I don’t see any value in the price and had a horrible sleep with bass pumping and a baby crying. I’ve stayed at HipCamps where there’s a lot more value for the cost. They don’t nickel and dime you. You can be a profitable business without being greedy. $87 to toss a tent for the night is excessive. I couldn’t use the washroom and had to drive into town.

Amazing Host, Horses and Stargazing
Tent ¡
⛺Forest or Meadow-Quaint Horse farm
We had an amazing time here. Wendi is super friendly and thoughtful, she checked what we needed and reminded us about the cold. The horse experience was the best part. Grooming them felt so calming and the horses are beautiful and very friendly. The firewood amount is really generous and lasts a long time. The campsite is spacious with lots of privacy. At night it was perfect for stargazing, I saw so many stars and even a few shooting stars. The toilet is very clean and everything here feels well cared for. I also admire how much Wendi and her family have built in just a few years, they are really living my dream life. Overall this was way better than camping in a provincial park. Highly recommend and I will definitely come back.

Peaceful Fall Retreat
Yurt/Bell Tent on our 🐴 Horse farm
We, three moms looking for a little escape, couldn’t have picked a more perfect spot for our fall weekend. From the moment we arrived, everything about this place felt quietly magical. The setting is absolutely beautiful—peaceful, natural, restorative. The rustle of autumn leaves, crisp fresh air, and unspoiled surroundings made it easy to slow down and breathe. It’s rare to find somewhere so serene, where you can truly unwind. The host was thoughtful and attentive in all the right ways. The tent was comfortable and well-prepared; everything was clean, cared for, and exactly what we needed. The out houses were immaculate—so well kept that they felt more like a pleasant surprise than an afterthought. We left feeling refreshed, reconnected, and inspired. Thank you for the kindness, the care, and the chance to rest in such a lovely place. We very much hope to return!

Tent camping at Three Ponds was such a lovely experience! The directions to our site were clear and easy to follow, and it was a real treat to have a camp fire and sleep outdoors following our trip to the Rama Pow Wow. The property is gorgeous, and has everything one needs for a comfortable stay. We opted to meet the horses the next morning, and it was so worth it! They were all such sweet and lovely creatures, and Wendi made it such a calm and informative experience! Checking out the peaceful koi pond afterwards was also lovely; would absolutely recommend to friends/ return again!

Yurt/Bell Tent on our 🐴 Horse farm
We stumbled upon this rustic glamping site by chance last year, and it was such a wonderful find that we couldn’t wait to return. This year, we came back with friends for a longer stay, and it was even better than we remembered. The setting is absolutely beautiful – peaceful, surrounded by nature, and perfect for truly unwinding. Wendi is lovely, welcoming, and always happy to help, which made the experience feel even more special. One of the highlights for us were the amazing horses they’re gentle, majestic, and added something magical to our stay. We can’t recommend this place enough if you’re looking for a unique, relaxing escape. We’ll definitely be back again!

Lovely spot with different types of camp sites for basic to glamping. Wendi was easy to communicate with, provided clear directions, and the firewood she provides is nice. Plus it was DRY! Especially with it being a rainy night, she thoughtfully placed it under a tree. We will definitely come back here again when we come to this area and spend more time here next time!

Wendi's campgrounds offer a complete backcountry adventure experience with clean and well-maintained washrooms. The camping grounds provide a picturesque setting for outdoor enthusiasts to immerse themselves in nature. The abundance of mosquitoes can be a drawback, but the campgrounds' well-kept grassy areas help minimize this issue. Wendi's campgrounds provide a perfect getaway for those seeking tranquility and adventure in the great outdoors.
