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.

Welcome to Laurenwood Farm! New for 2024: Due to health reasons the farm is fallow this season. It is still a quiet, peaceful escape to the country and you can enjoy all of the amenities but there will be no veggie boxes this season and there are fewer animals to visit. We do have some items available such as honey and syrup. The farm is a 100-acre working livestock and organic mixed produce farm with picturesque views, miles of wooded trails, and a beautiful little fish pond. Fresh organic veggies and farm-fresh eggs are available seasonally. Guests are welcome to wander the trails, check out the pond and gardens, and have a guided tour to experience meeting the animals. Nearby are several conservation areas and access to the Bruce Trail. Walking, biking or horseback riding is very pleasant on the quiet country roads around. There are many local fairs and festivals in the surrounding villages, such as the Beeton Honey Festival and Tottenham Bluegrass Festival. We have three different listings, a cottage, a barn loft, and a tent/RV site. We look forward to hosting you!

Welcome to Cedar Creek Forest Camping! Voted second best campsite in Canada in 2021 and ranked number 2 in Ontario in 2022. I have 97 acres of very private camping. The forest is a bird watcher’s and nature lover’s paradise. I have developed miles of flat groomed trails and a 3-acre pond (plus several bush ponds). The sites are spread around the pond and are close but not right beside it. There is an abundant amount of wildlife to explore: birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects and mammals call this home. There is a small swimming hole on the island but otherwise the pond is full of aquatic life. The sites and trails are maintained all year long and the forest is quiet and beautiful. I have planted over 3000 trees with the help of the Severn Sound Environmental Association. The forest is registered as a managed woodlot with the province and habitat preservation/restoration is the priority goal. Please DO NOT bring firewood for your visit. I have large bags of cured firewood that was sustainable harvested from the forest available. Invasive insects and disease can be transferred from imported wood. Guests are welcome to quietly explore the forest trails but are asked to stay on the trail. Many birds and animals nest in the forest. My campsite is family-friendly (and pet-friendly), and 420 friendly too. Guests can easily drive up to and park at all campsites. My camp site is tolerant and respectful of all humans, animals and things. The Yurtle structures were built from Hemlock trees that were cut from this forest and processed into boards, then engineered into unique camping huts. Large windows capture the glory of the surrounding forest and sun sets, while wood stoves warm campers on those cold days/nights. Guests are asked to remove excessive garbage and recycling when possible. Thanks for viewing and visiting, cheers and peace, Dave

We have a couple of very gentle horses on our farm, that if anyone wishes, can schedule a time meet them and do some therapy grooming. There is also a small flock of egg laying hens that are quite social. We have a small on site store, which has some beautiful wood crafts that are created in our woodworking shop. Live-edge wood tables/charcuterie boards and other beautiful pieces as well as a large display of gorgeous healing crystals and metaphysical items are available for purchase if that's your interest.

The best camping in Sibbald Point Provincial Park, ON guide

Overview

About

Set on the south shores of Lake Simcoe, this popular park features a big crescent of sand and warm, shallow waters. Swimming and sunbathing are obvious choices, and some visitors never venture beyond the shore. But you’ll be rewarded if you do. Get out on the water, paddling a canoe or kayak, or fishing for jumbo perch, northern pike, lake trout, and pickerel. Lace up your hiking boots—or even a good pair of shoes—to make the loop on the Maidenhair Fern Trail or take a walk into Sibbald family history using a route that includes the 1836 family estate, an 1877 Anglican church, and a cemetery where you’ll find the grave of one of Canada’s most famous authors (Stephen Leacock).

Notable campgrounds

  • Best for early risers: Sites along three different loops (#200-381, #402-440, and #501-586) are completely radio-free.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Start planning early, especially if visiting in summer. This is one of Toronto’s favourite escapes, and the millions in the metro area are less than an hour’s drive away.
  2. While first-come, first-served sites are a possibility in spring and fall, you’re unlikely to find anything available if you don’t book ahead. On summer holidays, including Canada Day and Labour Day, even parking spots are hard to come by.

When to go

Open year-round for day use, camping is only offered between May and October. The seasons in this part of Central Ontario are very distinct—winter can be frigid, and summers hot and steamy. The best swimming is in late July and early August when the lake has had enough time to absorb the warmth of summer, but before evenings turn chilly, a change that can take place as early as late August. But be warned—the beach can be extremely busy with day-use visitors on weekends. Autumn is far less buggy, and beautiful thanks to the deciduous forest bursting into a canvas of orange, red and gold.

Know before you go

  • The nearby town of Keswick has a number of handy conveniences, including laundry and more than one grocery store.
  • Ask about the discovery program, during which staff members lead nature walks, teach children’s crafts and games, and offer evening talks from guest speakers at the amphitheatre.
  • Aspiring fishers can get started with the park’s free Learn to Fish program, which includes two hours of hands-on instruction and experience.
