100%
(20)
12km from Bass Lake Provincial Park · 1 site · Lodging · Severn, ON
Step into the serene embrace of the "40 Acre Woods," where tranquility and privacy await among winding trails and towering cedars. Our quaint cabin, complete with a wood stove and outdoor fire pit, offers a cozy retreat nestled in nature's embrace. Opt for the convenience of optional power and make use of our small private outhouse. Relax with a good book, explore the surrounding trails, or simply bask in the peace and quiet of your surroundings. The cabin features a main level with a comfortable couch, table, and fireplace, while the upper loft provides a cozy, rustic sleeping space. Outside, gather around the fire pit, sway in hammocks, and lounge in comfortable seating as you soak in the natural beauty. Escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and unwind in this idyllic setting, where time slows and nature's wonders take center stage. We would like to remind our guests the cabin space is rustic and centrally located in the woods. Please do not forget your bug spray. We caution all our campers to be mindful of ticks especially between the months of May-Sept when they are more likely to be sharing the wooded environment with you. We can't wait for you to come enjoy a little piece of our heaven.

Sparrow Lake Camp

24km from Bass Lake Provincial Park · 4 sites · Tents · Severn Bridge, ON
Sparrow Lake Camp is situated on the southernmost tip of the majestic Canadian Shield.  The site is known to have been a campground for bands of the Huron people prior to the European intrusion.  It is considered probable that Samuel de Champlain, the first European to explore Huronia, spent a night on this site in the 17th Century.In 1892, what would become the west side of the current property was sold by pioneer Captain Thomas Stanton to Toronto's renowned Massey family to act as their summer resort.  The resort sported the main lodge, dining room, and cottages and was only accessible by train and steamer. From the onset, the Masseys used the site as a summer retreat for the Young Men's Bible League of the Central Methodist Church. Today, the property is a thriving summer camp that also offers overnight tent stays with stunning lake views.

Cedar Creek Forest Camping

33km from Bass Lake Provincial Park · 11 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Tay, ON
Welcome to Cedar Creek Forest Camping! Voted second best campsite in Canada in 2021 and ranked number 2 in Ontario in 2022. I have 97 acres of very private camping. The forest is a bird watcher’s and nature lover’s paradise. I have developed miles of flat groomed trails and a 3-acre pond (plus several bush ponds). The sites are spread around the pond and are close but not right beside it. There is an abundant amount of wildlife to explore: birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects and mammals call this home. There is a small swimming hole on the island but otherwise the pond is full of aquatic life. The sites and trails are maintained all year long and the forest is quiet and beautiful. I have planted over 3000 trees with the help of the Severn Sound Environmental Association. The forest is registered as a managed woodlot with the province and habitat preservation/restoration is the priority goal. Please DO NOT bring firewood for your visit. I have large bags of cured firewood that was sustainable harvested from the forest available. Invasive insects and disease can be transferred from imported wood. Guests are welcome to quietly explore the forest trails but are asked to stay on the trail. Many birds and animals nest in the forest. My campsite is family-friendly (and pet-friendly), and 420 friendly too. Guests can easily drive up to and park at all campsites. My camp site is tolerant and respectful of all humans, animals and things. The Yurtle structures were built from Hemlock trees that were cut from this forest and processed into boards, then engineered into unique camping huts. Large windows capture the glory of the surrounding forest and sun sets, while wood stoves warm campers on those cold days/nights. Guests are asked to remove excessive garbage and recycling when possible. Thanks for viewing and visiting, cheers and peace, Dave
