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'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.

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!!

The Farm1

4 sites ¡ RVs, Tents15 acres ¡ Brant, ON
It was 1984 when John found his ‘diamond in the rough’, 20 acres with an orchard on the outskirts of Brantford. O.K., so the house was nothing to write home about but perfect for building a construction yard…no neighbors except for the family across the road that used their property to build log homes. By 1987 the old house was gone, a new one was being built and a shop for working on heavy equipment had been located about 200 ft. from Dr. the back door. It wasn’t until 1996 that things changed very much. Yes, the property around the house had benefitted from a wide array of trees and shrubs that John saved from the construction/demolition jobs he had done and that still thrive today but no big projects (except for equipment purchases) were ongoing. A chance meeting with the neighbor across the road one day resulted in the following dinner conversation, ‘How was your day’ I chirped. ‘Not bad, so-and-so didn’t come in; the truck broke down and I took it for repair; I bought the property across the road, and oh, yeah I’ll need a ride after dinner to pick up the truck’ was John’s casual reply. ‘What was that’? I pressed. ‘Yes, I need a ride after dinner to pick up the truck’ he repeated with a bit more volume. Of course like anyone, I had questions, ‘Do you want peas or corn with dinner’? ‘What time do you want to go to get the truck’? ‘The property across the road’, 10 acres, still has the 4 storey barn with its twin tiled silos which was built in 1914 and the big white house with wrap around porch that once was home to a Doctor and his family. Built so the Doctor could see his patients in the front with the family living in the back was very common in the day. Things remained relatively peaceful until 2000 when after studying alpacas for more than 6 years I bought our first three. Back in 2000 alpacas and llamas were not frequently seen on farms and because they could been seen from the road they received A LOT of attention. People driving by would stop and ask about them, ask if they could take a picture or two and that was when I would hear over and over again ‘You have a beautiful place here, I wish I/we could stay’. Well, if you want to visit and stay in the city it’s doable, we call it a hotel. But visiting a farm and staying well, that isn’t so easy. Each year we would see more and more families coming to ‘The Farm’ as they would call it. Some came to see the alpacas and horses, some came for a stroll and to check out the horse drawn milk and bread delivery wagons, some to have family birthday parties, others to have engagement/wedding/Christmas card pictures…and so many asked if there was any way they could spend a day or two. In 2021 during a conversation with a friend I mentioned we were in the process of gutting the 1100 sq. ft. space downstairs and turning it into an Airbnb! Right away she said, ‘I don’t know why you don’t have a Hipcamp? You’ve got that great area by the new barn that Hipcampers would love’! After a little investigation I found out what a Hipcamp was…and as they say, the rest is future.

The best camping near Turkey Point Provincial Park guide

Overview

About

The only Ontario provincial park with a golf course, Turkey Point—so-named for the many wild turkeys that once roosted here—offers an easy nine holes within walking distance of all three of its campgrounds. But the main attraction for most visitors is the beach. Big and broad, the sand stretches more than two kilometres along Lake Erie’s Long Point Bay. It’s shallow and warm, and a favourite of families, who can wade out a long way on the sandy bottom. Within a few kilometres of the park you’ll also find a busy marina, restaurants, shops, a winery, and even a zipline.

Notable campgrounds

  • Best for RVs: Walking Stick Woods, which includes large, pull-through sites
  • Best for families: Whippoorwill Campground, which has a nice playground nearby
  • Best for early risers: Fin and Feather Campground, which is radio-free

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Because Turkey Point is near a village popular with tourists and boaters, summer is by far the busiest season to book a site—especially all of July and the first two weeks of August.
  2. First-come, first-served sites may be available, especially midweek or in the off-season, but no sites are reserved for same-day arrivals, so you’ll be testing luck and fate if you leave it too long.
  3. Victoria Day, Canada Day, the long weekend in August, and Labour Day are all often booked out months in advance.

When to go

Both the park and campground are open from halfway through May until the middle of October, and summer is very busy, so if you’re looking for solitude, this isn’t the time to visit. The waters of Lake Erie can be chilly, especially early in the season, and the best beach weather begins around the second week of June and stretches into early September. For a relatively brief period—roughly mid-September until mid-October—the Carolinian forest here explodes with fall colour, with the added bonus that late summer and autumn tends to be (blessedly) less buggy.    

Know before you go

  • The park includes three hiking trails—the longest (Fin and Feather) traces an old hatchery pond, running a total four kilometres. Another one (Lookout Bluff) loops past nice views over Long Point Bay.
  • You can mountain bike on trails within the park, or visit a nearby eco-adventure company for additional places to pedal and zipline.
  • You’ll find two laundry facilities onsite at the comfort stations for both Whippoorwill and Walking Stick Woods campgrounds.
  • If you or your child needs a personal flotation device (PFD), you can grab one, free-of-charge, at the entrance to the main parking lot (bring a small amount of cash for a security deposit).
