Pootcorner's is designed with space and options in mind for both RV camping and tent camping.

Pet friendly, this is a really nice location for dogs to get exercised as long as they're friendly with the other animals.

Back in the woods is where the tent camping is, it's quiet, private, and very open.

Purchased in 1989, this small piece of heaven was developed by Peter & Suelaine Poot into a home for their family and beginning in 2003, a welcoming alpaca farm. The bush area has been used for camping by many local and visiting scouting groups over the years. In 2021, we joined Hip Camp and now allow others to enjoy the beauty, peace, and challenges of camping in our bush. The alpacas are a peaceful herd to watch as they graze their way through the day. Crias (baby alpacas), love to pronk and play in the pastures near their mothers. During May you may observe us shearing the alpacas. June is the birthing and breeding month. They birth quickly, so watch carefully. Tours of the farm with explanations of the fibre harvest process and opportunities to walk the alpacas are available to be booked through our website. Recycling bins are available but please take non-recyclable garbage with you when you leave.

Later in the year, the occupants of that area may be some of the machos (breeding males) or the young girls, depending on the current conditions of the pastures.

Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
Camping at this alpaca farm offers a unique experience with the added charm of friendly hosts, Peter and Suelaine, who are more than happy to show guests around. The site is clean, with a mix of sun and shade, and provides a peaceful environment despite the occasional early morning feeding time for the alpacas. Guests can enjoy interacting with the alpacas and even help with feeding, making it a fun activity for both kids and adults. While the campsite is not entirely private, the overall experience is highly recommended for those looking for a quiet and welcoming stay in nature.

Lovely host! The toilet was very clean for a biffy! Beautiful view of the Alpacas. Learnt lots about the fluffy animals and were able to interact with them with the owner. Fall colours were gorgeous. Site had a fire pit, x4 chairs, and a nice mix of sun and shade on the back end of their house. Would recommend! Not - it's not private. People are walking by and the feeding of the herd is at 7am and 7 pm. They are happy for you to join in!
