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.

Our stay at Site 1 on Matt's property was exactly what we were looking for. A peaceful and private site with everything we needed. My pup and I enjoyed a quiet night watching the gorgeous sunset before turning in. Unfortunately due to some poor communication on my part and odd arrival/departure time, I did not get to meet Matt. But we would absolutely stay again for longer next time we're in the area.

Great communication with host! No trouble finding the spot. Large tree -lined area. Felt pretty private. A little muddy, since it had just rained, though after a little repositioning we found higher ground & a drier spot.

I truly had such an amazing time here and can’t wait to come back! I came home and have told everyone in length about the most knowledgeable farm tour I have ever been on (although I don’t have many farm tours to compare it to). Either way, I learned so much about chickens and turkeys and birds of all kinds! As a young woman travelling alone, I felt safe and comfortable here, would 100% recommend.

Nice place, host really nice, just need more lights during night for easy moving to the tent place, and a more smooth road if you need to move things with a kart from the parking to the tent space

My partner and I drove up from Toronto to visit my family in Sudbury. We stayed on Matt's farm for the evening so we could relax under the stars and have a bonfire. Matt gave us a wonderful tour of the farm and alot of information about all the rescued and some new born animals. I have only good things to say about our stay and would go back again in the future!

2 nights at BAM’s Spanish Riviera

We stayed for 2 nights. The cabin was tastefully decorated and comfortable. The mosquitoes were absolutely horrible but both beds came with mosquitoe nets that were 100% needed. We mostly enjoyed relaxing in the cabin due to the intense amount of mosquitoes, but did go out on a canoe one afternoon when we had a nice breeze to keep the mosquitoes at bay. Overall, in spite of the mosquitoes, we had a wonderful stay. Our host Beth, made us coffee and tea and was readily available to answer any questions we had and did her best to make us feel welcome. Overall, the property and host were both excellent.

What a great place to camp! So private and everything we needed. Matt was super friendly and helpful. We didn't get to see the elk but the whippoorwill sang to us. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you, Matt!

We had such a memorable time on our camping trip! Staying in a tent under the stars was a peaceful escape from the usual routine. The highlight of our evening was watching a stunning sunset—it was absolutely breathtaking and made the whole experience feel magical. Our host, Matt, was incredibly welcoming and friendly. She gave us a lovely tour of her farm, which added a unique and personal touch to the trip. It was great to see the animals and learn about the place—we really appreciated her hospitality. If you're looking for a quiet getaway surrounded by nature and genuine warmth, this is the perfect spot. Would definitely recommend and love to return someday!

My husband and I stayed at farmer Matt's property for 8 days and it is hands down our favorite camping spot to date!! Farmer Matt was so wonderful and helpful! She always had our campsite stocked with firewood and it was so nice having access to potable water anytime! Her property is beautiful and huge!! The campsites where spread out and felt very private. The campsite was nicely laid out and had a really nice fire pit, bench and a nice, clean outhouse! We plan to make Matt's farm our new go to spot in the area for camping and could not recommend it enough!!
