Sparrow Lake Camp

4 sites · Tents126 acres · Severn Bridge, ON
Sparrow Lake Camp is situated on the southernmost tip of the majestic Canadian Shield.  The site is known to have been a campground for bands of the Huron people prior to the European intrusion.  It is considered probable that Samuel de Champlain, the first European to explore Huronia, spent a night on this site in the 17th Century.In 1892, what would become the west side of the current property was sold by pioneer Captain Thomas Stanton to Toronto's renowned Massey family to act as their summer resort.  The resort sported the main lodge, dining room, and cottages and was only accessible by train and steamer. From the onset, the Masseys used the site as a summer retreat for the Young Men's Bible League of the Central Methodist Church. Today, the property is a thriving summer camp that also offers overnight tent stays with stunning lake views.

Next to Mono Cliffs Provincial Park

1 site · RV, Tent10 acres · Mono, ON
This is a very private little slice of heaven that I've been pleased to steward for over 20 years. If you love the sound of frogs singing, and bullfrogs plucking their banjo strings, red-winged blackbirds trilling, you will love it here. The property is literally right across the road from the Mono Cliffs Provincial Park which boasts amazing trails, views and features the Niagara Escarpment. The 4-acre pond/wetland is designated 'Provincially Significant' by the Ministry of Natural Resources and is an important part of the Nottawasaga Watershed. This area is renowned for its terrain - the fields are rolling and the views are quite special. You will enjoy a private firepit and private overlook at the pond with hammock. The site isn't visible from the road. Our house is visible from the site but far enough away as to not disturb one another. We have a newly added outhouse with lighting that will make your stay comfortable.

The roof and flooring, crafted with care, echo the natural beauty that surrounds you.

The best camping near Sibbald Point Provincial Park guide

Overview

About

Set on the south shores of Lake Simcoe, this popular park features a big crescent of sand and warm, shallow waters. Swimming and sunbathing are obvious choices, and some visitors never venture beyond the shore. But you’ll be rewarded if you do. Get out on the water, paddling a canoe or kayak, or fishing for jumbo perch, northern pike, lake trout, and pickerel. Lace up your hiking boots—or even a good pair of shoes—to make the loop on the Maidenhair Fern Trail or take a walk into Sibbald family history using a route that includes the 1836 family estate, an 1877 Anglican church, and a cemetery where you’ll find the grave of one of Canada’s most famous authors (Stephen Leacock).

Notable campgrounds

  • Best for early risers: Sites along three different loops (#200-381, #402-440, and #501-586) are completely radio-free.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Start planning early, especially if visiting in summer. This is one of Toronto’s favourite escapes, and the millions in the metro area are less than an hour’s drive away.
  2. While first-come, first-served sites are a possibility in spring and fall, you’re unlikely to find anything available if you don’t book ahead. On summer holidays, including Canada Day and Labour Day, even parking spots are hard to come by.

When to go

Open year-round for day use, camping is only offered between May and October. The seasons in this part of Central Ontario are very distinct—winter can be frigid, and summers hot and steamy. The best swimming is in late July and early August when the lake has had enough time to absorb the warmth of summer, but before evenings turn chilly, a change that can take place as early as late August. But be warned—the beach can be extremely busy with day-use visitors on weekends. Autumn is far less buggy, and beautiful thanks to the deciduous forest bursting into a canvas of orange, red and gold.

Know before you go

  • The nearby town of Keswick has a number of handy conveniences, including laundry and more than one grocery store.
  • Ask about the discovery program, during which staff members lead nature walks, teach children’s crafts and games, and offer evening talks from guest speakers at the amphitheatre.
  • Aspiring fishers can get started with the park’s free Learn to Fish program, which includes two hours of hands-on instruction and experience.
