What a wonderful place to stay. Very safe and peaceful. Clean facilities; rustic but tastefully decorated. Would love to come back and stay longer. Jane is a delightful and responsive host. Word to the wise, though, use the physical address for GPS, not the Hipcamp app.

Weekend Trip to Rusty's Red Deer Lake Getaway

Cabin was nicely furnished and fit me, my husband, our large dog, and 8 month old son very well. Large mostly flat grassy area was perfect for the dog and the baby. We saw Kevin when we arrived & he was very nice and helpful. After that, we didn’t see a single person for the 3 days we were there. Saying hi to rusty on the way to the lake was cute and made me laugh. Not a very groomed trail, was nice and easy enough but definitely tripping hazards for anyone with any mobility issues. There is also a large step up into the cabin so bring a sturdy stool if you’re coming with youngins or others who may have a hard time with that. Fire pit came with racks was great for cooking and keeping warm late at night. We had a great time in this private off grid cabin, would definitely come back another time !

Weekend Trip to Lakefront Camping Private Beach

We had the pleasure of staying at Brad and Brenda’s Pergola Lot One this past weekend, and what a slice of heaven it is! The site was incredibly private and even came with our own private beach. We had perfect weather, and the breeze off the bay kept the bugs away. Everything was spotless, the showers and washrooms were clean, the garbage drop-off was secure, and the entire site was neat and tidy. The views were absolutely spectacular, and with all the amenities nearby (including a great butcher shop in town), it couldn’t have been more convenient. Honestly, I’d choose this over a provincial park 10 out of 10 times. We will definitely be back, hopefully next summer. Thank you, Brenda, for such a wonderful stay, hope to see you again next year!

This was a cozy little spot along the lake. Close to the road, but the traffic was not a bother to us. It was great to have the option to use the showers/bathrooms on site! Most importantly, the hosts were extremely kind and generous and made us feel right at home!

1 night at Aubrey Acres @ 71 Golfcourse road,

Beautiful spot with plenty of room to spread out. We loved having a bathroom and taking a walk along the mowed trails to stretch our legs. This is a farm turned into an event space for weddings and such. We had a hard time finding it, the link sent with a pin to the location is incorrect. We had to call the host and get better directions.

My friend and I tented it on a Friday night. Beautiful spot and very private. We were lucky enough to have the whole place to ourselves. A bit noisy at night with the hwy being right there, the only drawback. Hospitality was great. Not much signage, but gps will bring you to the 2 pylons set up and make a left to enter the property.

Amazing experience for my first time camping with a few friends. Scott’s land was very large and very nice to stay on. Will be going back in the future. Scott also spent some time with us and helped us get to know the town. He gave us a permit to enter into the Restoule Provincial Park where there are showers, bathrooms and even a beach.

4.8km from Marten River Provincial Park · 8 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · North Bay, ON

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.
