Heavens Acres has been a stop over since the 1850's for people travelling by horse from Toronto to Owen Sound. We have 100 acres surrounded by another 200 acres of conservation land. There is camping in the pine forest as well at the very back of the property where you will find a hardwood bush with trails. Please note that the hipcamp map shows a large body of water on the property, as does google driving maps. It is a marsh, not a lake. Google Earth shows it better. There is however, a creek and pond, but don't bring your boat. :) This is a "LEAVE NO TRACE" campsite, so please take all garbage when you leave. There is no water or power, but there is an outhouse Please note that in the winter months. There’s a $25 surcharge. This is required for snow removal to access the sites that are at at least 1 km into the bush. We are in a snow belt area and it is very difficult to keep the sites open in the winter. Four-wheel-drive is required for access in the winter!

Heavens Acres has been a stop over since the 1850's for people travelling by horse from Toronto to Owen Sound. We have 100 acres surrounded by another 200 acres of conservation land. There is camping in the pine forest as well at the very back of the property where you will find a hardwood bush with trails. Please note that the hipcamp map shows a large body of water on the property, as does google driving maps. It is a marsh, not a lake. Google Earth shows it better. There is however, a creek and pond, but don't bring your boat. :) This is a "LEAVE NO TRACE" campsite, so please take all garbage when you leave. There is no water or power, but there is an outhouse Please note that in the winter months. There’s a $25 surcharge. This is required for snow removal to access the sites that are at at least 1 km into the bush. We are in a snow belt area and it is very difficult to keep the sites open in the winter. Four-wheel-drive is required for access in the winter!

Tolkien readers will know the Grey Havens. The final chapter of the Rings trilogy is about going to "The Grey Havens" the last of the havens of the Elves on Middle Earth." We embrace Tolkien's imagination. Readers and writers especially like our lakefront property. We especially encourage writers and readers looking for a retreat. We do our best to facilitate relaxation and inspiration. Each space has a unique small Library and try our public Little Free Library. We have quiet, segregated spaces inside or outside for writing or reading. Our lake is flushed with cool underground water: a small naturally special kettle, source of the Styx River (different myth). Perhaps you'd rather fill your days with water recreation activities: swimming, fishing, kayaking, canoeing. We have a free boat launch for your watercraft. Lots of County Forest or Bruce Trailhead hiking opportunities nearby. We have the following Free amenities: Car parking (1 vehicle/site); Motorcycle friendly parking pads for touring riders Wireless access Spacious outdoor Privy and Wash House Dock and canoe/kayak launch (for your own canoes/kayaks) Patio/deck (20'x25') with fire circle, chairs and tables (burn only locally sourced wood-see our Extras) We also have convenient "Extras" "Firewood Bundle" ($25) for any open fires to cook or watch "Failsafe fire starter kit" (5$) for 12 starters "Butane Cook Stove" ($25) for camp stove cooking "Hip Camper Workshop" ($60) patient instruction on safely starting a campfire, one fire setup demonstration and includes a Firewood Bundle and a Failsafe fire starter kit.

"Townsend Lake Cruise" ($30) learn about the natural history of lake on our unique eVessel, Swizzle Styx with the host as captain. "Gear Wagon" ($10) to transport your luggage, tents, gear and/or coolers from the car to the site (and out again also). Grey Havens is waste wise: remove your garbage and cleanup your site to get a cleaning refund on your booking. Hip Campers may wonder about the whale bench seen in many of our photographs.

This beautiful spot was re-forested with pine a number of years ago, and was sectioned off from the surrounding farmland, which is now maintained by the mennonite community. It is 8 1/2 acres of wetland and forest, with a mown perimeter, and cool places to tuck into the forest for the night. The current owner was a special educator, and now is slowly turning the land into her homestead. There is a beautiful, spa quality outdoor shower next to a tidy and 'fancier than most' outhouse, a strawberry patch as well as wild alpine strawberries all over the property, a big dog and a small indoor cat keep her company. Here is what the land offers: -Bunkie in the Forest: A sweet 8x8 ft. space with new bunk and mattresses as of April 2023 -Strawberry Fields bunkie: an 10x12 space with a loft with a queen memory foam mattress and a main floor with a full futon and a small table -Campsites: Meadow, Forest and River spots. Close to each other, but you'd never know it! All three are chill and serene places. The property backs onto a ten-foot swimming hole in an otherwise shallow part of the Saugeen River. -RV Spot: With electric hook up ideal for RVs 30 feet and under -a connection to the organization, 'Black Folks Camp Too'! Welcoming to all!!!!! So much to see and do in the area!

The cabin is located along the Saugeen River, just north of 700 acres of managed trails in Bruce County, Ontario. Our property is 85-acres (40 acres is farmed). We are only 20-minutes from beaches and world-class sunsets in Port Elgin, Saugeen Shores, and Southampton.  WINTER: Ski-In-Ski-Out. Road access is limited for extreme seclusion!

Relaxing Riverside Getaway, Peaceful Camping on the Water Come camp right along the Saugeen River and enjoy a quieter, more private kind of camping experience. The property runs along the river, so you’re never far from the water, whether you want to swim, float, paddle, or just sit and listen to it. There’s a calm, kid-friendly swimming spot on site and easy access to launch a canoe or go for a float down the river. It’s a great place to slow down, with mornings spent having coffee by the water and evenings around the fire, with plenty of space to just relax. The campsite itself is a flat, comfortable spot suitable for tents, campers, or small RVs. You’ll have access to potable water, a simple toilet setup such as an outhouse or portable toilet, and a fire pit for cooking or evening fires. This isn’t a busy campground. There’s plenty of space and privacy, so it’s ideal if you’re looking to unwind without being surrounded by other campers. Dogs are welcome and there is lots of room for them to roam. You’re still within a short drive of nearby towns if you need supplies, but once you’re here, it feels tucked away. If you’re looking for a simple, peaceful riverside stay with real access to the water, this is a good spot for it.
