All to yourself

100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.

A tranquil sanctuary of peace and solitude to soothe the soul, Simcoe Island is a bird watcher paradise, so close to the city of Kingston yet a world where time has stopped. Accommodations are a 16’ x 20’ prospector wall tent, set up with queen size deluxe air mattress, bunk bed and single cots for extra guests. We have a food prep table, dishes, frying pan and cooking pot, a small microwave, single induction cooktop, small bar fridge and a kettle and coffee maker. You can eat your meals at the picnic table inside the tent or at the outside picnic table. There is a kerosene heater for cooler nights and a wood pellet stove which will heat the tent during the winter months. An outdoor dishwashing station is available with on demand hot water. We have a basic dug privy. There are bicycles available to use to explore the island and there are 3 kayaks and 2 canoes for paddling in the sheltered channel and the lake. Fishing generally is good. Ferry toll is $10 for a return trip and the ferry from downtown Kingston to Wolfe Island is free. Linens and sleeping bags are available if requested . FALL and WINTER CAMPING at Windpsalm: Kerosene and/or wood pellets costs will be discussed prior to or upon guests arrival during the fall and winter months. The pellet stove's fan tends to be a bit noisy but it does a good job of making the tent warm and comfortable. Fen stayed in the tent in February when the overnight temperatures were -25C and the inside temperature on the back wall was 18C. Fen's grandchildren are also regular winter campers at Windpsalm. We can also provide a few sets of snowshoes and if requested a popup ice fishing hut. In the event that the snow is too deep for your vehicle, we will transport our guests to the tent in our farm John Deere Gator.The site accomodation is a spacious canvas prospector tent at the base of a 25 acre hayfield. Located on a 1500 acre island a couple of ferry rides from downtown Kingston, Ontario. Besides the equipped tent, bicycles, canoes and kayaks are available and stored in separate sheds. There are life jackets and some bike helmets available. The island is approximately 5km long with one main road up the centre which ends at a historic lighthouse built in 1833. Nature lovers will find a bird watcher's paradise and a peaceful location to unwind.

This wonderland of green was so beautiful. The land & water is just breathtaking and the peaceful atmosphere. Fen was a great host very friendly, everything was in order. The sleeping space was warm and cozy. Our dog loved the space to run. Will be returning!

Had such a good time on Fen’s land. It was the perfect spot to unwind and relax on the property and out on the water. Our dog also had an amazing time. Fen was an excellent communicator and was always there via text message if we had any questions. Don’t miss out on this amazing spot.

Wonderful stay!

Windpsalm Acres

We loved our stay at Windpsalm! Our family of four spent 4 nights at Fen’s property and had a wonderful time. The island is peaceful and beautiful and so wonderfully QUIET! We spotted plenty of wildlife, countless birds, and so many Monarch butterflies. Nearby Big Sandy Bay beach was one of the most stunning beaches I’ve visited anywhere. We especially enjoyed having access to the kayaks, canoe, and bicycles to explore the island. Fen was a kind, helpful, and accommodating host, always available to answer our questions. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you for a memorable stay.

Camping with family

Windpsalm Acres

One of the greatest trip. 10 out of 10 on everything. Fen was a great guy. We got clear directions and proper management. Pre-built tents and accessories will reduce your time on everything but with great memories. Kayaking, cycling, fishing on a lovely island. Will definitely go again.
