Learn more about this land:
Rustic bunkie located on 2 acres, is nestled among the trees beside a small, crystal clear lake. With 700 ft of untouched shoreline, privacy is second to none. From this lake, you can access 3 other lakes by provided canoe/kayak without portage.
The site is 35 min. from Algonquin Park and 11 km from MKC, the world-famous white water paddling centre.
10x10 main floor with sleeping loft. Solar power provides lighting & a propane furnace for cool nights. Solar lights outside provide ambient lighting-may be turned off if preferred.
The call of the loons & the barred owl will be your lullaby as you drift off to sleep after a day of hiking, paddling, or swimming.
There is no running water, you will have to bring your own drinking water. You will need to bring everything you require for cooking, eating and washing dishes. There is no sink, stove, or BBQ on site. As the site is off-grid, there are no appliances.
There is a split log bench beside the self-contained fire pit. Please bring your own firewood, matches/lighter, and/or firestarter materials. Small fires only please, as this is a well-treed location. Fires must be extinguished prior to going to bed — there is a bucket by the firepit.
If you are wondering if something is there, I suggest you reach out to check with me before arrival.
There is a new private outhouse on site. The outhouse is past the bunkie along the path. Solar lights work with the flick of a switch — one switch by the door, one by the bed.
You have access to 2 kayaks and 1 canoe, 2 adult lifejackets. These are located on the waterfront between the bunkie and the house @260 Matcheski Road. Please return these as you found them after each use. They are shared with the guests at the house. It is a natural shoreline at the bunkie, with a sandy bottom — pretty good swimming, actually! Absolutely no harsh chemicals/detergents in the water!
Please leave the site tidy and as you found it. Take your garbage and recycling. This is a small lakeside community — no loud music, please. Respect the solitude!
Please respect the natural setting — leave it as you found it, do not cut live growth.

We loved this place so much! The overlooking patio, dock and beautiful swimming lake were the best. All the amenities made camping that much more convenient. If felt very private and so nice for the dog to be free to roam off leash for our stay. I was concerned a bit about proximity to the road, but it really was not an issue for us. We hope we can come back next year!

It’s a beautiful campground with a spectacular sandy beach. Our site was right beside the playground, washrooms and showers. It was a great spot if you have kids, but if you want quiet, there were many other spots. We didn’t mind hearing the kids playing and having fun. It’s a very well run campsite and aside from the beach, they also have hiking trails. They really have thought of everything to make the stay enjoyable. I will definitely go back.

We absolutely loved camping at Six Waterfalls. The campsite was large and felt private. The waterfalls were incredible!! Hearing the waterfalls and then seeing them as you emerge from the trail in the bush was like you discovered them on your own. Magical! Thank you Annie for sharing your beautiful land. We also walked every night around the area using the roadway along the lake admiring all the cottages and the beautiful views. Best combination of a little adventure and relaxation. Highly recommend.

My two kids and I stayed in the Princeton, and it was absolutely perfect! Everything we needed was provided. It was very clean and comfortable and the forest setting was so beautiful and peaceful. We really enjoyed our evening camp fires, swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, and cycling. They also have peddle cars which both of my boys (5 and 10) loved. Chris and Cathy were so kind and welcoming and very quick to respond to any questions or requests. Chris even took the time to show the boys how to catch and hold the chickens in their coop! We can’t wait to go back and spend more time there as a family.

We love that spot. The water is amazing, clear and no weeds. It is a very private spot with lots of room to play and relax.
A real gem at Otter lake. The tent is very roomy and the mattress is really good.
Our dog was also happy with so
much space to run free. There is quite a bit of board games to play with as well as aquatic stuff, kayaks and so on. There is even a fan in the tent for the hot nights.
I cant have enough of your “peace of heaven”Monique.

Where to go
Algonquin Provincial Park
Bears, moose, loons—spot native wildlife when traversing the extensive trail system through Algonquin Provincial Park. Covering 7,000 square kilometres of dense forest with over 1,000 lakes, Algonquin Park is packed with epic views and plenty of tent camping or canoe portage routes. Check out the picturesque waterfall at High Falls Park, and stop by the picnic tables for a midday snack before jumping in for a swim.
Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park
Although Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park is smaller and lesser-known than the iconic Algonquin Provincial Park, it features the same lush deciduous forests and refreshing lakes. There’s no visitor center here, and the area is not as well-serviced (offering tent camping only and no RV parks or car campsites), but that’s a plus for those looking to avoid crowds.
Bonnechere Provincial Park
Settle into the sandy beach of Round Lake to enjoy the best of what Bonnechere Provincial Park has to offer. Set in Renfrew County, Ontario, this recreational gem offers over 100 campsites along with a shower station and playground. Both kayak and paddleboard rentals are available for exploring the expansive waters (just remember a lifejacket).
Petawawa
History lovers and military buffs will especially appreciate a pit stop in Petawawa. This small township hosts a Canadian Army base for combat troops, and strolls through Heritage Village provide a first-hand experience of life as an early settler. Other recreational activities include a sprawling 18-hole golf course, waterfront beaches, and a full-service marina.
When to go
Head to Pembroke in the fall for stunning colors and a cycling tour—the best way to maximize your views of the changing leaves. Winter descends from early November through March, so bring lots of layers and waterproof clothing. Heavy-duty winter boots are vital for outdoor activities throughout December, January, and February. The off-season in springtime (April and May) is less busy, then summer season ramps up in June, July, and August.
