This property is one of the last remaining natural areas around Sylvan lake. Our family has spent over 120 years as stewards of the land and are excited to share what we have protected. Enjoy Private Tent Camping in a Pristine Aspen Forest with a fire pit and picnic table. All within 500 feet of Sylvan Lake. This is the perfect place to disconnect yourself from the city! Your fee includes free access to 120 acres of forest, excellent wildlife viewing and unlimited deadfall to use as firewood, if you don't mind some manual labour. My kids cut and split firewood if you would like some waiting at your site when you arrive. We have seasoned and split bundles for $10 and you can pre-purchase them when you complete your checkout. It's like a lemonade stand for them...just more work. ;) A professionally maintained porta-potty is on-site for your comfort. We are pet-friendly! If you enjoy the water, this is an ideal location for Kayaking, Paddleboarding or just lounging on an air mattress. With its picturesque scenery and shallow shoreline, Sylvan Lake is a great place to spend some time. Sylvan Lake's laid back nature and small-town charm are warm and inviting and have all the amenities that you could ask for. We look forward to hosting you!

The campsite is a spacious, well-maintained haven close to Sylvan Lake, perfect for both families and solo campers. Guests appreciate the privacy and cleanliness of the sites, along with the welcoming presence of the host, Gordon. Trails and the nearby beach offer plenty of exploration opportunities, making it ideal for those seeking a nature retreat. However, be prepared for some road noise and the occasional full outhouse, which are minor drawbacks in an otherwise serene setting.

Site 1 - Lone Pine.

I loved this place which is really spacious, I can set up my 9 person tent with 4 person tent of my friend and still got lot of area to move. Loved that provided a table and chair so that you can cook and put everythings on the table. Site 1 is a highly privacy site compared with site 2 and 3 but you have to compromise with 2 mins walk to get that privacy. Also, the wash room is quite clear, no bad smell, there is sanitizer.

The campsite was spacious and well-maintained 5 minutes from Sylvan lake. Simply a hidden gem in the city. The potty was clean. 10/10 if you are coming with your pets: Highly recommended. Will come back again..

I loved that Gordon has made his own trails on the property. Overall had a really nice stay, campground is well taken care of in the cute town of Half Moon Bay. Super close walk to the water for an amazing sunset! Thanks Gordon!
