Haliburton Forest is a 3 hour drive from Toronto in beautiful Haliburton.  Opened in 1996 it is privately owned with hundreds of acres of land and over 50 lakes.  It is an outdoors enthusiasts paradise.  There are 17 semi-wilderness campsites that can be reserved on a first come-first serve basis and can be reserved many, many months in advance  unlike it's Ontario Parks counterpart. 
The term "semi-wilderness" refers to the fact that these sites do not have any electrical hook ups or other services. There is no water tap to walk to, your water is either brought in or boiled from the lake you are staying on. All the sites are situated directly on a lakeshore, meaning you have your very own private beach and swimming area.  They are well spaced, extremely private, without back lots and totally out of site from any neighbor. Sites are equipped with a picnic table and outhouse.  Some of the activities that are available include: The Wolf Centre, 300 km of trails for hiking, biking, snowmobiling, dog sledding, fishing, forest canopy tours etc.  This is a true Ontario camping experience.  Thumbs UP!
We went in October and it was truly a beautiful spot.
