3 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Owen Sound, ON

We are fortunate to call this ecologically diverse and extremely private piece of land home, and we are excited to welcome you here to explore the magic for yourself. Our 50 acre parcel would have comprised much of the maple bush for the original 400 acre farm property. The stone fence rows and laneways lined with large boulders are remnants from the days or horse drawn carriages, likely put in place hundreds of years ago. In addition to the maple bush there are several acres of cedar bush, open wild flower meadows, as well as fields dotted with larger shade-giving trees. A small half acre of the property is used to farm fresh cut flowers which you are welcome to visit. We also have a kitchen garden, 10 egg-laying hens, 2 very friendly outdoor cats, and our black lab Abby who will likely greet you with a bark (she is very friendly). In the summer months you can enjoy a handful of lakes for swimming and boating all within 10-15 minutes of our property. We are happy to share details and locations. We are conveniently located just off of Highway 10, ten minutes north of Markdale and 25 minutes south of Owen Sound. If you are headed north to Tobermory, we are a perfect mid way point if coming from Toronto, with Tobermory just an hour and a half north of us.

We had a great time staying at Camp Kyle. Natalie was very friendly and inviting. The Cabin and outhouse were very clean. There was an outdoor kitchen available with propane burners/grill. Great for heating up or making a meal. A large fire pit and plenty of outdoor space surrounded by a beautiful landscape. The wood stove inside the cabin was a perfect addition as we were able to stay warm during the night. Thank you for sharing your land with us.

Weekend Trip to Yurt at Paisley Mill

My partner and I stayed at Emily’s Yurt this past thanksgiving weekend 2025 as a last minute booking. Emily accommodated our stay and was very quick to respond. The yurt was stunning, we’ve stayed at many hip camps and this was by far the best experience. From a eco friendly outhouse with a wood chip system, very clean and well stocked with necessities. The yurt had all supplies needed, along with many games and other activities to do. Can’t thank Emily enough for sharing her beautiful property and being so welcoming.

We LOVED it here. Very scenic! Very charming! Very cozy! The host provided everything we could have needed and access to the fridge was such a great asset. If you are into birding, this is the place for you! We saw cranes, herons and one really persistent kingfisher. You can really tell that they have put a lot of care in this place and the added little touches of care like the warm outdoor shower and the beautiful and ingenious bottle mosaic/stained glass added the perfect touch of whimsy. Overall, we really did not get stung that bad and the outhouse was really clean and accessible. Access to the canoe was really a great plus, too! I would definitely recommend who want some good ol peace and quiet ! Thank you again for letting us stay here!

My wife and I loved everything with the bunky. Everything was so calm and so clear, the shower worked very nicely, the fire pit was in perfect condition when we got there which was a nice touch, and to top it off the hosts were super friendly and nice to answer all our questions and help out when we needed it. The only downside was there were quite a few mosquitoes out, but they seem to go away with a little bug spray, and it's kinda to be expected when you're staying at a place known as stillwater. Overall 10/10

The best forest glamping in Bruce Peninsula guide

Where to go

Georgian Bay Islands National Park

Sixty-three islands make up Georgian Bay Islands National Park—part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Beausoleil Island is the park’s largest at 8-kilometres long and features lakeside vistas that campers can hike or bike to for the night. The park also hosts 130 campsites among several campgrounds—some are more primitive while others offer amenities such as flush toilets and showers. Keep in mind that the park is only accessible by boat or kayak, but there are shuttle boats available.

Tobermory

Scuba divers flock to Tobermory, the “freshwater scuba diving capital of the world.” Explore Bruce Peninsula Grotto, a wave-carved cave in the bay. Or explore shipwreck dive sites at Fathom Five National Marine Park. Then visit nearby Driftwood Cove to witness its famed stands of cliff’s edge trees—among the oldest trees in eastern North America. Its distinctive ecosystem is also home to rare orchids, like the ram’s head lady slipper. Bruce Peninsula National Park is renowned for the Bruce Trail that meanders along the crags of the Niagara Escarpment. Find rustic cabin rentals, lodges, and campsites with washrooms and picnic tables throughout Tobermory—near the cove and other attractions.

Sauble Beach

Sauble Beach, part of the eastern shores of Lake Huron, is widely known as Canada’s best beach, stretching more than 11 kilometres. Visitors come for day trips to swim, sail, beachcomb, and enjoy postcard-worthy sunsets. Campers can also find many RV parks, campsites, and cabin rentals nearby in Sauble Falls Provincial Park for beach camping experiences with amenities like electric hookups, showers, firepits, potable water, and comfort stations.

Niagara Falls

Head to Ontario’s Golden Horseshoe to check out Niagara Falls. Though popular with tourists, the region also boasts quiet, relaxed campsites for tent or RV camping as well as cabin rentals or yurts situated close to the falls. Some campgrounds offer pools, playgrounds, and full-service tour centers as well as 30 or 50-amp hookups. With romantic views and convenient walkways, the Falls offer campers a majestic sight. Plus, there are lots of convenient restaurants and shops nearby to grab provisions before heading back to the campsite.
