Frugal Rock
2 sites · RVs, Tents5 acres · Kingston, ON
Located 3hr from Toronto, 1hr from Ottawa, 1hr from Kingston, 20 minutes to the beautiful summer town of Westport and the Rideau Canal.One of the earliest settled areas of Ontario (just celebrated its 200th anniversary), the area was mineral-rich and mined early on. During the '30s and 40's the area was largely abandoned but saw a resurgence in the late 60's/early '70s with draft dodgers from the US settling in the cheap land close to the US border. Tay Valley is now one of the most progressive townships when it comes to tiny homes and off-grid living. Located in the Frontenac Arch, this remote slice of wilderness is situated overlooking a beautiful wetland. With no neighbours, you can escape to the silence of the wilderness yet run to the beautiful village of Perth or Westport for supplies in just 20 minutes.

Glamping - Intimate Cabin & Campsites
1 site · Lodging260 acres · Perth, ON
Learn more about this land:
Beautiful 260 acres of mixed forest, open field, and biodiverse marsh all for yourself! In the wild countryside just North of the Historic Town of Perth, Ontario. Includes large fire pit, cookstoves, covered deck, 10x10 wood cabin (sleeps 2), groomed camp/tent sites for your additional guests to pitch their tents. We only rent to one person/party at a time so the whole place is yours to share with whomever you like or just with yourself! Very private. Our house is a half km from the campsites and you are kilometers from the nearest neighbours.
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 cabin started as a well made tractor path that has held up well over the years but has some rocks and bumps. (Check with us ahead of time if driving to the site is important). Otherwise, when you arrive, you can park at our 100 year-old farmstead and then enjoy a beautiful, 10-minute walk to your site (We are happy to bring in your supplies loaded in our mini-tractor's little, red, wagon, if check-in happens while we are here). This pathway may be a bit muddy, slushy or icy but is kept cleared of fallen snow and mowed in the warmer months.
You will sleep in a double sized bed on a firm wooden frame. The mattress is a 14", deep pillow-top, Sealy with a box-spring. Both mattresses are securely wrapped in full mattress covers and it is topped with a thick mattress pad for maximum coziness. Linen or fleece sheets are available and the bed has a large, warm hypoallergenic duvet, (duvet cover also available in linen or fleece), with three pillows of various firmness.
The room contains two cozy chairs, one of which folds out into a lounge chair or even a bed.
There is a newly constructed outhouse that is bright and easy to access. There is a hanging solar light that can be turned on as needed. During the year when the temperature stays above zero, there is a handwashing station set up behind the outhouse. Water and soap for this station is provided.
There isn't running water in the cabin but we are happy to provide you as much tasty well water that you would like, for cooking/drinking/cleaning. We are ready to top up your water supply, as you need it. Propane water heater available upon request. No shower space in the winter but sponge/cloth bathing possible inside the cabin. (Cloths, towels, and body soap supplied).
There is a beautiful, bright, roomy, cedar, outdoor shower available during the warmer months. Water is provided for a portable, rechargeable shower pump. Water can be heated in the sun or warmed up with some added boiled water.
There are dishes, pots and pans, and other basic food-prep type equipment for your use. There is an area inside to prepare food that doesn't need cooking or to make ready food that is going to be cooked outside on our grill or propane stove. A small cooler is available to store any perishable food you may have. During the winter, the cooler can be kept at a proper temperature by moving it in and out of the deep freeze that is the Canadian outdoors. You will need to bring ice during the warmer seasons.
A fully charged Lithium Ion Energizer power station is available that is trickle charged on sunny days by a solar panel. This pack is capable of powering most of the devices that you would bring on your trip such as laptops, iPads, or Bluetooth speakers. The power should last with moderate use for a couple of days but we are happy to pick it up daily to recharge if you require that. The cabin itself has solar lighting for the evenings and a bright light that you can plug into the power station, when needed.
For extra guests beyond the initial 2, those guests will have to bring their own tents and beds/bedding and camp in the large clearing beside the cabin or elsewhere on the property.
There is a large, 12x16 floating deck, directly outside the cabin that is covered by a large gazebo with optional walls. Seating and a cooking area is located on the covered deck.. The deck and the area near the cabin and fire pit is mowed and kept clear of snow and you will find a nice fire pit for outdoor warmth and relaxation with plenty of seating. The pit is equipped with gear for you to do open fire cooking. Fire wood is available for $5/large bundle or you may bring your own.
There is a 12'x14', hard-top, walled/screened, furnished gazebo in the cleared area around the cabin close to both the cabin and the firepit that will be available until the snow becomes too difficult to clear that far.
The land is a rugged mix of Canadian Shield, pocket swamps, forest and old fields slowly returning to the wild. There are some basic paths but you are also welcome to strike out on your own and enjoy the land.
The area around the cabin is set up with larger groups in mind while still maintaining an intimate feel. We encourage friends and/or family to come together and camp out with two able to sleep in the cabin itself. Additional guests who may be using tents, tent-trailers, vans, etc, to join you on your stay, are able to pick close by, mowed clearings, to set up camp or they can move further into the woods and find a more secluded campsite.
Firewood is available upon request at $6/bundle, ideally before arrival but more can be provided during your stay.
Outdoor Theatre Option
For a fee of $20, a large screen can be set up in the hard-top gazebo for use with a provided projector. A generator is required to power the projector and will be provided, fully fueled. Additional fuel can be purchased, if needed. There are also two, stereo-capable, rechargeable, Bluetooth speakers that can be used with the system. Guests can bring a laptop, gaming system or even just media on a USB stick. Note: the projector is picky about what files it will play from a USB. The best option is a laptop or similar device. HDMI cable provided.

The best camping near Silver Lake Provincial Park guide
Overview
About
Campers choose this compact park in Eastern Ontario for its quiet waterfront setting along nine-kilometre-long Silver Lake, set between Toronto and Ottawa, 85 kilometres north of Kingston. The park has a boat launch, a playground, and two sandy beaches along the lake, which is also a good spot for canoeing or kayaking. While the park is too small for much hiking, you can fish for yellow perch, smallmouth bass, lake trout, and northern pike. Silver Lake’s three campgrounds have a total of 100 campsites, accommodating tents and RVs, plus a comfort station with flush toilets and showers.
Notable campgrounds
- Best for RVs: Wesley Campground
- Best for lakeside camping: Algonquin Campground
- Best for barrier-free camping: Dawson Campground
Tips for snagging a campsite
- Reservations for campsites at Silver Lake Provincial Park are available up to five months in advance. Book online through the Ontario Parks reservation service.
- The waterfront sites in the Algonquin and Dawson campgrounds book first, so be ready to reserve these sites as soon as they become available.
When to go
Silver Lake Provincial Park is open only from mid-May through mid-September. July and August are the busiest months, although the park stays active into September as the trees begin to take on their fall colors. Come on weekdays to avoid the weekend crowds.
Know before you go
- You can buy firewood and ice in the Silver Lake park store and pick up basic supplies in the village of Sharbot Lake outside the park. Otherwise, the town of Perth, 30 kilometres east of the park, is your best bet for shopping.
- The park rents canoes, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards for paddling along Silver Lake.
- Silver Lake is located in one of Ontario’s main maple syrup-producing regions. While the March-April sugaring season, when the trees are “tapped” for their sap, takes place outside of the best camping months, you can find local syrup year-round—perfect for pancakes around the campfire.
