Welcome to Birdwell Bluffs, a one-of-a-kind Foraging Farm on Lake Erie offering Costal Camping experiences for PRIVATE GETAWAYS (1 to 4 people in our charming Lakefront Cabin or LARGE GROUPS (of up to 30 people!) along one of Canada's most unique shorelines. This place will be ALL YOURS! Completely SECLUDED, PRIVATE and GORGEOUS! No sharing with other campers or guests, we ONLY book to ONE Group at a time to ensure you have the BEST possible stay. As stewards of one of Canada’s most vulnerable ecological corridors, our mission is to protect and celebrate the rare biodiversity of the Costal Carolinian forest while inviting others to experience land and water in harmony. We practice light-touch agro-tourism, regenerative foraging, and place-based learning—offering immersive experiences that deepen our shared connection to nature. Every trail we walk, every plant we nurture, every bird we protect—it all begins with ecological respect and the belief that conservation is a lived relationship. The Land Perched atop massive 80-foot clay cliffs overlooking the warm, shallow waters of Lake Erie, our Foraging Farm is home to some of the most pristine shoreline left in Southern Ontario. From the sun-soaked sandy Private Beach below to the rare Carolinian forest above, Birdwell Bluffs is a sanctuary for humans and wildlife alike. Our soil is rich in natural clay, believed for generations to offer skin-soothing and detoxifying benefits. In summer, the lake warms to a silky embrace, perfect for swimming, floating, or simply watching the eagles circle overhead.

Surrounded by stunning views of nature & farm land. Explore nearby hiking trails & wineries, enjoy stargazing by the fire, or simply relax & reconnect with nature. If you're seeking a romantic getaway, our glamping experience is tailored to exceed your expectations. Guests will have access to power, but please keep in mind this is a remote experience. Charging phones and small personal electronics is no issue; however, we have limited power beyond what is provided with the tent & amenities. This is an active farm and there will be the occasional tractors that drive by, farmers out in the field at times, and bird bangers are put in the vineyard in mid August to mid September. They only go off periodically between 9:30am and dusk to accommodate guests peaceful mornings. Please exercise caution & respect while on the property with regards to the weather, wildlife, and farmers/neighbours. Hot Days / Hot Nights - For your comfort, plug in the Dyson fan to cool down, or unzip the tent to maximize airflow. This has proven to be effective as temperatures tend to cool down in the evenings around the farm. Cool Days / Cool Nights - We supply plenty of blankets for cooler evenings. We also suggest snuggling up with your favourite person who is sharing the glamping experience with you.
