Everything you need is here!

13 ft travel trailer

Michel is a great host. He gave us privacy and had the site well-maintained to pull my little trailer in with ease. He even left us some chopped wood for our stay. I feel like we haven’t explored this place enough so we will definitely be back! Smiths Falls is only 10 mins away with everything you could possibly need or want. Love this site and love the location.

Exactly what we were looking for!

21 ft travel trailer

After several trips to provincial parks where you're right on top of your neighbors, we wanted something different, secluded and private where the only noise would be wildlife or a train off in the distance. Michel's site was ideal. Very large, easy to navigate a trailer in and out of. He was a very kind host and he provided plenty of wood and kindling and there was a wonderful central rock upon which to have a campfire. After ensuring we found the site and had everything we needed. He was only a phonecall away, but never disturbed our tranquility. We adventured around the property a bit, but the mosquitos were more in the trees than on the main site so that's where we spent most of our time. The town of Smiths Falls is a short (less than 10 min) drive and has everything you might possibly want. We ended up buying a sun shelter tent since there's not too much shady area to escape the midday sun. Overall, a wonderful stay. The seclusion of being down a dead-end country road meant there was no traffic, no visitors, just rest and relaxation. Would definitely come back again and bring mountain bikes to explore a little more.

Very private with lots of space!

20 ft pop-up camper · With kids

Host is very very nice! Firewood is provided for free but was pretty damp so we needed to use the firewood we brought to get the fire going as well. It’s very private, only one booking at a time for large land. Perfect for campers that don’t want to run into anyone else. There’s a stream/creek that runs down by it which the dogs loved, we waded into it but lots of weeds and mud at the bottom that suctions your feet!. (Pet valu 12min away with a dog wash to clean them before heading home as they smelled pretty bad) Bring LOTS of bug spray, the mosquitoes were intense. As well as a shade tent or something as it’s just an open area with no shade. There’s tons of frogs which were nice to listen to at night and fun for the kids to try to catch during the day. There’s also a train track nearby that has frequent trains passing through most of the night so bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper! Host said we could explore the property and there’s so much space to explore but the bugs were too intense the weekend we were there to enjoy it unfortunately.

Highly recommend!

13 ft travel trailer · With pets

Michel was an exemplary host, going the extra mile in every way. His place is a little slice of heaven, one that we would definitely revisit. Great for any car with a trailer, or even just for tent camping. Smiths Falls is 10 minutes away with every adorable small town feature you could ask for.

Best part was the creek we could go canoing. Just an open field. The grass was a foot tall everywhere. Great for streaking tents and padding underneath. Downside was I love harvesting my own deadwood. This wasn't really the place to cut down some dead trees and chop em up. Lots of room. I'm sure the owner could've pointed me to some trees to cut lol but the name should be field of dreams, not enchanted forest. Very nice owner.

Sometimes when you read the overview of properties and think it’s exaggerated - can’t be so…no way not so with Michael’s. The enchanted forest was what I was looking for so I stayed xtra night, just so peaceful, views & quiet creek, birds chirping, whistling of the train and roosters in the distance. the perfect place for wandering souls or for a family getaway - you won’t be disappointed. I felt welcomed and informed and yes the overview of the Enchanted Forest is spot on!! I wonder how long does it take to explore 500 acres?

Nice spot to escape everyday life and explore. The hosts were great to deal with, very accommodating and helpful. This location is very rural yet close enough to the town of Smiths Falls, so come prepared to rough it but know that if you do forget anything it's just a short drive away. Expect plenty of wildlife and a private good old fashion camping experience. The kids loved the trek down to the creek and all that it had to offer.
