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.

A magical retreat

The most perfect peaceful place you can imagine. A field of green surrounded by trees, with nothing to hear but birdsong. Richard is the kindest host, full of information and stories and his sweet labs are delightful co-hosts.

Big Maple Glamping/Camping Site

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.
