Big Rock Eco Retreat is a serene and picturesque campground located on the shores of Weslemkoon Lake, in Addington Highlands Township. Situated amidst the breathtaking natural beauty of the surrounding crown land, this eco-friendly retreat offers visitors an unforgettable outdoor experience. The area is home to a variety of native wildlife, including moose, deer, black bears, loons, and eagles, which can often be spotted in their natural habitats. The campsite offers individual fire pits and gas BBQs at each site, allowing visitors to enjoy the great outdoors while cooking up a delicious meal. Hiking enthusiasts can explore the extensive network of hiking trails that wind through the woods, while fishing enthusiasts can try their luck in the lake, which is teeming with fish in the summertime. In the winter, visitors can enjoy ice fishing, snowmobiling, and snowshoeing, with well-maintained trails for all levels of experience. Each camping site can accommodate a hot tub for an additional fee, based on availability, making it a perfect way to unwind and relax. For those who want to explore the lake further, there is a marina with a general store open in the summer time. Visitors can purchase additional services such as smore kits, fishing rods, small boat rentals, private boat tours of the lake, and snowshoes in the winter. In addition, the retreat also offers a skating pond in the winter when the ice is thick enough. Overall, Big Rock Eco Retreat provides an idyllic setting for outdoor enthusiasts looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse themselves in nature.

We truly enjoyed staying Big Rock Eco retreat. Jason was super helpful and accommodating. We packed and left the city in the afternoon Friday rush and forgot a few key items. Jason being a super host, came in handy and made sure we had a great and smoothest experience possible. The resort territory is clean and beautiful. Kayaks a free to use and the lake was warm so we went for a swim on Saturday! We will definitely come back, thinking of ice fishing now! I recommend this resort for both single and family campers.

This particular site would be great for new campers wanting to experience camping. It is not actually in the forest but abutts it. The site is flat for pitching your tent however, make sure of placement away from the hillside as the water will shed directly to your tent if it rains heavily. The siting of the campsite and the hillside trees offer some shade to keep your tent cooler.

What a find!
Very attentive hosts, lovely property and more than we expected. We stayed on a tent site and felt it was very private. Highly recommended for people looking to relax and reconnect with nature.

Jason and Susie were exceptional hosts. Jason took great care of us, making sure we got enough wood and water. When we first arrived, Jason took us on a tour of the property in his side-by-side which was really awesome. They take a lot of pride in their property and it shows. It's really easy to get to (make sure you go through Madoc) and Jason has everything set up so you don't need to bring too much (just food and booze). Would love to stay in the dome next time!
