Enjoy a taste of quiet country life without being far from town.
Located near Belle River in Essex County, our family-owned property offers a comfortable furnished bunkie, spacious camping among mature trees, open lawns, a small pond and plenty of room to slow down. It is a relaxed place to stay while visiting family or friends nearby, attending an event in the area, enjoying a fishing trip, or exploring the communities and attractions of Windsor-Essex.
Stay in the Bunkie
The bunkie is a spacious, open-plan cabin with sleeping, living, dining and kitchen areas together under a warm wood ceiling. It offers more comfort than traditional camping while still providing the feeling of a casual country retreat.
The kitchenette includes hot and cold municipal water, a microwave, toaster oven, dishes, cookware and a dining table. Guests also have access to a gas BBQ for outdoor cooking.
Just outside the cabin is an enclosed outdoor shower. A clean, self-contained outdoor washroom is shared by guests and includes a toilet, urinal, handwashing sink, mirror, lighting, ventilation and running water.
Step outside to enjoy the surrounding lawn, mature trees, pond and shaded gazebo. The setting is peaceful and rural, but you are still close enough to Belle River to pick up groceries, go out for a meal or spend time along the Lake St. Clair waterfront.
Bring Your Tent or RV
Campers can choose a spot in the large treed area behind the pond, with room for tents and appropriately sized RVs.
Fresh municipal water is available in the camping area. There are no electrical or sewer hookups, so RV guests should arrive prepared for dry camping.
Several groups can be accommodated, although the number of bookings will be kept limited to preserve the space and relaxed atmosphere of the property. The washroom is shared with other guests, and access routes and campsite locations can be selected after arrival.
Relax Here or Explore the Region
You could spend a quiet day on the property, sit beside the pond, read in the gazebo, cook outdoors or enjoy an evening around the fire. The property also makes a convenient base for exploring Belle River, Lakeshore and the rest of Essex County.
The Belle River waterfront offers a beach, pier, marina, walking areas, playgrounds and a splash pad. Lake St. Clair is popular for boating, fishing, paddling and waterfront recreation, with public marina and boat-launch facilities available in Belle River.
Farther south, guests can explore the Lake Erie shoreline and Essex County’s wine country. The Lake Erie North Shore region is home to more than 20 wineries, many located along scenic country roads near the lake.
Point Pelee National Park makes a rewarding day trip for walking, cycling, paddling, birdwatching and experiencing the southernmost point of mainland Canada. The wider region also includes beaches, conservation areas, wetlands and trails for guests who enjoy spending time outdoors.
Windsor is also within reach for restaurants, shopping, entertainment, cultural attractions and events. Guests travelling with the appropriate documents can continue across the border into Detroit for professional sports, concerts, museums, neighbourhoods such as Greektown and Corktown, and other big-city experiences.
Whether you are coming to the region for a family visit, a wedding or celebration, a weekend on the water, a tour of wine country or simply a change of pace, the bunkie offers a comfortable place to return to at the end of the day.
Good to Know
This is a family-owned, shared property rather than a commercial campground or secluded wilderness retreat. Depending on bookings, bunkie guests and campers may be staying on the property at the same time and will share the washroom and some outdoor amenities.
The campsites have access to fresh water but do not have electricity or sewer service. RV size and access should be confirmed before arrival.
The pond adds to the peaceful setting, but we should clarify whether swimming, fishing or paddling will be permitted before mentioning those activities in the final listing.
