About this property
Stargrass Tent | Campground with Quarry Lake
Stargrass is set on a stunning 230-acre property, just 1.5 hours from Toronto, with access to a crystal-clear, spring-fed lake formed from a former limestone quarry. This unique landscape is home to five lakeside cabins and six campsites.
Set apart on the quarry near the lake, this tent offers a wide, private lot with fewer trees but unbeatable water proximity — a contrast to our more forested sites. All tents share communal lake access with paddle board & canoe rentals, so all guests can take advantage of this truly epic location.
Please note: This property features rugged terrain and steep cliff faces. Families with young children should take extra care. See the ‘Be Aware’ section for details.
BE AWARE This site features deep water, steep stairs, cliff edges, and rocky paths. Families with young children should exercise caution and provide close supervision.
Fishing is not permitted on our lake.
ACCESS This tent is drive-in for all vehicle types.
