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

The Chickadee Cabin.

4. Chickadee Cabin

78km from Muskoka · 1 site · Lodging · Kearney, ON
The Chickadee Cabin is totally off-grid. No electricity. No indoor running water. No internet. The cabin is an on-going project however it's nicely equipped for a comfortable and relaxing stay for adventure seekers and peace/quiet loving enthusiasts that don't mind roughing it just a little. The cabin has x3 propane lights for lighting (x2 in the kitchen area, x1 in the downstairs bedroom). I also have an assortment of quality led rechargeable lamps for lighting the upstairs bedroom. There is a full solar system planned for spring/summer 2026 but in the meantime, I also have a collection of battery operated devices that make the cabin feel almost as good as having electricity. I have a Bluetti ac70 power station that can power and charge any low-draw (ipads, cellphones, portable dvd players, ac lamps, Nintendo switch etc), device for a lengthy amount of time. The cabin also has an am/fm radio that gets several clear stations. There is a 16" portable dvd player with a decent collection of classic movies. The cabin is heated with a woodstove and I provide all the firewood for heating inside (I kindly ask guests to bring their own bagged firewood if they intend on using the outdoor firepit. Bagged firewood is sold at any of the local general stores). For cooking there is a propane stove with x4 top burners and an oven. The kitchen is stocked with the usual fare (utensils, pots/pans, plates/bowls etc). Thete is no fridge yet (coming with solar system), but I provide a cooler for keeping food cold (it is currently winter and it is easier to keep for cold right now as frozen items can be kept outside etc). There is an outdoor outhouse for a toilet as well. The cabin is located at the back of a roughly 300 foot laneway. Access in the winter is via snowshoeing (I have many pairs of snowshoes to lend guests), and/or simply walking in (a hard packed trail is not long to form and snowshoes are often not needed). I also have a toboggan to lend guests for hauling in their gear. A parking space is provided for guests at the beginning of the laneway, off the road. The hike in takes only a couple minutes and anyone of reasonable fitness will have no trouble making the short trip in. ***This is a general summary but please ask any questions you may have***

Sparrow Lake Camp is situated on the southernmost tip of the majestic Canadian Shield.  The site is known to have been a campground for bands of the Huron people prior to the European intrusion.  It is considered probable that Samuel de Champlain, the first European to explore Huronia, spent a night on this site in the 17th Century.In 1892, what would become the west side of the current property was sold by pioneer Captain Thomas Stanton to Toronto's renowned Massey family to act as their summer resort.  The resort sported the main lodge, dining room, and cottages and was only accessible by train and steamer. From the onset, the Masseys used the site as a summer retreat for the Young Men's Bible League of the Central Methodist Church. Today, the property is a thriving summer camp that also offers overnight tent stays with stunning lake views.
