Learn more about this land:
Enjoy a waterfront view of Lake Erie 105 feet above the water!
This quiet private area is surrounded by forest with a beautiful view of Lake Erie. It’s off the main road on a dead end road with no authorized access, situated at the back of a 12 acre property.
The camp site is ____ sqft plus a path that can be walked on through the forest (there is some private property and private areas around the camp site that should not be accessed, they will be marked)
The 5th wheel trailer with 2 single beds can be combined into a double bed. The trailer has many amenities including, a fridge/freezer, bell satellite TV, Stereo system, Kitchen with some supplies, potable water, toilet with a septic system, outdoor furniture, propane bbq, 2 burner hot plate, picnic table, and fire-pit. Many chairs to sit at both the fire-pit and deck, the trailer has a retractable awning that can be used to provide more shade for the deck
There is no direct beach access, however, the beach is 5 mins driving time to Port Bruce, 15 mins to Port Stanley or 25 mins to Port Burwell
The trailer is an older 5th wheel in livable condition, set in the forest, the trailer has signs of aging, there are animals that call the forest their home, we do the best we can to keep them out but animals will be animals it is not luxury, but very comfy, quiet and peaceful
It does have its limitations
No heat, no hot water, no WiFi, no shower, no oven, no stove, no microwave
The water pump switch has to be turned on and off during use
Some phone service providers work better than others on site
As the property is on the edge of the cliff at the back, please use common sense when close to the edge, the edges are not meant to be stood on, it is quite safe if you don’t go right to the edge
if you are looking to turn it off for a few days, get away from busy city life for a weekday/weekend or just simply reconnect with nature- this is the place!”
Any questions please feel free to ask
We look forward to hosting you!

The Pinecone
1 site · Lodging40 acres · Simcoe, ON
Come to the Pinecone to completely relax and disconnect (seriously you will because there is no cell service!).
During Summer and much of Spring and Fall, you should be able to drive up to the cabin. Unless your vehicle has especially low clearance. The road/path out to the bunkie started as a well-made tractor path that has held up well over the years but has some rocks and bumps. Once through the gate it’s only a 1-minute drive to where you will park. This road may be a bit muddy!
If you are looking for a Winter Bunkie getaway, we would be happy to host you; please note the following:
- If there has been a lot of snow the private road from the street to the Bunkie is not plowed. Depending on the type of vehicle you are driving, you may have to park at the gate entrance and walk in (4-5min walk) to get to the Bunkie.
- There is a mini wood fireplace in the Bunkie for sleeping but depending on the temperature outside and/or the wind it still may be a little chilly.
- There is lots of free wood available for an outside fire but we are sometimes low on small pieces to start fire or use for the mini fireplace. You can bring in your own extra kindling or bring own saw/axe to chop.
- Bring your own extra blankets.
DETAILS:
Sleeping loft accessible by ladder comfortably sleeps 2.
You'll have an outdoor fire pit, picnic table and 2 grills (we have lots of wood but you can bring your own charcoal for cooking). Enjoy watching the starts at night by the fire and visits from the abundant wildlife.
There is 1 queen size bed in the loft for sleeping which is accessible by ladder. You will melt into the pillow-top mattress, luscious linens and don’t want to wake up heavenly pillows.
There is porta potty outhouse that is cleaned, bright and easy to access. There are hanging solar lights that can be turned on as needed.
There isn't running water in the bunkie but we are happy to provide you with as much well water that you would like, for cooking/cleaning. Do not drink from well unless you bring your own filtration system. No shower space but sponge/cloth bathing possible.
There is a small table for 2 inside the bunkie or you can prep food and eat outside on the picnic table. A small fridge cooler is available to store any perishable food you may have. Bring your own ice.
The bunkie has solar lighting for the evenings. If you don’t want to find your own firewood in the forest you can pick it up from locals on your way in for $5/bundle (see stands at the end of driveways).
It is a big chunk of land but you can't really get 'lost' on it for any significant period of time. We are bounded by roads so eventually you will find your way. But, if you aren't experienced in the woods you may want to keep your wandering short, to start, as you get familiar with the land.
Dog friendly!!
We provide:
• Bed linens and pillows
• Basin for sponge/cloth baths
• Toilet Paper
• Small fridge to be used as cooler
• Charcoal BBQ
• BBQ Utensils

Greener Pastures Eco Farm
4 sites · RVs, Tents75 acres · Woodstock, ON
Our farming adventure began in the Spring of 2015 on a 15 acre farm. In 2020 we moved to a 75-acre farm just outside of Woodstock, Ontario.
Carl's childhood passion of animal husbandry was given a new purpose when our family made a conscious decision to change the way we related to our food. We began a family quest to eat locally and sustainably. As our little farm grew we developed relationships with our greater community and Greener Pastures was born!
As our farming adventure continues, we are loving that each day brings new opportunities for learning.
We invite you to join us as we continue to seek greener pastures!
While here, be sure to visit the On-Farm Shoppe for fresh eggs, meats, and other great local products.

Camping near Port Stanley guide
Overview
A charming town on the picturesque shores of Lake Erie in Ontario, Port Stanley is perhaps best known for the sandy expanses of Port Stanley Beach. Camping in the region offers quick access to unique ecosystems like wetlands. Big Creek National Wildlife Area and Long Point Provincial Park are havens for birdwatchers, while Port Burwell Provincial Park has a great dog beach. For families, seasonal apple picking is a treat, as is learning about the area’s history at Elgin County Railway Museum or the Museum of Naval History. For grown-ups, local wineries near Port Stanley are among Ontario’s finest. Waterfront cabins and geodomes are among the campsite options.
Where to go
Port Stanley Beach
With Blue Flag status, Main Beach in Port Stanley is recognized for its excellent water quality, safety measures, and environmental responsibility. The long span of sandy beach stretches along the northern shores of Lake Erie, and lifeguards are on duty in the summer. On-site features include changing facilities, accessible washrooms, a beach volleyball court, and canoe or kayak rentals. Stroll down the nearby boardwalk and pier to Port Stanley Lighthouse, and watch Lake Erie’s waves crash against the stone walls.
Long Point Provincial Park
Just past Big Creek National Wildlife Area, Long Point Provincial Park is perhaps one of the most unique camping spots in all of Ontario. Stretching to Long Point National Wildlife Area, the narrow peninsula of sand dunes, wetlands, and Carolinian forest juts out into Lake Erie. The hamlet of Long Point is a mere one kilometre across at its widest point. Along with its beaches, Long Point is an incredible location for watching hundreds of migratory bird species every spring and fall. Several of the park’s beach-accessible campsites have electrical hookups, while others are designated as radio-free.
Port Burwell Provincial Park
About a half-hour east of Port Stanley, Port Burwell Provincial Park is a great place to camp with the whole family. There are designated dog-friendly beach areas, both on-leash and off-leash. The sandy beach has very few rocks, with lower water levels that are pet-friendly. The playground keeps spirits high for younger Hipcampers, and the trail network invites hikers and bikers to explore the natural surroundings. The park campground is well-appointed for both tent and RV campers, including many campsites with electrical hookups. Common amenities include laundry, washrooms, and hot showers, and there’s even a campfire theater for evening entertainment.
When to go
Camping season near Port Stanley, Ontario typically runs from May to October. Several campgrounds in the region’s public parks may only be open for camping during this time of year, though private campsites may operate in other parts of the year, as well. The summer months see daytime highs around 25°C, offering a great setting for beach days, fishing, hiking, and exploring nature. The abundance of migratory birds in the spring and fall entice Hipcampers to visit during the shoulder seasons.
Safety at Hipcamp
Hipcamp is created with ❤️ and hope for our future.
