Private Outdoor Camping With Horses
We had an incredible experience camping on Drew's land. It was a hit with our friends and us. The kids especially enjoyed feeding the horses and ponies. We also got to enjoy fresh eggs. The landscape was beautiful, and Drew is an outstanding host who ensured we had everything we needed. We highly recommend this place and would love to return!

Made me feel at peace, beautiful scenery and fresh air. Talk to the animals by day and sit by a fire at night, with beautiful sunsets. Drew is an awesome host, introduces you to the horses and other farm animals. If you like to hike, many trails minutes away. This was our second year staying there, we will definitely be going back soon!!

Private Outdoor Camping With Horses
Fabulous hosts Drew & Bev welcomed us with open arms and were very attentive. Take in a tour of the farm to meet the horses, ponies and their miniature donkey named Grace. Enjoy the vast open spaces, the crackle of a roaring fire while taking in the quiet beauty of the starlit sky complete with the howl of coyotes in the distance. We enjoyed farm fresh eggs and feeding the animals. A curated experience complete with Edison lights weaving a warm glow amongst the towering pines. Loved the rustic meditation teepee and meticulously maintained grounds! A true sense of pride and care invested in this farm. I highly recommend an escape to this beautiful property to relax, unwind and allow yourself to let go. A short distance away from the Elora Cataract Trailway you can hike or bike to the Forks of the Credit to take in a waterfall or head West to explore Erin. Whether it be sunrise by the barn or watching the sunset across the rolling hills this spot is a rare gem all within an hour of Toronto! Can’t wait for our next visit! Don’t forget to check out Higher Ground Cafe in Belfountain for fresh pastries and coffee too!

Private Outdoor Camping With Horses
We just got our rv and this was only the second place we went but I think we are totally spoiled! We travel a ton in Canada and abroad and Drew’s farm and hospitality are unbeatable. Everything about our stay was perfect from the land to the location to Drew and his family. Not to mention the animals! Our 2 year old and 4 year old had the best time ever getting to feed and take care of the animals everyday. I couldn’t recommend this stay more!

It was a wonderful experience to camp at Drew's Farm for 2 nights. One group per stay, it's quite and priviliage to occupy the whole farm. Feeding the animals is the fun part in the morning. My kids can name each of the animals. Drew is very friendly.
There is water, electricity, and a camping toilet.

What a lovely spot to stay and relax. Everything you need and more.
Drew and Bev are fantastic host. Always there to help us if we needed anything.
Drew even text us during our stay to ask if everything is going ok. How lovely is that.
The animals on the farm are amazing! all so friendly too. Drew might even tell you the bunk beds story.
Lovely sunset. Go and enjoy the space and scenery you will love it.
Thank you Drew and Bev🙂🇬🇧

What a peaceful place so close to home. Drew is super friendly and so kind to take the time to show my kids around and take them to do the chores. This is our second trip and once again we have made such great memories. Also, there were a litter of puppies! So who doesn’t love puppy cuddles?

Best hipcamp everrrrr!
We brought our three year old out to Drew's property for a night and it did not disappoint. From the incredible animals to the cozy firepit to the sweetest hosts - 10/10, absolutely recommend!
Definitely check out Goodlot Brewery just down the road for great beer, live music and overall awesome vibes. Breakfast at High Ground Cafe, 3 min from the property is a must, and so convenient after a night of camping.

This place was amazing! The setting on a beautiful farm was idyllic, a little slice of paradise. The farm animals were awesome, and we got lucky enough to meet all the puppies! It was a great and peaceful escape, and the host Drew and Bev are the nicest, most welcoming hosts you could ask for. Can't recommend it enough!

We loved camping out on Drew's land during the Canada Day long weekend! The location is beautiful and very easy to get to. The sunsets were spectacular! Drew was a great host and fun to talk to! Our daughter especially enjoyed grooming the horses and being in puppy cuddle puddles! We highly recommend visiting!

Energizing and Inspiring.

Private Outdoor Camping With Horses
The property is beautiful. Drew has opened up and shared this piece of heaven, which was inspiring and rejuvenating for the whole family.
Drew has taken great care to make the campsite feel special. The property is super tidy and the campsite is located in an easily accessible area but still private, complete with horseshoe pit and fire pit. At night, the area is light by beautiful lights hung in the trees.
Our kids particularly loved hanging out with the horses, donkey and chickens.
Drew found the perfect balance between being welcoming and hospitable and respecting our privacy.
Drew was very accommodating. If there were any needs, he was ready at a moment’s notice.
Thank you, Drew, for taking the time to give us such a great weekend. We hope to see you again soon.

Best stop on our Canadian adventure

This will be the single best stop on your holiday period.
The scenery is spectacular. The pitch up site was fantastic (accommodated our massive rv) and the hospitality from Drew is second to non.
He gets the balance of friendly and giving you time to enjoy your surroundings just right.
This site is actually under priced for what it is and I am just thankful that we had the opportunity to spend such a wonderful few days at Drew's 'Ranch'.
If your thinking of staying here...just book the damn thing already!

We enjoyed a delightful mother/daughters weekend on Drew's property. The views are stunning - we were there as the Fall leaves were in full colour. The animals on the farm are friendly and entertaining. Our cafe breakfasts were delicious. And Drew is a 5 star host! We would go back in a heartbeat.

Camping with Kids - Truly Wonderfu
Tent · With kids ·
CAMP IN THE HAYLOFT OF A BARN
We were looking for a way to introduce our toddler and infant to camping in a relatively easy way. What we got at Drew’s was so much more.
The barn is beautiful, the property and views are stunning, the animals were friendly and obviously very well cared for. But most of all, Drew went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of. He even helped watch our 2.5 year old while we packed up and made sure she had one last opportunity to see the chickens!
Our experience was truly magical. We will be back!

Beautiful place to spend a night or 2. The farm is beautiful and Drew was a great host. I got a tour of the farm as soon as arrived and got to spend tons of time with all the horses. Drew offered several suggestions for things to do in the area and made sure I had everything I needed to make my stay more enjoyable. The barn is a great option to have. There’s plenty of room inside for games or just chilling and taking in the views. The washroom is clean and nicely located in the barn. There is a trail which runs around the property for a short walk or walk to the falls and jump on several trails from the forks of the credit park. Lots to explore in the area and very easy setup for my trailer.

We loved camping in Drew’s barn. It was an amazing experience. Meeting all the animals and watching the sunset on his beautiful property. Not having to go outside to use the washroom was such a great bonus!
There was plenty to do. We hiked the cataract trail for a few hours and took our kayaks out. We chose fairy lake in prospect park but there are a few conservative areas around too. What a great location. Everything we needed was close by. Drew was such a welcoming host. Gave us a tour and a answered all our questions. Let us interact with the animals. He was full of great stories.
We tried their cafe and were not disappointed! Best tarts hands down. The raspberry coconut is a must try!!
We had a fire both nights. (One match we swear Drew). Even played a few rounds of ping pong.
We highly recommend Drew’s barn for your next unique experience! Thanks Drew for being the best host! Hope to see you again soon.
Did I mention the tarts??

CAMP IN THE HAYLOFT OF A BARN
The Cafe Barn was such an amazing experience for me and my teenagers! It was the perfect way to unplug with amazing views, friendly animals, and gracious hosts! I highly recommend booking if you want ultimate relaxation with stunning views of rolling hills while you watch the sunset from the barn.
We stayed in a tent in the barn that is beautifully lit at night and it was so pretty to wake up to the morning sun seeping through. We also visited the Cafe for brunch and ice cream - great food/coffee and friendly service. We ventured out to the nearby Elora Cataract and Bruce Trail in the afternoon and then Drew built a wonderful fire for us to enjoy under a sky full of stars.
Communication with Drew was spectacular and appreciated right from the very start. He easily answered all of our questions and was very accommodating to our requests to help with anything farm chore related :). Even the teenagers were smiling!! We would happily return to hang out with Monster, Viola, Sugar, Kiwi, and Grace - such a beautiful experience.
Thank you Drew and Bev!!

Drew is the best host ever!! The property is absolutely stunning. The barn is spacious, sheltered and stocked with lightening, games and an outlet!! The indoor outhouse was the best bathroom experience I’ve had camping, no complaints. Drew gave us a tour of the farm and let us meet all the animals who were such a delight. We got the full experience and got a taste of what it’s like to care for their beautiful animals. The cafe was so cute and a great end to our trip. Drew also built the best fire I’ve ever seen, lasted the entire night! We can’t wait to book again and reunite with Grace and the rest of the family.

We stayed one night in the barn and could not have been happier. Drew was an incredibly personable host and we enjoyed his farm tour, guidance in feeding the animals and hearing about his interesting life. The barn was such a fun and tranquil place to stay and offered everything we needed (including a full moon that we watched rise over a perfect bonfire). We would recommend a stay here to anyone. It was awesome!

My wife and I loved our weekend at this unique stay. Drew was so friendly and hospitable. Getting close to all the different animals on the farm was such a nice change for us coming from the city. There's a lot to do in the property, and unlimited views to enjoy. We will definitely be back!

What a beautiful place to take in the fresh air and gorgeous views. My husband and I immediately felt relaxed once we set foot on the property. Drew and Bev are super sweet! Our girls loved hanging out with Drew and all the animals, and so did I 😁. We also enjoyed a lovely breakfast at the cafe. We highly recommend this place!
Thanks so much Drew and Bev, can’t wait to visit again!

10 out of 10! My husband, 3 year old daughter, and my husband had an amazing time! The scenery is gorgeous and the farm experience was authentic. My daughter fed chickens, met beautiful horses, ponies, and donkeys! We roasted marshmallows over a camp fire that Drew helpfully set up for us. Drew is amazingly welcoming and kind with interesting stories. He was really nice to our daughter who cried when she said bye to him! We had zero complaints.

We arrived at Drew and Bev’s after a long dusty bike packing ride through hills and brush, scraping briars and biting flies, sun and clouds and sweet smell of milkweed. Past tired and three steps into stupid, we found our solace here, an open quiet space, a barn that doubles as a cathedral, gentle critters, soft bouncy floppy puppies and humans that make you believe again. Thank you Drew. You brought out the best in us.
