GNARNIA

1 site · Lodging1 acre · Tiny, ON
Welcome to Gnarnia! Enjoy your very own tiny, private, cozy cabin in the woods. Located on Georgian Bay, just a few minutes from beautiful Awenda Provincial Park. The accommodations here are heated, comfortable and you have your very own 2 piece bathroom... indoors! In warmer months there is an outdoor shower. Up to 2 guests can rest comfortably in a queen size bed with electric fireplace, mini-fridge, microwave, and hot tub available for use. In winter, take a cold plunge in Georgian Bay, we dare you! Kayaks, Sup's, snow-shoes, yak-trax, board games, puzzles, firewood and a day pass to the park are also available. We do have wi-fi but no t.v. We encourage you to unplug and enjoy all that nature has to offer in this serene environment. Our little homestead is on the same property and we are happy to share, so help yourself to fresh eggs in the morning from our hen house and feel free to make a campfire and enjoy the (dark-sky) stargazing in the outdoor lounge area. Fireside or candle-lit dinner can be provided by request and we offer a breakfast cooler option too. We have everything you need to cook over the fire, bbq or camp stove, right outside the cabin. Georgian Bay is known for its many islands. Epic boating and snowmobile excursions can be arranged for you. Bring your mountain bike, fat bike, cross country ski's and hiking kit for a guided tour by request. Awenda Park has groomed trails for xc ski and there are also nearby groomed fat bike trails in winter. We are animal lovers here and welcome dogs that don't sleep on the bed and that are friendly to all, also by request. We look forward to sharing Gnarnia as a "glamping" experience and if you want to make this your very own elopement destination, that is what we do best @gnarniacraftceremonyco !

The best camping near Hardy Lake Provincial Park guide

Overview

About

Hardy Lake Provincial Park offers a serene escape into nature's embrace, where hiking trails wind through a landscape rich with Atlantic coastal plain species. Here, the echoes of Lake Algonquin's ancient shoreline resonate amid a diverse ecosystem. Although camping is not available, the park's day-use facilities invite adventurers to explore its rugged trails from sunrise to sunset.

When to go

The best time to visit Hardy Lake Provincial Park is during the warmer months, from late spring to early autumn, when the trails are most accessible and the flora is in full bloom. Winter visits offer a stark, frozen beauty, but be prepared for limited access and colder conditions.

Know before you go

  • Hardy Lake is a non-operating park with no overnight camping or fires permitted.
  • Day-use hours are from sunrise to sunset, ensuring your visit is planned accordingly.
  • Parking is available, but expect limited spaces and no other visitor facilities.
  • Trails can be rugged and challenging; wear appropriate footwear and exercise caution.
  • Respect the park's ecological significance by staying on designated trails and practicing Leave No Trace principles.
