El Rancho private waterfront property is a treed gently sloping oasis with two designated camping sites and one A-frame. Each site is complete with picnic table and fire pit, total privacy, waterfront and spectacular views. There is also a common area with hammocks, fire pit, lounge chairs for everyone to enjoy and a 30 foot dock -- perfect for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, sun tanning etc. For your convenience there is a composting toilet, running potable water and a super funky outdoor propane heated shower -- The massive 30 foot dock extends into the deep water, or wade out from the rocky shoreline that gradually slopes into Lake Ontario. Most of our guests use the property as a base to visit the nearby wine, cider and cheese makers. Cyclists will find themselves in the middle of a loop from Picton, so having a bicycle is ideal. Just down the road is a hiker's paradise with miles of trails running through a quiet forest. The property is big enough to maintain your privacy at your site, but your friendly hosts are always there for any needs you might have.

THE MAGICAL SUNSET, WATERFRONT
Ian and Lucia have made a very welcoming space on their property that allows you to be a bit secluded but also part of a communal setting if you so choose. Their eco-conscious philosophy extends to solar lighted pathways, well kept composting toilet, and maintaining the property in a most natural way. I loved my stay here! An FYI for anyone with mobility issues, there can be a lot of traveling up and down the path to the washrooms and to where cars are parked (which are away from the sites). Although not terribly far, the constant up and down may be challenging for some.

THE SECRET WATERFRONT
What a beautiful spot! The directions are clear and it was easy to find. There were another group of campers that were super lovely, it was great to get to know them. The hosts are more than welcoming and have created a unique place for peaceful getaways! We brought our small dog and she had a wonderful time, we felt super welcomed with our animal and the other campers gave her a lot of love too! Gorgeous spot :)

GLAMPING A-FRAME+BED, WATERFRONT
Camping in the County
Lucia and Ian are super friendly and welcoming - we really enjoyed meeting them. We liked the off-grid experience, the greenery and the overall feel to the place. Amazing sunsets and star gazing from the dock. It is a unique place with lots of character - just what the county needs!

THE MAGICAL SUNSET, WATERFRONT
Really magical
The camping site is really close to the water, we went to bed with the sound of the waves, really nice. We had breakfast on the pier, with nobody around, couldn't be better. The owner was really nice and helpful. We wish we could go back again !
