Relaxing Riverside Getaway, Peaceful Camping on the Water
Come camp right along the Saugeen River and enjoy a quieter, more private kind of camping experience. The property runs along the river, so you’re never far from the water, whether you want to swim, float, paddle, or just sit and listen to it.
There’s a calm, kid-friendly swimming spot on site and easy access to launch a canoe or go for a float down the river. It’s a great place to slow down, with mornings spent having coffee by the water and evenings around the fire, with plenty of space to just relax.
The campsite itself is a flat, comfortable spot suitable for tents, campers, or small RVs. You’ll have access to potable water, a simple toilet setup such as an outhouse or portable toilet, and a fire pit for cooking or evening fires.
This isn’t a busy campground. There’s plenty of space and privacy, so it’s ideal if you’re looking to unwind without being surrounded by other campers. Dogs are welcome and there is lots of room for them to roam.
You’re still within a short drive of nearby towns if you need supplies, but once you’re here, it feels tucked away.
If you’re looking for a simple, peaceful riverside stay with real access to the water, this is a good spot for it.

It was a short but sweet trip! Gillian and Jim are great hosts! The cabin is awesomely complete with lots of fun ready for family to use and enjoy! We are definitely going back this summer! We got a bit lost but it was our fault. We thought we are in Markdale but we were in Durham and so we misinterpreted the direction. Lol. But nevertheless, it was one of the fun part of adventure!

Common sense goes along way here at the plane cabin...
Brand new beautiful tiny house cabin with a plane surrounded by majestic trees and trails around the property. If the nights are cold you will need small pieces of wood for the stove. Bring your own blankets & pillows. As well as anything needed for cooking. We had a peaceful time during our stay.. although a cold 2 nights over March break.. it was a memory maker. Host was great and kept in contact. Would recommend to adults who can appreciate nature and surroundings.

This was my first hipcamp experience and I hate gotta say, it was amazing. Our host was super cool, he let us do our thing and if felt like we just had our own private gorgeous forest. The Plane is epic, the story of it is amazing, you can go watch a video I made about the history of the plane on YouTube, link below. This place really blew us away and we will certainly be going back. We even extended our stay an extra day.
It's peaceful, you can hear coyotes at night, and there's tons of room to explore. Definitely recommend for anyone, I brought my two kids, husband and my dog and the first night me, my 5 year old and my dog slept in the plane, it was awesome. Don't miss it on this place, it's so cool and so worth checking out. The Bunkie, no matter what season, is NOT COLD. Once you get that fire going in there, you gotta sleep with the windows open in February. It's that warm and nice.
I loved EVERYTHING about this place.
https://youtu.be/R72xXHzJTBw?si=f2IgKRZEHfKFvM6R. This is some background on this epic plane. In a travel vlogger so don't mind my craziness. I'm just quirky.
Go to this place, it's so quiet and nice.

Weekend Trip to Yurt at Paisley Mill
We loved staying at the cozy yurt in the woods. Emily has thought of all of the basic needs, and when we had a bunch of rain, there were tons of games go play inside.
The wood stove keeps everything nice and toasty!
There is a beautiful river right behind the yurt making the experience even more enjoyable.
The outhouse was clean and fully stocked.
This place was perfect to destress and reset
Check it out! You won't be disappointed!

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!! ❤️

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.

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.

Where to go
Inverhuron Provincial Park
Roughly a 20-minute drive from Kincardine, Inverhuron Provincial Park’s sandy beaches and clear Lake Huron waters are popular for refreshing swims or using the boat launch. Campers can also stroll along scenic hiking trails or fish in the lake's bountiful waters. On-site electrical and non-electrical campsites are suitable for tents and RVs with amenities such as washrooms with showers and flush toilets, plus a laundromat. Picnic areas also provide a delightful setting for family gatherings or a relaxing meal amidst nature.
Kincardine Harbour
At the mouth of the Penetangore River, Kincardine Harbour is a popular location year-round. With short, sandy beaches and cement piers that encourage relaxing, scenic walks, this harbour is the perfect spot to travel for a magnificent view of the waterfront. Just a short walk from Queen Street, it’s easy to daytrip to the impressive lighthouse and return to a campsite near town by nightfall.
MacGregor Point Provincial Park
About 30 kilometres south of Kincardine rests MacGregor Point Provincial Park, known for its picturesque coastal dunes, sandy beaches, and diverse ecosystems. With camping options for both tents and RVs, campers can immerse themselves in the beauty of the outdoors and enjoy the park’s washrooms, and picnic areas, too. Then, hike, birdwatch, canoe, and stargaze without ever leaving the park.
When to go
Comfortable temperatures and longer daylight hours occur from late spring to early fall in Kincardine. This is an ideal time for campers to explore parks, enjoy beaches, and engage in outdoor adventures—especially since peak tourist season is in the summer, where temperatures average between 20 to 30°C. Wintertime in Kincardine has colder temperatures, potential snowfall, and limited facilities, which can make it challenging to camp or hike.
