· Lanark, Lanark, Ontario

27 acres hosted by Nicole S.

2 tent pitches

This property was the site of the Herron Mills logging town over a hundred years ago. Originally the property was 400 acres and dotted with the logger's homesteads, the Herron brother's barns, mills and a local school. Property was sold off over the years and the mill operations slowed down. After the mill stopped operating 70 years ago, there was only one person left to maintain the remaining 100 acres, and she was Mary Storie. The loggers homes, the barns and the mills fell over the years. Mary lived in the basement of the big yellow house on the hill up until 2005. The house was still in its original condition with no electricity, no running water and filled with antiques. It has quite a history, and can be searched online. Just search Herron Mills.

Great weekend

We just spent a weekend on the riverfront lot. What a beautiful spot. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great. But the site was beautiful and Nicole and her family are just so sweet. We will return to this spot again hopefully in better weather.

Riverfront campsite

I wanted to find a place that was solely for tents, quiet and peaceful. A place where I could hang out to be with and hear nature. Fortunately, that is what I found at Nicole's beautiful property. Her place is a little piece of heaven. The campsites are far apart so you are totally alone at your site. Each site has its own private and very well taken care of outhouse. If you are fortunate to get to one of the sites by the river, you will enjoy hearing the sound of water flowing over the rocks. The sites not on the river edge are extremely tranquil. During the day, you will see dragonflies and butterflies and at night you can hear the frogs and crickets sing and if you keep an eye out you might just see the fireflies flickering around. Oh and the stars on a clear night - just WOW. I have stayed at Nicole's three times now, have a fourth trip planned for September and hope to squeeze in one or two more trips before the snow falls. It is a wonderful place owned by wonderful people.

RiverView private campsite

The site was clean and tidy. The running water and small Rapids were very relaxing. Quiet neighbours and nice walking trails nearby. The owners were very friendly and helpful and the site was easy to find. The beautiful welcoming committee (shasha and ramsy doggos) like to visit and check in on you as well. Thank you for a great long weekend.

An Oasis on the farm!

Nicole and her family were ready to help us get setup the moment we arrived. The charm of their property will make you feel safe, while offering so much to explore. They have many chickens, and ducks that roam along with their beautiful dog! We even got to buy some duck eggs on our way out! Nicole has a farm stand setup where they offer baked goods, firewood, and knick knacks. Our campsite was very private and wow, what a panoramic riverfront. The sound of the water current will lull you to sleep! An amazing find! An amazing host family! Their kiddos are so kind and I was so pleased to chat with Nicole and her family! We can't wait to see you all again. Thank you <3
