Welcome to Beautiful Field Farm, our family-run orchard and homestead tucked into the quiet forests of Naughton, Ontario. This is more than just a place to camp it’s a chance to slow down, breathe fresh air, and reconnect with nature in a peaceful farm setting.
We’ve created a mix of secluded forest tent clearings and private RV pads, each surrounded by trees for privacy and space. This is primitive, off-grid camping no hookups, no running water, and no electricity just the essentials and the stars overhead. For your comfort, we’ve built a brand-new farm outhouse, kept clean and simple.
Our guests love to spend time at the farm’s private pond, a half-acre oasis tucked at the back of the property. There are multiple hammocks set up around the water, perfect for reading, napping, or watching the dragonflies dance across the surface. On warm days, bring your chair or blanket and relax by the pond’s edge, or wander the orchard trails and forest paths that weave across the land.
In season, you’ll find life on the farm buzzing with energy fruit trees heavy with apples, bees working the blossoms, and cider pressing in the fall. We often have farm-fresh produce, firewood bundles, and local treats available for guests to purchase, so you can enjoy true farm-to-table experiences right on site.
At night, the property comes alive in its own way: clear, dark skies for stargazing, the crackle of campfires in the distance, and the soft rustle of the forest. Whether you’re in a tent, camper, or RV, you’ll find this to be a safe, welcoming, and peaceful base for your getaway.
This is simple, authentic camping the kind that reminds you how good life feels when you unplug. Come pitch your tent, park your van, or set up your camper, and let Beautiful Field Farm be your home in the country.
Life on the farm is never lonely; we share our space with a few friendly barn cats who love to wander the orchard and lounge in the sunshine. They’re curious and social, often coming by to say hello to campers.
We also keep a lively chicken coop on the farm. Expect to hear the roosters crowing at sunrise a true country alarm clock! The hens roam and cluck nearby, adding to the authentic farm atmosphere.

Weekend Trip to BAM’s Spanish Riviera
We spent a fantastic long weekend at Beth’s camp & loved it. Beth was so welcoming and chill, and we immediately felt at home. She and her crew were gracious and friendly and full of interesting history about the camp. Beth sent us lots of helpful information in advance and also answered all our questions.
The property has a fabulous vibe, and is perfectly situated on the shores of the Spanish, which was ideal for the paddlers and the anglers in our group. The property is nicely secluded on a section of the river- We spent a glorious afternoon swimming and fishing at a nearby beach and were totally on our own. The camp is set up with outhouses that were cleaned daily, an ingenious outdoor shower set up, and a screened in communal kitchen area. We had everything we needed to make the weekend great. The final touch: the sauna was exactly what we needed to relax at end of the day. We would highly recommend Beth’s camp to anyone looking for a quaint and comfortable place to relax and enjoy the river.

It’s a beautiful place and very private - didn’t see anyone else during our three day stay on the weekend. The animals were cute, the firewood was cheap, the water tasted good, and the site fit our 3 person tent perfectly.
On the downside the mosquitos got pretty difficult in the evening and we could hear the highway traffic and noise from the neighbours from the site. Still, it was a good overall experience and we would definitely camp there again in the future.

I want to emphasize that the view is good, the fields are full of daisies, and different flowers, a nice carpet. Matt keeps lawn road to site 3 trim,pass site 1, 200 ft apart from each other. Water is good. Pond behind 3 has ducks, beavers, black herons, storks, red wing black birds,sparrows, swallows, and eagles with offspring, a hawk too. I used half can of raid to get mosquitoes of screens in mornings, seemed to keep them away! Light fire at night and that would suffice. If you like camping in the rough, this is a good time.

We had a fantastic stay and would absolutely stay here again. I’d happily recommend this campground to others visiting the Killarney area.
The campsite itself was a great size, with generously spaced sites that provided a nice sense of privacy. While you could still see neighbouring campsites, there was enough distance between them that it never felt crowded or like people were wandering through your space.
The entire property was extremely well maintained. The campsites, roads, and common areas were all very well groomed, and the washroom facilities were immaculate. Everything was clean, clearly marked, and exceptionally well cared for, which really stood out.
We also appreciated the partnership with Killarney Provincial Park that allows campers to use the shower facilities there. That was a thoughtful amenity and definitely added to the overall experience.
The only thing that would make the campground even better would be access to running water. That said, this is clearly advertised in advance, so we knew exactly what to expect and it wasn’t a surprise. It’s simply the one feature that, if added in the future, would make an already outstanding campground even more exceptional.
Overall, this was an incredibly well-organized, peaceful, and enjoyable place to stay. We had an amazing experience and would definitely be back.

Where to go
Daisy Lake Uplands Provincial Park
Daisy Lake Uplands Provincial Park is a natural marvel created to protect a number of recovering ecosystems in the region and is home to important plant species, such as forests of young white birch. Though visitors can’t enter the lands, the lake and nearby waterways allow kayakers and canoers to get a closer look. Paddle around for the day or take an overnight trip to cover the entire region, but be careful not to disturb any of the delicate ecosystems. Unwind for the night at one of the beautiful cabins rentals near Sudbury.
Wanapitei Provincial Park
Spanning more than 3,400 hectares of land, Wanapitei Provincial Park is one of the most popular outdoor spots for locals and visitors alike. Wanapitei Lake (the impact crater of an ancient meteorite) features white sand beaches and small stream valleys leading to the main reservoir. Explore rolling rocklands and sandy stretches, take a load off on shore, or get out on the water to explore sporadic small islands. Campers are just a few minutes drive from Sudbury glamping sites or quiet RV parks with full hookups.
Fairbank Provincial Park
On the very edge of the Sudbury Basin (the third-largest impact crater on Earth), Fairbank Provincial Park is a great option for outdoor adventurers of all levels. Sunbathe on the white sand beaches of Fairbank Lake, or paddle a canoe through the crystal clear, spring-fed waters. There is one short but tricky trail which has hikers scrambling up bedrock to reach the panoramic view at the top—expect to see woodpeckers and warblers amongst the boreal forest biome. Fairbank Provincial Park is minutes away from Sudbury waterside camping spots and other unique accommodations.
When to go
Camping near Sudbury is great year-round. In winter, there are opportunities for cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and even ice fishing—just be prepared for cold weather (average January lows of -16°C). Fall and spring offer milder temperatures, and present ideal conditions for hikers, hunters, and anglers. Because of the seasonal climate, look at weather and temperature forecasts and pack accordingly. Summer is one of the most popular and crowded times to visit. With July average highs of 25°C, the summer months are a great time to explore Sudbury’s revitalized natural landscape.
