Weekend Trip to Tiny Village Ottawa River - Camping

We loved our stay at Tiny Village. The place is beautiful and very peaceful. It has a lot of great things to do, and easy access to the city nearby. The cleaning could be better, but other than that, great place to relax.

Weekend Trip to Tiny Village Ottawa River - Camping

My fiancé and I loved Tiny Village. The experience from before arrival to our checkout was seamless. The previous reviews absolutely do this place justice. The staff is very kind and welcoming. We also loved how friendly the fellow campers were! I would highly recommend this place to a future camper.

Weekend Trip to Nature's Harmony Wilderness Retreat

Very nice land, with many things to do. It really shows that they have worked hard on the place. Signalisation on site was great, we apreciated having the bay so close and being able to go hike. Couple of things to know….the bugs in august while we stayed were CRAZY. Our dog wanted to atay in the van most of the time because of that, so bring ton of bug spray. Also, the campsite #1 is really close from the Glamping (accomodation). A couple was staying with 4 young kids and it was pretty loud. Our 20’ van fit in the spot, but larger than that would be hard. I’d recommend campsite #3 for more privacy. The owner’s dog, who is very kind, is offleash and will probably come say hi. Good thing to know if you have a dog yourself. The place is well kept, hosts are amazing and overall it was great. Good attention to details from the host!

It is a wonderful place, we had so much on our whole stay in the campsite. Staff are very welcoming and respectful. Amenities are very good especially the beach area is very beautiful. I really recommend this place to camp. 6 hrs drive from our place is so worth it! Planning to come back very very soon!

First time at Tiny Village and really enjoyed it. The site was very spacious, level and a good mix of sun and shade. Great communication as I thought I'd be getting there late, so clear instructions were given. Facilities were clean and no waiting for a hot shower! The river and beach are wonderful for kayaking and swimming. It felt very family friendly, safe and peaceful. I'd definitely camp there again

Weekend Trip to The Bunk House Camp

The host was awesome — gave us a tour of the property and shared some of its history, which was a nice touch. The place is cozy, private, and well set up. There's a BBQ and a large custom smoker, perfect for outdoor cooking. Although it's off-grid, the host has solar batteries and a generator, so power was never an issue. We really loved our stay and would definitely come back!

Weekend Trip to Tiny Village Ottawa River - Camping

It was my family's first time camping and I must say, what a beautiful experience! We stayed at site 93 (lots of space and privacy), in our tent. The beach is beautiful, the park is nice, the bathrooms are clean, and the people are friendly. Although we didn't participate, we were informed of available activities. We will definitely visit again in the future.

Weekend Trip to Erskine Park Campsite

Very private location if that is something you are looking for, Josh was kind and pointed us towards some local trails and activities we can do during our stay. Hopefully some additional amenities are added in the future but otherwise a great spot to camp.

Weekend Trip to Nature's Harmony Wilderness Retreat

Jennifer is lovely! So helpful & great service. The property is beautiful and off the beaten track. If you want to get away from people and unplug, this is the place for you! When the description says no cell service, it’s not kidding. I did a solo trip, and to contact my husband I had to drive about 8 minutes up the road on hwy 533 just to get 1 or 2 bars of service. Some things to be aware of - the Little Dipper dome is right next to the Big Dipper dome. There’s a swath of trees between the two sites, but they don’t really provide much of a sound barrier (good privacy, though). Unfortunately, my neighbouring campers were quite loud, which wasn’t ideal. It’s worth noting, that in summer (I stayed in July), the dome gets uncomfortably hot inside during the day, even with the screen door open, air vent on, and curtain closed and stays that way through the entire day, until the cooler morning/evening hours (enjoyable inside when cooler). The hosts provide all the essentials, which is awesome! The composting toilet did not smell at all, and was clean/no flies. I loved the nature sounds very much. The only thing I didn’t like, was the amount of bugs. Bugs don’t usually bother me, but even with bug spray they were incessant, which ruined my plans to soak up nature while there - since the nature experience was my whole reason to go, I was a little disappointed by that. But I definitely will stay again, maybe in a different season (when there’s less bugs).

We loved our stay at Nature's Harmony. It was a cold Victoria Day weekend but we kept cozy with the wood stove in our glamping tent. We hiked and canoued and enjoyed Riley's (dog) company. Thank you for hosting and sharing with us your beautiful land.

1 night at Stone Oaks Farm

If I could give Stone Oaks Farm 30 out of 10, I would! I had a wonderful stay at Stephany's farm (during the winter, too! When most Hipcamp spots are closed!) Stephany was so friendly, responsive, and welcoming - she really set the standard for Hipcamp experiences (this was my first one and Stephany went above and beyond any expectations!) Absolutely love that it's a dog-friendly space (my dogs got to meet their horses and duck! Omgosh, my heart!) I'll never forget this experience and Stephany's generosity and kindness. There needs to be more people like this in the world. Would absolutely stay here again and have already recommended this place to other campers, roadtrippers, and animal lovers! Thank you, Stephany! (And Amy for the lovely tour of the farm!)

Sonshine Homestead

72km from Bissett Creek Provincial Park · 4 sites · Tents, RVs

Welcome to Sonshine Homestead — a peaceful, back-to-basics camping experience nestled in the quiet forest and brushland of Northern Ontario. Our property offers a growing collection of off-grid tent sites, each tucked among trees, giving you room to breathe and unplug. These are no-frills campsites — no power, no running water, and no built-in amenities (Outhouses near sites). You bring your own gear, and we provide the space, the stillness, and the sky. You’ll wake to birds chirping, the wind through the brush, and maybe a crowing rooster. We have walking trails, two ponds, and lots of open space to explore. Some sites are drive-in, others require a short walk. We’re surrounded by crown land just a short drive away, with trails perfect for hiking or ATVing. Within an hour you’ll find countless lakes for swimming, fishing, paddling, or just floating the day away. The land around us is full of life with cattle, horses, and sheep to mention a few. Sonshine Homestead sits in the heart of a small farming and Amish community, and the local culture reflects that. On Saturdays, don’t miss the Powassan Farmers’ Market (9am–1pm) for produce, meats, baked goods, preserves, and handmade treasures. And if you take the scenic route, you’ll pass farmstands in every direction — most on the honour system, stocked with whatever the land’s giving that week. You won’t find bells and whistles here — but if you’re after quiet land, fresh air, and a patch of ground to pitch your tent, we’d love to host you. We’re growing slowly and simply — like good things should. Kids under 13 stay free, because around here, growing is kind of the point. If you’re a larger family and need a bit more space, just reach out — we’ll do our best to make it work.
