The best river, stream, or creek camping near Kincardine

·

Set up camp along the rivers of Kincardine, where over 140 sites put water at your doorstep. Pack your rod—fishing here pulls in trout and bass, and riverbanks buzz with birdlife.

Camps like Everhill Farm (190 reviews), Edges Sideroad Springs (187 reviews), and Beaver Ranch (98 reviews) keep regulars coming back with easy river access and wide-open woods. snow sports take over in winter—think snowshoeing and fresh tracks at dawn. Prices average $75 a night, but you’ll find spots as low as $25. Bring layers; riverside breezes keep things crisp even in July.

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. 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!
