This low budget camp is run poorly and is led by a couple of idiots, my experience working there…read morehas shown me just how terrible the camp really is. The place is filled with cockroaches and bedbugs and the food will get you sick. Raccoons are flooding the place and you will see them near the dining hall. The water they serve to the kids tastes like blood and its a terrible experience overall. The camp is full of trash and the cabins are full of dirt and dust. The counselors have a bad attitude and have no idea what they are doing. The Counselors are under the influence when the kids are on camp and are smoking and drinking on days with kids in their supervision. there is a weed pen in the room next to the reptiles. This place needs to be studied, there are bottles of alcohol and vapes in counselors belongings and in their cars. Kids have found weed pens on there walks around camp and the counselors decide not to report it. Don't consider sending your kids here if you want them to have a good camp experience. You will waste your money sending them to this low budget camp. This place needs to be studied.

Not coming from a 'camping family ', this is one of the greatest times in school! They took us for a midnight walk on the lake as it was winter to spot owls! It was fantastic!

What a great find…read more Texas Longhorn Ranch is just a few hours outside of Toronto and well worth the visit - whether you're looking for just a night away with someone, or looking for a larger group activity. The TLR used to be a summer camp and has been converted into a very unique Bed and Breakfast. You're greeted by the family that owns the place and their farmhands (everyone was so nice) and shown the grounds. Unlike most B&Bs, you actually have your own cabin (which is a converted covered wagon). Maybe not the best for noise cancellation, but luckily there's no one around for miles. The room was neat, modern, and comfortable. A heater is provided incase it gets cool at night, and if you're lucky enough to get some night time drizzle, you'll fall asleep to the sound of dancing raindrops above you. There is a fire pit with each wagon (which they start for you, city slicker), and each morning you wake to find a fresh pot of coffee outside ready to go. There's also a large field (wouldn't want to mow it) for playing catch or whatever it is people do in large fields. They have quite a nice size pool and lounge chairs which during those hot Ontario summers will come in handy. The meals that were provided were awesome; great value and delicious. Totally homestyle. We had roast beef, fresh and local vegetables, strawberry shortcake, grilled potatoes, salad (it was enough for 6 people...there were 2 of us). It was so good (and $30 per person was the best deal i've seen for a meal of this quality/quantity). The horseback riding was what initially drew me here - and as a novice was happy to find that although am I a not horse-whisperer, the very capable hands of our trail-leader basically was. We had a about a 2 hour enjoyable ride through the woods, visited some neighbouring horses (which started galloping over to meet us....amazing), saw lots of deer, and enjoyed nature. The next morning it was time to leave and I remembered I didn't have that much gas (it's sort of the middle of no-where and probably 20 minutes to the closes gaz bar)...the Texas Longhorn Ranch came out and gave me a good 10L for free. Because they're that nice. I can't wait to go back. Best B&B/ local vacation I've had....and it won't break the bank. 5 out of 5 neighs. NEIGHNEIGHNEIGHNEIGHNEIGH!
