Welcome to Cedar Creek Forest Camping! Voted second best campsite in Canada in 2021 and ranked number 2 in Ontario in 2022. I have 97 acres of very private camping. The forest is a bird watcher’s and nature lover’s paradise. I have developed miles of flat groomed trails and a 3-acre pond (plus several bush ponds). The sites are spread around the pond and are close but not right beside it. There is an abundant amount of wildlife to explore: birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects and mammals call this home. There is a small swimming hole on the island but otherwise the pond is full of aquatic life. The sites and trails are maintained all year long and the forest is quiet and beautiful. I have planted over 3000 trees with the help of the Severn Sound Environmental Association. The forest is registered as a managed woodlot with the province and habitat preservation/restoration is the priority goal. Please DO NOT bring firewood for your visit. I have large bags of cured firewood that was sustainable harvested from the forest available. Invasive insects and disease can be transferred from imported wood. Guests are welcome to quietly explore the forest trails but are asked to stay on the trail. Many birds and animals nest in the forest. My campsite is family-friendly (and pet-friendly), and 420 friendly too. Guests can easily drive up to and park at all campsites. My camp site is tolerant and respectful of all humans, animals and things. The Yurtle structures were built from Hemlock trees that were cut from this forest and processed into boards, then engineered into unique camping huts. Large windows capture the glory of the surrounding forest and sun sets, while wood stoves warm campers on those cold days/nights. Guests are asked to remove excessive garbage and recycling when possible. Thanks for viewing and visiting, cheers and peace, Dave

A plush leather loveseat invites you to unwind after a day of exploring, while elegant laminate floors add a stylish touch. Air conditioning keeps you comfortable no matter the weather. The dome comfortably sleeps two, but guests are welcome to bring others and pitch a tent nearby. Important Air Conditioning Note Because the dome is made entirely of glass, sunlight warms the interior during the day. As a result, the space tends to stay warm (not hot) even with air conditioning running and won’t cool as much as a traditional insulated room. However, on cloudy days and evenings with little sunlight, the dome feels quite cool. The 3-ton air conditioning unit and fans circulate air and help reduce heat, but when the sun is shining, it won’t get cold inside. Thank you for understanding and enjoying the unique atmosphere of this beautiful glass dome!

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.

A plush leather loveseat invites you to unwind after a day of exploring, while elegant laminate floors add a stylish touch. Air conditioning keeps you comfortable no matter the weather. The dome comfortably sleeps two, but guests are welcome to bring others and pitch a tent nearby. Important Air Conditioning Note Because the dome is made entirely of glass, sunlight warms the interior during the day. As a result, the space tends to stay warm (not hot) even with air conditioning running and won’t cool as much as a traditional insulated room. However, on cloudy days and evenings with little sunlight, the dome feels quite cool. The 3-ton air conditioning unit and fans circulate air and help reduce heat, but when the sun is shining, it won’t get cold inside. Thank you for understanding and enjoying the unique atmosphere of this beautiful glass dome!

Bayfield camping guide

Where to go

Inverhuron Provincial Park

Sandy beaches, rolling dunes, and spectacular Lake Huron sunsets are the main draws to Inverhuron Provincial Park. Choose from three park trails—ranging from easy to moderate difficulty and length—to explore its wetlands and new-growth hardwood forests. Get a view from the water with kayak, canoe, or small boat launches, perfect for some offshore fishing for salmon, trout, and bass. Here, Hipcampers are a short drive from scenic coastal campgrounds and cabin rentals.

MacGregor Point Provincial Park

Spanning more than 1,200 hectares of pristine land, MacGregor Point Provincial Park is one of the Bayfield region’s most important nature reserves. This diverse ecosystem supports all manner of life in its many biomes, including swamps, cattail marshes, bogs, and seven kilometres of lakeside beach. It’s even home to 10 species of rare, carnivorous plants, including the pitcher plant. Among the wildlife, the park offers activities year-round, including hiking and paddling in summer, and snowshoeing, ice skating, and cross-country skiing in winter. A number of yurt rentals are also available nearby.

Long Point Provincial Park

Long Point Provincial Park is one of the top destinations in North America for birdwatchers thanks to large migrations of more than 80 species of birds and waterfowl. Featuring stretches of peaceful marsh to canoe through, sandy beaches to swim off of, and a short network of paths for cyclists to explore the inland forests and bogs, Long Point camping is a must. Pitch a tent at a waterside or forested campsite.

Pinery Provincial Park

Just outside Bayfield, Pinery Provincial Park supports 700 plant species, 300 kinds of birds, and 60 butterfly species—consider it Canada’s wonderland of flora and fauna. The park also contains a rare oak savanna ecosystem, one of the only in Ontario. Here, campers can explore 10 kilometres of lakeside beach, 10 hiking trails, 14 kilometres of cycling paths, plus find opportunities for cross-country skiing, canoeing, kayaking, and paddleboarding. The park is close to secluded river flat campgrounds and quiet RV sites.

When to go

Bayfield is a year-round attraction, though it’s busiest in summer. Because it’s a lake town, tourists are drawn to the sandy beaches and Main Street from May through September, though large parks nearby can serve as breaks from the crowds. Keep up to date on the quickly changing lake conditions, as winds and currents can pick up unexpectedly. Summer visitors can expect warm days (average July highs of 25.1°C) and clear skies, while winter visitors should prepare for chillier temperatures (average January lows of -8.5°C) and ice or snow on the ground.
