It was 1984 when John found his ‘diamond in the rough’, 20 acres with an orchard on the outskirts of Brantford. O.K., so the house was nothing to write home about but perfect for building a construction yard…no neighbors except for the family across the road that used their property to build log homes. By 1987 the old house was gone, a new one was being built and a shop for working on heavy equipment had been located about 200 ft. from Dr. the back door. It wasn’t until 1996 that things changed very much. Yes, the property around the house had benefitted from a wide array of trees and shrubs that John saved from the construction/demolition jobs he had done and that still thrive today but no big projects (except for equipment purchases) were ongoing. A chance meeting with the neighbor across the road one day resulted in the following dinner conversation, ‘How was your day’ I chirped. ‘Not bad, so-and-so didn’t come in; the truck broke down and I took it for repair; I bought the property across the road, and oh, yeah I’ll need a ride after dinner to pick up the truck’ was John’s casual reply. ‘What was that’? I pressed. ‘Yes, I need a ride after dinner to pick up the truck’ he repeated with a bit more volume. Of course like anyone, I had questions, ‘Do you want peas or corn with dinner’? ‘What time do you want to go to get the truck’? ‘The property across the road’, 10 acres, still has the 4 storey barn with its twin tiled silos which was built in 1914 and the big white house with wrap around porch that once was home to a Doctor and his family. Built so the Doctor could see his patients in the front with the family living in the back was very common in the day. Things remained relatively peaceful until 2000 when after studying alpacas for more than 6 years I bought our first three. Back in 2000 alpacas and llamas were not frequently seen on farms and because they could been seen from the road they received A LOT of attention. People driving by would stop and ask about them, ask if they could take a picture or two and that was when I would hear over and over again ‘You have a beautiful place here, I wish I/we could stay’. Well, if you want to visit and stay in the city it’s doable, we call it a hotel. But visiting a farm and staying well, that isn’t so easy. Each year we would see more and more families coming to ‘The Farm’ as they would call it. Some came to see the alpacas and horses, some came for a stroll and to check out the horse drawn milk and bread delivery wagons, some to have family birthday parties, others to have engagement/wedding/Christmas card pictures…and so many asked if there was any way they could spend a day or two. In 2021 during a conversation with a friend I mentioned we were in the process of gutting the 1100 sq. ft. space downstairs and turning it into an Airbnb! Right away she said, ‘I don’t know why you don’t have a Hipcamp? You’ve got that great area by the new barn that Hipcampers would love’! After a little investigation I found out what a Hipcamp was and the rest is history.

Enjoy over 15 acres of beautiful land! Perfect for pitching a tent or parking your camper van, RV, or trailer. A wonderful family-friendly (including pets!) getaway close to Paris (10-min. drive), Brantford (10-min. drive), Cambridge (20-min. drive), and Hamilton/Dundas (Niagara Escarpment a 20-min. drive). We provide you with a fire pit and a picnic table. Awaken to the sound of more than 50 different birds; cute alpacas and horses that are always happy to meet you. And, of course, there is ‘Fletchette’, a 22-year-old, banded red-tail hawk who has made one of those Norway Spruce Trees her home. The Grand River only 10 minutes away provides endless water activities. For hiking and biking you can’t beat the Niagara Escarpment’s trails, and let’s not forget the endless number of festivals that occur every week in this area! We have 5 sites, semi-secluded and surrounded by 80-year-old Norway Spruce Tree, with an orchard view. Both sites can be accessed by a traditional car, no off-roading or 4-wheel drive vehicle required. We look forward to hosting you soon.

Campers consistently praise Karen's farm as a welcoming and peaceful retreat. The property is lauded for its beautiful views, clean facilities, and the charming presence of alpacas and horses. Karen's warmth and hospitality, along with her engaging farm tours, leave a lasting impression on visitors. While the porta-potty's location is noted as slightly inconvenient, overall experiences at the farm are overwhelmingly positive.

We had a wonderful stay! The sunrise site is very private and spacious, with a beautiful view overlooking a huge open grass field. It’s such a peaceful spot to relax and enjoy nature. Karen was super friendly and welcoming! She gave us an informative tour of the property, let us interact with the animals, and shared some great recommendations for local places to visit. One thing worth mentioning for anyone particular about washrooms: the toilet is a portable flushing toilet. It was well-maintained and clean, so we had no issues with it. Overall, a lovely camping experience. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend The Farm!

Host Karen is super nice and very knowledgeable about the neighborhood and history of this town. It’s a very fun place for all age groups. She can take you on a tour of her farm where you can interact with alpacas. The area is safe and the porta-potty was very clean. We just wish it was more centralized between all the sites rather than closer to the other sites, where we had to walk around a barn to reach it or walk through the other sites to reach it faster. Nevertheless, the experience there was awesome and would go again.

My girlfriend and I had the most amazing stay at Karen’s farm! 🐴🦙🤍 From the moment we arrived, Karen was so warm, welcoming, and genuinely lovely. She gave us an amazing tour of the property and made us feel completely at home. The horses, alpacas, and llamas were SO cute, and the entire property is absolutely beautiful and incredibly well maintained. It has that special cozy, peaceful feeling where you immediately feel at home. Karen was also so helpful with recommendations for things to do nearby. She suggested the Grand River, where we rented canoes and had such an amazing time — and it was dog-friendly, which was perfect for us! 🐶🛶 She also recommended an amazing sandwich shop that did not disappoint. And if you’re looking for something fun in the evening, Steel Wheel Brewery is super close by, dog-friendly, and had live music when we went. Such a great spot! Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Karen made our stay so special, and we’re already looking forward to coming back. Highly, highly recommend! 🤍🌾🐴

Karen is the best host you could ask for. Friendly, quick to respond and splendid company. We were lucky enough to see a perfect sunset and then had a tour of Karen's farm in the morning. The site itself is quiet and easy to find. I hope that I get a chance to stay at the farm again!

I stayed at the Sunrise Spot and absolutely enjoyed it. It was private spot, with nothing but the sounds of the country and the farm to enjoy. Karen was an absolute sweetheart and made the stay even better. She’s so friendly, great communication on the app and welcoming at the site. It’s incredibly easy to get lost in conversation with her. I’d happily stay here again and definitely recommend the Sunrise Spot to anyone looking for a relaxing, country, campspot, getaway.

The Canada site
We had such a great time at The Farm. My friend and I just needed a quick trip out of the city, and this was exactly what we were looking for. The location is really nice. You're close to Brantford and Paris if you need anything, but it still feels far enough out that you actually get some peace and quiet. Best of both worlds. We originally booked the Canadian site but switched over to Sunrise. Nothing against the first spot, we just checked the weather and realized we didn't need the overhead cover since it wasn't going to rain. I'm really glad we moved, though. Sunrise is more set back from the other sites, and the two mounds on either side give it a nice enclosed, private feel. Plus you wake up to the sun coming up right in front of you, which is pretty great. Karen is the real standout here. She knows so much about the animals, she has all the local history, and she's genuinely funny. She really made our stay memorable. Do not skip the farm tour, it's worth doing. The camping itself was great, but Karen is worth the price of admission all on her own. We'd definitely come back!

My stay here was so much more than just a place to pitch a tent, it was a genuinely transformative experience. Karen went above and beyond as a host. She took the time to give us an amazing tour of the property, but what truly set this trip apart was the incredible conversation, wisdom, and immense inspiration she shared with us. You can tell how much love and care she puts into her land and her guests. If you’re looking for a peaceful stay hosted by an extraordinary, warm, and inspiring soul, look no further. I left feeling completely recharged and deeply grateful. I can't wait to come back! Thank you, Karen, for your incredible hospitality and for sharing your beautiful haven with us!

Karen is a great host, making her rounds in the evening, making sure all have wood, with invitations to participate in a farm tour in the morning to meet the animals. Nice community of campers that happens. Bring something to ward off the flies if the farm next door is fertilizing his fields. Karen is a great host and also keeps an immaculate porty potty!
