Winter has added costs due to snow plow. Snow plow cost varies from $50 - $250 depending on how much snow there is. The laneway is 1000 meters long. 1 kilometre. If the snow plow can't get in, you will be required to hike in through the snow. Potentially, a neighbour can be hired with his snowmobile. No guarantees. All wheel drive and winter tires is strongly advised. Unique and secluded, this cabin is a true gem in the heart of nature. It features 3 bedrooms, a dining area, kitchen, bathroom, and woodstove. We also have high-speed wifi on site! The cabin is perfect for a family looking to get away from it all. You will be able to enjoy all that nature has to offer from the cabin's central location. Hiking trails, beaches, wildlife, and snowshoeing are just a few of the activities located nearby. NOT SUITED FOR LARGE GROUPS.

You will also be able to enjoy all the beauty of nature during the summer months with hiking trails, beaches, kayaking, and more! The cabin is located along the Saugeen River, just north of 700 acres of managed trails in Bruce County, Ontario. Our property is 85-acres (40 acres is farmed). We are only 20-minutes from beaches and world-class sunsets in Port Elgin, Saugeen Shores, and Southampton.  WINTER: Ski-In-Ski-Out. Road access is limited for extreme seclusion!

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.

Kincardine camping guide

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.
