Camping near Barrie with fishing

1 night at Pine the Sky

Joan was an incredible host, who we were lucky to have our first Hipcamp experience with. Very personable, hospitable, and accommodating -- she treated us with the warmth of an old friend, which we will forever be grateful for. Pine the Sky is wonderful! The Strawberry bunkie is a short 3 minute walk from the parking area next to Joan's cabin. It's just the perfect distance away - - far enough to feel secluded, but close enough for a water refill, outhouse trip, shower, or cargo run. Joan provides her guests with a very capable wheelbarrow, so there's no need to fret about making multiple trips to your car. Despite its size, the bunkie was very capable: equipped with a futon upstairs (low headroom), and pullout bed + dining set downstairs, as well as a heater and multiple precharged light sources, you've got all the ingredients for a comfy stay. An enclosed fuel generator out back powers the cabin, which was surprisingly quiet! The property is tranquil, safe, and easy to access. Being engulfed by the pine trees is as invigorating as it is enjoyable, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a breath of fresh air. The best part about our stay, though, by far, has to be Obsidian, one of Joan's two dogs. You'll know exactly what I mean when you meet him! ;) He's captured our hearts fully, and we would be happy to return even just to see him again. Just book it, you'll have a great time! 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

1 night at Pine the Sky

I loved being at Joan's wooden cabin♥️ Beautiful experience, she's a great host! It's very nice and quiet in the pine tree forest, and the cabin is very clean and welcoming. Thank you for having me!

The most amazing view, Carl was so accommodating with our party of three RV’s even in the cold rain, we enjoyed the fire pit and was able to enjoy the experience. Will definitely be booking in July when the weather is warmer!

We had a great experience at the Pine in the Sky. We stayed at Strawberry Fields Bunkie last weekend. Joan is an exceptional host, she accomodated our stay since my partner’s flight arrived at 10pm and got to the cabin around 1:30am. She had left us an instructions of how to get to our cabin. At the same time, she’s making sure that we have everything that we needed.

Weekend Trip to WÄRME Sauna Cabin: Couples Retreat

We loved our weekend at Sean and Michele’s cabin. The landscape was beautiful and everything was so comfortable, clean, and beautiful.

Weekend Trip to Sparrow Lake Camp

Absolutely beautiful space to camp. We had three RV’s and had more than enough space to maneuver. Even in the cold rain the scenery was spectacular. We are sorry we didn’t get the chance to explore the grounds more due to the weather.

We loved the privacy and being right on the lake. Many hands make for light work when moving your gear from your vehicle to the site, a short hike down a nice trail. If you have mobility issues this site might be challenging but it’s beautiful and we had a great time. Brendan was kind and friendly. We fished right off the rocks with much success. Would recommend this site for sure.

The property is well kept, i can't imagine cutting all that grass! Our pond spot was beautiful. Perfect for little kids to swim! Totally can bring floates out and float! Tons of privacy, Walking trails and the cutest rescue hobby farm. We loved feeding our scraps to the pigs! Carl was a very responsive host and very nice! Would love to return!

Weekend Trip to Affordable Camping on Hobby Farm

We absolutely love Natures Acres. We try to make a point to stay here at least twice a season. This type of privacy makes it hard to go back to provincial or private parks. Carl and his wife are excellent hosts.

Beautiful views. Lots of personal space. Quiet and beautiful. Bathroom rooms were far away from our site, but was still doable.

Weekend Trip to Ranchers2

Great place to camp,great surroundings and very nice and accomodating hosts.Would return.Thanks Brian and Terri

Even though the weather was not ideal, Joan was really helpful and quick to answer any questions we had! Very accommodating and everything went flawlessly! Will definitely come back and recommend to others!

Cabin was closer to the main house than we thought but was still tucked away enough! Went for a swim on one of the nice days in the river (tip: bring some rope to help you climb out as it’s very slippery clay) Went fishing and caught a very small brook trout. Host and doggos are very sweet! The area is full of amazing sights, you can make an entire day out of adventuring the area within 25 mins of the cabin

Weekend Trip to Three Ponds Homestead

The site was private and quiet. It was great having access to firewood and we enjoyed seeing the various farm animals. The outhouse was clean and having water near our site was very convenient. We would book again in the future. Thank you for having us!

Wendi was a great host! Super friendly and kind. We also enjoyed staying in the Safari tent which was very clean and spacious for 4 people. I would come back again 😊

1 night at Uxbridge Igloo

Our stay was amazing. Naithan and his family were all very helpful. Any issues we had, they took care of it right away. Would definitely recommend. The sauna was a great addition.

Staying at Natures Acres was one of the best camping experiences me and my family have ever had! The hosts were so friendly and made us feel very welcome at their campground. The site was gorgeous and spacious. The dock on the water was an amazing place to hangout from sunrise to sunset. We will definitely be coming back here again!

We had an amazing time here for a cozy little getaway. The property was beautiful, the hosts were great. The little cabin was cozy comfortable. It was all great to go visit Hoggs Falls and Eugenenia Falls which was super fun. Thank you for an amazing weekend. We really hope to return soon.

1 night at Pine the Sky

We tent camped at river site. The site was a great a walk from parking. We had ample spots to pitch, and a great angle for watching the sunsets, and to have a mellow rise in the morning. The fit pit is great and the cooking rack matched perfectly. The Host was a gem, Perfect, very easy and and fun to boot. Will be booking again. We booked this site as it seamed the closest To Devils Glen Provincial Park, and closer to to rock climbing parking spot at Devils Glen. It allowed for a direct route through Fllesherton that has a couple great coffee and take away breakfast options.

Pine the Sky

This beautiful spot was re-forested with pine a number of years ago, and was sectioned off from the surrounding farmland, which is now maintained by the mennonite community. It is 8 1/2 acres of wetland and forest, with a mown perimeter, and cool places to tuck into the forest for the night. The current owner was a special educator, and now is slowly turning the land into her homestead. There is a beautiful, spa quality outdoor shower next to a tidy and 'fancier than most' outhouse, a strawberry patch as well as wild alpine strawberries all over the property, a big dog and a small indoor cat keep her company. Here is what the land offers: -Bunkie in the Forest: A sweet 8x8 ft. space with new bunk and mattresses as of April 2023 -Strawberry Fields bunkie: an 10x12 space with a loft with a queen memory foam mattress and a main floor with a full futon and a small table -Campsites: Meadow, Forest and River spots. Close to each other, but you'd never know it! All three are chill and serene places. The property backs onto a ten-foot swimming hole in an otherwise shallow part of the Saugeen River. -RV Spot: With electric hook up ideal for RVs 30 feet and under -a connection to the organization, 'Black Folks Camp Too'! Welcoming to all!!!!! So much to see and do in the area!

Sparrow Lake Camp

Sparrow Lake Camp is situated on the southernmost tip of the majestic Canadian Shield. The site is known to have been a campground for bands of the Huron people prior to the European intrusion. It is considered probable that Samuel de Champlain, the first European to explore Huronia, spent a night on this site in the 17th Century.In 1892, what would become the west side of the current property was sold by pioneer Captain Thomas Stanton to Toronto's renowned Massey family to act as their summer resort. The resort sported the main lodge, dining room, and cottages and was only accessible by train and steamer. From the onset, the Masseys used the site as a summer retreat for the Young Men's Bible League of the Central Methodist Church. Today, the property is a thriving summer camp that also offers overnight tent stays with stunning lake views.
