A piece of heaven is what awaits you here. If you're looking for privacy your search is over. Imagine having your own island you reach by walking across the 15 metre covered bridge with a few areas to set up your tent(s) from where you'll fall asleep listening to the sound of the spring flowing into the pond, what bliss. The other site has a large rectangular pond of its own to ensure everyone has privacy. Your drinking water comes from Mother Nature, not a well, true spring water that's icy cold and so refreshing. The property is mostly 50 yr old pine trees with a couple walking trails throughout. There are two spring fed ponds which makes them revitalizing on a hot day when you go for a swim. We are located 10 minutes away from the town of Hanover and the Allan Park Conservation is right beside us and has numerous walking and off road bicycling trails. The Saugeen River is 5 minutes away which you can kayak or tube down, too much fun that is. Our property offers beautiful scenery, virtual privacy, you see glimpses of our home, peace and tranquility with the backdrop of Mother Nature to be heard, geese, wild turkeys, deer, lots of songbirds, coyotes and oh yes, our big friendly lovable mutt Walker and the two new dogs who ate getting loveable, Bella and Hunter. The sunsets can be spectacular and later the stars twinkle above and maybe you'll even see a satellite high above while you're stargazing. Each site has a table (you'll need to bring lawn chairs), firepit with a cooking grill, and a supply of wood you'll have to purchase from us upon arrival, as we are a forestry managed property. An outhouse is a pleasant walk within minutes of the site. Water for dishes and general washing can just be taken from the pond (DO NOT DRINK) Not that it would kill you, lol. Ray will keep you supplied with fresh spring water for drinking. Also, the covered bridge is there if, HEAVEN FORBID, it rains, where you can seek coverage and watch and listen to it fall. New to this site is a solar powered string of 300 lights, two single person floats, and a hammock for your added enjoyment. There are numerous things to do within a 15 minute drive. A couple dams, 2 conservation parks, drive-in theatre, casino, horse racing, small stock car racing track (great for young kids), two local breweries, a busy local butcher and the Saugeen River. With more destinations as you move outward. We promise you won't be disappointed and can't wait to share our piece of Heaven with you. TAKE NOTE You will be charged $500 per bag/item of refuse you leave behind. WE DO NOT HAVE GARBAGE PICKUP, besides which you are supposed to leave the site as you found it. CANCELATIONS: IF you cancel within two weeks of your arrival date, your money will NOT be refunded nor will you be able to change the date. We are sorry for this, but we only have a short season, and you'll be using up double the time you booked for. Terry and Ray P.S. Should you wish to come during off season please get in touch and if it's feasible we'll open up.

Loved the tent camping here, such a beautiful property and the view was amazing, even the drive in was great too. Terry and Ray are fantastic hosts even gave us a walk around their property to see everything. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves camping.

Island Oasis

Such a great spot and welcoming hosts. We were met with a lot of rain, but were able to find flat high ground for our tent and lots of spots for tarps and rain cover + Terry and Ray have a fire cover so we could keep the fire going regardless of the weather. Looking forward to a dryer visit to this wonderful place in the future

Beautiful spot with so many thoughtful touches and treats care of Terry and Ray. Their hospitality is really what stands out :) The spring fed ponds were clear and beautiful - lovely for swimming and floating the day away on one of their many fun water toys. The island feels magical, especially entering through the covered bridge! Enjoyed stargazing, their comfy hammocks, forest walks, all of the amazing birdsong, and amazing value for the heaps of good wood they provide. We really enjoyed our two night stay and will definitely be coming back next summer with some friends 💕 Thank you Terry and Ray! You treated us so well!

Exceptional stay!

Terry greeted us upon arrival and we felt right at home. The property is absolutely gorgeous and you could tell they took care on every detail to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The fresh spring water was such a bonus and they always made sure we were topped up. The fishing was great, even caught the big one! Being close to town was convenient to run out and grab some groceries but still feeling like we were surrounded by nature. We will definitely be back as Terry and Ray are excellent hosts and you feel right at home on their beautiful property.

A great spot!

We absolutley loved this property. There is so much room to go with a group and Ray and Terry were so pleasent to speak with. The natural spring pond was shallow, but so refreshing and clean. Highly recommend bringing a floaty. The land was well kept and seemingly very loved.
