T's Pond
2 sites · Lodging29 acres · Port Colborne, ON
Like most folks who’ve been bitten by the water ski bug, I dreamed of having my own lake and when I met my life partner Harald, an elite slalom skier, my search began in earnest. By a combination of good timing and good luck, I was able to make that dream come true and in the spring of 2014 I acquired this land with the hopes of building my dream water ski lake on it. 7 years later, we have a thriving water ski club and are constantly making improvements to the site. We now have decided to add some sites for rent to share this incredible property with others outside the water ski community.
Site #1 is a small cabin that sleeps 3 and site #2 is a small houseboat that has been converted to a bunkie.
Onsite activities include use of a canoe and paddleboard. Use of a kid's swingset and olympic trampoline. Swimming and fishing.
Pets are welcome, campfires are permitted.

The Pinecone
1 site · Lodging40 acres · Simcoe, ON
Come to the Pinecone to completely relax and disconnect (seriously you will because there is no cell service!).
During Summer and much of Spring and Fall, you should be able to drive up to the cabin. Unless your vehicle has especially low clearance. The road/path out to the bunkie started as a well-made tractor path that has held up well over the years but has some rocks and bumps. Once through the gate it’s only a 1-minute drive to where you will park. This road may be a bit muddy!
If you are looking for a Winter Bunkie getaway, we would be happy to host you; please note the following:
- If there has been a lot of snow the private road from the street to the Bunkie is not plowed. Depending on the type of vehicle you are driving, you may have to park at the gate entrance and walk in (4-5min walk) to get to the Bunkie.
- There is a mini wood fireplace in the Bunkie for sleeping but depending on the temperature outside and/or the wind it still may be a little chilly.
- There is lots of free wood available for an outside fire but we are sometimes low on small pieces to start fire or use for the mini fireplace. You can bring in your own extra kindling or bring own saw/axe to chop.
- Bring your own extra blankets.
DETAILS:
Sleeping loft accessible by ladder comfortably sleeps 2.
You'll have an outdoor fire pit, picnic table and 2 grills (we have lots of wood but you can bring your own charcoal for cooking). Enjoy watching the starts at night by the fire and visits from the abundant wildlife.
There is 1 queen size bed in the loft for sleeping which is accessible by ladder. You will melt into the pillow-top mattress, luscious linens and don’t want to wake up heavenly pillows.
There is porta potty outhouse that is cleaned, bright and easy to access. There are hanging solar lights that can be turned on as needed.
There isn't running water in the bunkie but we are happy to provide you with as much well water that you would like, for cooking/cleaning. Do not drink from well unless you bring your own filtration system. No shower space but sponge/cloth bathing possible.
There is a small table for 2 inside the bunkie or you can prep food and eat outside on the picnic table. A small fridge cooler is available to store any perishable food you may have. Bring your own ice.
The bunkie has solar lighting for the evenings. If you don’t want to find your own firewood in the forest you can pick it up from locals on your way in for $5/bundle (see stands at the end of driveways).
It is a big chunk of land but you can't really get 'lost' on it for any significant period of time. We are bounded by roads so eventually you will find your way. But, if you aren't experienced in the woods you may want to keep your wandering short, to start, as you get familiar with the land.
Dog friendly!!
We provide:
• Bed linens and pillows
• Basin for sponge/cloth baths
• Toilet Paper
• Small fridge to be used as cooler
• Charcoal BBQ
• BBQ Utensils
• First Aid kit
What to bring:

The best camping near Rock Point Provincial Park guide
Overview
About
Over 350 million years ago, Rock Point Provincial Park was a giant coral reef. Today, fossils are embedded into a limestone shelf on the beach, where visitors can spend hours combing the area for shells and fossils. Only a two-hour drive from Toronto, the park is a unique combination of wetland, Carolinian forest, and sand dunes—and it’s also a beacon for monarch butterflies on their way down to Mexico during their migration. With 177 campsites, a playground, and tall grass that acts as a natural noise buffer between sites, the park is a solid camping option and especially popular among families.
Notable campgrounds
- Best for larger trailers: The Kinsey and Niece campgrounds have electrical outlets and are suitable for large trailers in addition to tents.
- Best for scenic views: Sites 1 to 7 are a short walk to the Woodlot Hiking Trail and the lookout point platform to view coral reef fossils.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- Ontario Parks takes online booking reservations up to five months in advance of each arrival date.
- As this park is near Toronto and Niagara Falls, holiday weekends fill quickly with families.
- If you have trouble scoring a campsite, consider going farther west to Port Bruce Provincial Park or north to Mono Cliffs Provincial Park.
When to go
This summer-only park is typically open from May 14 until October 12. Mosquitoes, black flies, and deer flies love campers in early spring, so be prepared. To celebrate the annual migration of the some 3,000 monarch butterflies that stop here in fall, Rock Point hosts special migration festivals. Fall is also a quiet time in the park to take in the colourful autumn foliage.
Know before you go
- The day-use area is set up with picnic tables and barbecues for rent.
- Bikes are available for rent in the park.
- The park store sells souvenirs and basic sundries, but it’s best to buy groceries before arriving.
- The beach’s west end is dog-friendly.
- Bring water shoes for kids, as the pebble beach can be pretty slippery.
