For the last 26 years we have lived here on our 6 acres of property where our Maple Sugar Bush allows us to produce our very own maple syrup every spring. [Side note: The sugar shack itself has been on the property for over 40 years.] We also raise a small but varied collection of farm animals, grow vegetables, and operate a small Market Booth that sells handmade "Canadian Themed" Home Decor goods and Maple Products at the Frontenac Farmer's Market. ( Visit us on Instagram or Facebook @Blackmaplefarm) Our Farm is located on the very edge of the Canadian Shield, so most of the landscape is a rocky, rugged, and naturally wooded. Throughout the property are numerous short, looping, walking trails that meander throughout the Sugar bush, pasture area, 3 season pond, and our farm animal "homes". These trails are perfect for short nature walks, where you'll experience natural wildflowers and plants, see and hear song birds, small animal wildlife and of course, farm life too. We are also located on the edge of the Eastern Ontario "Dark Sky" Area, which means we have a very nice view from the edge of our pasture of the North Sky stars on a clear night, with very minimal light pollution. Our varied collection of farm animals includes; lots of chickens, (including roosters who DO crow in the early morning hours), miniature goats, horses, a couple of barn cats, and a dog. During your stay with us you are welcome to come learn about and interact with our animals and daily farm life, if you so desire, and farm fresh eggs, maple syrup, local honey, and homemade baked goods, are also available to purchase too. (check out our "Extras" Section at booking page.

Black Maple Farm: Pine Grove Site

Tent site · Sleeps 4

Come camp with us, under the BEAUTIFUL grove of Pines, Maples and Oaks here at our Farm. This is the second of 3 Hipcamp sites available on our property and is a TRADITIONAL WALK-IN ONLY CAMPSITE. (ie: Bring your own tent and camping supplies). Unfortunately we WILL NO LONGER accommodate Rooftop Tent Vehicles OR Tents attached to Vehicles, nor trailers for sleeping purposes to be parked on the campsite . You must park your vehicle at the parking areas ONLY and WALK-IN to this TENTS ONLY campsite. It is an easy 2 minute walk from parking area to this site and small wagons are provided to help haul your gear. However, you can rent a traditional "6 person" nylon camping tent (which sleeps 4 adults comfortably on air mattresses) If you choose the tent, it will be set up and ready for your arrival. Please check out this option on the "extras" page. The campfire on site also has a metal cooking grate over an open fire, for those so inclined to cook this way. This campsite is nestled under a forest grove of Pine and Maple trees, and sits near the edge of our horse pasture in our small Maple Sugarbush which is part of our 6-acre family hobby farm. The site is nicely shaded and moderately secluded from farm life and our neighbors. Please note, we are NOT wilderness secluded, we are a RURAL/COUNTRYSIDE property with rural neighbors, whose homes are located in the distance, along the edge of our property. It is the PERFECT spot for a "family friendly get away" to "The Farm" or a leisurely country "couples getaway" to experience a "hobby farm/small homestead" life. Our property is located on the very edge of the Canadian Shield, therefore most of the landscape is slightly rocky, rugged, and naturally wooded. But because we are an active sugarbush where we produces maple syrup every spring, it is NOT densely forested with thick undergrowth, and thus has open visibility throughout the forest, including distant visibility of the other campsite(s) on our property. And you can also see our neighbor's homes in the distance along the edge of our property. However, the property has a conservation area/park-like " feel" to it, with numerous short, looping, walking trails that meander throughout the Sugarbush, pasture area, around our "3 season pond" (ie; it dries up during June, July and August), and of course our farm animal "homes". These trails are perfect for short nature walks, where you'll experience natural wildflowers, see and hear songbirds, small animal wildlife, and of course, farm life too, also *NEW* this season we will be adding as the season progresses, natural art displays, activity centres (games and books) and benches throughout the property so you can meander, then sit, relax and take in the natural world around you. We are also located on the edge of the Eastern Ontario "Dark Sky" Area, which means we have a very nice view from the edge of our pasture of the North Sky stars on a clear night, with very minimal light pollution. We are a small working "hobby farm", therefore we have a small, but varied collection of farm animals, and gardens. We have LOTS of chickens, (including roosters who crow in the early morning hours) 5 miniature goats, 2 horses, a couple of barn cats, and a dog. During your stay with us, if you so desire, you are welcome to come learn about and interact with our animals and daily farm life. (farm fresh eggs, maple syrup, pancake mixes and homemade bread are also available to purchase). Campers should also be aware that we live in a rural area, and NOT a wilderness area. So it is NOT "wilderness quiet" here, but it IS countryside quiet. We are in close proximity (hearing distance) to a local 2 lane highway that does produce minimal background traffic noise during the day, and morning hours, but is almost non-existent of noise at night (after 7pm). We continue to strive to create a "unique" camping/glamping experience on our farm. We construct natural privacy "screens" throughout the property to create a more "private/secluded feeling while on your site. PLEASE REMEMBER, we have FARM ANIMALS that make noise (roosters crowing anytime day OR night, goats bleeting) Farm "smells", (manure). BUT.... that IS the "Charm of the Farm" :-) There are also SO many local options available for recreational activities and visiting historic sites off the property. We have 2 local lakes, with swimming and boating options, (7 min drive). Biking and hiking areas, including the Cataraqui Trail, the K and P Trail, and the Rideau Trail, Gould Lake Conservation Area. All of which are within a 10- 15 minute drive of our home. Frontenac Provincial Park is a 25-minute drive away, with more rugged interior day hiking trails. Local Canoe & kayak rentals are 25 mins away. Local restaurants, unique local shops, a brewery, Wilton Cheese Factory, gas, grocery and drug stores are all a 5 minute drive away. A little farther away is: ~The Nationally Historic City of Kingston, aka "The Limestone City" which located at the head of the St Lawrence River & Seaway on the east end of Lake Ontario, is home to many historic sites and museums such as; Fort Henry, RMC, Queen's University, CFB Kingston, Portsmouth Olympic Harbour, and the "INFAMOUS" Kingston Penitentiary and Kingston Haunted Walk, is only a 20-minute drive away. ~The FAMOUS Thousand Islands National Park - 51 mins away, and Gananoque, Ontario -Gateway to the 1000 Islands- is 35 minutes away. ~ Sandbanks Provincial Park with its famous fresh water beaches and sand dunes is 75mins away, and is located within Prince Edward County, which is also famously home to MANY unique & local wineries, breweries, orchards and artisan shops and boutiques.- 54 mins away. You certainly will not be bored or lacking things to do and see both on and off the property.

Tent site · Sleeps 4

This site is situated in the heart of our Maple Sugar Bush, and nestled amongst the 200+ year old maple trees. It is fairly flat and spacious with lots of room to set up a large camping tent. This is the second of 3 Hipcamp sites available on our property and is a TRADITIONAL WALK-IN ONLY CAMPSITE. (ie: Bring your own tent and camping supplies). Unfortunately we WILL NOT accommodate Rooftop Tent Vehicles OR Tents attached to Vehicles, nor trailers for sleeping purposes to be parked on the campsite . You must park your vehicle at the parking areas ONLY and WALK-IN to this TENTS ONLY campsite. It is an easy 1 minute walk from parking area to this site and small wagons are provided to help haul your gear. There is a picnic table and a campfire pit on site, that also has a metal cooking grate over an open fire, for those so inclined to cook this way. First night stay comes with 1 complimentary bag of firewood. More firewood can be purchased for a nominal fee, we do not allow outside firewood to be brought onto property to protect our forest trees from potential insect infestation. We provide a large 5 gallon jug of drinking water, which is easily refillable by us, free of charge. The site is nicely shaded and moderately secluded from farm life and our neighbors. There is a compostable dry toilet outhouse, with a handwashing station that is shared by other campers staying on property. And a hot water on demand outdoor shower house that is also shared by other campers on site. This is a Pet Friendly site, BUT WE ARE A WORKING FARM WITH LOTS OF LIVESTOCK, THEREFORE WE HAVE A STRICT ON LEASH ALWAYS, PET POLICY, THAT IS STRICTLY ENFORCED, NO EXCEPTIONS. This is both for your pets protection and our farm animals protection.

Cabin · Sleeps 2 · 1 bedroom · 1 bed · 1 toilet

*NEW* THIS SPRING!!! THE GRAND OPENING OF OUR NEWEST GLAMPSITE, JUST IN TIME FOR THE 2024 SPRING AND SUMMER CAMPING SEASON. This tiny rustic OFF GRID cabin also known as a "Bunkie", is the PERFECT spot for a leisurely "Couples Get Away to The Farm" or to experience a "hobby farm/small homestead" life. This glampsite sits on the edge of our horse pasture next to our small Maple Sugarbush which is part of our 6-acre family hobby farm. The site is nicely secluded from farm life and our neighbors. This is the most secluded of our "glamp" sites on the property, and is located overlooking our horse pasture with a perfect view of the North Sky on the southern edge of the Eastern Ontario Dark Skies area. It's a perfect place for star gazing, thus the name "Stargazer Bunkie". Please note, we are NOT wilderness secluded, we are a RURAL/COUNTRYSIDE property with rural neighbors, whose homes are located in the distance, along the edge of our property. We are also within hearing distance of a local highway, which is normally not too noisy, but it is busiest with traffic noise in the morning and evening rush hour times. This is a "WALK-IN only site, but it is an easy, less than a 2 minute walk from the parking area to the Bunkie, and we provide small wagons so that guests can easily move their gear to their site. This tiny cabin bunkie sleeps 2 people in a comfy DOUBLE bed, and comes with all the amenities to have a great "glamping" experience. We provide all the bed linens, cooking and eating utensils (pots, pans, dishes, cutlery), drinking water, plus a propane BBQ and campstove, and a camp food cooler. All you need to bring is food and ice, and your all set, OR if you prefer you can dine out/takeout from one of our many great local restaurants that are all located within a 20 min drive or less. This Glampsite also has its own private deck area, and firepit, and its own private dry compost toilet outhouse. The Bunkie has solar lighting, and battery powered lights/lanterns and a small portable power pack so that guests can recharge their cell phones. During the cooler seasons we provide a small propane heater to take "the chill" of the Bunkie for your comfort. Due to the tiny nature of this bunkie, and the very close proximity to our horse pasture, unfortunately NO PETS are allowed when you stay on this site. There is also an outdoor shower house (with a hot water on demand propane hot water tank) located on property and is shared by all campers on property. Please Note: OUTDOOR SHOWER IS NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL AFTER MAY 1st. To see more details and videos of what our property has to offer you can check us out on Instagram or Facebook @Black Maple Farm.

Lisa's farm is a peaceful retreat for the noise of life. Be prepared to hike a little but it's worth the walk. The Stargazer cabin is beautifully setup. Cozy and well stocked. And her bread is amazing!

Loved the site ( clean with hot shower and outhouse) and surrounding area ( great small town with lots of hiking nearby) . The animals were great. Lisa and her mom were sweet and quickly answered.

If you're looking to get off the grid go and relax at Lisa's Stargazer cabin. It was so relaxing. The opportunity to see the stars so bright is exciting. Her horse Tango which is next to the cabin is a joy to watch. We didn't interact with the goats or chickens but we walked right by them on they way to our spot. If we're back in the area I know I'll try to book this spot again.
