Welcome to Backwoods Cabin Co. We have two unique glamping cabins available on our property located on the outskirts of Tweed and Madoc.

There are markers along the trail so you know the boundaries of the area My family and I live on the property, we are here if you need anything urgently. We do spend a lot of time outside so the odd time you might hear our kids playing. We do have 2 VERY friendly dogs named Copper and Chief who might bark at you when you pull into the driveway but are on an electric fence so cannot get back to the cabin. We also have an outdoor cat named Wessie that may come and say hello. Follow us @backwoodscabinco *** PLEASE NOTE: THIS CABIN IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WOODS SO THERE WILL BE BUGS IN THE APPROPRIATE SEASONS (SPRINGTIME BLACK FLIES AND MOSQUITOS, SUMMERTIME MOSQUITOS AND DEER FLIES, FALL SOMETIMES MOSQUITOS) ***

Overview

About

Embark on a journey to Timber Island Provincial Park, where the call of migratory birds echoes over meadows and oak-hickory forests. This secluded nature reserve, accessible only by boat, offers a serene escape for nature enthusiasts. With no campgrounds on the island, visitors can immerse themselves in bird watching and exploring rare plant species amid the island's unique limestone landscape.

When to go

The best time to visit Timber Island Provincial Park is during the spring and fall migrations, when the island becomes a hub for birdwatching. Summer offers lush greenery and full blooms, but be mindful of the weather as the park is only accessible by boat. Winter visits are not recommended due to harsh conditions and limited access.

Know before you go

Access to Timber Island is by boat only, with permission required from the Superintendent at Sandbanks Provincial Park.
There are no visitor facilities on the island, so come prepared with essentials and plan to leave no trace.
Check for any park advisories or restrictions before your visit, as conditions can change.
