North country trail, riverside camp

We had a great time at this spot. Our campsite had a lovely view of the river. It was close to town where we walked to each day. Matthew was responsive and helpful.

Pretty farm camping

This was a pretty and relaxing place to spend a night. Our site overlooked the river and was at the back of Matthew’s field. There is a little trail down to the river if you want to sit down there or swim. There was also a big raft with an anchor available. Overall, the area was quiet, but you could hear the generators of a nearby factory running during the night. You could also hear the farm animals, but we really enjoyed that. This was a nice place to do a one-night camp trip with our newborn: accessible, pretty, not too rural. There weren’t any signs marking the sites, but the paths to them were well-mowed.

We wnjoyed our tent stay

We had a great stay for one night of tent camping at this site. Matthew mowed a trail through his property, so it was easy to follow to guide us back to the areas open for us to set up our tents right near the Grand River. Added bonus were the cute sheep and donkey grazing in the field near by. We felt sheltered and safe here. We were able to walk the half mile into town to eat dinner and breakfast. We would recommend this site for tent camping to anyone that needs a safe place to camp for a night or two. There is no running water or toilet. But you could filter water out of the Grand River or walk into town and buy some at the gas station. Mild traffic noise from near by road was the only con, and it was not bad at all. Ear plugs would work well for light sleepers.

The campsite was beautiful and well maintained. The campsite was on a hobby farm, and it was very cute to hear sheep and other animals during our stay. Very friendly host! Would 100% recommend. We had a lovely stay!

Lovely property with lots of animals and good places to pitch a tent. The dogs will probably greet you on a rival and they are very friendly. Only concerns would be humidity and bugs in the late summer, I imagine this would be an issue in most places. I foolishly stayed very close to the river and had to spend a few hours letting my gear dry out in the sun. Being close to the river means you also don’t have to climb out of the valley if you’re on a bike so it was an even trade for me. Luckily, Keizers is within a short walk of the site and was a perfect place to fuel up and plan my day. Matthew was very friendly and hospitable, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
