Offering a serviced camping site for tents for up to 4 persons, with a firepit, hammock chairs, rustic toilet, shower, a large deck with bar-height table and chairs, floating dock, garbage and recycling bins, canoe and private 1.5 acre lake! Parking is right at the campsite, following a 400m tractorway over grass. This tractorway enters and exits onto the county road independent of the host’s private home driveway. Our small, bio-diverse farm is in a quiet location but only 10km from shops and cafes. Our property is run with minimal chemical inputs. The lake supports fish, turtles, thousands of tree frogs in the spring, and musk rat, woodland ducks, and heron. You may also see rare bobolinks, barn swallows, and bats in summer. Star gazing is very good, there is very little light pollution. Tall poplar trees provide shade and shelter as well as pleasant sounds of the wind. Footwear is advised. Conditions underfoot are usually good, we do try to keep poison ivy in check but it does pop up here and there.

The best camping in Battle Hill National Historic Site, BC guide

Overview

About

Battle Hill National Historic Site is located on a rolling landscape in the valley of Battle Hill near Highway 2 (also known as Longwoods Road) west of Wardsville, Ontario. The site is associated with the Battle of Longwoods, which occurred on March 4, 1814 on an open landscape near what is now Battle Hill Creek. Following a short skirmish between the British Regulars and American forces, the British were forced to retreat back to Delaware, while the Americans abandoned their advance and retreated to Detroit. There are no known extant remains of the battle; however, the site is marked by a plaque and cairn positioned on a small rise of land and surrounded by an iron fence. Official recognition refers to a polygon of land near Highway 2 in Wardsville Ontario.

When to go

The Battle Hill National Historic Site is accessible year-round, offering a unique experience in every season. The summer months bring warm weather perfect for exploring, while the fall transforms the landscape into a tapestry of vibrant colors. Winter offers a stark, peaceful beauty, but be prepared for cold temperatures. Spring's mild weather is ideal for witnessing the valley's rejuvenation.

Know before you go

  • Ensure you have proper attire for the season, as weather can vary and influence your exploration of the historic site.
  • While the site is accessible throughout the year, check ahead for any seasonal closures or special events that might affect your visit.
  • Accessibility may vary across different areas of the site, so inquire ahead if you require special accommodations.
  • There are no camping facilities at Battle Hill National Historic Site, but the area offers other accommodations nearby.
