Escape to the Forest Hideaway, a charming off-grid tiny house with tiny wood stove, perfect for adventure! No need to disconnect - we’ve got WIFI! Make sure to enjoy the deck and nearby gazebo! Inside, you'll find your queen bed in the loft at the top of a ladder. The tiny house is surrounded by trees, and the interior has a platform couch and bench for seating, tiny wood stove, tiny kitchen, "shower" area for sponge bathing, and a composting toilet. (There is no running water or electricity). We are stocked with all bedding, towels, dishware, tea, coffee, and a French press! You'll find a BBQ and camp stove for cooking on the deck - there's no fridge, but a cooler with ice packs will be provided. Battery packs are here for charging cell phones and laptops (with USB-C and USB).

Consider this the most indoor camping experience you can have and still be out in the woods! You'll want to be comfortable with making a fire and keeping warm in the winter months! The tiny stove will keep you warm on the coldest winter days, but you have to keep it going. :) In the winter months, we'll get the stove started to warm everything before you arrive (and provide you with kindling and wood). When cleaning out the ashes in the stove (if necessary,) please use the metal pail outside and place the ash-filled pail back on the concrete blocks. Please note that there is no other heat source. Check out Mill Pond Conservation Area for great hiking about 15 minutes away! Maybe Rock Dunder Nature Reserve for hiking and AMAZING views? (30 minutes). Check out Rideau Ferry Beach (Yacht Club Conservation Area) for public swimming on Rideau Lake nearby the tiny house! Looking for bikes/kayaks/canoes? Try Rideau Tours at Chaffey's Locks, roughly 30 minutes away. No campfires (there is no clearing in the forest). No smoking please! :)

Weekend Trip to Forest Creek Farm

Camping on Paul's property for the night was breathtaking. Being able to camp in a quiet, secluded area backing onto a beautiful creek was exactly what I needed. Paul was super friendly and welcoming. He showed us where the site was and even offered the cabin for us to sleep in. Plenty of wood was provided. I highly recommend this place - it's perfect! I'm definitely going back again.

3 nights at Sheridan Rapids Kayaking/Lazy River

We stayed for 3 nights at this beautifully maintained site that had everything we needed: picnic table, fire pit, dock with chairs, and a paddle boat! The road wasn’t too busy, the area was quiet, and the water was the perfect temperature! It was a bit awkward fitting our 26ft trailer in through the trees but we made it work with where it was. We will definitely book again!

Birds eye view of only a part of the site.
Plenty of room for group camping.

Weekend Trip to Sheridan Rapids Kayaking/Lazy River

Camping close to Sheridan Rapids was alot of fun. Great swimming near the bridge. The lazy river float was super fun - if the water levels were a bit higher it woulda been perfect. Walk to the water was a bit longer than expected, but still less than 10 minutes along a quiet road. Ryan was responsive and helpful. Thanks again!

Weekend Trip to Sheridan Rapids Kayaking/Lazy River

My fiancé and I were looking for a weekend getaway and this was the most perfect spot. It’s easily accessible, private, and you have your own dock, pedal boat, fire pit, and picnic table waiting for you. It’s the most perfect way to spend a sunny and warm summer weekend. Close drive to small quaint towns such as Carleton Place and Lanark where we explored cute shops. Not to mention the firefly light show that surrounds the campsite each night! Host was extremely responsive and so kind. We just got back today and have already recommended it to friends!

Another peaceful stay at Ryan's property. This place makes camping what it should be, just you and nature. There is so much room and lots to explore. It's a beautiful spot. We always enjoy our stay at Ryan's. We will be back. Thanks Ryan.
