Pet Friendly Here!!! Both camps have COVERED shelters and covered gathering space for tents, chairs, relaxing. Camp dry, and out of the dirt/grass and in comfort, COVERED for all weather conditions, to make your trip enjoyable. Castle Rock Farm was established as a homestead 1893, absolutely stunning property setting and sits at the base of Castle Rock. Extremely private and exclusive. King Castle trail is 2 minutes away. Big mountain biking/cycling/hiking/rafting/paddle boarding area. Blue Pool world renowned site is 15 minute away. Many Hot Springs, trails, waterfalls, sights and lakes nearby. Way to much to list. Quite, peaceful, private, not on the highway. Stay on grassy pasture nestled in-between the edge of old growth forest under a magnificent big Maple Tree, nearby a small babbling brook passes by accompanied by the chorus of songbirds. You might catch a glimpse of the Great Gray owls. A birder's paradise, over 150 nesting boxes on the property. During your stay enjoy the wind whispering through the trees, birds singing, owls hooting and abundant wildlife. There are Great Gray owls, Pileated woodpeckers, and many various bird species and wildlife that pass by. You will not be camping or glamping next to someone's house in their yard, gravel parking lot, by a busy road, a pile of gravel or wood chips mislead by false pictures. Shelter at Castle Rock farm is extremely private, inclusive, perfect for relaxing and to decompress. A short stroll away you can feed the native wild cutthroat trout in the fish pond. On the way feel free to sample some of the wild native strawberries growing in the natural pasture. There are two extremely friendly yellow labs on the property, one very old, one young, they do go on walks with me past the Big Maple site on the trail in the morning and the evening. King Castle Trailhead is 4 minutes down the road from entrance to Shelter at Castle Rock. Upon request , Big Maple site can accommodate extra tents, group site, from 0 to 20 tents, for special events, birding groups, weddings, biking groups, runners, ect. Also we have contacts from other lodging facilities in the area that provide rafting trips, bike and mountain bike shuttles, bike rentals, hiking shuttles to pick you up and return. Castle Rock Farm was established as a homestead 1893, and sits at the base of Castle Rock. For the last 37 years it has been maintained as private wildlife and birding preserve. The original fruit orchards are over a 125 years old. No herbicides or pesticides of any kind are used. Only private led tours by birding experts and wildlife viewing has been allowed. Castle Rock farm is known throughout the Mckenzie community as the one of the most spectacular one of a kind properties in Mckenzie Bridge. All wood used in construction and furniture was milled at Castle Rock Farm with a vintage Heritage Cut pattern circle sawmill from sustainably sourced fire killed trees and windblown downed trees. All campfire wood is sustainably sourced also. Site was built by our family of Journeymen Craftsmen that build Custom Homes in the area, so everything is professionally built with attention to detail, not a DIY campsite. Camping/glamping site is outfitted with a large 10' by 14' heavy deluxe canvas tent, upgraded with extra windows, sewn in heavy vinyl floor, No-See-Um netting, on a wood platform. Tent area is covered so foul weather will not spoil your camping adventure. Custom built with our Heritage cut lumber , one large Porta Potty with premium biodegradable tank treatment. Included with Big Maple site is. Unlimited firewood usage ( per added firewood ) on EXTRAS BUTTON $15.00 per day, kindling, fire starters, 1 large fire pit, 5 quality camping chairs, 2 camping swinging chairs, 8 solar flicker lanterns, solar string lights, 2 led solar lanterns, large handmade hammock , 3 camping hammocks, handmade wood furniture, table. Campfires are allowed until regulations forbid campfires of fire danger, you can bring your own propane fire pit when fire season is in affect and no campfires are allowed. Inside the tent, 2 large washable Tumble rugs, 2 large oversized cots, 3 handmade night stands. Led rechargeable lantern. Portable battery bank to charge electronic devices You will have to bring your own bedding and camp mattress. Outdoor covered cooking station, includes 2 stoves, misc supplies, water jugs with electric faucet, cooking butane canisters (1) per stove per day, if more are used, click the EXTRA BUTTON to purchase, butcher block cutting table, 2 dry sinks, dish rack, 1 percolator coffee pots, 3 large citronella candles, small trash bags, trash cans, dog waste bags, dog waste bin. I probably missed something, but that about sums it up.

This is the best HipCamp we have ever stayed at! The host thought of all the little details with the kitchen, patio, hammocks, & more. We can’t wait to come back next summer!

Great glamping option kids
First time using HipCamp but definitely not our first time camping. Reserved this spot to try out camping with a 6 month old and 3.5 year old. It was great! All the amenities made it so comfortable and easy to get set up with two kids. We appreciated all the stuff that was set up, especially the battery powered water faucet, super clean portapotty, and huge tent with two cots and lots of lanterns. It’s obvious the owner has thought of all the things that campers use to made it a comfortable visit. We loved using the fire pit at night and walking around the property to explore with our dog. This place set the bar high for our first hipcamp experience.

We had a great stay on Richard's property. The directions were clear & he was easy to reach. Richard greeted us upon arrival & made us feel at home. The campsite had a large platform for setting up our tent, there was a very nice picnic table, benches, firepit & solar lights as well. It was very peaceful & comfortable.

Best Hipcamp Ever!
This was without a doubt, hands down, the BEST hipcamp my friends and I could’ve hoped for. From the pictures I assumed it was going to be beautiful but the up keep of the site itself put the pictures to shame. It was clean, exactly what was advertised and more. Immediately upon arriving we were welcomed by our new best friends, Annabelle and Daisy the two yellow labs who are as sweet as could be that Richard owns. Richard was welcoming, personable, kind, and hilarious. There were 3 extra hammocks that were so nice to relax in while the sun set over the trees. The tent itself was huge with two cots, carpets, a mini vacuum, and two shelves. Right by the campsite is a little creek that was fun to follow and lightly wade in. The outhouse was extremely clean and a good distance from camp. Annabelle stayed with my friends and I for awhile and kept an eye on the forest as any good guard dog would do. We will 100% be coming back!
