We moved here 2 yrs ago and love it! Been working on upgrading and fixing just about everything. We live off-grid, but have solar power and a generator. We have a big garden and orchard. 2 of our tent sites are close to the house and outhouse, 150ft or so. I process firewood and do handyman work, while the mrs. works from home on the computer, so there is always someone here if we're needed. If need be you can charge you cell phones from our house. We will try to accomodate guests needs whatever they may be. Learn more about this land: Welcome to Red Pine Forest, located on Manitoulin Island! We have 4 campsites available for tents or 2 for RVs. We have 100 acres of mixed conifers, including red and white pine. The property boasts a vast variety of flora and fauna, including deer, grouse, porcupine, reptiles like salamanders, hummingbirds and songbirds along with the usual woodland critters, so bring your camera! It is also possible to spot black bears, coyotes, lynx and bobcats.  There is a large common fire pit on the property. There is a newer cedar outhouse located near 2 of the tenting sites. You are welcome to walk our trails which can be quite rugged at times, with many alvars and unique flora. There are many beautiful lakes nearby to explore, kayak and fish. You can pitch a hammock under massive pines if you like. Misery Bay Provincial Park is 10 minutes away. There are 2 native reserves nearby that offer the world's largest drum and dream catcher.  Locals are friendly and our resident woodworker has some beautiful carvings to see. It is fairly quiet and peaceful, as we are not on the highway. If you time it right you may find mushrooms, or wild strawberries and raspberries. There is a local diner 5 mins away. There is a local market on Saturdays to explore. We are 420 friendly. Please have a look at our extras below! If interested, add them on to your reservation at the time of booking. We look forward to hosting you!

Best winter camping!
Darryl and Vicky where wonderful hosts. The property is big and densely forested. They have made a excellent private tent spot. The little forest clearing kept the wintery winds away and gave us the most incredible view of the night sky. We got some great hardwood for our hot tent from them that kept us super warm. They are very friendly and knowledgeable hosts. It was a great way to get to know the island. We will definitely come back.

I stayed here for 1 night while motorcycle camping/touring the island. The property is very secluded. There's an outhouse on-site. My only complaint was, there was only one designated fire pit close to the house, I needed the fire to cook my food, dry out gear and provide warmth, so I had to sleep close to the main house. Others might not find this an issue. I was tight for time so didn't explore the property. Darryl was very welcoming on arrive,

The place almost at the end of the island, in sort of way , it's a good thing . You really in the nature, but the potty(toilet) is far from your campsite, luckily we had a small camping toilet in our truck. Good to sleep one night and move on your trip.

True camping experience!!!
We loved camping on Darryl’s land! It’s huge, with lots of things to do and explore. Darryl and Vicky were also amazing- very kind, funny and genuine people. Originally, we were looking for local campsites in Manitoulin Island; however, due to the long weekend, everything was booked. Luckily, we came across Darryl’s posting on Hipcamp. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by the hosts who gave us a tour of their land which comprised of many different trails to explore. They provided us with various options on where to set up- either close to their home or secluded and deeper into the woods (we chose to be secluded). Our site was perfect- right off the road so it was easy to back in and out with the car but deep enough so that we were away from everything. Our site was surrounded by tall, overcasting trees which shaded us from the daytime sun but was open enough to view the starry night sky. If you aren’t coming with an itinerary, not to worry because Darryl offers many different excursions which can really elevate your experience on the island! If you’re planning a trip to the island, I would highly recommend staying at Darryl’s site. In addition to the amazing campsite, you’ll also have wonderful hosts/tour guides! 10/10 recommend!!! Thank you Darryl and Vicky for such a wonderful stay!

Upon arrival you'll meet up with Darryl, who'll direct you to the few cutouts near his house to pitch a tent - and not so subtly encourage you to instead take your tent and pitch it anywhere in the woods he owns, as deep as you dare go. And it's a beautiful wood - thick with trees, plenty of pathways to explore, lots of animals and birds and critters to see. I recommend going into the forest, it was a great night. Barely any mosquitos and no animals bothered me. Campfires are limited to the communal firepit by the house, where Darryl will take care of tending to it while chatting you up.
