you take all wheel drive if it's wet.

I was lucky enough to be the only camper so I had my choice of sites. Had 2 clear nights to watch the stars. If I'm able to book it again with no other campers it will be quite a thing. Chris was genuine when asked any questions and came to say hi the second day. You can tell he is truly interested in making people feel free to enjoy all that he offers!

Had a great time at the site. It was private and had lots of space + there was a toilet. The listing mentioned wood being provided which it was not, we just picked some up in a nearby town. One downside of the site is there is no easy access to the river, it's a drop at most points, but wasn't a deal breaker for us. The surrounding area is great and close to Southampton and Port Elgin for some beach time. It's really close to a major access to the river , roughly 2 minute drive so would be great for those kayaking the river

Relaxing calm camping with my dogs

Chris was attentive and caring so we could have a good time there. Our two dogs enjoyed running, swimming and exploring his beautiful huge property, and it's their heaven. My husband and I had a great relaxing time with the beautiful starry sky and peaceful forest sounds.
If you have a kayak or a canoe, and love fishing, Chris's place is the best since the river is just there!

So! This trip was very interesting. If you are looking for typical ontario parks type sites- this is not for you. If you are the type of person who thrives in the outdoors and can make it work, book it!
Upon arrival chris was all smiles. His team led us to camp. You drive through a beautiful trail of tall flowers. One of my favorite scenes. Mixes of purple, yellow, white.
The site we got was not in the woods but rather the field. We carved out our own spot in the bush along the water, creating a site with a fire pit. We made it work! The wood supplied was a great bonus. We did not have a grill supplied- but that didn't matter as we have our own camp stove.
The saugeen is a great view. You cannot access it from your site unless you build a rope down, which we did. However there is a trail where you can slide your boat or tube down. It is steep!
There was a trailer toilet and water. I recommend bringing drinking water and toilet paper. It was clean which was a good bonus.
Best thing is dogs off leash. I LOVE this option so much and it makes it more enjoyable for my 2 pups.
We launched our boat down the trail and picked it up at access point 10, a good 3 hour kayak if you're just relaxing.
Overall, it was nice and it was different. Busy for the long weekend and better when a bit quieter.
Campers were happy, owner is gracious, sun was shining. Just be prepared and adaptable and it will be a great trip for you like it was for our family :)

Chris is an incredible host with a gorgeous piece of land. He is the epitome of living life to the fullest. Such a happy guy, willing to help out and make your stay memorable. We had an unforgettable weekend camping on his property at the secluded cedar forest site, swimming and canoeing on the Saugeen river. We rented a canoe from Chris, and he personally drove us up river to a launch point so we could canoe back to camp. We’ll definitely be recommending this to friends, and we’ll DEFINITELY be back. Thank you, Chris!!

My partner and I and our two dogs had a wonderful camping trip! Chris is the nicest host ever , and puts such care into making sure you feel welcome and prepared for the weekend. Being able to have out dogs off leash, enjoy the property freely, and get some river and sun time made for the perfect weekend. We can’t wait to return 🤗

Awesome site and river access

Best campsite ever! There’s multiple campsites on this plot of land; it’s a great community camping vibe. Each site is private though. There’s a wide river nearby accessible by a 5 minute walk. Chris (host) was very welcoming and gave good directions.

I loved the privacy and the proximity to the river. Steep hill but we managed to get down and back up for a lovely swim in the river.
Special Thanks to Daniel who greeted us.
We will be back.
Thanks Chris

I loved tent camping on Chris's land. It was a long weekend, every park was fully booked since I started booking at the last minute. Then I thought maybe there would be some private camping sites. Then I found Hipcamp and luckily saw Chris's land was vacant to be booked. This was my first time camping on the private land. It was fantastic. The location of our camping site is hidden in the woods. It was roomy with great views and without any interruption from other groups. There were just my friends and I. Chris supplied us free firewood and his son helped us to move our stuff from our car to the site. I definitely will recommend my other friends to come and stay.

Great spot on the water. Not a lot of mosquitoes, which was surprising since you are right in the bush. Being in the trees have lots of shade from the hot sun. Lots of privacy. Chris was a great host. If you want to fish though you need waders or some type of boat. There is a canoe and kyack rental near by but you have to book ahead as it is a popular place.
