If you're craving a peaceful escape, Saugeen River Retreat is the kind of place that gently pulls you back to what matters. The campsites are spacious and private, surrounded by forest and an open meadow, with trails that invite you to wander and explore. Everything feels calm here—no traffic, no noise, just birdsong and the rustle of leaves.
The walk to the river is a treat in itself, and once you arrive, it’s the perfect spot to swim, skip stones, or simply sit and let the water carry your thoughts away. Evenings are magical—campfires crackling, stars overhead, and a sense of stillness.
The hosts are very accommodating and went above and beyond with all the little extras such a free firewood, benches, a seating area near the water, and a 5 gallon jug of water which came in very handy.
