Offering a serviced camping site for tents for up to 4 persons, with a firepit, two hammock chairs, rustic toilet, cold (sun-warmed) shower in season, a large deck with bar-height table and two chairs, four lawn chairs, floating dock, garbage and recycling bins, canoe and private 1.5 acre lake! Parking is right at the campsite, following a 400m tractorway over grass. This tractorway enters and exits onto the county road independent of the host’s private home driveway.
Our small, bio-diverse farm is in a quiet location but only 10km from shops and cafes. Our property is run with minimal chemical inputs. The lake supports fish, turtles, thousands of tree frogs in the spring, and musk rat, woodland ducks, and heron. You may also see rare bobolinks, barn swallows, and bats in summer. Star gazing is very good, there is very little light pollution. Tall poplar trees provide shade and shelter as well as pleasant sounds of the wind.
Footwear is advised. Conditions underfoot are usually good, we do try to keep poison ivy in check but it does pop up here and there.

Welcome to The Sanctuary. I purchased this property in 2022 and am excited to share a piece of Canadian history with guests.
This site is home to one of the oldest churches in Canada, erected in 1860 as a Wesleyan Methodist church. The congregation was known for its “methodical” devotion to prayer and social justice, including support of the Underground Railroad. They were also famously teetotalers (no alcohol), and the church likely served as a local hub for the Temperance movement in 1800s Oxford Centre. In 1925, it joined the United Church of Canada, and the congregation eventually folded in 2021.
There are still occasional church services held on the property, so if you are staying, please be respectful. Guests are welcome to attend services when available. Please note that I am the property owner and have no formal affiliation with the church other than being the landlord.
There is a decommissioned graveyard on site, with the last burial taking place in 1921. Please respect those laid to rest here.
In 1970, an F4 tornado passed through Oxford County, approximately 1 km wide, and destroyed much of the surrounding area—except this church. The roof was lost during the storm, but the original stained glass survived. The tornado destroyed around 30 homes, and the nearby Anglican church was later rebuilt across the street. Some grave markers were displaced into surrounding fields, and recovered pieces were returned and placed in a corner section of the graveyard. Rest in peace.
Behind the church is a designated camping area for tents. Please respect the graveyard and do not set up camp beyond the church building. You are welcome to pay your respects, but no disrespectful or harmful activity is permitted on this part of the land.
Things to do nearby:
• Pittock Conservation Area (Woodstock) – 15 min: Large park with walking trails and a lake

This place has become my favourite year round trip! Between the quiet and the lovely farm, the animals and the adventures you can conquer I SUGGEST COMING BY AND STAYING ! Plus OBVIOUSLY BROOKS AND RUBY the best tour guides you can ask for, so lovable and so welcoming! It's like 10 minutes outside of Woodstock so supplies are easy to come by and the market they have makes it even better for farm fresh foods!!! Highly suggest staying here and enjoying the lovely accommodations they have!

Second time staying here and just as wonderful as the first. Sara and Mark were available for any needs and are really friendly, they want you to really enjoy your time there. It shows from all of the extras they have set up, from free firewood to a 5gallon container of drinking water, well kept campsite, and hammock chairs to relax in. It's like a little peace of heaven.

Stayed at this site over the weekend and can't say enough about how peaceful it was. The hosts were kind and accommodating. Sarah and Mark thought of all the details one might need when camping. I didn't have to bring anything for the BBQ or campfire, it was all provided. 5 gallon water for drinking and washing dishes. Outhouse right at campsite. There is a pond with a canoe which was nice to use. Their dogs Honey and Maple stopped by for a visit on their walks, they are adorable! The campsite is at the back of their farm so you pass by ducks and horses along the way. They checked in through the stay to see if I needed anything. There are 2 hammock chairs which were great to relax on. Anyone looking for a relaxing, laid back time to refresh, this is the place. I will definitely return and recommend this place.

We loved tent camping at Greener Pastures!!
Carl and Andrea have done so much work to keep visitors feeling welcome and curious!
With tons of fields, animals, and areas to explore, we didn't get bored once! Our toddler had an absolute blast with all the animals, and we especially enjoyed the guided tour with Andrea. We learned all about the hard work that goes into sustainable farming, and even tasted the difference from their farm store. Seriously, do not miss out on the meat!!

I went to celebrate both my birthday and my dog’s birthday at this farm and we absolutely loved it! My dog made friends with the owners’ dogs, which was so sweet. We stayed for two nights and the hosts were always just a text away — whenever I needed something, they were there to help. The place where we stayed even had Wi-Fi, which was a huge plus. I really enjoyed walking around the farm with my dog. I would 100% come back with my dog and definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a quick and relaxing getaway.

Always a pleasure to visit this spot, and to spend time with Honey and Maple.
Chris and Sara are awesome and have always been what I would consider the top of the line kind of hosts.
You could never ask for more and the value can not be beat and to find out we went there to celebrate my birthday to find out it was Sara's birthday legendary.

This was our first camping experience in many years and we couldn't have asked for a better place to do it! There were a number of campsites available and as it was not too busy there, Darlene allowed us to set up at any site of our choosing. There was running water right at the site, which was such a benefit to us! The washrooms and showers (so spacious!) were well maintained and convenient to use. And the horses were beautiful, it was such a relaxing stay hanging out with the horses and the owners' wonderfully energetic dog. We would definitely come back for another stay!

We had such a wonderful experience at this private campsite! From the moment we arrived, everything was peaceful, clean, and well taken care of. The site felt private and tucked away, giving us the perfect mix of relaxation and nature. The hosts were quick to answer any questions we had, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The grounds were spacious and quiet, with lots of room to set up comfortably. We especially love the sunset view in the evening and how they put a swing on a tree for kids to enjoy! You can tell the owners put a lot of thought into creating a comfortable, safe, and family-friendly space.
If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway where you can enjoy nature without the crowds, this is the place to be. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone who wants a private camping experience.

We picked the spot with unobstructed access to the sky, and it was perfect. Set off from the road, you'll hear an occasional vehicle but it's really not a problem. It was a great spot. Our dog met the two friendly dogs on the farm, and she absolutely loved sleeping on the grass outside our rig. She would've been there all night if we allowed it!
