Learn more about this land: Welcome to our Off-grid Waterfront Forest Campground! We have 20 Acres (mostly forested) and 4 campsites to choose from for both tent campers and RV/trailer campers. There is plenty of space to pitch your tent and a large area for parking. The site is suitable for RVs 45 feet or less (you will be parking on grass/gravel). The trail to the water is about a 10 minute hike from the parking area. The water has quite a lot of algae by the shore. Great for paddling or fishing not so much for swimming. There are multiple fire-pits scattered across the property. Compost toilet outhouse is by the parking area next to the shipping container. Choose from multiple sites from a grassy/gravel semi-private area near the driveway with car access or hike up the bedrock (50metres from driveway) for an amazing view of the stars and moon, or for optimal privacy, there are campsites available along the trails in the forest. We are located right by the Rideau Canal, Lock 45 - Lower Brewers (please note that bridge is currently under construction - access is through Sunbury road or Battersea) We also have many trails and lakes nearby and Little Cataraqui Creek Conservation Area is only a 20-minute drive. This is a great hike close to Kingston, especially in the fall. The track is also groomed for XC Skiing in the winter. This is one of many possible hikes here and takes me between 1 and 2 hours. It's a great escape if you just have a little time. We run our property solely on solar energy so electrical output is minimal. There is a 3 prong extension cord available for use by the outhouse that can take small loads such as lights, charging electronics, and higher loads during sunlight hours. Campfires are permitted (firewood available at 5$/crate), pets are welcome, and potable water is available on the property. We also have wifi and cell reception!Welcome to The Forest Campground!

Not enough space for 2 groups

We arrived at Marz's place shortly before sundown or else we would have tried to find a different place for the night. Unfortunately, the area available for camping at Marz's place was fairly small and was being used by a large group (10+ people with 3 tents, tables, chairs, and 2 vehicles). The group had spread out in all of the available camping area. They said that they had been there all weekend and seemed surprised that we were there to camp as well. Marz responded quickly to my messages through the Hipcamp app, but suggested that we ask the other group to move their vehicle and things to make space for us. We did not feel like it was our place to make that request of the other group. Marz then suggested that we just park at the end of the driveway instead, which we ended up doing. Out was our worst experience staying at a Hipcamp site. We did not feel comfortable or welcome. So, in the morning, we woke up and left before the sunrise. When I messaged Marz later in the day, I asked for a refund due to our experience but did not get a response back.

The camping area is quiet and relaxing. The area is mostly level. I only needed 1 block where I chose to set up but many places I would not have needed it. The fire pit was large and allowed plenty of room to spread out. Marz was available for any questions I had. The location is near some historic areas, including a lock for you to explore or just relax and have a nice picnic on the grounds.

Amazing experience

We loved camping at Sarah's camp site. The views are to die for, she was a awsome host, my dog loved her dog and the company. Fire pit was a perfext touch, we will definatly be coming back when time allows. Totally recomend this spot for anybody looking for a nice place to tent close to town.
