Nestled at the edge of a UNESCO world heritage site, and a 5-minute dive from Big Rideau Lake -- part of the Rideau Canal System, Stonegate Farm is a remarkable 1830's property; virtually unchanged since it was carved out of the local wilderness some 190 years ago. The historic stone farmhouse, outbuildings and majestic post-and-beam bank barn, originally built to support a 200-acre dairy farm, now sits on 50-acres that features waving pastoral fields, tranquil maple forest, and serene wetland. Our camping sites are located at the edge of a beautiful old-growth maple forest, with two sites on a stunning and peaceful ridge, overlooking a unique wetland where migratory and song-birds flourish and waterfowl and wetlands animals congregate. It is an amazing window into the way this incredible unique ecosystem looked hundreds of years ago. Private secluded sites to reconnect with nature and /or the perfect base from which to discover the many unique regional attractions and experience the great outdoors. The natural beauty of South Eastern Ontario is at our doorstep. Bring your own tent or rent a tent and equipment at the time of booking. We look forward to hosting you!

Site 2 - Maple Forest Camping
My husband, 8 year old pup and I had a terrific stay on Dave and Alicia's land. We were greeted with a friendly welcome by Dave and given options of where to stay given the recent, very rainy weather. We expected to just be tenting out in a lovely field, but what we got was much more! A tent had already been erected that housed a table and chairs, a clean little privy (like from a boat), potable water and a light! This immediately notched the experience up to glamping, as instead of getting our tent wet on the soaked ground, we immediately decided to just move some things around and sleep inside there! We all slept well and had a beautiful sunrise to greet us in the field the next morning. Dave was a very friendly and generous host. The Harlem Stonegate B&B is also lovely; we think we'll need to come back and stay there some day as well!
