Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Join us on our property, where we are building our dream home (and earthship) made of tires!!! We have just under 4 acres of land, Where we offer tent camping in our forested property, in the village of L'amable. We are just south of the town of Bancroft (The Mineral capital of Canada). Surrounded by deer, moose, bear, fox, raccoon, rabbit, to name a few, you are sure to see wildlife. When booking with us you will have the ability to choose 1 of 6 campsites, where you will camp in mature forest, immersed in the beautiful vibrations and energy of the minerals that cover the land. If you have children, they are welcome to play with all of our boys, on their trampoline and play equipment, and enjoy the animals that live on our property as well. There are countless amazing local stores, and many natural attractions to visit nearby to rock hound, hike, swim, boat, and fish. There is also, an extensive trail systems to enjoy on your bikes, quads, and sleds close by. We are very child and pet friendly as well! Being newer to hipcamp, our campsites are always evolving and improving. So if you have visited in the past and enjoyed your stay, you can be certain it will be even better this time around :) **DIFFERENT OPTIONS** You have the ability to book a stay with us for either tent camping alone, or camping with a tour of our dream home (currently under construction) Either way we are sure you will enjoy our campsites and the beauty that our property and the surrounding area has to offer. ***Read our fantastic reviews from various hipcampers, as we continually strive to improve and develop our campsites for your continued enjoyment! HAPPY CAMPING!

So loud
Booked for 2 nights, but left after one for Algonquin. At least it's only 20 bucks to lose. Campsite itself is pretty good, for the price. It didn't matter as we were the only ones there, but it seems like the path runs directly through the campsites. It's first come first serve for campsite location, so if booking isn't full you can at least spread out. The reason we left was that it was SO loud. I guess it's because they're doing construction, but they started blasting music at ~7am on Sunday morning. You can hear everything from the house, so kids screaming until pitch darkness, music, etc very loudly. It was labour day weekend which means fireworks, so idk if this is the case all the time, but there seems to be a hundred dogs in the neighbourhood barking all night. One stars barking and it sets them all off, and you can't even distinguish individual dogs anymore, it's just a roaring noise. You can also really hear the road. I am sure this is on par for trailer park campsites, but I they make you do an 'about you' writeup before booking and the literal only thing I wrote is that we want a quiet getaway. Parking is a nightmare, even as the only car there - they ask you not to go past a certain point, so you have very little room. You're stuck doing a 7 point turn to turn around, except it's like a minefield of loose garbage, kids toys, kids bikes, a watermelon? etc and the tiniest unleashed dog. It's like they want you to crunch something (we didn't).

It's quiet when there's no other campers. It's cheap. The path could be maintained better. The steep drop combined with the thorny raspberry plants combine to form a moat that is not the most welcoming. My site came with a hammock but it was unusuable as it was quite moldy. I felt safe leaving my camping equipment on this site as I was spending the days away.

Great site!
Great site! The warnings and rules were very straightforward and reasonable. Lovely property with a very friendly family and lovely dog and chickens walking around. The signage could use a bit of an update since the paper has been destroyed over time but the paths are clearly walked on so it was clear to follow. My only concern would be if the plants and bushes on the embankment could be trimmed back a bit so we don't have to bush whack the first bit into the trail that would be great. I was a tad worried about ticks the first few feet into the trail to the sites because the plants had grown so much. Otherwise the site was private and had a nice fire pit and bench available. Loved my stay! Very close to many provincial parks so we had a lot to do in the area.

$30 EARTHSHIP EXPERIENCE WHILE YOU CAMP
I was disappointed to realize only upon arrival the camp sites are not accessible by vehicle, especially as I was camping out of my vehicle and would have had to park out in the open sun close to the road since the campsite is not accessible by car. The pathway to the campsites that us required to walk down is long enough I wouldn't have been able to carry all my gear solo. The host did not reply to my message about not being able to camp there because of this and also ignored my attempt at a refund and even if no refund was given I asked to still get a tour of the earthship, to which there was no reply. Very disappointed about the lack of clear description about the campsite not being accessible by vehicle at all and no response after the booking was made.
