2 nights at New Earth Estate
I had a lovely time staying at New Earth Estate. I would like to highly appreciate Nana’s husband and the team for being so kind and welcoming us at an unexpected check-in hour. I was truly humbled by their hospitality. He even managed to shovel the snow for us and get everything ready for our stay late in the evening. His gesture meant a lot to us.
I highly recommend New Earth Estate to everyone who wishes to experience serene nature and cozy vibes away from the concrete jungle. They also have sauna and hot tub facilities. I wish the hosts a healthy and prosperous life. May you always stay blessed.

We loved our stay at Jackie and Simona's land! We has the most incredible views of the stars that kept us up far later than we should have! The fire pit is huge and throws great heat. The site is really well maintained.

practical place to camp. Not a lot of other ppl camping and sites are more spread out than provincial park camping. Firewood is available for a fair extra cost. horseshoe throwing, water to wash (but not drink), and easy hiking trails are included. Convenience store/lcbo nearby.

What a fantastic spot — truly a Magical Forest as the name suggests. On my first night I pulled in, set up camp, spent the evening around the fire, and honestly thought I was the only person in the whole park. The next morning, I wandered for a walk and realized there were other campers around, but that’s how private and peaceful it felt.
The woods are absolutely beautiful, opening up to surrounding farmland that makes for some stunning photography. I kept my bird ID app open throughout my stay and was thrilled to record a number of new species.
This campground is the perfect way to get off the beaten path and experience something different from the average provincial park. Quiet, scenic, and full of character — I’ll definitely be back.

We had such a wonderful experience at this private campsite! From the moment we arrived, everything was peaceful, clean, and well taken care of. The site felt private and tucked away, giving us the perfect mix of relaxation and nature. The hosts were quick to answer any questions we had, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The grounds were spacious and quiet, with lots of room to set up comfortably. We especially love the sunset view in the evening and how they put a swing on a tree for kids to enjoy! You can tell the owners put a lot of thought into creating a comfortable, safe, and family-friendly space.
If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway where you can enjoy nature without the crowds, this is the place to be. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone who wants a private camping experience.

We had a great time camping on Angela & Erik’s property. Our corgi has never been able to go off leash at a campground before and she had an amazing time zooming around our site and touring the area. The campsites are well maintained, set up well, and my partner loved the fire stick that was provided so much I may have to figure out how to make one 😂
For folks who are used to camping at KOAs or conservation area campgrounds, this may be a bit “back woods” for them. The only things we noticed were that the campsite isn’t necessarily as private as the other reviews make it out to be, especially since it’s preferred that you pee outside (there were a couple of times I think I locked eyes with someone in another site while squatting, LOL) and the composting toilet takes some getting used to as far as the smell (which is to be expected).
Quick drive to both Turkey Point and Long Point beaches but quite far from anything larger than a convenience store (about a 25 minute drive to the grocery store in Delhi). Appreciated being able to prepay for wood and have it ready at our site as well. We had a couple of beach days and a couple of camp days and we would definitely recommend this spot for anyone looking to disconnect while still being somewhat close to civilization.

Great little spot to stay for a couple nights. It was my 4 year old daughter’s first camping trip and she had a blast. Very calm, well kept and safe environment. Only a few minutes away from long point and a number of little shops and restaurants near by.
