Cranberry Camp is located 7 kms past the village of Pointe au Baril. It’s surrounded by Ontario native forest (the “bush”) and wetlands in the hinterlands of Georgian Bay. We love to share this beautiful part of the world with visitors! We are 3kms from Sturgeon bay Provincial Park (a nice beach!) and 3kms from the Bayfield Inlet public launch on Georgian Bay (visit the iconic pink rocks and windswept trees of Georgian Bay). We came to this area because of the fresh air and clean water. Visitors to the area should be aware that you cannot see any of the Georgian Bay coastline from the highway or roads. We highly recommend you get out on the water in a boat of some kind (there is water access near here for canoes, kayaks and other boats). We also recommend that visitors go to the French River Provincial Park to understand the unique history and culture of the area. That park is 35-40 min north from here and has a lovely small museum/interpretive centre and a footbridge over the French River. This secondary highway (ON 529) is fairly quiet and decent for cycling. It's very quiet north of the ON 529A turn-off! Cranberry Camp also has a small house, a guest lodge for retreats (we host healthy living and healthy building workshops), 2 lovely and private recreational vehicles (a 24’ Jayco and a 27’ Cougar) as well as a tiny home. All spaces are scent-free, low VOC and no WiFi. We help people create healthy homes and buildings. Hipcamp sites are accessed from hard-packed dirt/gravel driveway either perpendicular or parallel to the road. An outhouse contains a composting toilet (using the Humanure system), a solar light and jug of water for handwashing. We love to host people getting away from the city or taking exploratory road trips.

Wake up to the echoing calls of loons and take in the stunning vistas of the Algonquin Highlands from your secluded lakeside retreat! This exclusive dome is uniquely situated on the serene ‘Louie’ lake, surrounded by pristine crown land forests. With no neighbours for miles, you’ll enjoy unparalleled solitude and tranquility, making it the perfect escape into nature. Nestled between Algonquin Provincial Park and the Muskokas, there is an abundance of nearby activities and attractions for nature lovers alike including hiking and biking trails, fishing, and captivating wildlife viewing and photography opportunities (Especially the fall colours and Northern lights). Escape to the perfect fusion of nature and modern comforts that awaits you! *Please be aware that May to June is bug season. We understand that insects, particularly black flies and mosquitoes, can be an inconvenience and may impact the outdoor experience for some guests. Unfortunately, insect activity is a natural part of Northern Ontario's environment during certain times of the year and, much like the weather, is beyond our control. While some guests are not particularly bothered by it, others may find it more noticeable. We encourage all prospective guests to familiarize themselves with what to expect during bug/black fly season so they can make an informed decision about when to book and to be better prepared.

This was our second time camping here, and it definitely won’t be our last. The campsite was clean and well maintained, and we were lucky enough to have a site right by the water, which made the whole experience even better. Lisa, the owner, was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and you can tell she genuinely cares about her guests having a great stay. We had another fantastic camping trip with our group of five and are already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend!

This was one of the best places I have stayed at. Beautiful piece of property; they have everything you could need (except I would recommend bringing a hatchet/axe if you plan on having a fire), and it was nice to disconnect. It was incredibly private, quiet, and relaxing. We got to see a couple of loons, a moose and Benny the beaver popped up! Buggy, but that is to be expected out in the woods. Will definitely be back in the future!!

This was our 2nd time at this gem. We stayed at site#4 this time and it was very spacious. All day sun and great access to the lake. I cooked all our meals over the large fire pit. The wood that we ordered was very seasoned and burned great. Spent a lot of time on the lake with our fishing kayaks and caught many pike. There are no cottages on this part of Vernon Lake so it was very peaceful. The lake is clean and great for swimming which we did quite often. Thanks again for sharing this gem with us again.
