Pine the Sky

7 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents8 acres · Southgate, ON

This beautiful spot was re-forested with pine a number of years ago, and was sectioned off from the surrounding farmland, which is now maintained by the mennonite community. It is 8 1/2 acres of wetland and forest, with a mown perimeter, and cool places to tuck into the forest for the night. The current owner was a special educator, and now is slowly turning the land into her homestead. There is a beautiful, spa quality outdoor shower next to a tidy and 'fancier than most' outhouse, a strawberry patch as well as wild alpine strawberries all over the property, a big dog and a small indoor cat keep her company. Here is what the land offers: -Bunkie in the Forest: A sweet 8x8 ft. space with new bunk and mattresses as of April 2023 -Strawberry Fields bunkie: an 10x12 space with a loft with a queen memory foam mattress and a main floor with a full futon and a small table -Campsites: Meadow, Forest and River spots. Close to each other, but you'd never know it! All three are chill and serene places. The property backs onto a ten-foot swimming hole in an otherwise shallow part of the Saugeen River. -RV Spot: With electric hook up ideal for RVs 30 feet and under -a connection to the organization, 'Black Folks Camp Too'! Welcoming to all!!!!! So much to see and do in the area!

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 near Wiarton guide

Overview

Wiarton is a charming destination with stunning natural beauty—and plentiful opportunities to explore it on renowned scenic hiking trails. Venture out to the Tobermory section of Bruce Trail to see views of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. Nearby Bruce Peninsula National Park and Sauble Beach offer different types of adventure, including swimming, boating, and more wildlife viewing. Then, marvel at Inglis Falls while hiking or picnicking in the conservation area. After a day away, set up in campgrounds within Bluewater Park to start fishing as soon as the sun rises. Or, park the RV on Bruce Peninsula to access potable water, flush toilets, and firepits.

Where to go

Bruce Peninsula National Park

Fifty minutes northwest of Wiarton, Bruce Peninsula National Park and its rugged trails, including Bruce Trail, showcase stunning cliff-top views of ancient cedar trees. Hike to the Grotto, which is accessible from Cyprus Lake Campground. Or, enjoy swimming, canoeing, and kayaking in Georgian Bay’s crystal-clear waters. In winter, snowshoe or cross-country ski on land that surrounds the lake. Campgrounds are accessible year-round and include amenities such as potable water taps, flush toilets, and firepits. Campers can choose between frontcountry and backcountry sites—or glamp in a yurt on-site.

Bluewater Park

Home of world-famous Wiarton Willie, Bluewater Park offers shorefront camping right in town. Take a swim in Colpoy's Bay—or try kayaking, canoeing, or boating instead. Anglers can also set up on the bay to catch local bass and trout. After a day in the water, hike more of Bruce Trail as it winds through surrounding woodlands. Campers can set up on park grounds in a tent or RV and access wifi, electric hookups, and washrooms.

Inglis Falls Conservation Area

Thirty minutes from Wiarton lies Inglis Falls Conservation Area. Discover its up-close beauty and view the stunning 18-meter waterfall cascading over layers of limestone. Or enjoy panoramic views of the falls from various lookout points. Hiking trails of all levels wind through scenic Bruce Peninsula. Hikers can stop and have lunch at on-site picnic areas, as well. Hipcampers will want to find a Hipcamp nearby since there are no campgrounds on-site.

It’s a popular time for campers who enjoy swimming, boating, and fishing in Georgian Bay. Hiking and wildlife viewing are popular in spring and fall when temperatures are mild—ranging from 5–15°C.
