Secluded River Flats Camping

I recently stayed at this campsite, and it was a great experience overall. The site itself has picturesque views, with large, private spots that allow you to really soak in the natural surroundings. I particularly appreciated the amenities, including the BBQ, propane, picnic table, and Muskoka chairs, which made the stay comfortable and enjoyable. The pit toilet was impressively clean, and there was plenty of wildlife to observe. We saw frogs, raccoons, and even had several up-close sightings of two blue herons that live around the river's edge at the end of the apple orchard. While you could hear some traffic noise, the road isn't very busy, so it wasn't too disruptive. One important tip: a screened-in dining tent and head netting are helpful because the bugs can be bothersome at times, especially the small flies that get into your eyes, mouth, and hair. That said, there are also times when there are no bugs at all. There is no direct river access for paddling, but you can carry a flotation device to a spot where you can get access to the rest of the river. Overall, this campsite is a great choice for those looking to connect with nature while still enjoying some convenient amenities.

Private, peaceful, and perfect!

We absolutely loved our stay at Janet’s secluded campsite. It was very private, peaceful and just perfect. We had incredible weather and enjoyed listening to the diverse birds in the area every morning. The bbq grill was a huge advantage and the campsite is perfectly positioned to give you sunshine and shade. The trails on the property were lovely and we even spotted an owl and a bald eagle! We can’t wait to return and highly recommend this site!

Janet is a great host! We have been camping at the “secluded river flats” campsite for the past 3 years now and we always have a great time! It is a well kept area, nice and private, the right distance from Goderich, and Janet always messages right back if you have any problems or questions! We look forward to camping again next year!

Large spacious private setting.

This campsite was nice and large, and very private. It has a clean outhouse and nice amenities like a BBQ with table, a cooking grill for the fire pit, and some chairs with cushions. I loved the tranquil and natural surrounding, but it also has nicely kept lawn areas where you could spread out and play games. It’s a short drive to town and the beach, which we also got to enjoy. I would definitely go back again!
