Back 2 Zen - Tent Forest Camping
This is a lovely and quiet campsite close to Georgian Bay. It is flat and offers several places to set up camp, both in the shade or out in the sunshine. The composting toilet is a nice amenity.

We had a great weekend at Back to Zen. The site is spacious, very private and there are shady areas for your tents. We were just a few minutes drive away from the lake and Meaford.
Bring a hammer for your tent pegs as the ground is rocky under the grass

Back 2 Zen - Tent Forest Camping
Beautiful escape to nature! So much space and perfect for tents. Toilet was fun too hahaha. The lake is under a 20min walk from the spot, you have to go back to the road and walk around to the lake. But the lake is beautiful!

This is certainly a nice private area hidden away from everyone. I never saw anyone the entire time I was there which is what I was looking for. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate at all while I was there so I didn’t get to explore much beyond the campsite.
My hosts were responsive to my questions and have a nice area laid out for camping.
One very important thing to note is their location next to a military base. Maybe I just had poor timing but the time I was there had a whole lot of automatic weapons fire as well as loud explosions. Perhaps this doesn’t occur very often but I experienced it and people with noise sensitivity, like myself, would best be aware of the possibility.

Jackie and Simona were amazing hosts. They have a beautiful and well-maintained backyard, a very quiet and secluded area for which we were looking for a peaceful moment. We definitely want to come back!

We loved our stay at Jackie and Simona's land! We has the most incredible views of the stars that kept us up far later than we should have! The fire pit is huge and throws great heat. The site is really well maintained.

The site was wonderful. Great spots to pitch tents. Surroundings were beautiful and the sounds and sights of wildlife were plentiful. Downside was the lack of available firewood and little communication with owner. There was no directions regarding bathing or swimming locations

The property is beautiful, private and quiet. We stayed one night but would do a longer stay. Jackie was very friendly and helpful when we needed some assistance. We plan on returning again.

We had an amazing time camping at Jackie and Simona's. The site was great. They were super friendly. Just down the road a little bit from the camp site was a swimming spot that we visited almost every day with our dog. The swimming spot was amazing

Back 2 Zen - Tent Forest Camping
Back 2 Zen is a private, tranquil camping spot thriving with an abundance of greenery and good vibes! We camped during very hot weather and were able to live and sleep comfortably due to the surrounding forest and short commute to the water. The highlight of our stay was the complete and total privacy offered, which is hard to find during the summer camping season. Communication with the hosts was quick and efficient. Fantastic camping site!

We had a great time camping at this place! It’s lovely, quiet, and private. We were able to take some great astrophotography shots on the clear nights we had and loved seeing some cute porcupines in the trees while we made s’mores at the great fire pit :)

Jackie was a great host - she was very friendly and approachable! The campsite was easy to get to and the spot itself had a giant stone campfire pit that would great for medium-larger groups. Also the area is surrounded by woods and is near a dark-sky preserve which makes it absolutely perfect for astronomy. Highly recommended!

The most remote and quiet place I’ve been to so far.. nobody else around. If you genuinely want privacy, peace and quiet away from everyone and everything then this is the place to go!! Not to mention that Jackie and Simona were very responsive and flexible in supporting in any way.
Thank you again!

We had a great time camping in Jackie and Simona’s little Zen forest! They were very quick to answer questions and the area is magnificent - not to mention quiet. If you want a peaceful and private place to hang out, this is the place!

This area was so private with plenty of space to set up. The firepit was also huge with large rocks surrounding it to sit on if you want to roast by the fire. There's also a really nice trail attached to the camping area, just don't get lost! The outhouse was far enough away from the site to give privacy if you're choosing to camp with a group. When bathing in the lake, be prepared to have to do it around other people since it's not private. The area is surrounded by thick brush so it's fairly protected from wind (nothing blew away during a thunderstorm). There's also a resident chipmunk that will help you clean up if you let them. This place is perfect if you're looking for something more remote with very little noise from other people. I would absolutely visit again and highly recommend it to others!

Great little location with enough room for 2-3 large tents. The fire pit is really big and surrounded by boulders - a great vibe. The host was very friendly.

I had the most wonderful time hiking, reading and relaxing with my dogs. I enjoyed exploring different loops on the Bruce trail every day and then spending quiet time at this peaceful campsite every evening. I'm definitely hoping to come back!

Met the owner and she was very friendly. The tranquility and peacefulness is awesome! Nice set up to pitch a tent. Setting up a fire was so easy to do. Would recommend this place if you want to get away from the noise and unplug. The toilet was unique but not ideal...nasty mosquitos when your are on the outdoor toilet. All in all, we enjoyed our time away.

We absolutely loved the Zen space. Jackie & Simona we’re so accommodating and responsive, but we had total privacy. The camp area was spacious and well maintained. No issues during our stay, at all. We also loved how near the beach we were! We will be back!

This was a lovely camping spot. Such a great alternative to your typical campground. The site was large, the ground cover was glass/clover which was great. You are completely tucked away surrounded by woods, it felt really private. Great way to spend a weekend outdoors.

Would be a fun place for a bunch of tents, to gather with friends. Beach is a bit of a drive away, so be careful when looking at the photos, it's land locked gotta drive to the beach
