Purchased in 1989, this small piece of heaven was developed by Peter & Suelaine Poot into a home for their family and beginning in 2004, a welcoming alpaca farm. The bush area has been used for camping by many local and visiting scouting groups over the years. In 2021, we joined Hip Camp and now allow others to enjoy the beauty, peace, and challenges of camping in our bush. The alpacas are a peaceful herd to watch as they graze their way through the day. Crias (baby alpacas), love to pronk and play in the pastures near their mothers. During May you may observe us shearing the alpacas. June is the birthing and breeding month. They birth quickly, so watch carefully. Tours of the farm with explanations of the fibre harvest process and opportunites to walk the alpacas are available to be booked through our website.

Site 1 The Bush

Great experience

Suelaine and Peter were very kind hosts and we had a great scouting connection. Being that it’s November, we could see stars right through the trees. Nice camp ground set up and the fire wood was nice and dry. It was a short walk between the camp site and where we parked the car but grateful that we had our wagon (as we were doing “car camping”). The chance to meet the Alpaca and ask questions was definitely an added bonus and look forward to trying the socks I bought from them :). The neighbor did do some logging close to the site that you can see but that s the only negative thing I have to mention.

Thanksgiving with the Alpacas

Great place to learn about Alpacas. Host was very welcoming and involved us in daily chores if we wanted. Wood for purchase was generous and dry! Store available with Alpaca products. We had a great family Thanksgiving on the property. We will likely camp here again.

Site 2 The Lane

Great place for small or large groups. My family has previously stayed at provincial parks for Thanksgiving but decided to change it up this year. We had the whole place to ourselves, and the Alpacas of course. The hosts were very friendly and always helpful. Would recommend to anyone looking for a more private family camping experience rather than an overcrowded park..

Site 1 The Bush

Amazing Experience

Our camping trip at Site 1 The Bush was nothing short of fantastic. The host was truly the best part of the experience—welcoming, friendly, and always ready to help. They made sure we had everything we needed and added a personal touch that made our stay unforgettable. Another highlight was their dog, BP, who was an absolute joy to have around. BP’s playful nature brought smiles to everyone in our group. We all left feeling completely relaxed and rejuvenated. The peaceful surroundings and excellent company made this camping trip one of the best we’ve had. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable camping experience!

Site 2 The Lane

Not very private but great for kids

The kids absolutely loved the experience with the Alpaca. Suelaine was very knowledgable and great with the kids. She even gave them the opportunity to walk the baby alpacas in the morning. The reson for my mixed feelings is that we were under the impression that we would have more privacy, but we were pretty much in the owner's backyard. Overall, it was great for the kids but I feel as though the pictures made it seem like we would have a lot more privacy. The hosts were great and responded very quickly when we needed their help. Just keep in minde that you are very close to the host's house.
