About
This scenic 13-acre property on the south shore of Rice Lake offers a peaceful retreat for RV guests seeking a private getaway near charming historic villages. The boondocking spaces are nestled among mature trees between the property's pond and the road, providing a serene natural setting where guests can enjoy watching wildlife—from jumping fish and croaking frogs to visiting waterfowl. The shaded, spacious grounds create an intimate retreat while remaining conveniently accessible, just 15 minutes north of Highway 401.
The location excels as a base for exploring the region's rich attractions, including the picturesque towns of Cobourg and Port Hope, boating and fishing opportunities on Rice Lake and the Trent Severn Waterway, and nearby cultural sites such as the Canadian Canoe Museum and Lang Pioneer Village. Guests also enjoy easy access to conservation areas, forest trails, and seasonal events including summer festivals and fall studio tours. The property offers electrical service at the boondocking area for light loads, and parking accommodates various weather conditions with flexible placement options.
Visitors consistently praise the welcoming atmosphere and the hosts' genuine hospitality, noting their willingness to share local knowledge and stories. The peaceful ambiance—enhanced by minimal road noise despite proximity to the road—makes this an ideal overnight stop or extended stay. Guests appreciate the opportunity to unwind by the pond, enjoy the natural surroundings, and experience the kind of authentic, unhurried hospitality that defines the boondocking community.
