Off-grid Waterfront Forest Camp
4 sites · RVs, Tents20 acres · South Frontenac, ON
Learn more about this land:
Welcome to our Off-grid Waterfront Forest Campground!
We have 20 Acres (mostly forested) and 4 campsites to choose from for both tent campers and RV/trailer campers.
There is plenty of space to pitch your tent and a large area for parking. The site is suitable for RVs 45 feet or less (you will be parking on grass/gravel). The trail to the water is about a 10 minute hike from the parking area. The water has quite a lot of algae by the shore. Great for paddling or fishing not so much for swimming. There are multiple fire-pits scattered across the property. Compost toilet outhouse is by the parking area next to the shipping container.
Choose from multiple sites from a grassy/gravel semi-private area near the driveway with car access or hike up the bedrock (50metres from driveway) for an amazing view of the stars and moon, or for optimal privacy, there are campsites available along the trails in the forest.
We are located right by the Rideau Canal, Lock 45 - Lower Brewers (please note that bridge is currently under construction - access is through Sunbury road or Battersea) We also have many trails and lakes nearby and Little Cataraqui Creek Conservation Area is only a 20-minute drive. This is a great hike close to Kingston, especially in the fall. The track is also groomed for XC Skiing in the winter. This is one of many possible hikes here and takes me between 1 and 2 hours. It's a great escape if you just have a little time.
We run our property solely on solar energy so electrical output is minimal. There is a 3 prong extension cord available for use by the outhouse that can take small loads such as lights, charging electronics, and higher loads during sunlight hours.
Campfires are permitted (firewood available at 5$/crate), pets are welcome, and potable water is available on the property. We also have wifi and cell reception!

Black Maple Farm
4 sites · Lodging, Tents6 acres · Harrowsmith, ON
For the last 25 years we have lived here on our 6 acres of property where our Maple Sugar Bush allows us to produce our very own maple syrup every spring.
[Side note: The sugar shack itself has been on the property for over 40 years.]
We also raise a small but varied collection of farm animals, grow vegetables, and operate a 3 generation (Mother, Daughter, and Granddaughter) Artisan Craft Business, that sells handmade "Canadiana Themed" Home Decor goods and Maple Products at our local Farmer's Market.
( Visit us on Instagram or Facebook @Blackmaplefarm)
Our Farm is located on the very edge of the Canadian Shield, so most of the landscape is a rocky, rugged, and naturally wooded. Throughout the property are numerous short, looping, walking trails that meander throughout the Sugar bush, pasture area, 3 season pond, and our farm animal "homes". These trails are perfect for short nature walks, where you'll experience natural wildflowers and plants, see and hear song birds, small animal wildlife and of course, farm life too.
We are also located on the edge of the Eastern Ontario "Dark Sky" Area, which means we have a very nice view from the edge of our pasture of the North Sky stars on a clear night, with very minimal light pollution.
Our varied collection of farm animals includes; lots of chickens, (including roosters who DO crow in the early morning hours), miniature goats, horses, a couple of barn cats, and a dog.
During your stay with us you are welcome to come learn about and interact with our animals and daily farm life, if you so desire, and farm fresh eggs and maple syrup are also available to purchase too.

The best camping near Silver Lake Provincial Park guide
Overview
About
Campers choose this compact park in Eastern Ontario for its quiet waterfront setting along nine-kilometre-long Silver Lake, set between Toronto and Ottawa, 85 kilometres north of Kingston. The park has a boat launch, a playground, and two sandy beaches along the lake, which is also a good spot for canoeing or kayaking. While the park is too small for much hiking, you can fish for yellow perch, smallmouth bass, lake trout, and northern pike. Silver Lake’s three campgrounds have a total of 100 campsites, accommodating tents and RVs, plus a comfort station with flush toilets and showers.
Notable campgrounds
- Best for RVs: Wesley Campground
- Best for lakeside camping: Algonquin Campground
- Best for barrier-free camping: Dawson Campground
Tips for snagging a campsite
- Reservations for campsites at Silver Lake Provincial Park are available up to five months in advance. Book online through the Ontario Parks reservation service.
- The waterfront sites in the Algonquin and Dawson campgrounds book first, so be ready to reserve these sites as soon as they become available.
When to go
Silver Lake Provincial Park is open only from mid-May through mid-September. July and August are the busiest months, although the park stays active into September as the trees begin to take on their fall colors. Come on weekdays to avoid the weekend crowds.
Know before you go
- You can buy firewood and ice in the Silver Lake park store and pick up basic supplies in the village of Sharbot Lake outside the park. Otherwise, the town of Perth, 30 kilometres east of the park, is your best bet for shopping.
- The park rents canoes, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards for paddling along Silver Lake.
- Silver Lake is located in one of Ontario’s main maple syrup-producing regions. While the March-April sugaring season, when the trees are “tapped” for their sap, takes place outside of the best camping months, you can find local syrup year-round—perfect for pancakes around the campfire.
