It was a short but sweet trip! Gillian and Jim are great hosts! The cabin is awesomely complete with lots of fun ready for family to use and enjoy! We are definitely going back this summer! We got a bit lost but it was our fault. We thought we are in Markdale but we were in Durham and so we misinterpreted the direction. Lol. But nevertheless, it was one of the fun part of adventure!

Common sense goes along way here at the plane cabin...
Brand new beautiful tiny house cabin with a plane surrounded by majestic trees and trails around the property. If the nights are cold you will need small pieces of wood for the stove. Bring your own blankets & pillows. As well as anything needed for cooking. We had a peaceful time during our stay.. although a cold 2 nights over March break.. it was a memory maker. Host was great and kept in contact. Would recommend to adults who can appreciate nature and surroundings.

This was my first hipcamp experience and I hate gotta say, it was amazing. Our host was super cool, he let us do our thing and if felt like we just had our own private gorgeous forest. The Plane is epic, the story of it is amazing, you can go watch a video I made about the history of the plane on YouTube, link below. This place really blew us away and we will certainly be going back. We even extended our stay an extra day.
It's peaceful, you can hear coyotes at night, and there's tons of room to explore. Definitely recommend for anyone, I brought my two kids, husband and my dog and the first night me, my 5 year old and my dog slept in the plane, it was awesome. Don't miss it on this place, it's so cool and so worth checking out. The Bunkie, no matter what season, is NOT COLD. Once you get that fire going in there, you gotta sleep with the windows open in February. It's that warm and nice.
I loved EVERYTHING about this place.
https://youtu.be/R72xXHzJTBw?si=f2IgKRZEHfKFvM6R. This is some background on this epic plane. In a travel vlogger so don't mind my craziness. I'm just quirky.
Go to this place, it's so quiet and nice.

We loved staying at the cozy yurt in the woods. Emily has thought of all of the basic needs, and when we had a bunch of rain, there were tons of games go play inside.
The wood stove keeps everything nice and toasty!
There is a beautiful river right behind the yurt making the experience even more enjoyable.
The outhouse was clean and fully stocked.
This place was perfect to destress and reset
Check it out! You won't be disappointed!

The space and property are so beautiful, the trails are very well maintained and Susan and Brent are super friendly and awesome! They gifted me some honey from the bees they keep and it was delicious.
I was very warm and cozy at night during my stay. The land is huge and I had such a fun time snowshoeing and walking around. There are lots of birdwatching spots, especially by the water. I will definitely be back again when the weather is warmer. I highly recommend staying here, I'm sure you'll love it as much as I did!

This was such an amazing experience. We brought our little baby in -25 and it was so cozy in the cabin!! The property is absolutely gorgeous, amazing trails to explore. The hosts are so incredible and attentive. Our propane ran out our second night and Susan answered me within 1 minute and came out to replace it immediately! The wood for 15$ is a steal! We will 100% be coming back. Absolutely incredible. Thank you for having us!! ❤️

We were so happy with the site, it ended up being the perfect spot for our winter adventure, and had the forested experience we were looking for. It was a bit of a walk to the site on the trail from where the car was parked, but definitely worth the short 1-2 minute hike to get that proper secluded in the woods vibe that we wanted. The site features a water's edge and peaceful stream.. it was beautiful. Susan and Brent were incredible hosts and brought some of our supplies in on their ATV which was very cool of them. They were very communicative an accommodating, too. We loved the property and would absolutely camp here again. Thank you!

Second time here in winter, and Susan and Brent's land is so enchanting! The A-frame was cozy. I did bring piles and piles of fleece blankets this time to keep off the chill :) but their propane heater works wonders. The second night was clear skies and a stunning moon to bbq by the light of. My dog loved running along the trails left by their ATV. I cannot recommend this place enough. The hosts are so friendly and helpful. I will definitely have to visit in the summer. Thank you!

I’ve been camping a lot over the past year, and Edges Sideroad Springs has become something truly special to me. After more than 30 stays here, I can honestly say this place feels like a second home. From my very first visit, both the land and the hosts just felt right.
Brent and Susan are genuinely kind, welcoming people. Brent often stops by just to say hi and make sure everything is good, and it never feels forced—just friendly and thoughtful.
Each site has its own character, but Bubbling Spring is something else entirely. Nestled deep in the forest with the river flowing beside it and natural spring water bubbling out of the earth, it’s incredibly peaceful. You hear birds, small animals, and nothing else. No noise, no rush—just calm.
This isn’t just a campsite for me. It’s a place I truly miss when I’m away, a safe haven I return to whenever I need to reset.

3 nights at Pinehaven Camping And Cabin
We loved our winter stay at Natalie’s cabin. There was plenty of snowfall but barely any wind making for breathtaking scenery. Parking was cleared of snow as well as pathways to the cabin and the outhouse. The cabin was the perfect size for a couple like us and warmed up quickly with the wood stove. We requested additional firewood and it was delivered promptly and was a generous amount for the price. Overall the stay was incredibly peaceful and quiet, very few cars on the road to the property. While the cabin is close to the road it is tucked nicely back and is still very private. We would absolutely stay again if we have the chance.
