Tent Camping on South Muskoka River
Gorgeous fall camping on the river!
We absolutely adored Joanne's sanctuary! We stayed 3 nights, and 2 of those we stayed in our tent near the fire. The weather turned very cold and rainy and we moved our sleeping bag inside for the night. It was a welcome refuge to have access to the cute cabin space that Joanne messaged us we could shelter in if the weather turned. We kept warm with the fire and we even had a chance to canoe down the river on the sunnier warm day. Incredible fall colours everywhere around and peaceful morning coffee on the river, what more could you ask for? Fantastic camp kitchen with everything you could possibly want or need to cook, including propane. The outhouse was handy and convenient as well. We had an amazing time and hope to return. One note is that there are lots of cottages next to you and across the river, and sound does carry. So you won't feel completely remote/private but very peaceful and lovely nonetheless.

Beautiful getaway!!
This is the perfect place to unwind for a weekend with friends or as a couple. The campsite is clean with direct river access. The stars are beautiful at night!! There is a outhouse, fire pit and a kayak and canoe. We really enjoyed getting outdoors!! The host was communicative and provided a site manual for our stay. We will be back in the future! Thank you for hosting us

Beautiful site on the river!
We set up our tent in a nice flat open area near the river, dock, and fire pit. We explored the river in the canoe that Joanne provides, lounged in the hammock on the deck, and enjoyed a rainy morning in her screened porch next to her cabin. The river was deep, clear, and easy to paddle. 1.7 km downstream are some chutes or rapids. It's a beautiful destination! You can walk the road to the chutes, which is safer than paddling there. There are falls upstream too, but quite a bit farther. Cell service was limited but just enough to send and receive texts or a little browsing if you are very patient. We loved our stay here!

Toad Heaven!
Joanne’s land is beautiful. On the sunny side of a peaceful river surrounded by friendly neighbours is a lovely cottage with a beautiful yard filled with toads! We must have caught at least 30, it was a highlight of the trip for sure. In addition to the fun wildlife (we also saw some red squirrels, ducks and frogs!) there is a waterfall 20 minutes down the road where you can walk right up and see the water rush by. The neighbours are close on one side but they are a lovely family with great taste in music haha. There is enough phone signal (on both Rogers and Telus) to send text messages and make calls, but not enough for data. A perfect getaway from social media! It was a wonderful trip and we look forward to visiting again :)

Dream-like property, honestly. You're located right on the river and have access to stunning dark-lit skies if you're looking to explore some astronomy. It feels like you're on a retreat when visiting and it comes fairly equipped with an outdoor kitchen, utensils etc. Take a canoe ride across the river too - highly recommended! Just be aware that the river ends in waterfalls so don't go too far left (when facing the river).
