A great, quiet, private, and spacious place. Bob and Trish made us feel very welcome and helped us find the perfect spot for our short stay. They brought us wood and a small fire pit for a campfire in the evening. This is a place we recommend to everyone without hesitation.

Lisa's property was amazing! Lots of room, beautiful view of everything. Saw deer every day! Loved the outhouse, we are used to privies at Algonquin but the outhouse was way better - especially with the rain we had. She was great with communication and even checked to make sure we were ok after a big gusty windy rainy period of time. We will definitely be back! Thanks so much Lisa.

This was one of our favourite Hipcamps. The lake was busier than we are used to but it was a long weekend so totally expected. We appreciated the private feel of the campsite being nestled in our little corner and we customized the site with tarp shelters and a hammock to lay about in the afternoons. The night sky was gorgeous with the moon and the sound of waves to keep us company. One should keep in mind that there are elevation changes at the site that could prove challenging for some. I was able to portage our canoe down to the water and back up to our vehicle but the pitch through the trees and down to the beach could prove tricky. Overall, we liked the secluded, civilized-rustic feel of the space: not Crown Land but sounds of the forest gave it a wild feel.

Lisa was super friendly, communicative, responsive and welcoming before and during our stay! The site and surrounding fields, forest and lake were spectacular and we had the entire grounds to ourselves. Couldn’t have made a better first impression and the site was beyond our expectations. Will highly recommend to others in the future.

We had a really good time camping here. There's another site but it's not close enough that you can hear or see them. We enjoyed being able to take our kayaks out into the lake although we didn't catch a single fish or even see life in the lake.

My third year visiting! The view of the rolling hills and private water front never gets old. Great value, great privacy.

The views are spectacular any time of day!!! Lisa is a friendly, flexible host who took the time to take the children to visit the cows and their guard donkey.
You can enjoy the gorgeous water especially if you throw in a kayak to skirt over the weeds and algae, that are bursting with freshwater mussels, btw!
We did this and enjoyed a successful evening of fishing, swimming and paddling!
The set up is perfect! Even the outhouse comes with a view and is interesting condition!

We absolutely loved it! The site is on a slight downhill, so a bit of shifting around was needed, but it’s such a beautiful camping spot—private, peaceful, and surrounded by nature.
Ps.
Big perk— toilet available!

Lisa was a great host and checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. The site was in a great location on a lake and far enough from the other campsite that it felt private. The picnic table and outhouse on site were nice to have.

Loved camping at Coutts Farm. Watching the deer and turkey wander the fields. Feels super secluded only 2 camp sites. The one next to me was hidden by a hill feels like no one is around. Farmland in front lake close behind. My dog loved the freedom of the country and swimming in the lake. Very peaceful. Highly recommend.

We were on site #1 for a week. We were joined by 2 more couples with a large fifth wheel & a tent trailer. We were in a 24ft trailer and we had more than enough space for us all. We had more than enough sun for our solar panels to generate electricity for our units. This was a perfect spot to hang out, use the water/beach front. Water is warm but weedy, (the whole lake is) but once you paddled out it was good for swimming.We met Lisa when we arrived and got the lay of the land.
You are definitely in the middle of nowhere, which is what we were all looking for. We are already thinking about next year’s visit.

A lovely place to stay. We received a friendly welcome from the owner and were able to choose our pitch.
The owner was very helpful in helping us plan our trip to Toronto, printing out maps so we could visit the beautiful places in Toronto. A truly beautiful place with a warm welcome.

Me and 4 buddies stay at this camp site.
Very easy getting to the site, there’s a lot of room for setting up tents and the water and the private beach was great. We will definitely be going back.
Thanks Lisa!

The best private sites RV camping near Orillia guide
Where to go
Mara Provincial Park
Just 10 minutes’ drive outside Orillia, Mara Point features a beautiful, spacious beach that’s uncrowded during the week. More than 100 campsites offer both RV and tent camping, and all RV sites are set on one side of the campground away from tent campers. The designated beach swimming area is open from mid-June through Labour Day (the first Monday in September).
Highway 11
Campers traveling north from Barrie along Highway 11 will find welcoming family campgrounds right off the highway, some with swimming pools, hot tubs, or playgrounds. Most campgrounds have both RV and tent camping sites, plus outdoor facilities.
Black River
East of Lake Couchiching on Simcoe County Road 169, Black River Wilderness Park is off the beaten path and away from the bustle of Lake Simcoe. There are lots of choices for campers here, ranging from a no-frills tent site to an RV site, a rustic cabin, a tipi, or a yurt.
When to go
Most campgrounds are open from May through October, and bookings outside that range may be hard to come by. Many private campgrounds rent campsites by the season to RV owners—commuter campers who live in Toronto and generally drive up on weekends. It might be hard to book short-term summer camping for this reason. But tent campers should be able to find midweek availability most of the time, while weekends will need to be booked in advance.
Know before you go
- Several parks and playgrounds around Orillia offer a variety of places for kids to play, and there’s a large, sandy beach on the shores of Lake Couchiching.
- You can drive across “the Narrows,” which connects Lake Simcoe to Lake Couchiching, which makes the eastern shores of both lakes easily accessible.
- Continue north on Highway 11 past Orillia for another 30 minutes and you’ll arrive at Lake Muskoka and Ontario’s premiere cottage region.
- Orillia is in Ontario’s snow belt and there are ski resorts nearby, the closest being Mt. St. Louis Moonstone. Unfortunately, most campgrounds are closed in winter.
