We are fortunate to call this ecologically diverse and extremely private piece of land home, and we are excited to welcome you here to explore the magic for yourself. Our 50 acre parcel would have comprised much of the maple bush for the original 400 acre farm property. The stone fence rows and laneways lined with large boulders are remnants from the days or horse drawn carriages, likely put in place hundreds of years ago. In addition to the maple bush there are several acres of cedar bush, open wild flower meadows, as well as fields dotted with larger shade-giving trees. A small half acre of the property is used to farm fresh cut flowers which you are welcome to visit. We also have a kitchen garden, 10 egg-laying hens, 2 very friendly outdoor cats, and our black lab Abby who will likely greet you with a bark (she is very friendly). In the summer months you can enjoy a handful of lakes for swimming and boating all within 10-15 minutes of our property. We are happy to share details and locations. We are conveniently located just off of Highway 10, ten minutes north of Markdale and 25 minutes south of Owen Sound. If you are headed north to Tobermory, we are a perfect mid way point if coming from Toronto, with Tobermory just an hour and a half north of us.

There are two campsites on the property, both just a short drive from two local beaches. Bass Road Beach is a rocky beach with deep water, while Silversides Point Road Beach offers a sandy shoreline with shallow water that gradually deepens. There's also a public boat launch across the road from my house—it's the next driveway up. Inner Woods Site To access this site, park on the right side of my driveway and follow the trail for about 2 minutes. The site is fairly spacious and includes tables, chairs, a fire pit (I have a burn permit—just let me know if you'd like to use it!), a portable camp toilet, a camp shower, a tent, and screened hammocks (available throughout the summer if you'd like to use them). The surrounding area is somewhat marshy, so be sure to bring bug spray. Turtle Pond Nest Site To access this site, park on the other side of my property, just past the Brakenfor Turtles sign and before my main driveway at 156. The site includes a fire pit (burn permit available—just let me know!), a tent area, and overlooks a peaceful turtle pond. This site backs onto a swamp, so bug spray is highly recommended. It's suitable for a small RV, but please note that there are no septic hookups. I may be able to provide electricity depending on the extension cord needed. Water is available from a hose, and it's about a 2-minute walk from my driveway to the site. I live on the property and am happy to help with anything you need. You can charge your devices at my house, and I can run a hose close to either campsite if you need water. I'm also very familiar with the area and can recommend great hikes, help you book time at the national park, and share other local tips. Just ask! I look forward to welcoming you!

Learn more about this land: !!!!!!ONLY area A is still available to camp on!!!! The land is framed by the historic Bruce Trail to the north, Billy Bishop airport (only a few small prop-private flights daily) to the west, Concession 6 N on the East, and Highway 26 on the south end of the property.   There is a forest on the north end of our land where the bruce trail runs through (C) and the farm sits more to the south end (A). There's a pine-forest that one has to hike into (B- see map in photos). Generally, the area is close to swimming in Lake Huron, the property is large (100 hectares) and the neighborhood is large grain. This means you can have a chunk of the forest all to yourself. For area A you can drive in the main driveway and park by the house/ barn or on the field. Or walk to a camping spot. No 4 wheel drive is necessary. Please stay away from the Barn as it is dangerous to be close by.  For area C you can access the fields from Concession 6 N at one of the gates past (North) of the driveway. You will need a 4-wheel drive to not get stuck in the field. Please do not park on the agricultural field.  For area B You will park your car behind a gate right off Highway 26 and hike in to find a site to pitch a tent. There are about 3 spots for cars behind the first set of Pines. You might need a 4-wheel drive.  It's completely up to you where you set up camp. We ask that you do not light any open fires as this is a coniferous forest. Feel free to walk in as far you want to find your spot. If you walk too far you will come up to a field and the farmhouse. We ask that you do not camp on the agricultural fields.

Great camping spot in a quiet neighborhood. It felt very private even though we were parked close to the road in our van. Solid ground for parking area. Happened to stay while the fireflies and dragonflies were on full display. We even had the cutest green heron stop by at sunset and sunrise.

We had a wonderful stay and would happily return. The site felt private and peaceful, with beautiful views over the surrounding fields and some incredible sunsets. The bunkie was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Having a fridge, climate control, and access to the hot tub made the stay especially enjoyable. Pedro was a friendly and responsive host. When we asked about the hot tub temperature, he adjusted it for us quickly. Firewood was provided, which made relaxing around the campfire easy. The location was close enough to Port Elgin for coffee, breakfast, and exploring local shops, while still feeling like a quiet escape from everyday life. It was windy when we arrived, but once things settled down, we enjoyed a campfire, stargazing, and a long soak in the hot tub. Overall, a great spot for a relaxing weekend away.

Weekend Trip to Back 2 Zen

This is certainly a nice private area hidden away from everyone. I never saw anyone the entire time I was there which is what I was looking for. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate at all while I was there so I didn’t get to explore much beyond the campsite. My hosts were responsive to my questions and have a nice area laid out for camping. One very important thing to note is their location next to a military base. Maybe I just had poor timing but the time I was there had a whole lot of automatic weapons fire as well as loud explosions. Perhaps this doesn’t occur very often but I experienced it and people with noise sensitivity, like myself, would best be aware of the possibility.

We had such a beautiful experience staying here for 4 nights! The campsite itself was amazing peaceful, spacious, and surrounded by trees and the beautiful sound of the flowing river beside our site. It felt very secluded and relaxing, but at the same time we still felt the warm sense of community from the other campers at Hidden Valley. Bill was incredibly welcoming from the moment we arrived. He helped us bring all our stuff in using his side-by-side, which made settling in so much easier. Throughout our stay, he was very kind and thoughtful he even checked on us on the third day to make sure we were doing okay and had enough firewood. Speaking of firewood, he generously provided us with plenty for the rest of our stay, so we never had to worry. One of the highlights of our trip was renting kayaks. Bill drove us in his amazing truck to the kayaking starting point, and the best part was that the route ended right back at our campsite, so there was no hassle bringing the kayaks back ourselves. Such a convenient and fun experience! Another unforgettable moment was when fellow campers helped us find a lost phone in the river everyone there was just so friendly and helpful. And bonus points for the cows standing by the gate they made the place feel even more special and charming. Overall, this was such a fun and memorable camping trip. Beautiful location, wonderful host, and an experience we’ll definitely never forget!

Staying at Pedro’s felt like an exclusive adult backyard “cabin out.” Pedro’s hospitality was second to none. We felt right at home from the moment of our arrival. The cabin is perfect for unplugging with the comforts of electricity, light, mini fridge, heater & A.C. The outdoor shower and toilet we’re a highlight - again well equipped and clean. Having access to the outdoor BBQ & Grill over the fire made for some yummy dinners. Ask Pedro where to get the best meat in the area. Who isn’t a fan of a hot tub under the stars and twinkle lights. A relaxing perk that was used every evening we were there. Behind the cabin offers two muskoka chairs tucked in the trees overlooking a field where you can catch a beautiful sunset. There are chickens and an array of other animals that were also cool to visit. Saugeen River Access #3 is a short drive away as well as another access point just down the road. Don’t sleep on this sweet little piece of paradise, with Port Elgin only 10 mins away there is so much to do in this beautiful area. Can’t wait to return.

Lion's Head Provincial Park camping guide

Overview

About

Lion's Head Provincial Park, a nature reserve on the Bruce Peninsula, offers visitors a unique blend of adventure and serenity. With its ancient white cedars and rare plant species, the park is a haven for hikers and nature enthusiasts. The towering cliffs and rock formations provide a dramatic backdrop for exploration, while the absence of campgrounds ensures a truly wild experience.

When to go

The best time to visit Lion's Head Provincial Park is during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall, when the trails are accessible and the flora is in full bloom. Winter visits can be challenging due to snow and ice, but offer a serene, snowy landscape for the well-prepared adventurer.

Know before you go

Be aware that Lion's Head is a day-use park only, with no overnight camping facilities available.
Remember to pack out all waste as there are no trash bins provided in the park.
Check for any fire bans or boil water advisories before your visit.
Wear sturdy footwear to navigate the rocky terrain and protect the delicate ecosystem.
Plan your visit between 8:30am to 5pm to make the most of daylight hours for your adventures.
