2024 total eclipse
In the path of the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse.
For the last 24 years we have lived here on our 6 acres of property where our Maple Sugar Bush allows us to produce our very own maple syrup every spring. [Side note: The sugar shack itself has been on the property for over 40 years.] We also raise a small but varied collection of farm animals, grow vegetables, and operate a 3 generation (Mother, Daughter, and Granddaughter) Artisan Craft Business, that sells handmade "Canadiana Themed" Home Decor goods and Maple Products at our local Farmer's Market. ( Visit us on Instagram @Blackmaplefarm) Our Farm is located on the very edge of the Canadian Shield, so most of the landscape is a rocky, rugged, and naturally wooded. Throughout the property are numerous short, looping, walking trails that meander throughout the Sugar bush, pasture area, 3 season pond, and our farm animal "homes". These trails are perfect for short nature walks, where you'll experience natural wildflowers and plants, see and hear song birds, small animal wildlife and of course, farm life too. We are also located on the edge of the Eastern Ontario "Dark Sky" Area, which means we have a very nice view from the edge of our pasture of the North Sky stars on a clear night, with very minimal light pollution. Our varied collection of farm animals includes; lots of chickens, (including roosters who DO crow in the early morning hours), miniature goats, horses, a couple of barn cats, and a dog. During your stay with us you are welcome to come learn about and interact with our animals and daily farm life, if you so desire, and farm fresh eggs and maple syrup are also available to purchase too.

Black Maple Farm: Pine Grove Site
We were happy to find that everything was exactly as it was described. We loved the cool September weather, the trees, the stars, being near the animals, having water and firewood brought to us, and relaxing in a peaceful place. We would camp again at the tent site (Pine Grove).

A trip to remember for life
After 3 years of camping, my friend Rachel and I had exhausted the Sepaq's of Quebec and Ontario parks and wanted to try something different. Our experience here was ABOVE and beyond what I expected. Very rustic, and full of fun things to experience on the private grounds of two wonderful and accommodating hosts, Lisa and her amazing mom Marg. Her precious animals greeted us. There are chickens, roosters, a hilarious shouting goat named Jasper and 'his girls', and Benson and Tango, the beautiful elder horses on the property. We spent time with the animals, cooked by the fire, sat under the stars with great conversation, went into Napanee on a main street with incredible shops and delicious coffee and had the most memorable time. Can't wait to do it again next year and explore some of the hikes just a few minutes from the farm.

PERFECT FOR FRIENDS AND FAMILY
Me and my friends had an amazing time camping here! We visited the local farmers market where everyone was extremely welcoming and kind. Lisa was the best! She was extremely helpful and accommodating. Me and my friends had the most fun seeing the animals and stargazing on the property. The washrooms and showers were very clean and we enjoyed the activities on the site. Would recommend anyone to go and 100/10 would go again!! And the eggs and bread we purchased as add-ons were extremely delicious :)

Black Maple Farm: Glamping Tent
We had a great time at the farm. Sarah and her family were very welcoming and we're always ready to answer our questions and made sure that everything was ok. The tent was very comfortable and we had more than enough comfortable sleeping spots for the 2 kids and the parents. The bathroom and shower were very clean, and all of the necessary camping equipment was provided. Literally all you need to bring is your clothing toiletteries and food. Water, bug spray, dishes, instant coffee, dish soap and more were all provided by Sarah. The kids had fun in the swing, as well as seeing the horses, chickens, and even were lucky enough to pet the goats. Wonderful experience, thank you Sarah and your family for having us !

Unique spot, welcoming hosts!
What a cool spot! As promised, the goats and chickens were right there and Lisa and her family were happy to let our kids spend time with the animals. The Land had some bonus features like a dish washing area, shower with hot water on demand, and a sink for washing hands and brushing teeth, saving us from doing so on our site. The hosts were very warm and welcoming! Some tips: - Pack light. There are wagons to cart your gear to the camping site but less stuff = less trips back and forth to your vehicle - The camping site fits two 4-person tents but wouldn’t fit more than that - You MUST order the homemade bread! IT IS AMAZING - The site gets muddy in the rain so boots are a must for inclement weather Enjoy! Thanks Lisa!
