Heavens Acres has been a stop over since the 1850's for people travelling by horse from Toronto to Owen Sound. We have 100 acres surrounded by another 200 acres of conservation land. There is camping in the pine forest as well at the very back of the property where you will find a hardwood bush with trails. Please note that the hipcamp map shows a large body of water on the property, as does google driving maps. It is a marsh, not a lake. Google Earth shows it better. There is however, a creek and pond, but don't bring your boat. :) This is a "LEAVE NO TRACE" campsite, so please take all garbage when you leave.

Remote plane crash with cabin

Great site!

Camping at Rick's camp site was great! It was a wonderful experience for a "true" camping experience. The cabin, plane and outhouse were all in great condition, and the site has a nice little spot for the fire pit. We dealt with very few bugs and insects on our stay, and it was wonderful connecting with nature. The cell phone reception is good, but I found it most enjoyable to disconnect from my phone during our stay. The owner Rick is friendly and chill, and it was fun taking a tour of the trails in his side-by-side. Firewood is available for purchase and Rick delivers it directly to the campsite by truck. It was fun gathering kindling from the nearby woods, building a campfire, and making s'mores. During the day, you can walk around and see local wildlife like squirrels, frogs, and deer. On clear nights, you can walk just a couple minutes down the road to get a great view of the starry sky. Especially for my first time camping, the three of us had an amazing time! Overall I would highly recommend trying out this campsite, and we would happily return.

Remote plane crash with cabin

Beautiful campsite + friendly host

Pleasant and peaceful location with a wonderful little cabin to sleep in. The plane wreckage is as promised, super cool to see in person for everybody, especially fans of aviation. Worth staying in overnight if you can fit in comfortably. The host was extremely considerate and accommodated our late arrival, personally guiding us to the campsite and giving an explanation of everything. He made sure to check in, and informed us of any possible safety concerns (coyotes yapping in the distance etc.)

Family trip

Incredible place to stay. Host is wonderful. Took me and the kiddo out for a rip. Gorgeous landscapes and trails. Perfect shelter. Clean out house. Awesome foldable benches. Would love to come back.

Pine Forest with Wetlands and Creek

This is the second time I've been to the place. First time at the plane crash cabin. This time at a bunkie. The laneway is quite off road. High clearance vehicle recommended. The bunkie has a bunk bed and a loft bed with a ladder and some other tables and chairs. There are a solar motion light outdoors and a solar lights indoors. A firepits with benches. A outhouse. No shower. Cellphone reception is quite good. Great price. And the hose showed me on the map where the bunkie is located. Recommended.

Remote plane crash with cabin

Slept like a dream in the plane cra

Me and my daughter's second time camping on Rick's Hipcamp. It was a great stay and being able to sleep in the plane was a very cool experience. Rick's is a great host and I highly recommend a stay here! Easy access but secluded enough to feel a million miles away from everything

Pine Forest with Wetlands and Creek

Camping in the middle of the woods is a perfect way to connect with the nature. There’s a lot of stars too! Would recommend bringing warm blankets cause it gets really cold inside the cabin. Would def go back!
