Wild Forest Camping & Beach Uproad

3 sites · Tents200 acres · Meaford, ON
Learn more about this land:The land is framed by the historic Bruce Trail to the north, Billy Bishop airport (only a few small prop-private flights daily) to the west, Concession 6 N on the East, and Highway 26 on the south end of the property.  There is a forest on the north end of our land where the bruce trail runs through (C) and the farm sits more to the south end (A). There's a pine-forest that one has to hike into (B- see map in photos). Generally, the area is close to swimming in Lake Huron, the property is large (100 hectares) and the neighborhood is large grain. This means you can have a chunk of the forest all to yourself. For area A you can drive in the main driveway and park by the house/ barn or on the field. Or walk to a camping spot. No 4 wheel drive is necessary. Please stay away from the Barn as it is dangerous to be close by. For area C you can access the fields from Concession 6 N at one of the gates past (North) of the driveway. You will need a 4-wheel drive to not get stuck in the field. Please do not park on the agricultural field. For area B You will park your car behind a gate right off Highway 26 and hike in to find a site to pitch a tent. There are about 3 spots for cars behind the first set of Pines. You might need a 4-wheel drive.  It's completely up to you where you set up camp.We ask that you do not light any open fires as this is a coniferous forest. Feel free to walk in as far you want to find your spot. If you walk too far you will come up to a field and the farmhouse. We ask that you do not camp on the agricultural fields.

La Finca

3 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents49 acres · Owen Sound, ON
We are fortunate to call this ecologically diverse and extremely private piece of land home, and we are excited to welcome you here to explore the magic for yourself. Our 50 acre parcel would have comprised much of the maple bush for the original 400 acre farm property. The stone fence rows and laneways lined with large boulders are remnants from the days or horse drawn carriages, likely put in place hundreds of years ago. In addition to the maple bush there are several acres of cedar bush, open wild flower meadows, as well as fields dotted with larger shade-giving trees. A small half acre of the property is used to farm fresh cut flowers which you are welcome to visit. We also have a kitchen garden, 10 egg-laying hens, 2 very friendly outdoor cats, and our black lab Abby who will likely greet you with a bark (she is very friendly). In the summer months you can enjoy a handful of lakes for swimming and boating all within 10-15 minutes of our property. We are happy to share details and locations. We are conveniently located just off of Highway 10, ten minutes north of Markdale and 25 minutes south of Owen Sound. If you are headed north to Tobermory, we are a perfect mid way point if coming from Toronto, with Tobermory just an hour and a half north of us.

Camping in Bruce Peninsula guide

Overview

Bruce Peninsula is home to tall Niagara Escarpment cliffs and pristine blue Georgian Bay waters, which means campers can fish, hike, golf, snowmobile, and boat, depending on the season. Nearby Georgian Bay Islands National Park draws visitors from all over the country to explore its 11 maintained trails, including wheelchair accessible walking trails. Campers will find lots of nearby campsites, cabin rentals, and RV parks with full electric, sewer, and water hookups and wifi in the area, as well. Campgrounds and lodge rentals also abound near popular attractions like Driftwood Cove in Tobermory with its ancient trees as well as the celebrated Sauble Beach where beach camping leads to swimming and sailing on the open waters.

Where to go

Georgian Bay Islands National Park

Sixty-three islands make up Georgian Bay Islands National Park—part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Beausoleil Island is the park’s largest at 8-kilometres long and features lakeside vistas that campers can hike or bike to for the night. The park also hosts 130 campsites among several campgrounds—some are more primitive while others offer amenities such as flush toilets and showers. Keep in mind that the park is only accessible by boat or kayak, but there are shuttle boats available.

Tobermory

Scuba divers flock to Tobermory, the “freshwater scuba diving capital of the world.” Explore Bruce Peninsula Grotto, a wave-carved cave in the bay. Or explore shipwreck dive sites at Fathom Five National Marine Park. Then visit nearby Driftwood Cove to witness its famed stands of cliff’s edge trees—among the oldest trees in eastern North America. Its distinctive ecosystem is also home to rare orchids, like the ram’s head lady slipper. Bruce Peninsula National Park is renowned for the Bruce Trail that meanders along the crags of the Niagara Escarpment. Find rustic cabin rentals, lodges, and campsites with washrooms and picnic tables throughout Tobermory—near the cove and other attractions.

Sauble Beach

Sauble Beach, part of the eastern shores of Lake Huron, is widely known as Canada’s best beach, stretching more than 11 kilometres. Visitors come for day trips to swim, sail, beachcomb, and enjoy postcard-worthy sunsets. Campers can also find many RV parks, campsites, and cabin rentals nearby in Sauble Falls Provincial Park for beach camping experiences with amenities like electric hookups, showers, firepits, potable water, and comfort stations.

Niagara Falls

Head to Ontario’s Golden Horseshoe to check out Niagara Falls. Though popular with tourists, the region also boasts quiet, relaxed campsites for tent or RV camping as well as cabin rentals or yurts situated close to the falls. Some campgrounds offer pools, playgrounds, and full-service tour centers as well as 30 or 50-amp hookups. With romantic views and convenient walkways, the Falls offer campers a majestic sight. Plus, there are lots of convenient restaurants and shops nearby to grab provisions before heading back to the campsite.
