The trail to the outhouse

17. The Naked Mitrewort

56km from Rideau Lakes · 1 site · Tent · Ompah, ON
Learn more about this land:Welcome to The Naked Mitrewort! The site is located on the scrubby shores of North Frontenac's only Provincially Significant Wetland: Mud Lake. The wetland is part of Ontario's Mississippi River system, which stretches 200km from Mackavoy Lake to the Ottawa River. The wetland is a hotspot for biodiversity and indigenous history and is located just outside of the hamlet of Ardoch.This would be a great stopover site for a cyclist exploring North Frontenac's looping roads or for anyone who was unable to book a site at some of the more popular provincial parks like Bon Echo, Sharbot and Silver Lakes, or Frontenac. The terrain between the water and campsite is low, moist and scrubby with many trees that have fallen as a result of a big storm a few years ago. I just bought this property in Oct. 2020 and have done very few improvements since then (I have exciting things planned though!). There is an outhouse for your bathroom needs as well as a little platform near the water, but there isn't a clear path to the water yet, so tread carefully. The platform (and outhouse actually...) is on its way to being rotten, but it's good enough for a few chairs, but not a tent.  There is also a little swimming hole on the nearby crown land which would require swimming shoes or socks (sharp rocks), but it's a pretty neat place to snorkel as there is still evidence of the river's logging legacy. This spot is even more difficult to access but I will make a path eventually. The site is a little close to the road, so you will hear occasional vehicles driving by as well as other human activities in the distance, but it is generally a very peaceful location. You will have to forage for firewood, but there is no shortage of it as you will see. Keep fires small and, although it is very satisfying, please don't push over rotten snags (dead standing trees), these are important for woodpeckers and other creatures! Same with flowers, let's just take pictures and not pick them, some may not grow back! As you can see, I have a lot of work ahead of me making paths, clearing the view, etc. If you have chainsaw experience (or, even better, sawmill! or both!) and want to clear some deadfall in exchange for a spot to camp or park your RV (no hookup) for a weekend or week, send me a message and we can discuss possibilities. It doesn't always have to be cold hard cash. I am open to any ideas that would fit into this sort of description.Because this is still such a rustic site, I am offering you complimentary day passes to Lancaster's Resort on Mississagagon Lake. Here you will have access to the shower, washrooms, beach, trails, wifi, boat launch, kayak and canoe rentals ($25 per vessel per day) and more. Parking is at the lodge, just provide me with your licence plate number and that'll be all you need to enjoy the resort's amenities.There is a public boat launch for the Mississippi River right at the bridge - 4 mins drive heading northeast on River Rd. - limited parking.And in case you are wondering, The Naked Mitrewort takes its name from Mitella nuda, a tiny unassuming perennial plant found in wet riparian forests throughout Canada and the US and is abundant around the property.I look forward to hosting you!

The trail to the outhouse

17. The Naked Mitrewort

56km from Rideau Lakes · 1 site · Tent · Ompah, ON
Learn more about this land:Welcome to The Naked Mitrewort! The site is located on the scrubby shores of North Frontenac's only Provincially Significant Wetland: Mud Lake. The wetland is part of Ontario's Mississippi River system, which stretches 200km from Mackavoy Lake to the Ottawa River. The wetland is a hotspot for biodiversity and indigenous history and is located just outside of the hamlet of Ardoch.This would be a great stopover site for a cyclist exploring North Frontenac's looping roads or for anyone who was unable to book a site at some of the more popular provincial parks like Bon Echo, Sharbot and Silver Lakes, or Frontenac. The terrain between the water and campsite is low, moist and scrubby with many trees that have fallen as a result of a big storm a few years ago. I just bought this property in Oct. 2020 and have done very few improvements since then (I have exciting things planned though!). There is an outhouse for your bathroom needs as well as a little platform near the water, but there isn't a clear path to the water yet, so tread carefully. The platform (and outhouse actually...) is on its way to being rotten, but it's good enough for a few chairs, but not a tent.  There is also a little swimming hole on the nearby crown land which would require swimming shoes or socks (sharp rocks), but it's a pretty neat place to snorkel as there is still evidence of the river's logging legacy. This spot is even more difficult to access but I will make a path eventually. The site is a little close to the road, so you will hear occasional vehicles driving by as well as other human activities in the distance, but it is generally a very peaceful location. You will have to forage for firewood, but there is no shortage of it as you will see. Keep fires small and, although it is very satisfying, please don't push over rotten snags (dead standing trees), these are important for woodpeckers and other creatures! Same with flowers, let's just take pictures and not pick them, some may not grow back! As you can see, I have a lot of work ahead of me making paths, clearing the view, etc. If you have chainsaw experience (or, even better, sawmill! or both!) and want to clear some deadfall in exchange for a spot to camp or park your RV (no hookup) for a weekend or week, send me a message and we can discuss possibilities. It doesn't always have to be cold hard cash. I am open to any ideas that would fit into this sort of description.Because this is still such a rustic site, I am offering you complimentary day passes to Lancaster's Resort on Mississagagon Lake. Here you will have access to the shower, washrooms, beach, trails, wifi, boat launch, kayak and canoe rentals ($25 per vessel per day) and more. Parking is at the lodge, just provide me with your licence plate number and that'll be all you need to enjoy the resort's amenities.There is a public boat launch for the Mississippi River right at the bridge - 4 mins drive heading northeast on River Rd. - limited parking.And in case you are wondering, The Naked Mitrewort takes its name from Mitella nuda, a tiny unassuming perennial plant found in wet riparian forests throughout Canada and the US and is abundant around the property.I look forward to hosting you!

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.

What an amazing property! The site was exactly as described. We needed for nothing. Victor brought by brand new camp chairs for us and sweetly asked, "Can I come in?" when he arrived at the site with them. We loved the trails. We spotted a porcupine, a deer, an owl, heard raccoons, beavers and countless frogs and birds. We will be returning!

My husband and I came here for our first wedding anniversary. We had an amazing time! Choleena and Larry were the perfect hosts- super helpful, non-intrusive and even told us we could check out at anytime on our last day. The cabin was also great, very clean and well taken care of. Super close to Perth which is a very charming town. We would certainly love to return!

Wonderful tent camping site. Victor has gone above and beyond most other campsite operators providing a lovely wooded campsite with an elevated tent platform, great firepit, firewood as well as fire starter and kindling, potable water, propane bbq, screened dining tent, countertop for food prep, all in a private woodland setting yet within walking distance to hot shower and flush toilet. Highly recommend!

Amazingly private. There's a rec centre and rental cottage also on the property but out of sight and ear shot of the campsite. Convenient bathroom with a shower at the rec centre within a 1-2 min. walk. Victor was a great host and provided everything we needed. Had a fun paddle boat ride on the lake and loved hiking the long private trails. Some sections of the trails are tricky. Looking forward to spending a week there next summer.

We had a lovely time at bon echo tiny village. It's our first time here with our RV camper. The site was nice and clean and the facilities are well maintained. We were at site 44, which is in the forest lane. It was only a min walk from the office, washroom and pool. The staff was so friendly and lovely. We're about 5 min walk from the dock and had a great time kayaking!

We loved tent camping at this location. Paul and Victor were very kind and helpful. The amenities are more than enough for camping. Everything was perfect. Thank you!

Weekend Trip to Forest Bunkie & Yogazebo
The best part of this site was how hospitable Jo & Chris were, they checked in a few times to make sure that we had everything we needed throughout our stay. The site itself was beautiful and the bunkie had everything we needed for the perfect off grid camping experience, especially the five star poop house. We also quite enjoyed getting to run around with their very cute and friendly dogs!

It was close enough to washrooms and other amenities while still remaining private and like you were in the wilderness. Staff were excellent and attentive to any questions. Canoeing down the river was nice because you don’t run into other watercraft, and scenic with nice wildlife. Great walking paths through the forest and up past the waterfall. Would recommend for families with kids. Site 49, “private” tent site is nice for being out of the view of any other site.

My partner and I stayed one night and were surprised by the quality of the campsite and amenities were. Victor and Paul were very kind and welcoming. It was beyond our expectations and we are definitely coming back, hopefully for longer than one night.

Site is just as described. Big quiet land. Restrooms are clean and lots of shelter from the rain. We could fill up our water bottles.

Weekend Trip to Glamping - Intimate Cabin & Campsites
This weekend was absolutely one of the most enjoyable weekends of my summer. It was so nice to unplug, Choleena & Larry ordered and set up an alternative to being able to have a fire during the ban, which was amazing, and it was so private and peaceful. I feel very refreshed and we certainly discussed coming back in the winter to further enjoy what the land has to offer. Not the mention the hosts are very thoughtful and ready to help. Thank you and cannot wait to return!

This was our third time here this season and we love it so much we booked another trip next month! Sitting by the river with our coffee and a book has become our new favourite way to unwind after a busy week. Our kids love being able to swim and paddle board right off the site, and they are still in direct sight line! Plenty of space to set up multiple tents, and the dining shelter came in handy on a wet morning. Tons of shade but some sunny spots, too, ideal mix of spaces. There is a bit of poison ivy around the edges of the site so take a peek around to make sure you know where it is. This has quickly become our favourite family get away and we will be coming back again and again!

Tiny village echo lake camping site is a lovely place to camp. First time camping experience and it was perfect . The site is private and easy to navigate. Barely any mosquitos. There is a nice pool, and showers. The main office lake and all accommodations are only a 5 min walk away from the camp sites . The management is very helpful and was only a call away answer any questions. Paddle boats and canoes are also available to take out onto the lake . 5/5 experience overall. Will defiantly be back!
