Marten River Escapes offers six waterfront campsites with 30 amp hydro service and three non waterfront campsites, one with 30 amp and two with 50 amp service. A couple are seasonal sites, most are transient sites. All have access to potable water faucets. A shared comfort station with flush toilets and showers with hot on demand water is centrally located. There is no sewer connections but we do have a honey wagon and guests can access dumping into our onsite septic tank.
We also have one rustic glamping cabin in the campground area and a new 14 unit building under construction on the southeast portion of the property. There is an on site restaurant offering dine-in, patio seating, and take out service. (seasonally operated - hours vary depending on the season)
In addition to the amenities available on the campsite you will also have access to enjoy the common shared areas of the property. Our property boasts 1000' of waterfront surrounded by crown land. We have a new shared dock with Muskoka chairs and a (typical Northern Ontario) swimming area in our semi-secluded bay. We recommend water shoes for those who go swimming and to bring a fishing rod (and fishing license) if you want to give that sport a go. A sunshade pergola was just added to the main dock area with several other seating areas scattered around the property providing relaxing water views and spectacular sunsets, all available for your enjoyment.
There is a large open area to enjoy a game of frisbee or other lawn games. We also have a few water toys. A canoe, a kayak, a peddle boat and two small (fishing type) motor boats are available for a small rental FEE. You must have a valid boaters license in order to be able to rent the motor boat. All water equipment renters must sign a renters agreement prior to use. Due to sizing and proper fit, for safety we do recommend guests bring their own life jackets/pfd's but we do have some that can be used.
We have a private boat launch and for a small extra fee you can reserve a dedicated boat slip space during your stay for your own personal watercraft. Boats or other water toy equipment are NOT to be left on the shore. A few local public boat launches into different lakes are also nearby.
For those powersports enthusiasts (ATV's, SXS etc.) there are 100's of km's of crown land trails accessible from our property. We do NOT rent ATV's.
There is space to park ONE passenger vehicle along with your rv/trailer or tents on each campsite. VERY large trucks will limit the usable lawn space available on the site. Extra passenger vehicles and/or equipment trailers must park in overflow parking.

Welcome to Peddler's Passage Farm & Stay!
We operate a small-scale market/permaculture farm set on a beautiful 400-acre property. We are located in Calvin Township, between North Bay and Mattawa, on the fringes of Algonquin Provincial Park. The growing farm currently covers 1.5 acres of our scenic property. We grow a wide variety of crops here—from fresh asparagus and greens in early spring to juicy raspberries in midsummer, ending the season with potatoes and onions to cook over the fire at your private campsite.
Our property boasts 100 acres of rolling pastures filled with stunning views and some of the best sunsets in Calvin, as well as another 300 acres of forest with kilometres of maintained trails. These trails feature old-growth trees, three large beaver ponds, wild blueberries, abundant fungi, and bench seating where you can take a break and observe the many species of wildlife that inhabit the area.
The trail system offers varying degrees of difficulty, from double-wide, smooth trails to a 3 km rugged hiking trail that loops around our large beaver pond complex. The trails can be enjoyed during the winter months as well, with many groomed and maintained for private, peaceful cross-country skiing.
Included in your stay are fresh-picked, in-season produce and farm-fresh eggs, all grown right here at Peddler's Passage. There are also endless opportunities within a short drive of the farm, including Eau Claire Gorge, Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park, and fishing, swimming, and canoeing on many Northern Ontario lakes and rivers. The list goes on—come enjoy what this little township has to offer and experience true wilderness in this hidden diamond in the rough.
Hope to see you on the farm!

Enjoy the beauty of Muskoka, Lake Joseph, Lake Roseau, and kayak along the Joseph River that connects them. Breathe in the fresh pine scent of the Blue Heron Bunkie, equipped with double and single bunk beds. Relax and have fun at the private beach and enjoy swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding (SUP), hiking, and bird watching with native species including blue herons, loons, owls, and humming birds. You may see deer, beavers, martins, turtles, and can enjoy fishing right from the dock.
The property has a main cottage that is occupied by the host/owners and is rented separately on other vacation rental/BNB websites. The bunkie is accessed by a staircase up to the deck and has a view of the Joseph River.
There is a private swimmable beach and a spacious dock with one available boat slip. The property includes 500 feet of waterfront and is about 2 acres in total. There is plenty of room for parking. The driveway is steep and curved and just requires being cautious.
If you prefer power boats and seadoos these can be rented at a nearby marina.
This simple, clean, dry, and neat bunkie is comfortable and has a history of providing fantastic sleeping conditions with guests saying they had their best sleep in it. There are windows at the front and back providing a cross-breeze, assisted by a fan. The bunkie has electricity and lighting and can be used as a workspace.
This location is ideal for paddlers, swimmers, hikers, artists, writers, and those interested in the additional comforts of a cabin rather than tent camping.
There is a large deck, bbq, fire pit, Muskoka chairs, and outdoor eating area that can be shared with the host. Confirm details with host.

Very nice land, with many things to do. It really shows that they have worked hard on the place.
Signalisation on site was great, we apreciated having the bay so close and being able to go hike.
Couple of things to know….the bugs in august while we stayed were CRAZY. Our dog wanted to atay in the van most of the time because of that, so bring ton of bug spray.
Also, the campsite #1 is really close from the Glamping (accomodation). A couple was staying with 4 young kids and it was pretty loud.
Our 20’ van fit in the spot, but larger than that would be hard.
I’d recommend campsite #3 for more privacy.
The owner’s dog, who is very kind, is offleash and will probably come say hi. Good thing to know if you have a dog yourself.
The place is well kept, hosts are amazing and overall it was great. Good attention to details from the host!

Beautiful spot with plenty of room to spread out. We loved having a bathroom and taking a walk along the mowed trails to stretch our legs. This is a farm turned into an event space for weddings and such.
We had a hard time finding it, the link sent with a pin to the location is incorrect. We had to call the host and get better directions.

My friend and I tented it on a Friday night. Beautiful spot and very private. We were lucky enough to have the whole place to ourselves. A bit noisy at night with the hwy being right there, the only drawback. Hospitality was great. Not much signage, but gps will bring you to the 2 pylons set up and make a left to enter the property.

Jennifer is lovely! So helpful & great service. The property is beautiful and off the beaten track. If you want to get away from people and unplug, this is the place for you! When the description says no cell service, it’s not kidding. I did a solo trip, and to contact my husband I had to drive about 8 minutes up the road on hwy 533 just to get 1 or 2 bars of service.
Some things to be aware of - the Little Dipper dome is right next to the Big Dipper dome. There’s a swath of trees between the two sites, but they don’t really provide much of a sound barrier (good privacy, though). Unfortunately, my neighbouring campers were quite loud, which wasn’t ideal.
It’s worth noting, that in summer (I stayed in July), the dome gets uncomfortably hot inside during the day, even with the screen door open, air vent on, and curtain closed and stays that way through the entire day, until the cooler morning/evening hours (enjoyable inside when cooler).
The hosts provide all the essentials, which is awesome! The composting toilet did not smell at all, and was clean/no flies.
I loved the nature sounds very much. The only thing I didn’t like, was the amount of bugs. Bugs don’t usually bother me, but even with bug spray they were incessant, which ruined my plans to soak up nature while there - since the nature experience was my whole reason to go, I was a little disappointed by that.
But I definitely will stay again, maybe in a different season (when there’s less bugs).

Beautiful place, super flat and good for camping.
I would recommend having directions downloaded as not much service on way up.
Directions were a little tricky and unclear,
Go to rue Des duplex ( post says 499 but don’t bother looking for that it doesn’t exist )
Follow road all the way to the end, it will look like dead end but it actually goes downhill in the dirt area, very rough path be careful as I got stuck twice.
Just follow Rue Des Duplex all the way and you’ll find it, there’s 2 camping sites I’d personally recommend the top one especially due to how hard it is to get the vehicle in and out on the bottom site.
Overall beautiful, quiet, nice camping spot.
… I personally don’t think an RV is a good idea here lol.

If I could give Stone Oaks Farm 30 out of 10, I would! I had a wonderful stay at Stephany's farm (during the winter, too! When most Hipcamp spots are closed!) Stephany was so friendly, responsive, and welcoming - she really set the standard for Hipcamp experiences (this was my first one and Stephany went above and beyond any expectations!) Absolutely love that it's a dog-friendly space (my dogs got to meet their horses and duck! Omgosh, my heart!) I'll never forget this experience and Stephany's generosity and kindness. There needs to be more people like this in the world. Would absolutely stay here again and have already recommended this place to other campers, roadtrippers, and animal lovers! Thank you, Stephany!
