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

Tolkien readers will know the Grey Havens. The final chapter of the Rings trilogy is about going to "The Grey Havens" the last of the havens of the Elves on Middle Earth.
We embrace Tolkien's imagination. Readers and writers especially like our lakefront property. We especially encourage writers and readers looking for a retreat. We do our best to facilitate relaxation and inspiration.
Each space has a unique small Library and try our public Little Free Library. We have quiet, segregated spaces inside or outside for writing or reading.
Our lake is flushed with cool underground water: a small naturally special kettle, source of the Styx River (of mythology too). Fill your days with water recreation activities: swimming, fishing, kayaking, canoeing. We have a free boat launch for your watercraft.
Lots of County Forest or Bruce Trailhead hiking opportunities nearby.
We have the following Free amenities:
Car parking (1 vehicle/site); Motorcycle friendly parking pads for touring riders
Wireless access
Spacious outdoor Privy and Wash House
Dock and canoe/kayak launch (for your own canoes/kayaks)
Patio/deck (20'x25') with fire circle, chairs and tables (burn only locally sourced wood-see our Extras)
We also have convenient "Extras"
"Firewood Bundle" ($25) for any open fires to cook or watch
"Failsafe fire starter kit" (5$) for 12 starters
"Butane Cook Stove" ($25) for camp stove cooking
"Hip Camper Workshop" ($60) patient instruction on safely starting a campfire, one fire setup demonstration and includes a Firewood Bundle and a Failsafe fire starter kit. Required for all First Time/Novice Hip Campers (zero Hip Camp trips) to avoid dangerous fire starting nightmares (for the host) like last year.
"Townsend Lake Cruise" ($30) learn about the natural history of lake on our unique eVessel, Swizzle Styx with the host as captain.
"Gear Wagon" ($10) to transport your luggage, tents, gear and/or coolers from the car to the site (and out again also).
Grey Havens is waste wise: remove your garbage and cleanup your Cabin to get a cleaning refund on your booking.
Hip Campers may wonder about the whale bench seen in many of our photographs. Ask your host about the story of our Whale Bench.

Tolkien readers will know the Grey Havens. The final chapter of the Rings trilogy is about going to "The Grey Havens" the last of the havens of the Elves on Middle Earth.
We embrace Tolkien's imagination. Readers and writers especially like our lakefront property. We especially encourage writers and readers looking for a retreat. We do our best to facilitate relaxation and inspiration.
Each space has a unique small Library and try our public Little Free Library. We have quiet, segregated spaces inside or outside for writing or reading.
Our lake is flushed with cool underground water: a small naturally special kettle, source of the Styx River (of mythology too). Fill your days with water recreation activities: swimming, fishing, kayaking, canoeing. We have a free boat launch for your watercraft.
Lots of County Forest or Bruce Trailhead hiking opportunities nearby.
We have the following Free amenities:
Car parking (1 vehicle/site); Motorcycle friendly parking pads for touring riders
Wireless access
Spacious outdoor Privy and Wash House
Dock and canoe/kayak launch (for your own canoes/kayaks)
Patio/deck (20'x25') with fire circle, chairs and tables (burn only locally sourced wood-see our Extras)
We also have convenient "Extras"
"Firewood Bundle" ($25) for any open fires to cook or watch
"Failsafe fire starter kit" (5$) for 12 starters
"Butane Cook Stove" ($25) for camp stove cooking
"Hip Camper Workshop" ($60) patient instruction on safely starting a campfire, one fire setup demonstration and includes a Firewood Bundle and a Failsafe fire starter kit. Required for all First Time/Novice Hip Campers (zero Hip Camp trips) to avoid dangerous fire starting nightmares (for the host) like last year.
"Townsend Lake Cruise" ($30) learn about the natural history of lake on our unique eVessel, Swizzle Styx with the host as captain.
"Gear Wagon" ($10) to transport your luggage, tents, gear and/or coolers from the car to the site (and out again also).
Grey Havens is waste wise: remove your garbage and cleanup your Cabin to get a cleaning refund on your booking.
Hip Campers may wonder about the whale bench seen in many of our photographs. Ask your host about the story of our Whale Bench.

Heavens Acres has been a stop over since the 1850's for people travelling by horse from Toronto to Owen Sound.
We have 100 acres surrounded by another 200 acres of conservation land.
There is camping in the pine forest as well at the very back of the property where you will find a hardwood bush with trails.
Please note that the hipcamp map shows a large body of water on the property, as does google driving maps.
It is a marsh, not a lake.
Google Earth shows it better.
There is however, a creek and pond, but don't bring your boat. :)
This is a "LEAVE NO TRACE" campsite, so please take all garbage when you leave.
There is no water or power, but there is an outhouse
Please note that in the winter months. There’s a $25 surcharge.
This is required for snow removal to access the sites that are at at least 1 km into the bush.
We are in a snow belt area and it is very difficult to keep the sites open in the winter.
Four-wheel-drive is required for access in the winter!

The space and property are so beautiful, the trails are very well maintained and Susan and Brent are super friendly and awesome! They gifted me some honey from the bees they keep and it was delicious.
I was very warm and cozy at night during my stay. The land is huge and I had such a fun time snowshoeing and walking around. There are lots of birdwatching spots, especially by the water. I will definitely be back again when the weather is warmer. I highly recommend staying here, I'm sure you'll love it as much as I did!

This was such an amazing experience. We brought our little baby in -25 and it was so cozy in the cabin!! The property is absolutely gorgeous, amazing trails to explore. The hosts are so incredible and attentive. Our propane ran out our second night and Susan answered me within 1 minute and came out to replace it immediately! The wood for 15$ is a steal! We will 100% be coming back. Absolutely incredible. Thank you for having us!! ❤️

Weekend Trip to Pine the Sky
This was an amazing stay. First, it was extremely last minute as we booked it 15 minutes before showing up. Despite that, Joan was very accommodating and set us up right away. It was a nice basement unit with everything we needed included heated floors in the bathroom. The property itself was also beautiful - though we didn’t see a lot of since it was winter. Overall Joan was a great host - friendly and responsive. Highly recommend

Second time here in winter, and Susan and Brent's land is so enchanting! The A-frame was cozy. I did bring piles and piles of fleece blankets this time to keep off the chill :) but their propane heater works wonders. The second night was clear skies and a stunning moon to bbq by the light of. My dog loved running along the trails left by their ATV. I cannot recommend this place enough. The hosts are so friendly and helpful. I will definitely have to visit in the summer. Thank you!

3 nights at Pinehaven Camping And Cabin
We loved our winter stay at Natalie’s cabin. There was plenty of snowfall but barely any wind making for breathtaking scenery. Parking was cleared of snow as well as pathways to the cabin and the outhouse. The cabin was the perfect size for a couple like us and warmed up quickly with the wood stove. We requested additional firewood and it was delivered promptly and was a generous amount for the price. Overall the stay was incredibly peaceful and quiet, very few cars on the road to the property. While the cabin is close to the road it is tucked nicely back and is still very private. We would absolutely stay again if we have the chance.

Excellent stay for a romantic getaway. If you think a wood burning sauna big enough for 4, a shower big enough for a table and bench, and a hot tub just outside your door makes for a perfect getaway, this is your place. The fridge was big enough for a three night stay, unlimited firewood, and all the oils, lotions and scents one could ask for. Truly a great place to be with the one you love, and your dogo. Could there have been a table inside for us nerds to puzzle on? Sure. But the floor works too. Would go back.

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.
