The best lakeside camping in Bruce Peninsula

·

Lake camping on the Bruce Peninsula puts you right where you want to be: clear water, rocky shoreline, and forest trails that wind down to the edge. With 36 spots tailored for lakeside stays, you’ll find everything from rustic hideaways to laid-back cabins. Average prices sit around $160 a night, but you can snag a site for as little as $35. Reviews highlight Olde Eden on Mountain Lake (56 reviews) for its private dock and glassy morning paddles, Cabinco - Northern Bruce Peninsula (31 reviews) for easy access to snow trails, and Cozy Lake Huron Cottage (28 reviews) for sunset views straight off the porch. Campfires are allowed, showers keep things civilised, and dogs are welcome. Bring binoculars—wildlife-watching here is serious business. Swim in summer, snowshoe in winter, and always keep an eye out for the resident herons.

Weekend Trip to Cabinco - Northern Bruce Peninsula
My wife, our dog, and I had a great time staying here for 2 nights. The trailer is very comfortable and has everything you could possibly need, which made our stay easy and enjoyable. We would definitely consider coming back in the future. The only downside was that the site we chose offered almost no privacy, and the neighbouring site was very crowded and noisy with over 14 people, two tents, and three cars. I was under the impression that trailers usually have a maximum of 4 guests, so this was a bit unexpected. Overall, a good experience and a nice spot, but something to be aware of depending on the site you choose.

We had a wonderful stay at this campground! Victoria and Chris were warm and welcoming hosts, and their three dogs were so friendly (we loved when they stopped by the site for some pats). The property is peaceful, with plenty of space to relax. Nights were quiet and calm, and the sky was full of stars - a perfect spot for stargazing. Plus, it’s just a short drive to Saugeen Beach, which was a great bonus. Highly recommend for a peaceful getaway!

We had a great time camping at Olde Eden on Mountain Lake. The land was perfectly taken care of and we were nestled in the trees making the area feel very private, especially since we were the only campers between sites 1 and 2. The lake was really nice to sit by in the morning and watch the sun come up. Thank you very much for making this space for campers!
