Site 5 Tiny House
Arrived late at night and took me a while to locate the cabin in the dark which is on the right side in a lower corner of the tree lines, the second grass field, after the outhouse, RVs, shower and main house. Map on site not very helpful, but I'd arrive in the daytime.
Cabin is exactly as photoed. There's solar power but no lights inside. I charged my power station with the 100W solar panel. Plug and play. A furnace is not set up so don't use it. Use the firepit outside. Lots of firewoods.
Cellphone reception is dismal, but you get the best reception near the RVs where there is a cellphone tower not far from there.
Oh and there's warm shower during the day.
Host was patient and friendly. Thanks for the stay.

If solitude is what you are looking for, you have found it. Ivan’s massive property goes on forever. There was not another person to be seen and only the faint sound of the occasional car in the far off distance. Yet it is only a short drive away from the lovely town of Meaford and many beautiful hikes. Relax and enjoy.

Thank you Ivan for your hosting :) We were really comfortable up in our tent site. We enjoyed the proximity with nature, the views of the sky, the birds...we even saw a heron !! Our dogs were happy too

Site 5 Tiny House
Great host, private and peaceful
Ivan was so patient and helpful when planning our trip. We were coming with three dog-selective dogs and wanted to ensure we would be far from other guests with dogs. Ivan was quick to respond and suggested which site would be best. We chose the tiny house to offer an option for the dogs to have some time away from each other and although unfinished it was clean and comfortable and offered a good night sleep when I discovered my dog was not a tent sleeper lol. There is a forested area but otherwise it’s a field so a shade tent is recommended on hot sunny days (and rainy days too!). You can hear the guns from the neighbouring gun club but otherwise it is quiet and peaceful. I am directionally challenged and found the map to be a bit confusing, signs would have been helpful. The toilet is a ways away from a few of the sites, so be prepared. My dog adored running through the field, it ended up being perfect for him and gave him the freedom he doesn’t normally get. Meaford proper is only a few mins away and offers a beach and cute downtown worth checking out. Would come back and would recommend!

Ivan was great at providing directions and making us feel welcome. We had a great time! The site description fails to mention the there are bee hives directly beside the camp site which is fine unless you have a curious dog or kid. The drive on the property to the site is a bit rough on your car if you have a regular car and not a truck. There were also loads of fire ants at our site which made it uncomfortable for us (especially the dogs). Also very limited shade. That being said, that's part of camping and those things aren't necessarily manageable so no fault to the host at all. The outhouse was clean and firewood was super convenient and a great price. Very private and loads of room for dogs and kids to run and play.
