Very Private Riverside, Ontario

Every day through the lockdowns of Covid, I walked my beautiful country trails and wished I could share with every parent keeping young children on a balcony in an apartment. My heart is that families could experience nature and freedom and make memories here. I am a dog-trainer, so the most civilization you will hear is me and the puppies walking the trail.

Pitch your tent beside a river with the woods at your back!

We are committed to a private yet supported, roughing-it outdoors camping opportunity. You will have 1 or 2 side-by-side campsites on a river in a forested area, surrounded by farmland. This private area will be for your group only.

Cook all your own food over a campfire, or order pizza delivered to the house and we can run it back with the four-wheeler. A pop-up screen and luggable loo bring you privacy for bathroom needs.

Wake to the gobble of wild turkeys and possibly the yipping of coon kits or wild coyotes. Bring your pet. You can drive your own 4x4 to the campsite, or hike the 1 km of moderate terrain while we run your supplies back with our four-wheeler and cart. Buy campfire bundles or chop your own from abundant amounts of deadfall in the woods.

During the day you can wade up the river or dangle a line or drop in a canoe (in early spring). Every week of the year, the river changes and offers its own experience, sometimes full and fast, and sometimes slow and meandering. We welcome you to harvest the woods for berries, build wigwams with downed wood, and wander the trails with your canine family member to enjoy off-leash roaming. Once you turn in for the night, you will sleep well in the quiet with darkness high-lighting the stars.

We are near Millbank with the famous Anna Mae's bakery, between Kitchener-Waterloo and Listowel. You will be immersed in nature but still have access to modern amenities in town!
