Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.
'Whispering Pines' was bought about 35 years ago as our dream retirement home, a place to rest, have a quiet life, enjoy nature and have a peaceful retirement for ever and ever...In past years we have been a family camp. and an event camp with camping festivals, special events, and day visits. Now we welcome visitors who are looking for a casual, rustic, laid back experience with nature in a simple, peaceful setting. Nature is allowed to thrive on our property, and the entire property is forested and wild. The majority of our campsites are shaded under a verdant and lush canopy. Our private beach and small lake welcome you for a swim. All we ask of our visitors is: that whatever you bring in you take home with you, that you leave your campsite and the property the way you found it, and the only thing you take from here are pictures and happy memories. All of our campsites are off-grid, un-serviced, drive-in camping. Campfire wood and recycling facilities are available on site. Maintained outhouses are available throughout the property. There is no potable water on the property so please bring your own drinking and cooking water. Children under 12 can camp for free. When booking a campsite please only include any guests over 12 years of age in your guest count. Children under 12 do not need to be included in your booking. Contact us to inquire about large group and event rates. We host LARPing weekends twice a month. We also have a limited number of seasonal sites available from June to September. I love this property and all the people who visit us, many have become extended family and for this I am grateful. There is nothing nicer than to have people drop by and spend a couple of hours, a day or a weekend, sometime when I get real lucky it's for a longer period of time :-)Nature is allowed to thrive on our property, and the entire property is forested and wild. The majority of our campsites are shaded under a verdant and lush canopy.    All we ask of our visitors is:  -that whatever you bring in you take home with you, -that you leave your campsite and the property the way you found it (or slightly better)-and the only thing you take from here are pictures and happy memories. Please, respect the land and take care of the space while you are using it. Most importantly, respect your fellow campers and their experience --------- We offer many spacious off-grid rustic campsites amongst the trees offering both sun and shade. All our campsites are drive-in camping. Our campsites that have firepits have picnic tables. The site you camp at is selected when you arrive, we do not reserve specific campsites. Camping for children under 12 is free. When booking a campsite please only include any guests over 12 years of age in your guest count. Children under 12 do not need to be included in your booking. There is a private beach and small lake on our property. There are also maintained outhouses available throughout the property Fires are only allowed in our campsites with existing firepits. Campfire wood and recycling facilities are available on site. Please leave your wood at home. We have a main firepit and stage adjacent to the beach that is available for large groups and events. Please contact us directly to discuss seasonal and event rates,  and special rates for large groups.

A great option just outside of Ottawa. Eileen is a pleasant and accommodating host and would stay here again.

Camping in an enchanted forest
I loved camping on Eileen's land.It was a magical experience. There's a really nice attention to details on the campgrounds and I especially recommend visiting her fairy garden for some tea.You feel like you are in Narnia or The bridgw of terabithia.

Disappointing experience
Reading all the positive reviews we were very disappointed with our experience here. Eileen recommended to choose the spot closer to the lake. While there were enough camping spots to choose from we were surprised to find lots of garbage laying around the two spots near the lake. Empty cans, food trash, lots of used paper towels, trash in the fire ring, etc. And lots of flies, LOTS of them. We had repellent and bug spray which helped a little but not much. I hope it was a one off and you will have a better experience camping here. For me I won't come back 100%

Overall it was a great place to stop if your on a budget. The sites are very well maintained. You must remember to bring bug spray. The mosquitoes are extremely bad!. I did end up cutting my overnight short due to this. The plus side it has a beach and the host is very kind.
