Come and enjoy a traditional, rustic camping experience on the mighty Ottawa River! Bring your water shoes and a canoe or kayak (or you may rent one of ours) for an unforgettable adventure. Located on the Quebec side of the Ottawa River, east of the bridge that passes over from Hawkesbury, Ontario, this beautiful (mostly) deciduous forest is situated on both sides of the 344/Rte Des Outaouais. The 59 acre property (50 acres on land, ~9 acres of river/water) features scenic views, privacy and is host to many outdoor activities such as swimming, canoeing, kayaking, fishing and more. The Point... The main shared area "The Point", is the peninsula that the main roadway ends at (where the BBQ, kayaks and canoes are), this is a shared area for us and our guests to enjoy. The Point offers a large picnic table, a propane BBQ, comfortable seating, a large rock perfect for sunbathing, and a river view. It's an ideal spot for swimming and launching canoes, kayaks, or paddle-board river excursions, thanks to its shallow entry and rocky bottom. Adventurous visitors might choose to paddle upriver, around an island, and return through the remaining historic canal. For a more strenuous workout, consider paddling up the canal to the Grenville lighthouse and then drifting all the way back to camp with the river's current. Enjoy this historic, lazy river experience! Nearby Amenities... Numerous amenities are located within a distance of 1-3 kms, including a gas station with electric vehicle charging facilities, an IGA grocery store, and various restaurants such as McDonald's and Tim Horton's. For a classic poutine experience, Jos Patate is a great choice, having been around for many decades. If you're looking for a wide range of poutine options, La Fromagerie is the place to go and for ice cream lovers, La Crémière is located in the same building! ...It is a "must-visit" on a hot summer day. Tourism... Numerous tourist attractions are conveniently located in the vicinity, such as the exhilarating white water rafting experience on the Rouge River and the wildlife-filled Parc Omega zoo, both within a short 10-25 km distance. For a wider range of activities, day trips to Ottawa, Montreal, the Calypso water park, or Mont Tremblant are all approximately an hour's drive away.

At our place, it's public land, so we aim to offer access as simply as possible. We'd love to chat with you around the fire, or give you space to relax, depending on your needs. We live in our eco-friendly straw bale house on the property, and the forest behind can welcome you. We've prepared a flat space for setting up a tent in the heart of the forest with a view of the lake; you'll be very secluded! Access to an outdoor compost toilet is available at all times. Access to the wild lake out back with canoes on-site. Access to the fire pit. Access to numerous hiking trails nearby. If money is an issue, we can work out help in the garden or elsewhere in exchange for your campsite. Looking forward to meeting you!

​Welcome to Little Forest Lake! Enjoy our private family property featuring a small, serene lake—perfect for nature watching or a private spot to cast a line. We have a great site right next to the water equipped with a picnic bench and a fire pit. Firewood is also available right on-site. ​A Note on the Spot: Our lakeside area is easy to access but sits near a road that can be busy at times. If you prefer a more peaceful experience, you are more than welcome to camp closer to the house where it is much quieter. We want you to have the best stay possible! ​ ​Bienvenue au Little Forest Lake ! ​Profitez de notre propriété familiale privée comprenant un petit lac serein, idéal pour l'observation de la nature ou pour pêcher en toute tranquillité. Nous offrons un superbe emplacement juste au bord de l'eau, équipé d'une table de pique-nique et d'un foyer. Du bois de chauffage est également disponible directement sur place. ​À noter concernant l'emplacement : Notre zone au bord du lac est facile d'accès, mais elle est située près d'une route qui peut être passante par moments. Si vous préférez une expérience plus paisible, vous êtes les bienvenus pour camper plus près de la maison, où l'environnement est beaucoup plus calme. Nous voulons que vous passiez le meilleur séjour possible !

Dog Friendly Cliffside Cabin

Denholm, QC · 1 site
I built this cabin to be a romantic, cozy off-grid getaway for humans , but if most of our guests are being honest, the dogs are the ones having the best time. There’s a cozy queen bed with fresh linens and a down duvet. A covered deck with handcrafted rocking chairs for sunset views. A private fire area below for campfires and stargazing. LED lighting, a Bluetooth speaker, a Jackery battery bank, clean well water, lanterns, an outdoor shower, and a clean outhouse. I’ll even haul your gear in by ATV so you can settle in without the hassle. And after all that work, most guests still seem to agree on the real highlight: Watching their dogs absolutely lose their minds with happiness. More than anything, this place has become a favourite for people who want to give their dogs the kind of freedom they rarely get anywhere else. Most of our guests tell us over and over, that their favourite part is watching their best friends make their own decisions, run the trails, sniff everything, chase chipmunks, explore the forest, and basically have the time of their lives. Of course, the humans tend to enjoy themselves too. The cabin sits on a west-facing cliff on our private 164-acre property. Once you arrive, you’ll have the feeling of having the whole place to yourselves. The trails, the forest, the quiet, the sunsets, it all feels wonderfully removed from the usual noise. This time of year, the forest is waking up, and the property starts to shift into spring. It’s a beautiful season here, muddy in spots, full of fresh smells, birdsong, and that feeling that everything is coming back to life. For dogs, it’s heaven. For people, it’s a chance to unplug, slow down, and enjoy a kind of peace that’s getting harder to find. You’ll have access to 10 km of private trails through forest, ridgelines, and lakeshore. Wildlife is plentiful, and depending on the season, you may spot deer, foxes, loons, and maybe even a family of bald eagles! There’s no electricity or running water, but that’s part of the magic. This is real off-grid comfort: simple, peaceful, and thoughtfully set up so you can enjoy nature without giving up a good night’s sleep. Whether you come for a quiet escape, or just to watch your dog have the best weekend of their life, this is the place to be.

QC · 3 sites · Tents, Lodging
**IMPORTANT** Our hipcamp calendar does NOT sync with our website booking platform. You can either check-in with us for availability or go directly to our website. Some escapes are real. This is one of them. Lièvre Rouge sits on 275 private acres in the Hautes-Laurentides, two and a half hours north of Montréal — and far enough from everything else that the silence becomes something you can feel. No road noise. No ambient light. Just boreal forest, three spring-fed lakes, and the particular weight of having nowhere to be. The micro-cabins are designed to disappear into the landscape — not minimalist for aesthetics, but stripped of everything that gets in the way. Wake up to birdsong or snow-muffled quiet depending on the season. Step outside to a lake that, for these few days, belongs entirely to you. The Spa du Sous-Bois is the kind of place you stop rushing through. Outdoor thermal soaking, wood-fired sauna, deep forest quiet. Included in your stay. Best appreciated after a long afternoon on the trails — or before the evening begins. (Only open from August to May) In the evening, follow the lights through the trees to the Café-Buvette — a forest speakeasy that doesn't appear on any map. Handcrafted cocktails, local spirits, craft beers... the kind of atmosphere that only exists when the setting does the work. The property connects directly to the P'tit Train du Nord, one of Québec's most beloved outdoor corridors. Cycling in summer, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in winter. We don't close for any season — we just change what's waiting for you outside. This is not a resort. No front desk, no itinerary, no manufactured experience. What there is: 275 acres, three lakes, a forest spa, and a hidden bar at the end of a path through the trees. Minimum stay: 2 nights. Most guests wish they'd booked 3. Cert#: 627811
