Sparrow Lake Camp is situated on the southernmost tip of the majestic Canadian Shield. The site is known to have been a campground for bands of the Huron people prior to the European intrusion. It is considered probable that Samuel de Champlain, the first European to explore Huronia, spent a night on this site in the 17th Century.In 1892, what would become the west side of the current property was sold by pioneer Captain Thomas Stanton to Toronto's renowned Massey family to act as their summer resort. The resort sported the main lodge, dining room, and cottages and was only accessible by train and steamer. From the onset, the Masseys used the site as a summer retreat for the Young Men's Bible League of the Central Methodist Church. Today, the property is a thriving summer camp that also offers overnight tent stays with stunning lake views.

Weekend Trip to Rugby House Retreat
My husband and I spent a lovely weekend in Oro-Medonte, including a stay at The Poor House. We were warmly greeted by Renée and Warren when we arrived and given a tour of the property. We returned from our dinner to have a nice fire (could have used some paper to get it started, but the wood was dry and burned well). It was a cold night and we would have benefitted from a few heavier blankets. We were able to make breakfast using the camp stove provided.

We had the most amazing stay at this tiny cabin! It was the perfect romantic and cozy getaway for two, and such a special place to stay for our engagement photo shoot. The cabin had everything we could have hoped for to make our weekend feel relaxing, and memorable.
Angie and Arnold were absolutely incredible hosts! They went above and beyond to help bring our vision for our engagement photos to life. They gave us wonderful suggestions for beautiful spots around the property and even got the fire started for us for our photos while we were off taking photos in the forest. Those thoughtful little touches made our experience that much more special, and we truly appreciated how accommodating and helpful they were.
If you’re looking for a cozy, romantic escape surrounded by nature, this is the perfect place! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and are so grateful to Angie and Arnold for helping make such a special time in our lives even more memorable. We would absolutely recommend staying here and would love to come back! ❤️ - from Connor and Sarah

We booked Cari’s cabin for our six-year anniversary getaway, hoping to enjoy some hiking and fall scenery, and it was everything we were looking for! The cabin is beautiful, cute, and cozy, tucked away in a gorgeous, secluded woodland. It was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy a peaceful fall escape.
The cabin was incredibly well-equipped, to the point that we definitely overpacked! We joked that we could have shown up with just our food and clothes and been perfectly fine. Cari really has thought of everything, and the cabin had everything we could need and more.
The drive into the property was an adventure in itself, with some big hills and bumpy roads. One small suggestion would be to add a sign indicating where to turn, as we continued straight and briefly got ourselves stuck in the fallen leaves! That was entirely our mistake, though, and all part of the adventure.
Our only minor complaint was the outdoor shower. The temperature and water pressure were actually better than some other outdoor showers we’ve experienced in the fall, but the location felt a little awkward for privacy. Thankfully, we only needed to use it after our guest (my sister, who stayed the first night) had left.
The location was fantastic for exploring the area, too! We arrived early and visited Screaming Heads before checking in, then spent the following day hiking at Arrowhead Provincial Park, just a 20-minute drive away.
Overall, this was the perfect fall getaway and anniversary trip. The cabin was cozy, peaceful, well-equipped, and surrounded by beautiful scenery. We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing woodland escape!

Every detail of this place was thoughtful and intentional. Tim has made this little cabin the perfect oasis with everything you need to get away from the hustle of the city and just relax. The stove was lit and going when we arrived, The sauna was such a lovely touch grass on an autumn evening, we even woke up to a family of deer grazing outside of our window and it is just a short walk from some beautiful trails.

Overview
About
Embark on an adventure through the untamed wilderness of Queen Elizabeth II Wildlands Provincial Park. With over 33,505 hectares of diverse habitats, this park is a haven for backcountry enthusiasts. Navigate rugged canoe routes, traverse over 100 km of the Ganaraska Hiking Trail, and immerse yourself in the serenity of semi-wilderness camping amid pristine landscapes.
When to go
The best time to visit Queen Elizabeth II Wildlands Provincial Park is during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall, when the park's natural beauty is at its peak and the trails are most accessible. Winter offers a serene, snowy landscape, but be prepared for cold temperatures and limited access.
Know before you go
- Ensure you have the necessary skills for backcountry navigation as the park is non-operating with no maintained facilities.
- Cellular service is unreliable; plan your trip with safety and communication in mind.
- Adhere to Leave No Trace principles to protect the park's fragile ecosystems.
- Check for any seasonal fire bans or boil water advisories before your visit.
- Be aware that the park is a natural environment park, so amenities are limited and conservation is a priority.
