Glamping in the Woods

1 site · Lodging34 acres · Foresters Falls, ON

This 30ac property was once the site of a Carding Mill used for the processing of sheep’s wool. Before wool can be spun into thread or yarn, it must be combed, also referred to as carded, to straighten the wool fiber and remove impurities. Water-powered carding machines like the one that was at this site made it much easier and faster to prepare the wool for spinning. It was said that it would take a family months to prepare as much wool by hand as a carding machine could card in a day. The carding mill on this site would have stood along the creek which is leading from the pond to the Grants Settlement road. Earth berms which you can still see today near the opening of the creek, held back water to power the mill. The pond would have been about 10ft deeper than it currently is now. Over the years the beavers have taken up the charge of damming the creek and making a natural aquatic habitat. The Old Mill Cabin was constructed in 2020 using salvaged beams from the old fallen down barn that you pass on your way in. It was a family affair with all getting involved in the process.

Camping near Pembroke guide

Overview

Right at the border with Quebec, the small city of Pembroke sits perched on the junction of the Ottawa River and the Muskrat River in southeastern Ontario. This means camping near Pembroke brings opportunities to see both provinces. Lakeside campsites with fishing are a hot commodity as the Ottawa Valley area features 900 nearby lakes and four river systems—perfect for booking a whitewater rafting tour and spotting local wildlife. There are also tons of lakeside camping options with hot tubs or RV camping sites with full hookups for a more relaxed experience. If desired, stay on-grid at campsites with wifi that make real-time social sharing possible.

Where to go

Algonquin Provincial Park

Bears, moose, loons—spot native wildlife when traversing the extensive trail system through Algonquin Provincial Park. Covering 7,000 square kilometres of dense forest with over 1,000 lakes, Algonquin Park is packed with epic views and plenty of tent camping or canoe portage routes. Check out the picturesque waterfall at High Falls Park, and stop by the picnic tables for a midday snack before jumping in for a swim.

Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park

Although Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park is smaller and lesser-known than the iconic Algonquin Provincial Park, it features the same lush deciduous forests and refreshing lakes. There’s no visitor center here, and the area is not as well-serviced (offering tent camping only and no RV parks or car campsites), but that’s a plus for those looking to avoid crowds.

Bonnechere Provincial Park

Settle into the sandy beach of Round Lake to enjoy the best of what Bonnechere Provincial Park has to offer. Set in Renfrew County, Ontario, this recreational gem offers over 100 campsites along with a shower station and playground. Both kayak and paddleboard rentals are available for exploring the expansive waters (just remember a lifejacket).

Petawawa

History lovers and military buffs will especially appreciate a pit stop in Petawawa. This small township hosts a Canadian Army base for combat troops, and strolls through Heritage Village provide a first-hand experience of life as an early settler. Other recreational activities include a sprawling 18-hole golf course, waterfront beaches, and a full-service marina.

When to go

Head to Pembroke in the fall for stunning colors and a cycling tour—the best way to maximize your views of the changing leaves. Winter descends from early November through March, so bring lots of layers and waterproof clothing. Heavy-duty winter boots are vital for outdoor activities throughout December, January, and February. The off-season in springtime (April and May) is less busy, then summer season ramps up in June, July, and August.
