Nearby, there are hiking and ATV trails, a boat launch, and other outdoorsy attractions such as fishing and berry picking. The cabin’s lone bedroom is lofted and has a walk-out balcony overlooking the rushing waters of the 1,923-kilometre-long river. 2. 4820 33 Highway, Beaverdell, B.C. List price: $899,000 Features: Campsite homes don’t have to be rustic (though there’s obviously charm to those that are). Here’s one that was built in 2020 with modern finishes including laminate floor and a modern glass staircase. It has five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and a powder room. Elsewhere on the property, there are six furnished cabins, his and her outhouses, fire pit, one-kilometre on-site hiking train, fire pit, and gardens. The contemporary finishes of the main home coupled with the extra space make this seven-plus-acre property a great candidate for glamping. It’s not often you find yourself in the wilderness with marble countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and laminate flooring. 3. 5 Hwy 805, River Valley, Ontario List price: $159,000 Features: If you’re looking to live totally off-the-grid, check out this solar-powered campsite on the Sturgeon River. The main on-site structure contains a wood-burning stove, two-bedrooms and a four-piece bathroom (so no trips to the outhouse in the middle of the night). Solar panels and an 1,800-watt generator power the campsite, meaning won’t rely on utilities. And, with a designated hunting-zone nearby, you can cut out trips to the shopping market.

Part 3 Island Tp3464, French River, Ontario List price: $469,000 Features: Every trip to this cottage on the banks of the Pickerel River, south of Sudbury, is a serious outdoor excursion. You can only reach the secluded riverside property by boat. Once you arrive, there’s no need to set up a base camp: a quaint, 668-square-foot cottage has the bare essentials, featuring two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a simple kitchen. Whoever buys this Pickeral parcel probably won’t be spending much time indoors, though. 5. Lot 2-3-4-5 Rye Rd., Commanda, Ontario List price: $550,000 Features: You don’t have to search too far from the big city to have your own wooded campsite. Just three hours north of the Greater Toronto Area, in the Township of Nipissing, 366 acres of land covered with mature hardwood trees and its own creek is up for grabs. “This fabulous property is a rare opportunity to have a large, picturesque, and private natural setting for your future home, hunting or camping grounds,” reads the listing.
