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

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.

Cozy King Bed Forest Cabin on Herbal Farm (20 Acres) Welcome to our peaceful 20-acre herbal forest farm — a working homestead lovingly shared with our family, nestled in the heart of Muskoka’s wild beauty. Your stay includes a charming wooden log cabin with a cozy king-size bed for the perfect night’s rest under the stars. Unplug and unwind in nature while enjoying your own fire pit and picnic table for quiet mornings with tea or evenings of fireside connection. This is a semi-off-grid stay with thoughtful comforts: a private outdoor composting toilet and rustic forest shower are just a short walk from your cabin. You'll be surrounded by medicinal plants, towering trees, and maybe even the distant laughter of our kids playing or the gentle hum of herbal work being done in the background. What's Included: - Small rustic off-grid cabin - King bed with bedding - Simple overhead lights - Private firepit and picnic outside your cabin - Private composting toilet and shower with uv-filtered water - Outdoor sink What's Not Included: - Dishes - Food - Camping Gear - Flashlights - Electrical outlets - Firewood (Available for purchase onsite for $5/bundle) Whether you're here to forest bathe, stargaze, or simply rest deeply, this is a place to slow down and reconnect. Please note: we do not accept pets on the property. As a working herbal farm in the forest, we share the land with many wild creatures, and the scent of dogs (and other animals) can attract unwanted wildlife activity. Thank you for understanding and helping us keep the space safe and peaceful. This is a peaceful family farm. Parties and large rowdy crowds will be asked to leave. Absolutely no smoking or weapons of any kind.

Tucked away in the heart of Carling Township, this private 44\-acre property offers a peaceful wilderness retreat surrounded by forest, open meadows, exposed Canadian Shield rock and a secluded 10\-acre inland lake\. One of the property’s most memorable features is the broad meadow below the hill\. It faces the neighbouring W\-Ranch and offers sweeping views across the fields and surrounding countryside\. Horses and ranch activity can sometimes be seen in the distance, giving the landscape the peaceful character of the European countryside\. This is an ideal base for guests seeking privacy, open space and nature while remaining close to some of the best destinations in the Georgian Bay area\. ## A Convenient Base for Exploring • Killbear Provincial Park — approximately 15 minutes by car • Parry Sound — approximately 20 minutes by car • Carling Township public boat launch — approximately 8 minutes by car Use of the township boat launch is free for Carling Township residents\. Other visitors should confirm any applicable fees and current township rules\. ## The Property Our 44 acres include a remarkable variety of natural landscapes, each with its own character: • 🌾 A broad meadow with beautiful open views toward W\-Ranch • 🏔️ Exposed Canadian Shield rock formations overlooking the countryside • 🌲 Forest trails leading toward the adjoining Crown land • 🌿 Quiet spaces for morning walks and relaxed afternoons • 🔥 Natural clearings for campfires and stargazing • 🦌 Plenty of space for wildlife watching and outdoor exploration From the elevated Canadian Shield rock and the meadow below, guests can enjoy an unusual combination of rugged Northern Ontario wilderness and peaceful ranch scenery\. The open fields, distant horses and changing evening light create an atmosphere reminiscent of the European countryside\. W\-Ranch is privately owned neighbouring property and is not part of the campsite\. Guests are asked to respect the property boundary and enjoy the ranch views from our land\. Beyond our property boundary are approximately 200 acres of adjoining Crown land, offering additional opportunities for hiking and backcountry exploration\. Guests are responsible for following all applicable Crown land regulations and respecting the natural environment\. ## The Lake A secluded 10\-acre inland lake lies beside the property and is especially beautiful during the spring and fall\. There is no public road or public boat launch directly on the lake, so the setting is normally quiet and undisturbed\. Lake conditions change naturally with the seasons\. During the warmest part of summer—most commonly in July and August—floating aquatic vegetation and duckweed may accumulate along the shoreline closest to the campsite\. When this occurs, the immediate campsite shoreline is not suitable for swimming or launching a boat\. Clearer, more open water can generally be found approximately 150 metres farther along the shoreline\. Guests whose main priority is swimming, paddling or boating should plan to use nearby Killbear Provincial Park or Georgian Bay, where excellent public water\-access options are available\. A 12\-foot aluminum boat with a four\-stroke motor may be available to rent when lake conditions permit\. The rental fee is $60 per day, including fuel\. Please confirm availability and lake conditions before booking the boat\. ## Who This Campsite Is For This property is especially well suited to couples, families and independent outdoor travellers looking for: • Genuine privacy and quiet surroundings • A large natural property to explore • Hiking, wildlife watching and stargazing • Campfires and relaxed time outdoors • Beautiful meadow and ranch views • Convenient access to Killbear Provincial Park, Georgian Bay and Parry Sound This is a natural wilderness property rather than a developed beach or resort\. Guests who appreciate solitude, changing seasonal conditions and an authentic back\-to\-nature experience will feel most at home here\. ## Access and Respect for the Land The lake is bordered by our private property and adjoining Crown land, with no public road or public boat launch directly on the water\. The area is secluded and normally very quiet\. Because Crown land remains publicly accessible, complete exclusivity cannot be guaranteed\. Please treat the lake, forest and surrounding landscape with care, follow Leave No Trace principles and leave the property as you found it\. ## Stay Connected Although the setting feels remote, cell reception is strong throughout most of the property thanks to a nearby tower—giving you peace of mind without sacrificing peace and quiet\.

3 nights at Camp Saulaine

Here’s the updated version with a natural mention of how friendly, nice, and inviting Marcin and his wife were: --- We were so happy to discover this beautiful spot just a short drive from Toronto. Nestled right next to the river, the campground is exceptionally clean and well-maintained. Marcin and his wife were incredibly friendly, nice, and inviting. They keep both the sites and the facilities spotless and tidy, and they went out of their way to accommodate every request we had. The campsites back directly onto the river and are only a short walk from the beach. They also sell dry, high-quality hardwood, a huge improvement over the moldy, damp wood you often get at provincial parks. Another big plus is that they allow several families to share the same site, making it a much better option for group camping than the provincial parks. Just a couple of practical tips: bring mosquito repellent, as you’re camping by the water, and pack for cooler, damper nights thanks to the river effect. We would definitely book with Marcin again and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean, convenient, and family-friendly riverside getaway.

Marcin was an extraordinary host! He goes above and beyond to make us have comfortable and enjoy our stay. He even toured us in his property. This camp is so beutiful. If you ever have an important event or milestone this place will be a perfect venue. The barn and the river are my top favorite sight! The campgrounds are so clean and flat. Even our little dog had the time of his life exploring the place. Our kids also enjoyed swimming in the river and the playground. They even have real bathrooms and showers. Thank you Marcin for hosting us. We will surely be back with a much bigger group of friends!

Weekend Trip to That Place In The Woods

Although we used the cabin mainly as a place to just sleep for this trip, my five year old and I enjoyed our stay. The woods were cute and everything was easy to find / get to as described by Jennifer. We would love to come back sometime and actually spend some more time in nature and camp here. One thing I will note is that the property was a little bit more run down than in the photos, maybe as if nobody had been there for a while (ie. I didn't feel quite comfortable going through the art trail as the start had some fairly long grass and weeds and was worried about ticks with my son and the door of the screened in lounge was hanging off the hinges). These things didn't hinder our stay at all.

The site offered excellent privacy, beautiful quiet nature, and access to a lovely private beach. The water stays shallow for quite a long distance, which makes it perfect for children to play, and the clarity of the water was a real highlight. There is some seaweed, and those looking for deeper swimming will have to head out pretty far. The walk down to the beach is short but fairly steep, and the fire pit doesn’t provide a fully unobstructed view of the lake. The outhouse is tucked away with minimal signage, and the parking area is quite steep, requiring a bit of levelling for your camper — we ended up parking about 25 m up the hill from the actual campsite. The owner’s communication was excellent, which made the stay even smoother. Even with these small quirks, it was a wonderful site overall with great natural charm.

Enjoyed my first Hipcamp at PayDirt Farm. Maureen was a lovely host. I spent 2 nights camping in a private wooded area. Midland is just a short drive away, should you need any supplies. Maureen sells farm fresh eggs ($7) from her friendly hens, and also firewood ($10). Campers are allowed to gather wood from the forested area. Note: bring gloves for the firepit, lots of bug spray, and a rope for the bucket used to gather water from the creek, which is down a steep hill. Yes, there is traffic noise during the day, but it quiets down at night. All in all, a very good experience for my first try at Hipcamp. Thanks Maureen!

Six Mile Lake Provincial Park camping guide

Overview

About

Six Mile Lake may look familiar to campers, as this provincial park (less than two hours north of Toronto by road), had its landscapes immortalized by esteemed Canadian artist David Milne. Visitors can experience the landscapes that inspired him firsthand on the half-kilometre David Milne Trail. Those who crave a more “lively” experience might want to check out the one-kilometre Living Edge Trail (where beavers build their lodges) or the Marsh Trail, where moose are frequently spotted—just keep your distance and admire them from afar. If you’re craving relaxation, Six Mile Lake is home to three beaches, including a designated pet beach. Campers have seven campgrounds to choose from at Six Mile Lake Provincial Park.

Notable campgrounds

Best for new campers: Birch Campground is centrally located and close to the beach, playground, volleyball court, comfort station, and park store.
Best for pet owners: Cedar Campground is tiny, but its walk-in sites have the advantage of being close to the pet beach.
Best for hikers: Poplar Campground is adjacent to all three Six Mile Lake Provincial Park hiking routes.

Tips for snagging a campsite

The Ontario provincial parks system allows reservations up to five months in advance. If you have a particular site in mind or you hope to travel on a busy weekend, it’s smart to book a spot well in advance.
Reservations can be modified at the four-month mark, so if you missed out on the chance to book, you could grab one once some cancellations come in.
Last-minute spots also sometimes become available around noon each day. Campers already on site who leave early receive a full refund if they cancel by noon, meaning folks on standby can nab these newly vacated spots.

When to go

Six Mile Lake Provincial Park is open from mid-May until mid-October. Like many provincial parks, Six Mile Lake bans alcohol on Victoria Day and for the 10 days preceding it. July and August are popular times, when park staff operate a discovery drop-in program for kids. Both Canada Day weekend (July 1) and the August Civic Holiday weekend (the first Monday of the month) are busy.

Know before you go

Six Mile Lake offers a free “learn to fish” program to introduce new anglers to the sport.
While you’re unlikely to see them, bears roam the region. Keep a clean campsite and lock up your food at night.
Canoes, kayaks, standup paddle boards, and pedal boats are available for rent at the park store in spring and fall, as well as at the rental building at Canoe Beach in summer.
