Belle River, Ontario
Choose between a three-season bunkie or campsites for tents and small campers.
Enjoy a taste of quiet country life without being far from town. Located near Belle River in Essex County, our family-owned property offers a comfortable furnished bunkie, spacious camping among mature trees, open lawns, a small pond and plenty of room to slow down. It is a relaxed place to stay while visiting family or friends nearby, attending an event in the area, enjoying a fishing trip, or exploring the communities and attractions of Windsor-Essex.
Furnished Bunkie
A spacious, open-plan cabin with sleeping, living, dining and kitchen areas together under a warm wood ceiling—more comfort than traditional camping, with the feel of a casual country retreat.
Kitchenette & BBQ
Hot and cold municipal water, a microwave, toaster oven, dishes, cookware and a dining table, plus a gas BBQ for outdoor cooking.
Outdoor Shower & Washroom
An enclosed outdoor shower just outside the cabin, plus a clean, self-contained shared washroom with toilet, urinal, sink, mirror, lighting, ventilation and running water.
Tent & RV Camping
A large treed area behind the pond with room for tents and appropriately sized RVs. Fresh municipal water is available on site—no electrical or sewer hookups, so RV guests should arrive prepared for dry camping.
Grounds & Gazebo
Open lawns, mature trees, a shaded gazebo and a peaceful pond dotted with lotus flowers and home to fish—a lovely spot for gazing and watching the world slow down.
Essex County, Close By
Minutes from Belle River’s waterfront, Lake St. Clair, Essex County wine country, Point Pelee National Park, and Windsor for a day trip further afield.
We’ve lived on this property for years, and some of our best memories happen right here—coffee by the pond, evenings around the fire, watching the kids run wild in the grass. Opening it up to guests just felt like sharing something we already love.
”There’s nothing fancy about it—just a quiet corner of Essex County where people can slow down, breathe a little deeper, and remember what it feels like to have nowhere to be.
—Greg & Sue
Greg and Sue are both retired, and happy to help with whatever you need—though just as happy to stay out of your way and let you enjoy the quiet. Greg can usually be found puttering around the property or in his shop, welding steel into ornaments and décor. Sue is a lovely cook and baker who believes in the little creature comforts, and wants your stay to be the best one imaginable.
The pond is for gazing and watching the fish and lotus flowers—it’s not set up for swimming, fishing or paddling.
No. Fresh municipal water is available in the camping area, but there’s no electrical or sewer service, so RV guests should arrive prepared for dry camping.
It’s a clean, self-contained outdoor washroom shared by all guests on the property, with a toilet, urinal, handwashing sink, mirror, lighting, ventilation and running water.
Possibly. This is a family-owned, shared property rather than a commercial campground or secluded retreat, so bunkie guests and campers may be staying here at the same time and will share the washroom and some outdoor amenities. We keep bookings limited to protect the relaxed feel of the space.

Just minutes away. Belle River’s waterfront, beach, marina and splash pad are close by, and you’re within easy reach of Lake St. Clair, Essex County wine country, Point Pelee National Park, and Windsor for a day trip further afield.
Booking is coming soon through HipCamp. In the meantime, send an email to Greg and we’ll take it from there.
A quiet stretch of Essex County, ready whenever you are—room to slow down by the pond, spend an evening around the fire, and wake up to birdsong instead of traffic. Whether you settle into the bunkie or pitch a tent among the trees, come see for yourself.
