It was 1984 when John found his ‘diamond in the rough’, 20 acres with an orchard on the outskirts of Brantford.
O.K., so the house was nothing to write home about but perfect for building a construction yard…no neighbors except for the family across the road that used their property to build log homes.
By 1987 the old house was gone, a new one was being built and a shop for working on heavy equipment had been located about 200 ft. from Dr. the back door.
It wasn’t until 1996 that things changed very much.
Yes, the property around the house had benefitted from a wide array of trees and shrubs that John saved from the construction/demolition jobs he had done and that still thrive today but no big projects (except for equipment purchases) were ongoing.
A chance meeting with the neighbor across the road one day resulted in the following dinner conversation, ‘How was your day’ I chirped. ‘Not bad, so-and-so didn’t come in; the truck broke down and I took it for repair; I bought the property across the road, and oh, yeah I’ll need a ride after dinner to pick up the truck’ was John’s casual reply. ‘What was that’? I pressed. ‘Yes, I need a ride after dinner to pick up the truck’ he repeated with a bit more volume. Of course like anyone, I had questions, ‘Do you want peas or corn with dinner’? ‘What time do you want to go to get the truck’?
‘The property across the road’, 10 acres, still has the 4 storey barn with its twin tiled silos which was built in 1914 and the big white house with wrap around porch that once was home to a Doctor and his family. Built so the Doctor could see his patients in the front with the family living in the back was very common in the day.
Things remained relatively peaceful until 2000 when after studying alpacas for more than 6 years I bought our first three.
Back in 2000 alpacas and llamas were not frequently seen on farms and because they could been seen from the road they received A LOT of attention.
People driving by would stop and ask about them, ask if they could take a picture or two and that was when I would hear over and over again ‘You have a beautiful place here, I wish I/we could stay’.
Well, if you want to visit and stay in the city it’s doable, we call it a hotel. But visiting a farm and staying well, that isn’t so easy.
Each year we would see more and more families coming to ‘The Farm’ as they would call it.
Some came to see the alpacas and horses, some came for a stroll and to check out the horse drawn milk and bread delivery wagons, some to have family birthday parties, others to have engagement/wedding/Christmas card pictures…and so many asked if there was any way they could spend a day or two.
In 2021 during a conversation with a friend I mentioned we were in the process of gutting the 1100 sq. ft. space downstairs and turning it into an Airbnb! Right away she said, ‘I don’t know why you don’t have a Hipcamp? You’ve got that great area by the new barn that Hipcampers would love’!
After a little investigation I found out what a Hipcamp was…and as they say, the rest is future.

Welcome to Birdwell Bluffs, a one-of-a-kind Foraging Farm on Lake Erie offering Costal Camping experiences for PRIVATE GETAWAYS (1 to 4 people in our charming Lakefront Cabin or LARGE GROUPS (of up to 30 people!) along one of Canada's most unique shorelines.
This place will be ALL YOURS! Completely SECLUDED, PRIVATE and GORGEOUS! No sharing with other campers or guests, we ONLY book to ONE Group at a time to ensure you have the BEST possible stay.
As stewards of one of Canada’s most vulnerable ecological corridors, our mission is to protect and celebrate the rare biodiversity of the Costal Carolinian forest while inviting others to experience land and water in harmony.
We practice light-touch agro-tourism, regenerative foraging, and place-based learning—offering immersive experiences that deepen our shared connection to nature.
Every trail we walk, every plant we nurture, every bird we protect—it all begins with ecological respect and the belief that conservation is a lived relationship.
The Land
Perched atop massive 80-foot clay cliffs overlooking the warm, shallow waters of Lake Erie, our Foraging Farm is home to some of the most pristine shoreline left in Southern Ontario.
From the sun-soaked sandy Private Beach below to the rare Carolinian forest above, Birdwell Bluffs is a sanctuary for humans and wildlife alike.
Our soil is rich in natural clay, believed for generations to offer skin-soothing and detoxifying benefits. In summer, the lake warms to a silky embrace, perfect for swimming, floating, or simply watching the eagles circle overhead.

Weekend Trip to Spring Arbour Magic Forest &Trails!
We came during the winter and stayed in the bunkie for the weekend, and it was so beautiful and the wood stove kept us warm all night! Getting there was very easy, they even made a track for us right to the bunkie since the snow had been bad the days prior. Felt very secluded and was a perfect weekend! Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Great little spot, small, cabin. Great for two people. There is a 2nd level Bunky but it might be a little tight to sleep in. Recommend for two people Max. Very rustic, yet well built cabin. Wood burning stove was easy to use. Note pit toilet ia open to elements. Quiet, location, sweet little forest. Lots of great birds to see including woodpeckers in the surrounding forest.

Second time at this adorable cabin. Very well stocked but also minimalistic. Great place to extend the camping season if you don't have a hot tent.

Spring Arbour bunkie was a magical experience for my husband and me. Although we were alone in the forest on our mid fall trip, we felt such a sense of peace cozied up in the glow of the wood stove. What a thrill to go up for a scenic ride in Erik’s ultra light two seater plane. We really lucked out finding this hipcamp. The instructions were excellent and the hosts very responsive.

2 nights at Spring Arbour Magic Forest &Trails!
Location and Accommodation: 4.5/5
The bunkie was great. Very cozy and comfortable. It was fantastic to have access both the forested area, and an open field for watching the sunset/sunrise or stars at night. Highly recommend this location in the fall when the leaves are changing. Close to Backus Woods, where I had a lovely hike as well.
Host Communication: 1/5
I was given too much information. Bombarded with four different text walls of instructions, rules etc. all saying almost the same thing but slightly differently (or contradicting one another sometimes).
The only personal communication (aside from several pre-written ones) I received from hosts was a message that said "Okay only if you need please ##########." This was in response to my request that we communicate by phone number once I leave my house since I do not have internet on my phone. Honestly, it made me feel like I was bothering them if I had questions while I was there - and I did end up having questions about how to safely operate the air intake on the woodstove but I just decided to keep it to myself.
Value: 3.5/5
This place was awesome, but a touch expensive. After paying an extra $22 for firewood (necessary - it was close to 0C at night) and cleaning fees (I did all the cleaning because I was told to leave it better than I found it. There are not even sheets to change) it was 270 for 2 nights. At that rate, I expect to at least be welcomed by the hosts.
Overall, would return (after trying other spots)

With kids
This was my second time at The Farm and this time I brought my kids, 3 and 6 years old. They loved it. Perfect weather to have a warm campfire and lots of space to run around and observe the farm equipment. They were so enamoured with the construction vehicles, the animals and of course Karen’s warm, funny and welcoming nature. She gave us a wonderful tour of the farm and the highlight was being able to feed the Alpacas. Karen thank you for your hospitality, the firewood, the coffee and hot chocolates! You’re truly a lovely soul. Looking forward to our next stay with you!

Overview
About
Port Burwell Provincial Park prides itself on being an exceptionally family-friendly destination. The park offers comfort stations and laundry facilities at all three campgrounds, a large sandy beach, a playground, an interpretive center, and a summertime children’s program. It’s also an excellent destination for nature lovers with activities like hiking, windsurfing on Lake Erie, and birding—Port Burwell is one of the best spots in the region for bird watching. Hawks, eagles, and vultures are spotted regularly, and the park’s bird checklist is at 232 species.
Notable campgrounds
- Best for beach bums: The Alzora Campground is closest to the beach and day park facilities.
- Best for families: The Leander Campground is closest to the playground and amphitheater.
- Best for rest and relaxation: The Iroquois Campground offers the largest sites and is farthest from the noise of the beach.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- Reservations are accepted up to five months before your arrival date. Book well in advance for weekend reservations during July and August, when the park is busiest.
- Reservations must be made in the name of the person who will pick up the camping permit at the front gate.
- Should you arrive late, your reservation is guaranteed until 8am on the day following your planned arrival. To try snagging a last-minute camping site, try calling just after 8am in case there were some no-show campers whose reservations just opened up.
When to go
Port Burwell Provincial Park is open from the second week of May until the second week in October. This region is noted for being exceptionally warm, so you can expect temperate conditions even in the shoulder season (but you should still research overnight temperatures to ensure you have the right supplies on hand). Like most provincial parks, Port Burwell is busiest during holidays and summer weekends. From the beginning of July to the first weekend in September, the park offers a Discovery Drop-in program for kids. While the park is gated in winter, visitors can drop in to hike, ski, and snowshoe.
Know before you go
- The Port Burwell beach is amazing! Campers enjoy 1.5 miles of sandy beach along the shores of Lake Erie.
- Pets are welcome—take advantage of both a dog beach and a pet exercise area.
- Port Burwell Provincial Park is part of a bird migration route and, as such, is hugely popular with birders in the fall months.
