The ultimate waterfront camping spot in Prince Edward County
Your site: "SECRET WATERFRONT" is situated on the waterfront, at the top of a cedar lined ledge with a perfect view through the cedars of the lake. It is our most private waterfront camping site.
Perfect for swimming, fishing, boating or just relaxing. The sunset is absolutely amazing from the shore, dock or your campsite.
The site has a flat spot for a medium/large sized tent and could also fit a screened in dining tent. There is also a fire pit and picnic table, as well as a BBQ available for nightly rental. It is a short walk from where you can park your car, and we have a wheelbarrow to transport your things to the site.
It is a few steps away from the 30 foot dock and a common area that has muskoka chairs and hammocks and a communal fire pit (separate from your site).
Campfires are permitted and pets are welcome! If you would like to purchase firewood, please add this to your reservation at the time of booking (see extras below).
Amenities: There is a composting toilet, sink and propane hot water outdoor shower a short walk up the hill from your campsite. There is also potable water available for cooking and drinking.
A cell phone charging station is also located in a central spot.
There are 2 kayaks, paddles, adult life jackets available FREE for you to explore the shoreline.
Where you are: Our property is a perfect place to embark on a cycling tour of the area and we are only a short drive from Del-Gatto, Fifth Town Artisan Cheese, Waupoos winery, Clafeld cider house, Cape vinyards, County Cider etc.
Across the road is an extensive hiking/biking trail system -- this is not part of the property but used by respectful residents and guests at their own risk.
Surrounded by breathtaking sunset views and fronting Lake Ontario, this is the perfect place to enjoy nature at its fullest.
We look forward to hosting you.

Perfect trip! The place was wonderful and very clean, the view on the lake was beautiful. I would recommend this place to anyone
The site was located right on the shore of Lake Ontario which which provided a great backdrop duirng the entire stay. There was access to a dock, kayaks and PEDS were provided as well. The site was well maintained. Ian was very approachable for any questions as well.
The site itself was very quiet and isolated but the town of Picton is ~15 minutes away for anything you need.
Super spot ! L’emplacement au bord de l’eau est idéal ! L’endroit est très calme et paisible.
Le terrain était légèrement en pente mais rien de très gênant. Nous avons apprécié d’avoir accès aux commodités (douche extérieure et toilettes) ça c’est un plus !
Très agréable également de pouvoir profiter de la table de pique nique et de la moustiquaire.
Ian est très gentil et serviable. Nous recommandons sans hésiter !
Merci pour le séjour ! ;)
De merveilleux invités et un plaisir d'accueillir à El Rancho !
Notre séjour chez Ian et Lucia a été une incroyable surprise ! Non seulement ils ont été extrêmement acceuillants et bienveillants, le site est juste magnifique et les installations sanitaires qu'ils ont mis à disposition vous font vivre une expérience idéale confortable et dans le respect de la nature! Les espaces communs sont géniaux et la vue sur l'eau est magique, particulièrement au coucher de soleil ! Notre expérience à Sandbanks aurait sincèrement été moins bonne si on n'était pas allés chez eux ! Je vous le recommande vivement. Merci Ian & Lucia !
Thank you Ian and Lucia!!!
It was perfect!!
Perfect for me as well. You guys were a pleasure to host
Beautiful site in the nature, steps away from the lake and the dock. Quiet. Friendly host. Thank you for your hospitality Ian!
I really enjoyed having you and your daughter here ! You were awesome guests.
We really enjoyed staying with Ian! He was an extremely gracious and engaging host. We unfortunately arrived late at night on an evening with high winds. Ian stayed up in order to welcome us and helped us with accommodations when the weather became worse. The land is great, right on the water and beautiful. Lots of great features to make for a welcoming and comfortable getaway.
Awesome to have you both here and while weather conditions were not ideal -- you now know how beautiful El Rancho is and I am sure you will be back !!
The view of the lake is breathtaking. Lucia's campsite is private and serene. The waterfront and the floating dock make it a great place to launch a kayak or canoe or to cast off and try for a fish. There's a secluded spot for your tent and a nice fire pit overlooking the water. It was exactly the camping experience we were looking for. We could not have asked for a better host, very friendly and helpful and there if you need him. We will certainly be booking in the future and letting our friends know about this awesome secret waterfront getaway.
It was a pleasure having you at our property and happy you enjoyed your stay despite the weather not being the best. We look forward to seeing you again.

If anyone needs tips on how to cook just about everything over an open fire -- these are the guys to ask ! The smells coming from their campsite -- at all hours -- were mouth watering.
