Gathering Place
We loved tent camping at Chad’s site! It was big, private and clean. There was so much to do with the lazy river and hiking trails just across the road. It was near a main road so you could hear cars a lot but that didn’t bother us. Chad was friendly and helpful providing the clean toilet and firewood. We had an amazing time!!

Chad & Stephanie were great hosts. Very friendly and happy to help with anything we may have needed.. Private spot, clean port-o-let with hand washing station. Convenient garbage & recycling bins. Firewood was dry and included for campfires which was awesome. Great spot to experience a relaxing float down a natural lazy river! Gorgeous dark sky ideal for star gazing. 5 minute drive from the hamlet of Buckhorn with all conveniences from
Foodland to LCBO, restaurants and shops. Pink granite site with mature pines and great fire pit. Hwy 23 traffic can be heard from the site but quiets down late afternoon. We enjoyed the quiet evenings to sit back and relax and take it all in. Will definitely visit again! The Mississauga River float is a Gem. Be sure to bring your tube/floaties to add to this great spot/experience!

Chad was a great Host!
Had a clean outhouse and site, lots of firewood.
There was a burn ban in effect and he provided a cook stove. Also provided us with 2 tubes for the river float.
Excellent location. Close to the Kawartha country winery, Buckhorn town and walking distance to the river float.
The highway is close so if you have a hard time sleeping with traffic noise be aware.

Gathering Place
The campsite was lovely! There was a lot of firewood to use, and lots of room to set up a run for our pup. The Johnny on the Spot was unexpected but welcome lol
Everything was clean and Chad checked in with us as soon as he was on the property. He messaged beforehand to tell us to make ourselves at home in the meantime. He was very friendly and told us to let him know if we needed absolutely anything, otherwise he would give us our privacy. Overall this was a lovely trip and we will definitely consider it again next year! 😊

We had a lovely time staying with Chad in Buckhorn. The fire pit was well situated on a large granite area, there were fireflies at dusk and the camp is right by the highway, making it easy to come and go and enjoy exploring the area. Chad and his partner were extremely helpful, even rescuing us when we bottomed out on a rock in our tiny Yaris. Thank you for everything!

Me and my friends had a good time camping at Chad’s site. We had bad weather but he was very accommodating and gave us a tabletop bbq to use. Even though it was raining, it wasn’t too bad because we just went out the a-frame to stay dry. The lazy river being right across the street was so convenient and going down the river was the best part of our trip. Chad even blew up some floaties for us to use :)

Gathering Place was amazing. Our hosts were great. The site was more we expected. Lots of fire wood and the outhouse was very clean. There is so much to explore. We wish we could have stayed longer. Being allowed to run the generator at 5 am without any complaints was an extra bonus. The river is close by and if you have the time take the slow trip down the river on a tube.
We will definitely be back. Thanks to our wonderful host.
Cheers

Gathering Place
Chad is the best host we've ever had! He was so considerate, kind and helpful, reassuring us that he was there for any of our needs. He offered water floaties for the lazy river, a very clean toilet system, firewood with buckets of emergency water and a camping stove. He was willing to get a fire started for us if we arrived after dark.
The lazy river and hiking trail was right across the road, a huge highlight to our trip! Foodland was less than a 10 minute drive away.
The campsite was clean, quiet and was very private. Barely any noise came from the highway. The Outhouse was exceptionally clean and had a pump flush & hand wash station!
Overall, we had an amazing time and felt at home right when we arrived. We can't wait to return. We will always recommend this beautiful property!

We had a fantastic stay at Chad's property! The host was very friendly, showed us around and had great advise on the park across the road. We found a level spot for the RV and had plenty of space for a tent as well.
The park is great for short hikes/walks and we introduced our young kids to canoeing on the gentle river. Excellent experience, great memories and we'll be back!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this campsite, and it was an unforgettable experience. The campsite was well-maintained, clean, and had all the necessary amenities, including clean restroom facilities and fire pits.
The host was exceptional - friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the area. They provided us with valuable information about hiking trails and local attractions.
One of the highlights of our trip was the water tubing activity. It was a thrilling adventure that allowed us to cool off on a hot day while enjoying the scenic river. The equipment was in good condition, and safety measures were in place, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
Overall, this campsite exceeded our expectations in terms of its natural beauty, amenities, and the exceptional host. It's a perfect destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. I can't wait to return and explore more of the area's beauty. Highly recommended!

Grounds on the Gathering Place are spacious and private, great fire pit on smooth flat stone with onsite grills. Well cleared graveled areas to maneuver an RV or small trailer, with softer surfaces suitable for tents. Walking distance to the entry access of an incredibly popular lazy river and hiking trails, just across the hwy! A lot of fun for many ages, floating devices required, so come equipped. Chad is a generous host with many extras to offer if the need arises, communication was easy and immediate. Plan ahead and communicate with host should specific arrangements be required.. Guests' privacy is of the utmost importance to Chad. Overall amazing experience and look forward to booking again.
