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

Weekend Trip to Macksville Acres

Great little spot, small, cabin. Great for two people. There is a 2nd level Bunky but it might be a little tight to sleep in. Recommend for two people Max. Very rustic, yet well built cabin. Wood burning stove was easy to use. Note pit toilet ia open to elements. Quiet, location, sweet little forest. Lots of great birds to see including woodpeckers in the surrounding forest. Went in November for a micro sabbatical would be nice to go back in the summer. Host very attentive, and considerate. Highly recommend.

Second time at this adorable cabin. Very well stocked but also minimalistic. Great place to extend the camping season if you don't have a hot tent. As always really enjoyed the wood stove and the quiet and calm of the open field. Really melancholic sitting by the fire and watching the geese migration at sunset

Sean and Michele have created a little slice of peace in a gorgeous nook of nature that you wouldn't want to miss out on. My partner and I really appreciated the effort they've put towards making the cabin comfortable, stress-free, and fun with everything that'd be on your packing list and more. If you are looking for a special getaway to rejuvenate and take in a stellar view, you've found it here. A million thanks again for an unforgettable couple of days. It was a warm welcome but a difficult departure!

We had a great night at the cabin! We were longing for the camp fire in the evening, so we enjoyed the stars while roasting marshmallows. The cabin was very cozy with the wood stove. Scott had the place stocked with lots of dry wood for both the campfire and stove. We both slept well on the fold down futon. The mattress was very comfortable. We played cards, games and just unplugged from the world. The cabin was a short 1.5 hrs from home and was a great get away from the city for a night. We look forward to our next visit.

Stayed with my dog as a treat for his bday and it was so lovely. Loved the wood stove and the rustic feel of the cabin. We'll definitely be back as this is great for winter "camping" when it's too cold for a tent

I loved all the amenities! From the views off the back deck, the warmth of the hot tub during cold nights, the massive sauna inside the cabin, and the large shower, we really enjoyed our stay. What an amazing little getaway not far from the city. Thanks!
