Both
Wiccanfest
and Harvest Fest are held on a large piece of private land
located about
1 hour north of Toronto, and 40 minutes west of Barrie.
One of the
major attractions of the festival site, and due in large part to
its
diverse environment, is the unusually broad representation of
much of
the flora and fauna found in this part of Southern Ontario --
all
concentrated on a single site!
Although
we do
permit the limited and responsible harvesting of herbs on the
site, we
ask that you follow any directions given in terms of off limit
areas and
collection bans in this regard. Needless to say, it is
absolutely
forbidden to collect any live animal for any purpose.
There
is a
generous allotment of campsites located throughout the property,
most of
which have fire pits available for your use. The upper portion
of the
grounds is comprised of two separate large commons and is the
location
of the main site buildings. This is where you will find in
dormitory
cabins, cottages, administration building, dining hall, and
programming
cabin.
When it
comes
to choosing a location for your camping spot (that is, if you
have not
booked indoor space), a few factors should be considered.
Of those
factors, probably one of the most important is whether you want
it
relatively quiet around your camping area at night. If
that is the
case, don't set up your tent near the main fire pit as it will
definitely be loud there until sunrise. On the other hand,
if you plan
to sleep during the day hours, try to set up your tent in the
shade of
the wood or along the eastern tree line if you prefer to camp in
the
open. If you need help choosing, just ask one of our
staff.
