100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.

The 1 acre site is nestled and hidden away at the end of a private road, in the forest, next to ancient Canadian Shield rockfaces, on a pristine clean lake in the Madawaska Highlands. The shoreline is left natural with a floating dock. Swimming, fishing and kayaking is excellent. We are surrounded by hundreds of acres of crown land with an extensive path network reaching up to Foymount, the highest elevation in Southern Ontario. Killaloe is the closest town and Brudenell, a logging ghosttown, off the beaten path, is being rediscovered for its quaint beauty. Near Eganville, Foymount, Barrys Bay, Algonquin Park, BancroftThe 27ft very clean RV is fully equipped with everything you need. Full kitchen, bathroom with shower, bedding, BBQ, deck with seating area, firepit and wood, there is one canoe and two kayaks, lifejackets. The lake is a marvel, paddle to the Southend and see for yourself. Brudenell, a former watering hole and gambling town for loggers and lumberjacks is now a 'Ghosttown' that is rediscovered for its charm. Al Capone discovered the Letterkenny years ago and used it as a hide out. Foymount, an abandonned Cold War Military Post fits right in and is worth a visit. A Starwatchers delight! We are close to the challenging bicycle route "The Monarch" and just up the road from Quadeville and other quaint villages in the area along the winding roads. Old barns, farmhouses, stonefences, logcabins in the hills, on lakes, rocky lands, swampy bogs and old forests add to the reputation of these forgotten lands. But now younger generations are venturing back to these lands, and offer their varied skills in art, farming, crafting of all sorts at charming markets, survival skills and much more. Leave the busy citylife behind and explore, find pure nature and do some forest bathing refreshing mind and soul....

We loved our stay at Iris's trailer! It was clean and well maintained. It comes with everything you need; dishes, cutlery, cookware, bed linens and more. Iris was a wonderful host! She is close by if you need anything but also gives you your privacy. We enjoyed chatting with her and getting to hang out with her granddog Sterling. Iris's property is beautiful. The trailer sits tucked away by the trees for plenty of privacy. We really liked that the fire pit area is all gravel, we found the mosquitos to be very minimal. The short walk down to the water is a bit steep so take your time but once you get down to the dock it's worth it! The water is absolutely gorgeous! It's so clean and clear and perfect for swimming. You can jump in right off the dock! There's also a canoe and two kayaks available to use. We had the best time exploring the beautiful lake. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat. We look forward to booking again next year!

Fun times on Lorwell Lake.

It truly was a hidden gem. My two teenagers and I stay up there for five days and it was perfect! Iris was a generous and kind host. It had everything we needed including some AC! The water was pristine and the loons were always calling. We will definitely be back!

Small group weekend trip.

This lot on Lorwell lake is beautiful and super secluded for guests wanting a peaceful retreat. Iris was such a kind, welcoming, and accommodating host. We had forgot to bring coffee and she was more than happy to provide us with some instant grinds to get our morning brew. Our small group LOVED talking with her throughout our trip but also really appreciated the space and privacy she gave us. The trailer itself is clean, comfy, and has more than what we needed. Some parts of the trailer were a bit outdated; one example, we did have a small problem with the shower but it was fixed quickly. We would definitely stay here again. PS. Toby is our best camp friend forever 🐶

Iris is a great host. Although she lives nearby, she respects your privacy. The RV is nestled in the forest and very private. Loved the spacious and clean RV. The kitchen had everything that we needed from the plates, bowls, utensils, pot and pans, salt and pepper, coffee maker, BBQ and so much more. All linens were provided and freshly cleaned. Working toilet and shower. Clean drinking water provided. Lots of DVDs to watch. We used the A/C and heating while we were there and both worked beautifully. The private dock was spacious, and the sun sets were incredible. Full access to 2 kayaks and a canoe. Also loved the fire pit area. Next time we go we’ll definitely try our luck fishing.
