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

3 nights at Ranger on Rice!
The type of person you are and your expectations of what should be…determines how you accept your stay anywhere you go!!!
I can ABSOLUTELY say that my stay with my son at Tara’s piece of heaven on earth…known to most as…land…was wayyyy more than what I hoped for!!!
There was so much going on around us…and you know what…we didn’t even notice a thing going on…unless we wanted to notice something going on! Plain n Simple!!!
We were on a FAMILY owned PARADISE…with amazing people all around…no matter which way you poke a stick at it!
Peter…you’re a great man and just from our talks…I want you to know that I will forever be at your beck and call…WHEREVER and WHENEVER you need ANY sort of help!
Will most definitely be returning and for at least a month buddy!!!

Weekend Trip to Ranger on Rice!
Had a great stay! Peaceful, rejuvenating simple days.
Pros:
+ The RV is well furnished and comfortable. Sink, flush toilet, full fridge and even microwave!
+ Close to the lake, great if you have a boat.
+ Good fishing, little weedy but a good time.
+ Everything was clean.
+ Everyone was very friendly and accommodating!
Cons:
- The space is quite open and not very private if you're hoping for a "camping" feeling experience.
- The trees are by the lake so there isn't any shade or shelter. I'd recommend bringing a canopy or beach tent.
- The RV is older and not completely bug proof, our swatter got plenty of use.
Overall quite pleased and highly recommend staying here. Consider the RV a significant upgrade to a tent, get out on the lake if you can, you'll have a great time!

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.

We really enjoyed our stay, Peter was prompt at helping us when we needed it. This is a great place if you like peace and quiet. We enjoyed watching the sunset over the hill and the sunrise over the lake. Lots of geese and other birds to watch and listen to.

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! ❤️

Lovely place! Definitely worth the price. Beautiful views of the lake, fields, and farm. Fishing and swimming was so fun. The trailer and matress was very comfortable. They have fans in the trailer, but If you open the windows, there is a lovely cross breeze. There is a microwave for convenience and a fridge. They also provide a BBQ outside. I did bring my Coleman stove too. I could have easily stayed there for longer, wish I did! The owners were so friendly and accommodating. Everything was amazing!!! I would DEFINITELY go again!

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

We stayed over the August long weekend and had a great time! We’re usually tent campers, so having a trailer to stay in felt like a real upgrade. The trailer is older and a little rough around the edges, and the water out front is weedy—but that’s pretty typical for Rice Lake. That said, we brought our kayaks and spent a couple of relaxing days on the water. The shallow entry was perfect for lounging in beach chairs, with nice sandy footing underfoot.
Peter and his wife were wonderful hosts—welcoming, helpful, and always close by if we needed anything. One of our favourite moments was watching the sunset over the barn and farmer’s field in the distance. Absolutely beautiful.
If you’re expecting a luxury cottage, this might not be for you—but if you’re after a peaceful and private spot that feels like a step up from camping, this place is a gem. Come with the right expectations, and you’ll leave relaxed and happy.

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!

Highly recommend for a peaceful and unique getaway!

Michael’s farm is the perfect place for a serene getaway! We only stayed in one night but easily could have stayed much much longer. Michael was a wonderful host and was so enthusiastic about the land and making us feel welcome. We enjoyed watching the horses, having a fire, and picking strawberries! I would recommend this camp to anyone :)

Loved camping at Michael and Jenny’s farm. Magical property. Beautiful, simple set up. You have access to a sink with cold water, an outdoor shower and a bathroom. The wood fired hot tub and cold plunge were awesome. The kids loved the big open space, the chickens and the horses. There’s a little area with soccer nets and a volleyball net which was a blast to use. We’d definitely stay again :)

They are by far the warmest and most welcoming hosts I’ve ever met.
They always put their guests comfort first and never hesitate to take the time to share about their beautiful land.
I’ll definitely be back to meet Mike, Jen, the animals, and Juniper again.

The best camping near Belleville with horseback riding guide
Where to go
Prince Edward County
Just across Belleville Bay Bridge, Prince Edward County is home to beaches, Lake Ontario waters, and Sandbanks Provincial Park. With expansive sandy shores and shallow waters, the park offers a great spot to go swimming, kayaking, or sunbathing. The bird migration hotspot is also popular among birdwatchers. Find beachfront and waterfront campsites throughout Prince Edward and within Sandbanks Provincial Park that have excellent access to the county’s noteworthy wineries and farm-to-table restaurants. Then, return back to nature in a year-round waterfront cottage rental.
Bon Echo Provincial Park
North of Belleville, Bon Echo Provincial Park is best known for Mazinaw Rock. The sheer rock cliff rises 100-metres above the shores of Mazinaw Lake. A national historic site of Canada, the cliff face is adorned with a diverse collection of over 260 First Nations pictographic symbols. From the park’s various campsites—backcountry, roofed, and RV—campers can paddle up in a canoe or kayak to get a closer view of the ancient artwork. Then, wander along nature trails that weave through forests, wetlands, and lake shorelines.
Thousand Islands National Park
One of the most unique camping experiences available near Belleville is Thousand Islands National Park on St. Lawrence River. Despite its name, the park actually consists of 20 granite islets of varying sizes where explorers can snorkel and dive to observe underwater wildlife. Both mainland and island camping are available, but island access is only by private boat. Amenities vary by island and may not include potable water. Glampers may want to try cottage rentals in luxurious waterfront locations around the park as another option.
When to go
With average daytime temperatures in the mid-20s, summertime is peak camping season near Belleville. Warm, sunny weather is ideal for swimming, hiking, and mountain biking, and campsites can fill up quickly. In spring, landscapes fill with blossoming flowers and budding trees. It’s also when Maple in the County festivities take place, which celebrate the region’s maple syrup production with activities, tours, and tastings. Vibrant autumn foliage sets a colorful stage for fall camping. It’s also harvest season for apple picking at local orchards. Winter temperatures are colder, ranging from -2 to 0°C.
