Learn more about this land: Rustic bunkie located on 2 acres, is nestled among the trees beside a small, crystal clear lake. With 700 ft of untouched shoreline, privacy is second to none. From this lake, you can access 3 other lakes by provided canoe/kayak without portage. The site is 35 min. from Algonquin Park and 11 km from MKC, the world-famous white water paddling centre. 10x10 main floor with sleeping loft. Solar power provides lighting & a propane furnace for cool nights. Solar lights outside provide ambient lighting-may be turned off if preferred. The call of the loons & the barred owl will be your lullaby as you drift off to sleep after a day of hiking, paddling, or swimming.  There is no running water, you will have to bring your own drinking water. You will need to bring everything you require for cooking, eating and washing dishes. There is no sink, stove, or BBQ on site. As the site is off-grid, there are no appliances. There is a split log bench beside the self-contained fire pit.  Please bring your own firewood, matches/lighter,  and/or firestarter materials. Small fires only please, as this is a well-treed location. Fires must be extinguished prior to going to bed — there is a bucket by the firepit. If you are wondering if something is there, I suggest you reach out to check with me before arrival. There is a new private outhouse on site. The outhouse is past the bunkie along the path. Solar lights work with the flick of a switch — one switch by the door, one by the bed. You have access to 2 kayaks and 1 canoe, 2 adult lifejackets. These are located on the waterfront between the bunkie and the house @260 Matcheski Road. Please return these as you found them after each use. They are shared with the guests at the house. It is a natural shoreline at the bunkie, with a sandy bottom — pretty good swimming, actually! Absolutely no harsh chemicals/detergents in the water! Please leave the site tidy and as you found it. Take your garbage and recycling. This is a small lakeside community —  no loud music, please. Respect the solitude!  Please respect the natural setting — leave it as you found it, do not cut live growth.

40 acres of off grid property in the monteagle valley. We live year round on the property, growing food, tending the apple orchard, and wild foraging. Campsites nestled in the woods with lots of trails to explore. Dogs love our series of trails. Wake up to the birds and fall asleep to the stars. Less than 2 minute drive to Salmon Trout Lake or 15 minutes to Papineau Beach or Fosters Beach, both great for kids. Great area for canoeing, hiking and fishing. 15 minutes from Maynooth and Bancroft, 30 minutes to Algonquin Park. Queer and 420 friendly. If you're looking for a place to get away from it all we'd love to be your hosts. Multiple sites so great for groups and open to overlanders and truck camping rigs.

Barron River Provincial Park camping guide

Overview

About

Embark on a journey through the majestic Barron River Provincial Park, where the granite cliffs tower above and the river's gentle flow beckons adventurers. Here, you can traverse the scenic landscapes, indulge in the thrill of canoeing, and cast a line in the hopes of a bountiful catch. The park's rich tapestry of sub-arctic flora clings to the cliffs, creating a unique ecosystem for explorers to discover.

When to go

The best time to visit Barron River Provincial Park is during the warmer months, from late spring to early autumn, when the park's full splendour is on display. Winter offers a serene, frosty landscape, but be prepared for cold temperatures and limited access to some areas of the park.

Know before you go

  • Check for any active advisories, such as fire bans or boil water notices, before your visit.
  • Remember that the park is a protected area; respect the natural habitat and leave no trace.
  • Wear appropriate footwear and clothing for hiking along the rugged terrain.
  • Cell service may be limited, so plan accordingly and inform someone of your travel itinerary.
  • Accessibility may vary across different areas of the park; contact the park office for specific information.
