Pitch your tent next to one of our fields or in the forest. Our place is perfect for nature-loving, quiet, experienced self-sufficient campers. Our camping sites are located towards the back of our property, so a 5-10 mins walk is required to get to your site. We can provide a wagon to help transport your supplies. THE AREA You will have access to 700+ acres of conservation/county forest beginning at your campsite. You can walk out of your tent and explore! There are 2 small lakes within a short drive of Dusty Hills. McCullough Lake is about 5 minutes by car or an easy bike ride to the public beach. Williams Lake is less than 10 minutes by car and also has public access. We are a 10-minute drive from Kinghurst Forest, which is 370 hectares of old-growth forest designated as an Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI). Centrally located, just south of the Bruce Peninsula -- you will be perfectly situated for day trips to Georgian Bay or Lake Huron. The sandy beaches of Port Elgin, Southampton or Sauble Beach are a 40-minute drive. Access points to the Saugeen River for fishing/paddling are also nearby. LOGISTICS We are a short bike ride away from the town of Williamsford, which contains a sprawling bookstore/café in an old mill, the famous Williamsford Pie Company, and a well-stocked convenience store (LCBO Licensed). Any other shopping needs can likely be satisfied in Owen Sound, 20 minutes north of us. We can provide drinking water, and have folding tables and chairs for your site if you would like them. Please note: Small group camping only (6 person max per site). No parties. No late arrivals. No ATVs. Any children must be supervised by an adult at all times. All flammable materials, including cigarettes, are to be extinguished and packed out. There is no garbage disposal, please take away the garbage you create. "Pack-it-in and take-it-out" is our policy. Quiet hours are from 11 p.m. - 6 a.m. 2SLGBTQIA supporter 🌈 We look forward to hosting you!Pitch your tent next to one of our fields or in our pine forest.

Very nice hosts

Tent · With pets

Hosts prepared everything even if it was short notice. Would’ve loved it more if grass were all trimmed out but it was still a nice camping experience

I had a truly amazing time at the camp. The environment was peaceful, the setup was just what I needed, and it gave me a perfect break from the usual routine.it was clean, well-organized, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The overall experience was incredibly refreshing. I’m already looking forward to coming back sometime in the fall. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to reconnect with nature and enjoy some quality time outdoors!

Dusty Hills Dreamin'

Tent

Tent camping at Julie's was just as described. We had privacy, pitched our tent where it suited us, and the grounds were a charming mix of fields and forest. She offered firewood, water if needed, and we had the use of two wagons to transport our items to and from our site. Together with her family's friendliness, it was a pleasant stay all around!
