100% of recent Hipcampers say the sites felt private.
We are excited to welcome you to our 156-acre property on the beautiful Tay River. This gorgeous acreage is situated along the South bank of the river with over 2000ft of frontage and multiple sites for campers to enjoy. Rolling hills, Protected Forests, Open Fields, Canadian Shield, and Eco-Thriving RVCA Wetlands with many trails and roadways connecting them all. Until recently this property had been in the same family for 150 years and has seen many years of transformation while remaining very much untouched. There is an abundance of wildlife that you will encounter as you roam the grounds! We kindly ask that you respect their privacy, as we are new to the grounds and intend on being good neighbours. The historic town of Perth is only 5 minutes drive east along Christie Lake Rd, with all the conveniences and amenities needed. Shops, restaurants, parks, art galleries, antique shops, and a bustling downtown will keep you entertained should you wish to make the trip into town.

156 Historic Acres on the Tay River
Had a great time on the Tay River. I stayed at Site 3 which was pretty remote from the other sites and exactly what I was looking for. It's a little rough to get to so make sure you have a car with some clearance, but it really wasn't that bad. The site overlooks the river and it was pretty easy to get into and the water was a perfect temperature. Wish I had brought a canoe! At night you can hear the highway but it's not any more than the background noise at provincial parks. Highly recommend and looking forward to the next visit. Thanks Drew!

Great private area at site #3! A bit of a walk to the outhouse, however worth the walk for how clean the facilities are. Futurewashroom site looks fantastic

A great camping experience!
This was my first trip using Hipcamp and the host of this property did not disappoint! Clear and consider instructions, BBQ and super clean outhouse nearby, and a float down the Tay River was refreshing during this hot weekend! A great and quiet alternative to the busier provincial parks, will definitely book with this host again! Thanks!

We had a good time here. Directions to get to the camp were great. We were supposed to meet Tom upon arrival but we ended up late and he was no longer around. We couldn’t find our site at first as there are no signs at each designated site. Drew was very helpful when we called him and pointed us in the right direction. Firewood was already at the site which was clean with a nice fire pit. Lots of privacy as well. Beautiful property with access to the river and a paddle boat ready for our use if we wanted it. We would camp here again. We stayed at site 1 with our 14ft teardrop camper and Dodge Ram truck. Plenty of space for a camper that size.

Cool spot right on the Tay River. Extremely peaceful and private, yet only 5 minutes to downtown Perth. Would definitely come back!
