Marten River Escapes offers six waterfront campsites with 30 amp hydro service and three non waterfront campsites, one with 30 amp and two with 50 amp service. A couple are seasonal sites, most are transient sites. All have access to potable water faucets. A shared comfort station with flush toilets and showers with hot on demand water is centrally located. There is no sewer connections but we do have a honey wagon and guests can access dumping into our onsite septic tank. We also have one rustic glamping cabin in the campground area and a new 14 unit building under construction on the southeast portion of the property. There is an on site restaurant offering dine-in, patio seating, and take out service. (seasonally operated - hours vary depending on the season) In addition to the amenities available on the campsite you will also have access to enjoy the common shared areas of the property. Our property boasts 1000' of waterfront surrounded by crown land. We have a new shared dock with Muskoka chairs and a (typical Northern Ontario) swimming area in our semi-secluded bay. We recommend water shoes for those who go swimming and to bring a fishing rod (and fishing license) if you want to give that sport a go. A sunshade pergola was just added to the main dock area with several other seating areas scattered around the property providing relaxing water views and spectacular sunsets, all available for your enjoyment. There is a large open area to enjoy a game of frisbee or other lawn games. We also have a few water toys. A canoe, a kayak, a peddle boat and two small (fishing type) motor boats are available for a small rental FEE. You must have a valid boaters license in order to be able to rent the motor boat. All water equipment renters must sign a renters agreement prior to use. Due to sizing and proper fit, for safety we do recommend guests bring their own life jackets/pfd's but we do have some that can be used. We have a private boat launch and for a small extra fee you can reserve a dedicated boat slip space during your stay for your own personal watercraft. Boats or other water toy equipment are NOT to be left on the shore. A few local public boat launches into different lakes are also nearby. For those powersports enthusiasts (ATV's, SXS etc.) there are 100's of km's of crown land trails accessible from our property. We do NOT rent ATV's. There is space to park ONE passenger vehicle along with your rv/trailer or tents on each campsite. VERY large trucks will limit the usable lawn space available on the site. Extra passenger vehicles and/or equipment trailers must park in overflow parking.

Welcome to Peddler's Passage Farm & Stay! We operate a small-scale market/permaculture farm set on a beautiful 400-acre property. We are located in Calvin Township, between North Bay and Mattawa, on the fringes of Algonquin Provincial Park. The growing farm currently covers 1.5 acres of our scenic property. We grow a wide variety of crops here—from fresh asparagus and greens in early spring to juicy raspberries in midsummer, ending the season with potatoes and onions to cook over the fire at your private campsite. Our property boasts 100 acres of rolling pastures filled with stunning views and some of the best sunsets in Calvin, as well as another 300 acres of forest with kilometres of maintained trails. These trails feature old-growth trees, three large beaver ponds, wild blueberries, abundant fungi, and bench seating where you can take a break and observe the many species of wildlife that inhabit the area. The trail system offers varying degrees of difficulty, from double-wide, smooth trails to a 3 km rugged hiking trail that loops around our large beaver pond complex. The trails can be enjoyed during the winter months as well, with many groomed and maintained for private, peaceful cross-country skiing. Included in your stay are fresh-picked, in-season produce and farm-fresh eggs, all grown right here at Peddler's Passage. There are also endless opportunities within a short drive of the farm, including Eau Claire Gorge, Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park, and fishing, swimming, and canoeing on many Northern Ontario lakes and rivers. The list goes on—come enjoy what this little township has to offer and experience true wilderness in this hidden diamond in the rough. Hope to see you on the farm!

Sonshine Homestead

15. Sonshine Homestead

41km from Alexander Lake Forest Provincial Park · 4 sites · Tents, RVs
Welcome to Sonshine Homestead — a peaceful, back-to-basics camping experience nestled in the quiet forest and brushland of Northern Ontario. Our property offers a growing collection of off-grid tent sites, each tucked among trees, giving you room to breathe and unplug. These are no-frills campsites — no power, no running water, and no built-in amenities (Outhouses near sites). You bring your own gear, and we provide the space, the stillness, and the sky. You’ll wake to birds chirping, the wind through the brush, and maybe a crowing rooster. We have walking trails, two ponds, and lots of open space to explore. Some sites are drive-in, others require a short walk. We’re surrounded by crown land just a short drive away, with trails perfect for hiking or ATVing. Within an hour you’ll find countless lakes for swimming, fishing, paddling, or just floating the day away. The land around us is full of life with cattle, horses, and sheep to mention a few. Sonshine Homestead sits in the heart of a small farming and Amish community, and the local culture reflects that. On Saturdays, don’t miss the Powassan Farmers’ Market (9am–1pm) for produce, meats, baked goods, preserves, and handmade treasures. And if you take the scenic route, you’ll pass farmstands in every direction — most on the honour system, stocked with whatever the land’s giving that week. You won’t find bells and whistles here — but if you’re after quiet land, fresh air, and a patch of ground to pitch your tent, we’d love to host you. We’re growing slowly and simply — like good things should. Kids under 13 stay free, because around here, growing is kind of the point. If you’re a larger family and need a bit more space, just reach out — we’ll do our best to make it work.
