Who knew you could be in such a serene space so close to home. The Owl’s nest is perfectly secluded with a view of the pond. Private fire pit, personal BBQ, dock and amazing view of the stars! Beds were comfortable, chairs were comfy, lots of games and the atmosphere tranquil. They even left a personal touch to celebrate our anniversary. Thank you so much for sharing this space with us! The animal rescue tour was just the cherry on top, knowing our sty didn’t just benefit us but animals in need as well. We will be back to try a Bell tent next time!

My husband and I stayed two nights in the Fox Den and it was amazing! The villa was very clean and stocked with supplies for us. Bed was really comfortable. There's lots of space to lounge and hang out in in the common area. The pond is beautiful, and the creeks and trails are really lovely. Really great place to unplug - built a bonfire and looked at stars at night. And the tour of the wildlife sanctuary was really interesting

We stayed at the Crows nest Geodome for our Grandsons 10th birthday. We were greeted by Genevieve who loaded up her Kubota and took us to our campsite! The campsite was super clean as well as the Geodome. It included many games, for indoors if it should rain, and many for outdoors. ALL bedding is included, pillows, lots of pillows, sheets and comforter if it is a cool night. A HUGE carafe of mint water and super comfy queen beds. The washroom is conveniently located between the fire pit, BBQ, and the actual Geodome. It is a serene paradise, the sounds of nature, some frogs serenading, a lovely backing creek that you can hear, the breeze and birds in the trees. You have a beautiful pond with a dock to sit on in the chairs provided with a lovely umbrella. There are fish in the water that are quite fun to watch swim up to receive small pieces of bread and banana. There are beautiful trails winding around the creek with chairs to sit and relax and listen to the creek as it gurgles past. A lovely hammock in the woods where you can enjoy the peace and serenity around you. We were not really bothered by bugs, the odd mosquito, some flies as it barely rained on and off, nothing to be concerned about. The stomping grounds have beautifully gigantic comfy chairs and couches on different platforms so you can relax with friends who come with you or new ones you meet at Soper Creek! Lovely BBQ AREA WITH A GRILL AS WELL. One day is not enough, it just whets your appetite for more. The tour of the facility is really fascinating as the animals change due new ones being brought in or health reasons. ALL the staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They also have an upgraded tour where you can go into certain cafes and feed the animals, touch them, always with the animal's best interest, if an animal dies not want to come out, they respect that. The animals get amazing care and are given the best possible life they can live while being captive. If they can be released into the wild that is there ultimate goal. They even have day camp for children and special events to raise money to care for the animals. They RECEIVE NO FUNDING OF ANY KIND FROM ANY LOCAL, Provincial or Federal govt. This is hands on, phenomenal volunteers and just an amazing place to check out! They have an Amazon wish list and also a list of many household items they need frequently, paper towel abs the empty rolls, NEWSPAPER, toilet paper empty rolls, please check them out, you will be glad you did!!

A beautiful place to connect with nature and let the stress melt away. We chose this for our wedding anniversary as we have always loved nature, but are old enough now to appreciate not sleeping on the ground. The power supply they provided charged our phones, lights, the fan they provide and my CPAP machine for 2 days without any issues. We had our own little outhouse with a pump sink. The trails are beautiful and there are lights everywhere for night time walks. The stomping ground is a great place to hang out, have a BBQ, or play one of the many games provided. We used the binoculars and saw some beautiful birds. At your private site there is a firepit provided if you don't feel like being social at the common areas. Your hosts are the most sweetest, genuinely good people you will ever meet. We are definitely booking again. Love you Soper Creek❤️❤️❤️

My daughter and I spent a night here (July 28th/29th 2022) at Soper Creek Wilderness Villas 'The Crow's Nest' site which had a brand new geodome. The dome has two queen size beds, It was absolutely beautiful and clean inside. We happened to have the full grid to ourselves, as no one else had that day booked. The whole site was ours and it was lovely. I had my morning coffee in the forest by the stream, how serene. The crow's nest overlooks the pond, and you can hear the frogs at night - We fell asleep to their music, it was actually quite calming! Stars at night, fireflies, and some howls here and there. Wilderness in style. I'd love to go back with my husband for a weekend away. The crow's nest is (in my opinion) the best site there, as it's far away from any of the other sites. I also loved the Soper Creek animal tour that came with the package, AND the money you spend on the camping experience goes towards the animal sanctuary - Can't get any better than that! Thank you so much for this wonderful experience. We hope to come back next season, or maybe in the fall if that option is available.
