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.

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!

Welcome to Laurenwood Farm!
New for 2024: Due to health reasons the farm is fallow this season. It is still a quiet, peaceful escape to the country and you can enjoy all of the amenities but there will be no veggie boxes this season and there are fewer animals to visit. We do have some items available such as honey and syrup.
The farm is a 100-acre working livestock and organic mixed produce farm with picturesque views, miles of wooded trails, and a beautiful little fish pond. Fresh organic veggies and farm-fresh eggs are available seasonally. Guests are welcome to wander the trails, check out the pond and gardens, and have a guided tour to experience meeting the animals. Nearby are several conservation areas and access to the Bruce Trail. Walking, biking or horseback riding is very pleasant on the quiet country roads around. There are many local fairs and festivals in the surrounding villages, such as the Beeton Honey Festival and Tottenham Bluegrass Festival.
We have three different listings, a cottage, a barn loft, and a tent/RV site. We look forward to hosting you!

We purchased this farm in 1998 from the previous farmer who had owned it since 1929. The train line ran right by the gate where the Kota hut now sits and would drop cattle right there to be finished and sold later at the Toronto Stockyards. Our barn was built in 1890 with the old farmhouse located across the creek. Two creeks meet the Grand River on our farm. The bunkie is situated north of the barn and faces Willow creek. During the summer the creek gets quite shallow but there are a couple of pools that work nicely for a float with our river tubes. The river also has a small swimming hole. The bunkie is nestled between 2 hills which creates a natural little valley. Campers can take a walk around the property or use the nearby long walking trail. New this spring, campers will be able to enjoy the firewood sauna, located close to the bunkie and nestled in a private spot near the creek.

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!

Welcome to Laurenwood Farm!
New for 2024: Due to health reasons the farm is fallow this season. It is still a quiet, peaceful escape to the country and you can enjoy all of the amenities but there will be no veggie boxes this season and there are fewer animals to visit. We do have some items available such as honey and syrup.
The farm is a 100-acre working livestock and organic mixed produce farm with picturesque views, miles of wooded trails, and a beautiful little fish pond. Fresh organic veggies and farm-fresh eggs are available seasonally. Guests are welcome to wander the trails, check out the pond and gardens, and have a guided tour to experience meeting the animals. Nearby are several conservation areas and access to the Bruce Trail. Walking, biking or horseback riding is very pleasant on the quiet country roads around. There are many local fairs and festivals in the surrounding villages, such as the Beeton Honey Festival and Tottenham Bluegrass Festival.
We have three different listings, a cottage, a barn loft, and a tent/RV site. We look forward to hosting you!

We purchased this farm in 1998 from the previous farmer who had owned it since 1929. The train line ran right by the gate where the Kota hut now sits and would drop cattle right there to be finished and sold later at the Toronto Stockyards. Our barn was built in 1890 with the old farmhouse located across the creek. Two creeks meet the Grand River on our farm. The bunkie is situated north of the barn and faces Willow creek. During the summer the creek gets quite shallow but there are a couple of pools that work nicely for a float with our river tubes. The river also has a small swimming hole. The bunkie is nestled between 2 hills which creates a natural little valley. Campers can take a walk around the property or use the nearby long walking trail. New this spring, campers will be able to enjoy the firewood sauna, located close to the bunkie and nestled in a private spot near the creek.

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!! ❤️

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

We were so happy with the site, it ended up being the perfect spot for our winter adventure, and had the forested experience we were looking for. It was a bit of a walk to the site on the trail from where the car was parked, but definitely worth the short 1-2 minute hike to get that proper secluded in the woods vibe that we wanted. The site features a water's edge and peaceful stream.. it was beautiful. Susan and Brent were incredible hosts and brought some of our supplies in on their ATV which was very cool of them. They were very communicative an accommodating, too. We loved the property and would absolutely camp here again. Thank you!

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!

I’ve been camping a lot over the past year, and Edges Sideroad Springs has become something truly special to me. After more than 30 stays here, I can honestly say this place feels like a second home. From my very first visit, both the land and the hosts just felt right.
Brent and Susan are genuinely kind, welcoming people. Brent often stops by just to say hi and make sure everything is good, and it never feels forced—just friendly and thoughtful.
Each site has its own character, but Bubbling Spring is something else entirely. Nestled deep in the forest with the river flowing beside it and natural spring water bubbling out of the earth, it’s incredibly peaceful. You hear birds, small animals, and nothing else. No noise, no rush—just calm.
This isn’t just a campsite for me. It’s a place I truly miss when I’m away, a safe haven I return to whenever I need to reset.

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.
