Camping
Pootcorners offers a welcoming, family-friendly camping experience with the added charm of an alpaca farm. Our campsite is noted for its cleanliness, privacy, and the unique opportunity to interact with alpacas
Camping at Pootcorners
Purchased in 1989, this small piece of heaven was developed by Peter & Suelaine Poot into a home for their family and beginning in 2003, a welcoming alpaca farm.
The bush area has been used for camping by many local and visiting scouting groups over the years.
Tours of the farm with explanations of the fibre harvest process and opportunities to walk the alpacas are also available.
Recycling bins are available but please take non-recyclable garbage with you when you leave.
