This property was settled by the Irish in the mid 1800’s. Originally inhabited by Algonquin peoples the land was cleared for farming and they erected several building including a large German style hand hewn timber frame barn which still stands and is used today. The farm house was built in the 1910 and the original log cabins have been reframed into artistic buildings. It is wild to look around and imagine what life was like before now in a time when the land had no boundry lines and was traversed by indigenous peoples of this area. We have a great respect for those who have walked before us and a deep sense of gratitude for being here today.

We stayed at the Hemlock Grove site with 7 people, 3 cars and had plenty of room! We had 2 hammocks and 3 tents, this site is great for hammocking. Brent was very accommodating and provided all the information we needed. Unfortunately we got hit with some bad weather, but I would recommend Tryfan Forest to anyone looking to enjoy a quiet weekend on a beautiful piece of land.

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

Ridgeview - Lot 1 gave us some incredible Instagram-worthy moments by the river! The trees on the property offered the perfect balance of shade and sunlight exactly where we wanted it, making it easy to set up our tents and hammock to relax. :)
We really appreciated the tented picnic table that Daric provided - it served as a critter-safe storage space for our food at night and a convenient prep area during the day. It was also located just a few steps away from the propane BBQ grill, which made cooking super easy.
There were two firepits to choose from, and we were provided with plenty of firewood for our stay. The canoe (with paddles and life jackets) and a set of bicycles were a great bonus - such a fun way to explore the area!
Daric stopped by to introduce himself and check in on us, which we really appreciated. He's a great host.
We also liked that the parking spot wasn't right next to the tent site but a little up the way—it gave the campground a more peaceful, secluded vibe.
Overall, a fantastic stay. Highly recommended!

Hemlock Point was a great spot. 10/10
My wife and I stayed there for 4 nights and could have stayed 4 nights more. We lucked out with the weather, so that also contributed to a great time.
Situated on tranquil black pond with lily pads and lots of frogs. We even saw a big beaver!
Daric, who was a great host, obviously takes a lot of pride in his land, maintains a nice hiking trail around the pond that made for a lovely morning hike.
Nice bon fire pit in the evenings under a million stars.
We had a great time.

The best river, stream, or creek RV sites 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.
