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.

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.

Private 44\-Acre Wilderness Camp Near Killbear

66km from Grundy Lake Provincial Park · 10 sites · Tents, RVs
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. Sunrise over the ranch, sunset over our private lake. This is an ideal base for guests seeking quiet surroundings, 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 campground. 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. Camping Areas and Privacy The campground is divided into three distinct camping areas: • Meadow • Lakeside • Shield Each area contains between one and three individual campsites. Depending on current bookings, several groups may be staying on the property at the same time. The campsites are thoughtfully spaced to provide guests with comfortable personal space and a good degree of privacy. However, booking an individual campsite does not include exclusive use of the entire 44-acre property or the lake. The lake, forest trails, Crown land access routes and certain common outdoor areas may be shared with other registered campground guests. Because the property is large and the three camping areas each have their own landscape and atmosphere, guests can normally enjoy a peaceful, spacious and uncrowded outdoor experience even when other groups are staying on the property. Guests who would like exclusive use of the entire campground for their family or group are welcome to contact the host before booking. Depending on availability, group size and specific requirements, dates and pricing for a private campground booking can be arranged separately. The Lake A secluded 10-acre inland lake borders 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. Although the lake cannot be reached by a public road or public boat launch, other registered campground guests may also use it. Unless exclusive use of the entire campground has been arranged in advance, the lake is not reserved for any one individual campsite or group. 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 campground. When this occurs, the immediate campground 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 Campground Is For This property is especially well suited to couples, families and independent outdoor travellers looking for: • Quiet surroundings and generous personal space • 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 nature, changing seasonal conditions and an authentic back-to-nature experience will feel most at home here. Access, Shared Areas 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. However, Crown land remains publicly accessible, and several groups may be staying at the campground at the same time. Complete exclusivity of the lake, trails or property therefore cannot be guaranteed unless private use of the entire campground has been arranged with the host in advance. 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.

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

  1. Both campground and backcountry campsites can be booked online or by phone through Ontario Parks. 
  2. You can book up to five months before your visit. For long weekends and summer holidays (July-August), spots fill up early.
  3. 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.
  4. At the Trailer Campground, all campsites are pull-through electrical sites. 
  5. 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.
