This beautiful spot was re-forested with pine a number of years ago, and was sectioned off from the surrounding farmland, which is now maintained by the mennonite community. It is 8 1/2 acres of wetland and forest, with a mown perimeter, and cool places to tuck into the forest for the night. The current owner was a special educator, and now is slowly turning the land into her homestead. There is a beautiful, spa quality outdoor shower next to a tidy and 'fancier than most' outhouse, a strawberry patch as well as wild alpine strawberries all over the property, a big dog and a small indoor cat keep her company. Here is what the land offers: -Bunkie in the Forest: A sweet 8x8 ft. space -Strawberry Fields bunkie: an 10x12 space with a loft with a queen memory foam mattress and a main floor with a full futon and a small table -Campsites: Meadow, Forest and River spots. Close to each other, but you'd never know it! All three are chill and serene places. The property backs onto a ten-foot swimming hole in an otherwise shallow part of the Saugeen River. -RV Spot: With electric hook up ideal for RVs 30 feet and under So much to see and do in the area!

Pine the Sky bunkie in the forest!

Winter wonderland

We had a blast on our first winter glamping experience! Our 5 year old son and senior dog had a blast too! Our little bunkie was perfect and cozy warm even in the winter wonderland we had. We were greeted by "the hostess with the mostest" Joan and her bubbly friendly dog Onyx. Joan has an amazing property with a couple different sites. Our site was close enough to our car and the "throne", yet far enough for privacy. We enjoyed exploring through her property and looking forward to camping by the river in the summer! See you soon Joan!

Dog friendly cabin and property

Beautiful property. Joan is very nice, makes a delicious cake ! The cabin is perfect for 1 or 2 plus dogs. Ideal location, very private and quiet.

Strawberry Fields Bunkie

We loved our New Years stay at Jarvis lovey bunkie. Despite the rainy weather Joan made the cabin very comfortable and warm for our stay. We can’t wait to come back later in the year. Lots of hikes around, the property or a short drive away. Kim’s Place is a great local cafe around 10 mins away! Thank you, Joan for hosting us!

Strawberry Fields Bunkie

This is the second time we’ve stayed on Joan’s land and it truly is gorgeous! The pine forest is stunning, especially in the winter. The new cabin has such a great set up with much more living space (the pull out couch is a really great addition with lots of clever storage!) and a really cozy but spacious sleeping loft area. It was a good distance into the forest (so felt nice and private) without being hard to access. We didn’t get the chance to use the new outdoor shower as we were visiting in the winter but I took a little look around and it looks fabulous! Joan is always a truly delightful host! We had a bit of a technical issue one night and she was so kind and helpful about the situation! We would be delighted to return again and highly, highly recommend anyone to come and stay too!

Winter Cabin

Joan was a wonderful host! Very welcoming and provided lots of guidance and check ins throughout our stay! The cabin was lovely and very relaxing! We would suggest checking with Joan specifically about the amenities for the winter months as they were different than advertised when we booked with the colder weather.

Strawberry Fields Bunkie

A perfect Fall getaway 🍁

Joan is an exceptional host, and a gracious woman with a big heart ❤️ She and her dog Onyx made us (and our 2 dogs) feel at home for our 2 week stay in the Strawberry Fields Bunkie. It was a perfect peaceful spot on her beautiful land with access to the Saugeen River. Joan made us feel like family and was always helpful when we needed anything. Our Hipcamp experience here was a great fall getaway with lots of hiking and nature trails nearby. A five start experience for sure ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We loved staying at Pine the Sky and will definitely be back. We had beautiful views of the night sky and even saw some shooting stars. Joan gave us plenty of recommendations for hikes and farm stores to check out in the area which were all amazing. As there are only a few sites and they're very well spread out, we didn't hear anyone else our whole stay, it felt like a total oasis.

Joan was very kind and her dog, Onyx, is the best. Her property is beautiful and peaceful. Just what we needed! The outdoor shower is very nice, too. My friend, my dog and I had a great time. Would definitely go again!

Amazing views!

My partner and I spent the weekend at Pine in the Sky and it was an absolute joy. Our host Joan is a rockstar. We arrived a little later than expected and Joan had our site set up with kindling and firewood. We also brought our dog Charlie who had a blast playing with her doggo. He was part of the family for the weekend. We camped in our tent but will certainly be back with the kids to spend a night in one of her adorable bunkies. Thank you for a mini getaway we won’t forget anytime soon Joan! Just a beautiful property.

Pine the Sky bunkie in the forest!

Highly recommended!

Joan was an excellent host, very attentive to your needs. The loft bunkie was spacious and private. Beautiful area by the river to sit, swim, kayak and play games. There is abundance of walking trails within half hour 45 min drive. We definitely recommend this especially of you love nature. We will go back as there was so much to do around the area.

Pine the Sky Campsites

We will be coming back.

Three sites we seen were: by the water, pretty big more popular area few campers coming close to your site to go in the swimming hole. The forest, site is perfect for 2 or 3 people in 1 tent. You are in a small wooded area with a slight hill, pine trees around you make the spot smell amazing. Third and final where we were was like a meadow. Flat and soft grass with tress and brush around you with nothing over head gives you a perfect sight for the night sky and big bon fires. Host was super amazing and her dog was the icing on the cake for this place. Swimming hole is small and perfect for families, the canoe and kayak provided hours of fun. A public outhouse was always clean The outdoor hot shower was perfect when done swimming. Looking forward to come up during cooler weather and getting one of the cabins.

Pine the Sky bunkie in the forest!

The outdoor shower is glorious. Having power and wifi made our rainy night stay very comfortable. Host was amazing very kind and there is a very cute dog. 8 acres of land to explore and a great creek for swimming or paddling. Sheets were very fragranced and mattress was not very supportive. Main house can be seen from the cabin. Not very private but very cozy. Spacious outdoor dining set up.

Comfortable and wild! Fun for dogs!

This was so easy to get to but felt so private once arrived. The property has great walking paths, a beautiful river and a couple options of accommodations from bunkies to tent areas. My dog was free to roam around and played well with the hosts dog, Onyx! What a cutie!

Great spot

We stayed in an adorable bunkie with our own fire pit! There were tables and chairs which made things very convenient. Plus the outdoor shower was a total perk! We really enjoyed using the kayaks on a stunning river nearby! Highly recommend visiting Hoggs Falls where you can swim under a waterfall! Also the local bakeries in Flesherton and Markdale are fab!

Camping at the River site

Camping at Pine the Sky was even better than my fiancé and I could have imagined. The land was beautiful, quiet & serene. Joan was absolutely wonderful & had the warmest energy. Her dog Onyx was an absolute 10/10 good boy and reminded us of our own good boy back at home. We were placed on the River site, it was the furthest campsite and was so private and beyond stunning. Not only is there the beautiful sunny riverfront but there is also a wonderful shaded pine area that's perfect to keep your coolers and tent cool even on a hot day. To make things even better there is an awesome outhouse & a gorgeous outdoor shower. If you weren't sure about booking here, this is your sign to do so! We look forward to our next visit and will be coming back for years to come!

Pine the Sky Camping

What a neat little place this is. Each site is tucked away from each-other, the property is gorgeous and the owner is very nice and friendly. We stayed on the river site, it was fantastic, the star gazing by the river was amazing, hope you get clear nights. Would definitely recommend for couples or families that want a semi secluded feel away from those busy provincial parks. Easy to find and very easy on the wallet. You’ll be left smiling by this places charm and if not that, her goofy dog Onix will do it.

Strawberry Fields Bunkie

Family getaway

My husband and I were up hiking at Hogg's Falls with our one year old toddler and dog and stayed the night at Joan's bunkie as it as only 15 minutes away. Joan was very warm and welcoming, and went above and beyond in her service to make sure we were comfortable! Check in process went smoothly, and Joan was very quick to respond via the app. Super friendly, and we even got to have her dog play with ours! Our site had a personal firepit with chairs, and the bunkie had a table with chairs, futon on the main level and a mattress on the upper loft. The futon opens up into a bed, and still left enough room for a pack and play. Outhouse and shower were within walking distance on the property. Thanks a bunch for being a great host!!

Checked in on us and we thoroughly enjoyed her conversations - and onyx is the cutest guy you will ever see! Will definitely be back to stay in her new bunkie!

Great weekend away with the family. We had the river site and it was beautiful! Sunsets were amazing and the stars were incredible. We really enjoyed canoeing down the river with the kids! It was a big bonus having the kayaks & canoes available :) I Would definitely recommend this camp site!
