Our favourite favourite hip camp we have stayed at in Ontario. Host was super friendly and beyond accommodating. This farm is a beautiful quiet oasis. If you love star gazing, bonfires and a woodfired hot tub this is your place.

Another fantastic camp stay at this beautiful farm! We loved our new spot on the property just as much as the last one. From the moment we arrived, the hosts welcomed us back with open arms, making us feel right at home. The magic of this place is all thanks to the incredible hosts who treat every guest like family. We had a great time visiting with the farm animals and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of their barn. The provided firewood was a thoughtful touch that made our nights around the campfire so much easier. The amenities are excellent; the outhouse was impeccably clean, and the dishwashing station made cleanup a breeze. This is truly a special place! <3

We really enjoyed camping on Pennys land! The short drive to the cabin was beautiful! The trees really gave us privacy, which we loved :)
The cabin was so cozy and clean, and the provided bbq, burner and propane was very convenient!
Great experience!!!

Absolutely nothing negative could be said about this trip.
From the host to the land to the location to the amenities - it was the perfect spot.
Micheal - couldn't have had a better host – so friendly and positive and quick to respond – everything you would want in a host.
The land was perfect for many tents (flat) with a nice fire pit and beautiful view of the barn (that was lit up) and the land around.
The location was close to small towns - looking forward to exploring more than what we did on our next booking.
Amenities - from the barn with the record player and ping pong table to the dish washing station to the hot tub (we didn't have time to enjoy but next time!) to the bathroom facility to the volleyball court to feeding the horses and sheep and the vegetable basket received on arrival.
All around it was perfect and exactly what we needed. Looking forward to our next trip up there.

What a beautiful spot this is! Michael and Jenny’s care for the Land and creating something beautiful on it really emanates all around you in every step you take. It was a pleasure to meet them, and to support the great work they are doing, and their lovely little family! Lots to cool stuff to see and do in the area, too!

Camped with a group of 10, lots and lots of tent room! The land was absolutely gorgeous, spacious and very well upkeept. Theres a beautiful barn to hangout with that has lights when it gets dark, a ping pong table and lots of chairs and tablespace for meals. The flowers grown theyre are so pretty and the animals are so cute! They had a wood-burning hot tub and small cold plunge, super nice toilets and a shower, all with working water as well as a new outhouse installed that was nice. Theres some waterfalls super close by too. I highly recommend here, the stay was amazing, the host Michael is so friendly and the whole experience went so perfectly for our group! ❤️

We had such a lovely time here! It was so quiet, and surrounded by beautiful ravens. There was even one that kept saying hello! The cabin was clean and not buggy. The outhouse was well maintained. They even provide a tent area outside the cabin so we could eat without getting attacked by bees.
Such a lovely property, very close by some beaches, small towns and really cool antique shops! The hosts were so warm and friendly.
I think our only suggestion would be to bring a foam mattress for the loft bed, as it's a very thin matt to sleep on. We're not in our 20s anymore, and definitely needed a thicker bed!
Would definitely recommend this rental. It's quiet, private, relaxing and exactly what we needed. 5/5!

From the time we arrived at the cabin, I readily told myself that I should have booked a longer stay. We loved the cabin and the facilities at the site. The site was also near provincial and municipal parks for all the activities you want to engage in. The site is also not so far from a big town where you can get anything you need. Even the instructions and tips given upon booking were so thorough that I didn't need to clarify anything. The owner was also very responsive and accommodating. We definitely recommend this place.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Mike and Jen's farm! The property is idyllic – on top of the camping experience, you really can't beat playing the piano in a century-old barn – and Mike and Jen were incredibly helpful and generous hosts. Our kids loved meeting the animals and had a blast in the hot tub "pool". I hope we get to visit again in years to come!

What an incredible place! Mike was so welcoming and this place had a bit of everything. Such a great experience camping next to the animals, having that barn to hang out in, and still be in nature. I would actually go back there. Super kid friendly, super dog friendly

Our stay at this organic farm was absolutely incredible and an unforgettable experience! From the get-go, our host made us feel so welcome and at home - he made us feel like part of the family. The property is breathtaking—spacious, serene, and surrounded by nature in the best way. You really get to unplug and soak in the peaceful vibes.
The highlight of our trip was definitely the boat ride our host took us on—such a special experience! It was such a thoughtful and unique addition to the experience—we’ll remember it for a long time. It felt like the perfect way to see the beauty of the land from a whole new perspective. His family was equally amazing, making the whole experience even more memorable, their hospitality added so much warmth to the entire trip.
One of the other special parts of the trip was watching the animals from the barn. It was such a heartwarming experience to see them up close, and it added such a cozy, rustic charm to our stay.
If you're looking for a unique and genuine farm stay with incredible hosts, this is the spot! Highly recommend!

The best ranch camping near Bancroft guide
Where to go
Algonquin Provincial Park
Enjoy the nearly untouched woodlands of Algonquin Provincial Park, just 50 minutes away from Bancroft. As Canada’s first provincial park, it’s home to giant moose, racing rivers, quiet ponds, and scenic hiking trails that traverse its 7,600 square kilometres. Explore interpretive walking trails and canoe or kayak river rapids. In the winter, try dog sledding or summer camp in the wild backcountry. Nearby campgrounds and RV parks are available year-round as well.
Egan Chutes Provincial Park
Waterfalls and old forests fill Egan Chutes Provincial Park. Drive 15 miles from town to enjoy popular park activities like hiking, canoeing on the York River, and birding. Hikers can also find both easy and moderately challenging hikes. Then, try nearby cabin rentals, RV parks, and campgrounds offering convenient amenities like restrooms, firepits, and picnic areas.
Petroglyphs Provincial Park
Home to the largest concentration of the country’s indigenous rock carvings, Petroglyphs Provincial Park also offers pristine forests and famed blue-green waters at McGinnis Lake. Campers can peruse the carvings of humans and animals at The Teaching Rocks while hiking the surrounding landscape. Although the park does not offer camping or cabin rentals, these accommodations can be found nearby or back in Bancroft.
When to go
Campers enjoy visiting Bancroft year-round. Although summertime is popular, each season offers outdoor fun. June through August is peak camping season, which is complemented by activities like swimming, boating, and hiking. While winter and spring attract fewer campers, there are still plenty of activities and campsites in operation; though it’s important to monitor the weather and possible road closures due to snow. After summer, autumn is Bancroft’s most popular season with its colourful foliage, fall festivals, and farmer’s markets.
