A piece of heaven is what awaits you here. If you're looking for privacy your search is over. Imagine having your own island you reach by walking across the 15 metre covered bridge with a few areas to set up your tent(s) from where you'll fall asleep listening to the sound of the spring flowing into the pond, what bliss. The other site has a large rectangular pond of its own to ensure everyone has privacy. Your drinking water comes from Mother Nature, not a well, true spring water that's icy cold and so refreshing. he property is mostly 50 yr old pine trees with a couple walking trails throughout. There are two spring fed ponds which makes them revitalizing on a hot day when you go for a swim. We are located 10 minutes away from the town of Hanover and the Allan Park Conservation is right beside us and has numerous walking and off road bicycling trails. The Saugeen River is 5 minutes away which you can kayak or tube down, too much fun that is. Our property offers beautiful scenery, virtual privacy, you see glimpses of our home, peace and tranquility with the backdrop of Mother Nature to be heard, geese, wild turkeys, deer, lots of songbirds, coyotes and oh yes, our big friendly lovable mutt Walker and the two new dogs who ate getting loveable, Bella and Hunter. The sunsets can be spectacular and later the stars twinkle above and maybe you'll even see a satellite high above while you're stargazing. Each site has a table (you'll need to bring lawn chairs), firepit with a cooking grill, and a supply of wood you'll have to purchase from us upon arrival, as we are a forestry managed property. An outhouse is a pleasant walk within minutes of the site. Water for dishes and general washing can just be taken from the pond (DO NOT DRINK) Not that it would kill you, lol. Ray will keep you supplied with fresh spring water for drinking. Also, the covered bridge is there if, HEAVEN FORBID, it rains, where you can seek coverage and watch and listen to it fall. New to this site is a solar powered string of 300 lights, two single person floats, and a hammock for your added enjoyment. There are numerous things to do within a 15 minute drive. A couple dams, 2 conservation parks, drive-in theatre, casino, horse racing, small stock car racing track (great for young kids), two local breweries, a busy local butcher and the Saugeen River. With more destinations as you move outward. We promise you won't be disappointed and can't wait to share our piece of Heaven with you. TAKE NOTE You will be charged $500 per bag/item of refuse you leave behind. WE DO NOT HAVE GARBAGE PICKUP, besides which you are supposed to leave the site as you found it. CANCELATIONS: IF you cancel within two weeks of your arrival date, your money will NOT be refunded nor will you be able to change the date. We are sorry for this, but we only have a short season, and you'll be using up double the time you booked for. Terry and Ray P.S. Should you wish to come during off season please get in touch and if it's feasible we'll open up.

September Camping

We stayed the weekend at Terry & Ray's. Great place. Very peaceful. The dogs loved the pond. The hosts are lovely and brought the driest wood for our fires. It is a great location of you're meeting up as a group from different directions. We loved making a sign for the sign post. Would definitely recommend. Thanks for the good times.

Island Oasis

A Great Stay

We were a group of three families. We rented both sites, using the island for sleeping and the other site for recreation and dining. We got good exercise walking back and forth. We played in both ponds. The covered bridge was very handy when it rained one evening. The firewood was so good that the fires nearly lit themselves. No crowding, no noise. Our hosts were friendly and attentive. Good craft brewery in Neustadt. We will be back.

Camping at the dockside! 🏕️

This was our very first time doing actual camping and wow what an experience! Terry and Ray were our host and they were SO welcoming and so helpful when ever we needed anything, they’d be there asap. From helping us get daily fresh spring water (the spring water is so cold and clean, loved it) to firewood, even their company, they were so friendly and just pure fun!! The early mornings by the dock with a quiet scenic view to read was peaceful all the way to the cozy set up with the fireplace and some good music and food, we loved every inch of it. We were by the fire with music all the way till 4 in the morning hahah. We were lucky to be the only ones on the camp site so Terry and Ray mentioned to explore the island camp site and even stay as long as we wanted instead of checking out early! There’s even a near by town if you needed more ice or food, and omg we can’t forget to mention their two big beautiful dogs Walker and Hunter, so so so kind!!! The campgrounds was so clean, so safe, and the BEST part, barely any mosquitos surprisingly! Toronto has more mosquitoes which was so surprising but so lovely. We literally didn’t want to leave, to short of a trip. Also there is phone service if needed. We’re going to miss it and miss Terry and Ray and their fun. Everyone who comes here please don’t forget to review because it helps them out so much, they deserve every inch of it, their hard work to maintain everything is to be thankful for. Till next time!!!

Terry and Ray are probably best hosts you can ever meet. Exceptionally kind and very responsible people, they’ve always checked if we have everything we need on the site. The site itself very clean and looks just beautiful, different trees around in the forest, pound with fish, everything is so colourful and each meter gives different vibe. I’ve been there 2 times as of now, and both times are just 10/10. Strongly recommended!

Island Oasis

We loved the welcoming committee (hunter and walker)! The camp site was perfect for us even though it rained a bit, we still enjoyed the whole property and loved interacting with our hosts Terry and Ray, they would check in from time to time to make sure we were having a good time and to make sure we had enough water/wood. We can’t wait to go back next year and just might of found our new favourite spot ❤️

Had a great time camping on Terry and Rays land! Was very spacious and having a view over the pond was great. Hosts were amazing. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great getaway!
