We have 4.4 acres of land on a spring fed lake. (Even though it is spring fed the water is warm for swimming.) We are located between Trout Creek and Port Loring on Hwy 522. We have 3 vintage trailers, each with a slightly different experience. Enjoy kayaking, canoeing, swimming and fishing. We also have a 4 person paddle boat. Bring water shoes if you have them. The water edge is in it's natural state. The trailers come fully equipped. You need only bring food, bedding and 1 pound propane tanks to use the small barbeque. Our property is off the electric grid. The trailers have fridges and stoves powered by propane and the lights are powered by battery recharged with solar panels. We do not at this time have running water and the toilets are clean outhouses - not stinky and disgusting. We have a couple of small docks and you can fish right from the dock. If you are a bird lover you will enjoy watching the blue heron and hearing the loons and frogs sing at night. This property often experiences spectacular sun sets. We have fire pits, books and board games.

Welcome to Restoule! We have 60 acres of very private camping. Our land is a bird watcher’s and nature lover’s paradise. We have loads of trails and a 2500ft canal that leads to Commanda lake. There is an abundant amount of wildlife to explore: birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects and mammals. The site is well maintained and the forest is quiet and beautiful.

Our property is family and pet friendly, designed specifically for those who really enjoy camping without 1500 neighbors and a fun o'clock switch. I live on the canal trail half way to the lake. The campsite is on the opposite side of the property.

Cranberry Camp is located 7 kms past the village of Pointe au Baril. It’s surrounded by Ontario native forest (the “bush”) and wetlands in the hinterlands of Georgian Bay. We love to share this beautiful part of the world with visitors! We are 3kms from Sturgeon bay Provincial Park (a nice beach!) and 3kms from the Bayfield Inlet public launch on Georgian Bay (visit the iconic pink rocks and windswept trees of Georgian Bay). We came to this area because of the fresh air and clean water. Visitors to the area should be aware that you cannot see any of the Georgian Bay coastline from the highway or roads. We highly recommend you get out on the water in a boat of some kind (there is water access near here for canoes, kayaks and other boats). We also recommend that visitors go to the French River Provincial Park to understand the unique history and culture of the area. That park is 35-40 min north from here and has a lovely small museum/interpretive centre and a footbridge over the French River. This secondary highway (ON 529) is fairly quiet and decent for cycling. It's very quiet north of the ON 529A turn-off! Cranberry Camp also has a small house, a guest lodge for retreats (we host healthy living and healthy building workshops), 2 lovely and private recreational vehicles (a 24’ Jayco and a 27’ Cougar) as well as a tiny home. All spaces are scent-free, low VOC and no WiFi. We help people create healthy homes and buildings. Hipcamp sites are accessed from hard-packed dirt/gravel driveway either perpendicular or parallel to the road. An outhouse contains a composting toilet (using the Humanure system), a solar light and jug of water for handwashing. We love to host people getting away from the city or taking exploratory road trips.

66km from Grundy Lake Provincial Park · 5 sites · Tents, RVs

Tucked away in the heart of Carling Township, this 44-acre private property offers exclusive, private access to a pristine 10-acre lake entirely off the beaten path. The lake is surrounded by our land and Crown land — no public roads, no boat launches, no other access points. The only way in? Through our property. You’ll have the lake to yourself. The Lake: This is not your average campsite pond. At 10 acres, the lake is large enough to paddle, fish, and explore freely. Its waters are calm, clear, and undisturbed. Whether you’re launching a canoe at dawn, casting a line in the afternoon, or watching stars reflect off the surface at night, this lake will be the centerpiece of your trip. • 🎣 Fishing in a rarely-touched, naturally stocked lake • 🛶 Paddling & swimming with zero crowds • 🦅 Wildlife watching — loons, herons, eagles, and more • 🌙 Stargazing over open water with zero light pollution The Land: Our 44 acres span a remarkable mix of terrain — calm lakefront, open meadows, and exposed Canadian Shield rock formations with sweeping views of the surrounding wilderness. Each corner has its own character. Beyond our boundary, 200 acres of adjoining Crown land is open to explore — hike deeper into the forest, discover hidden clearings, or wander wherever curiosity takes you. • 🏔️ Canadian Shield outcroppings — climb, scramble, and take in the views • 🌿 Open meadows perfect for morning walks or afternoon lounging • 🌲 Dense forest trails leading into untouched backcountry • 🏕️ Lakefront clearings ideal for campfires and stargazing Who This Is For: Perfect for those who want the “I had a whole lake to myself” story. Families, couples, anglers, paddlers, and anyone craving genuine solitude in wild Ontario. A Note on Access: Because the lake is enclosed by private and Crown land with no other entry points, guests are the only people with access during their stay. Please treat this rare environment with care. Stay Connected: You won’t be out of reach — cell signal is strong throughout the property, thanks to a nearby cell tower. Peace of mind, without sacrificing peace and quiet.

Safe, quiet (other than very welcome, distant cottage-y sounds, birds, frogs).

Weekend Trip to Rusty's Red Deer Lake Getaway

Cabin was nicely furnished and fit me, my husband, our large dog, and 8 month old son very well. Large mostly flat grassy area was perfect for the dog and the baby. We saw Kevin when we arrived & he was very nice and helpful. After that, we didn’t see a single person for the 3 days we were there. Saying hi to rusty on the way to the lake was cute and made me laugh. Not a very groomed trail, was nice and easy enough but definitely tripping hazards for anyone with any mobility issues. There is also a large step up into the cabin so bring a sturdy stool if you’re coming with youngins or others who may have a hard time with that. Fire pit came with racks was great for cooking and keeping warm late at night. We had a great time in this private off grid cabin, would definitely come back another time !

Grundy Lake Provincial Park camping guide

Overview

About

In the upper Georgian Bay area, it’s easy to overlook Grundy Lake because it sits inland, just off the Trans-Canada Highway. But it’s a real gem, with beautiful inland lakes that offer opportunities for fishing, canoeing, swimming, and just hanging out on the beach. In addition to the park’s nine campgrounds, there are canoe-in backcountry sites that can be reached without portaging—perfect for beginners and families. More adventurous paddlers can find more solitude in the park’s interior, while hikers will find both accessible strolls and more challenging (but so worth it) trails.

Notable campgrounds

Best for beach bums: Poplar Campground is located beside the largest of the park’s six swimming beaches.
Best for sunsets: Balsam Campground is off the beaten path and offers sunset views over Clear Lake.
Best for solitude: Pakeshkag Lake has several backcountry campsites accessible by canoe only, with three portages (650 metres, 105 metres, and 95 metres) required.

Tips for snagging a campsite

Both campground and backcountry campsites can be booked online or by phone through Ontario Parks.
You can book up to five months before your visit. For long weekends and summer holidays (July-August), spots fill up early.
Camping is available from mid-May through mid-October. Visiting in spring or fall will give you a better chance of getting the campsite you want.
At the Trailer Campground, all campsites are pull-through electrical sites.
With so many lakes in the park, there are a lot of waterfront campsites. If your preferred site is unavailable, try some of the other lakefronts. There are 10 paddle-in backcountry campsites on four lakes.

When to go

Grundy Lake opens in mid-May, but black flies keep a lot of campers away for the first couple of weeks. If you’re planning to spend your time on the water, you can enjoy the park before it gets busy and only need to worry about bugs when you return to camp. Fall colours come earlier to Grundy Lake than some of the parks farther south. If you want to enjoy the changing landscape, think about visiting in late September or early October.

Know before you go

Grundy Lake has four barrier-free campsites, all of which can accommodate RVs and have electrical hookups.
Apart from Swan Lake and a couple of other small lakes, fishing is permitted (in season and with a license) in the park. However, no motorized boats are allowed. Anglers can fish for northern pike, bass, panfish, walleye, and crappie.
You can get to Grundy Lake without a car using the Parkbus service from Toronto.
There are dog exercise areas located near the Balsam, White Spruce, and Hemlock campgrounds.
