For the last 25 years we have lived here on our 6 acres of property where our Maple Sugar Bush allows us to produce our very own maple syrup every spring. [Side note: The sugar shack itself has been on the property for over 40 years.] We also raise a small but varied collection of farm animals, grow vegetables, and operate a 3 generation (Mother, Daughter, and Granddaughter) Artisan Craft Business, that sells handmade "Canadiana Themed" Home Decor goods and Maple Products at our local Farmer's Market. ( Visit us on Instagram or Facebook @Blackmaplefarm) Our Farm is located on the very edge of the Canadian Shield, so most of the landscape is a rocky, rugged, and naturally wooded. Throughout the property are numerous short, looping, walking trails that meander throughout the Sugar bush, pasture area, 3 season pond, and our farm animal "homes". These trails are perfect for short nature walks, where you'll experience natural wildflowers and plants, see and hear song birds, small animal wildlife and of course, farm life too. We are also located on the edge of the Eastern Ontario "Dark Sky" Area, which means we have a very nice view from the edge of our pasture of the North Sky stars on a clear night, with very minimal light pollution. Our varied collection of farm animals includes; lots of chickens, (including roosters who DO crow in the early morning hours), miniature goats, horses, a couple of barn cats, and a dog. During your stay with us you are welcome to come learn about and interact with our animals and daily farm life, if you so desire, and farm fresh eggs and maple syrup are also available to purchase too.

The Stargazer Bunkie

Thoroughly Enjoyed the Bunkie :)

I loved staying in the Bunkie! It was very cold (-1 overnight) and I was provided with lots of blankets that kept me warm throughout the night, and a small propane heater. There were lots of thoughtful items (books, playing cards, lots of lighting options, cookware and more). She met me when I arrived and she made sure I knew the ins and outs of staying there. I enjoyed meeting all the animals in the morning.

The Stargazer Bunkie

Bunkie glamp on farm!

We loved our stay at the stargazer bunkie! It was so peaceful and the kitchen utenstils, kettle, pan, propane tanks and heater was all super helpful. The stars were really beautiful and the star finder tool was so cool, I could actually find constellations. Thanks again for letting us pet the goats they were so cute! Margret and Lisa are wonderful hosts definitely recommend

The Stargazer Bunkie

Had a magical stay at Lisa's bunkie. The stars were amazing and the little cabin was fully equipped. Really comfy bed! The property was fun to roam and we loved hanging out with Tango the horse and petting the goats. Great experience! Thank you, Lisa :)

Maple Grove Campsite

I loved our stay at Lisa’s. The site was private and the amenities were unbelievably clean, and convenient. We loved the farm animals! They were super fun. We purchased extra firewood along with their bread and eggs and they were farm fresh and delicious. She made the stay memorable. We will definitely return.

Black Maple Farm: Pine Grove Site

Rustic Charm and Starry Skies

I recently had the most incredible camping experience at this site! The location was perfect, with super clean bathrooms and a heated shower that made our stay so comfortable. We were surrounded by the cutest goats, a beautiful horse, and plenty of chickens, including a rooster that gave us a charming early morning wake-up call. It added to the whole rustic, farm-life atmosphere, and honestly, I wouldn’t have had it any other way. The star gazing at night was absolutely breathtaking — you can see the sky like never before! To top it all off, the hosts were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway in nature with great amenities and adorable animals, this is the place to go!
