35km from Sandbanks Provincial Park · 7 sites · Tents, RVsSouth Shore Hideaway - Hay Bay is a quiet private camping property near Napanee, Ontario, designed for campers who enjoy a simple, self-contained outdoor stay rather than a full-service campground.
Located on the south shore of Hay Bay in Lennox and Addington County, the property offers open, mowed campsites, easy Hay Bay access, sunset views, and a relaxed rural setting. It’s a good Eastern Ontario basecamp for self-contained RVs, trailers, camper vans, road-trippers, paddlers, boaters, and prepared tent campers visiting Napanee, Prince Edward County, wineries, breweries, beaches, markets, Sandbanks Provincial Park, Lake on the Mountain, and the Glenora Ferry.
Guests camp in open, mowed sites with a tree line between the camping area and the residence, so the house is not visible from the sites. This is not a deep-woods provincial park or resort campground — it is a quiet, straightforward Hay Bay basecamp with room to settle in.
What guests like here:
• Spacious mowed sites with room to park and relax
• Fire pit/picnic table setup for campfire evenings
• Open skies for stargazing
• Portable toilet on site
• Pet-friendly space
• Groomed path to Hay Bay access on the property for kayaks/small boats
