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. The 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.

Island Oasis

Serene Nights in Labrador Paradise

This property was absolutely gorgeous and the hosts were incredibly kind. The island is so beautiful and quiet and the set up is perfect for camping. The island has everything you need and all you could want with a hammock, table, fire pit, fairy lights and floats and a canoe, board games, and fishing equipment. The pond water was nice even in awful weather. We didn’t see the sun once, but it couldn’t have mattered less, we still had such an enjoyable time and Terry made sure to offer us extra tarps to stay dry and warm in our tent. When the rain really came down, we hung out in the adorable and impressive covered bridge that leads you to the island. My dog swam and ran the entire time and had the best two nights of his life. The walk from parking to the site and the site to the outhouse was nothing and was barely different than a drive up spot. Both campsites were gorgeous and we would’ve been more than happy at either!

The Camp Sight experience exceeded my expectations! Our first impression of the place was its tranquility. There was nothing better than a relaxing getaway at the campground with its clean facilities and well-marked sites. The owners, Terry and Ray, were incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable. Camp Sight is truly a slice of paradise for nature lovers.

Loved the tent camping here, such a beautiful property and the view was amazing, even the drive in was great too. Terry and Ray are fantastic hosts even gave us a walk around their property to see everything. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves camping.

Island Oasis

Such a great spot and welcoming hosts. We were met with a lot of rain, but were able to find flat high ground for our tent and lots of spots for tarps and rain cover + Terry and Ray have a fire cover so we could keep the fire going regardless of the weather. Looking forward to a dryer visit to this wonderful place in the future

Beautiful spot with so many thoughtful touches and treats care of Terry and Ray. Their hospitality is really what stands out :) The spring fed ponds were clear and beautiful - lovely for swimming and floating the day away on one of their many fun water toys. The island feels magical, especially entering through the covered bridge! Enjoyed stargazing, their comfy hammocks, forest walks, all of the amazing birdsong, and amazing value for the heaps of good wood they provide. We really enjoyed our two night stay and will definitely be coming back next summer with some friends 💕 Thank you Terry and Ray! You treated us so well!
