4WD/ATV or walk-in access only with a rough 2km of road to access campsites. Campsites are located along remote undeveloped lake with clear mostly spring-fed water. Sites are located further down on the lake where you will be able to drive to with the appropriate vehicle (listed above). To access swimming water, you will need to boat out into the lake a bit as the sites are located in a low-water area. Great for snorkeling and swimming, but to get out further into the lake where the best areas are for both these activities you will need a watercraft (paddle boards, canoes, kayaks, or small boats). On the lake itself is an island commonly used for nesting birds, and the water is both clean and clear. There is also endless ATV trails adjacent to the property, so there is more to enjoy than just the lake itself.

Weekend Trip to Trapper Lake
I had a lovely Labour Day weekend at the dam. The site is huge, private, and Trapper Lake was perfect for paddleboarding. The hike in was beautiful, but be prepared for LOTS of hills 😅 it was a fun challenge for my dog & I! Kelly is very thoughtful, communicative, and offers assistance in/out if needed. The only downside was noise from the other site. There's a good distance between sites, but unfortunately the sound traveled across the lake and they got quite rowdy. I would love to stay again, but maybe at a time when the other site is not booked!

The site was absolutely stunning! By far the most beautiful site we've ever camped at! When it says AWD only they really do mean it, thanks to our lack of diligence, we had a front wheel drive van and struggled but Kelly was an amazing host and helped us out when we needed it. I could not recommend this site more!

We had a great time staying at Blue’s Landing! The site itself is secluded and spacious, perfect for a peaceful getaway. Kelly was super responsive and came to our rescue right away when we got lost on the way — we really appreciated that! Be aware that part of the trail leading to the campground can be steep and rocky, so keep an eye on your vehicle and trailer clearance. The boat launch area had shallow water during our visit, and our inflatable dingy struggled a bit getting through the shallowest part. Trapper Lake is scenic, the water is clean, and the fishing was decent. Just a heads-up: it may not be the best for young kids to play in the water, as the shallow areas are all covered with some kind of algae. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would happily come back. Thanks again, Kelly, for being such a helpful and welcoming host!

This is THE best site we’ve been to, very quiet, scenic and the pit toilet is surprisingly clean and tidy. You definitely need 4x4 capability with high clearance to get to the site. Kelly is a great host, she swing by at our first day to make sure everything is ok. Would definitely recommend.

A nice old schoolhouse lot with pool hot tub gazebo and firepit spots. It is close to provincial parks and the caves. Eva’s kitchen offers a wide variety hungarian meals. They are always fresh and very tasty. Eva and Sandor are excellent hosts. In this old schoolhouse inn you feel yourself just like you are in Grandma’s home and treated as good friends or family members

Extremely great place to relax. We had a great time. Kelly was the best as when we stayed got hit with a big storm and came out that night/AM to make sure we are safe. The site is large and clean, has a nice fire pit with grill. More than enough room for a family getaway. I hope to make it back a few times a year.

A quiet place to get away with various wildlife to be seen including great swimming with more than 300 acres to explore, cleared trails for hiking, Thanks to a small blow down that went through a few years back.Dark clear nights for star gazing and so much more. There are seven separate sites, each with their own picnic table, fire pit, and outhouse. This is back woods camping .There is a shared beach with plenty of room for everyone. The lake is weedy in spots but just makes it better for fishing .Great place for all ages and of course all pet's welcome. Tear Drop Trailers allowed, depending on what site. Please message first.

Oct 7Update- Price reduction for the rest of the year. If you haven't gotten outside enough this year I'd love to help you. Sit by a camp fire, go for a walk in the leaves, get out on the water. Use code BOYWKRYG for 20$ off bookings of more than one night during the week. 40 acres of off grid property in the monteagle valley. We live year round on the property, growing food, tending the apple orchard, and wild foraging. Campsites nestled in the woods with lots of trails to explore. Less than 2 minute drive to Salmon Trout Lake or 15 minutes to Papineau Beach or Fosters Beach, both great for kids. Great area for canoeing, hiking and fishing. 15 minutes from Maynooth and Bancroft, 30 minutes to Algonquin Park. Queer and 420 friendly.

Natural Joy! Cosy Canoe Cottage

100%
(82)
62km from Barry's Bay · 1 site · Lodging · Bancroft, ON
The cottage is at the edge of a large wilderness area. We supply an ultra-safe large canoe with paddles and lifejackets. It's an easy and fun 15 minute paddle to reach the cottage. The cottage is an artistic gem on a safe and quiet lake with beavers and loons and numerous bird species -- owls, herons, hawks, ospreys, and many migratory songbirds. In over 20 years of experience on the lake, we've seen no bears. It's a cosy three-room place with a small bedroom (8x12) with an antique double bed; a main room (16 x12) with a single bed; and a kitchen (8X12). Sleeps 3, max. Access to the cottage is up a short set of irregular stone stairs from the lake. This could be an impediment for elderly or frail people. The lake is not a private lake. There are other cottages. But it's a very quiet lake and often there's no one else there. The landscape is very similar to Algonquin Park's. North Kawartha is famous as the birthplace of the canoe. This is a thinly-populated landscape of rugged granite bluffs, thickly-forested hills and valleys, and gorgeous lakes that remain quiet and peaceful even during the hottest summer weeks. This place was made by and for lovers, artists, poets, musicians, dreamers, writers, environmentalists, ecologists, escapists...and their children. Enjoy!
