    About Us

    Riverscape has been a landmark destination for Saugeen River fishermen & their families since its establishment as ''The McKenzie's Camp''. It was later sold and began operating as ''MacDonald's Camp: A Three Season Family Resort in Bruce'' by Penny & Jack MacDonald. They offered housekeeping cottages, fishing charters, boat rentals, docking, live bait and tackle. Old flyers boasted Southampton entertainment including seven tennis courts, roller skating, and dancing! Jack & Penny sold the property in 1990 and it soon re-opened as ''Joe's Riverside Cottages'' until closing in 2023. Our story with this special property started in the late 1940s when Jeff's grandparents vacationed here, and continued to do so until the 1990s. Jeff's first job, at 12 years old, was at ''MacDonald's Camp'' helping with bait and tackle sales, boat rentals and property maintenance. Jeff continued working through the transition from ''MacDonald's Camp'' to ''Joe's Riverside Cottages'' and remained until he was 17 and began his career in carpentry and construction. Jeff's lifelong passion for fishing (particularly steelheading) sprouted on this property and has grown into ''Riverscape.''
