Wakita encompasses 25 acres of diverse wilderness and clearings. The land was developed in the 70's as an education, arts and health retreat and that history influences its atmosphere today. A small mountain creek meanders past gardens, berry patches, rustic cabins and a stage. The land is peppered with Ancient burned out cedar trunks that stand as a testament to the wildfire that razed the valley and the town of Fernie in the early 1900's. If guests are interested in a tour we will show you our favorites! Since Wakita borders on the wilderness of BC, we ask that our guests exercise common sense when it comes to food and fires. Upon arrival, we will provide information on the use of woodstoves, firepits, composting outhouses (for a-frame and campsites), etc. Wakita is a 15 min drive from all of the amenities and adventure available in beautiful Fernie, BC. Explore further up our road and you will find the trailheads for popular hikes to Mount Hosmer, the Three Sisters and Heiko's trail. Our Hipcamp accommodations consist of our glamping a-frame, an unserviced RV/tenting site and a fully serviced cabin. We look forward to being a part of your Fernie adventure!

This was one of the original homesteads in the Margarees. There was an old sawmill on site which was used to build the house and barn. It was sold to a man who started renovations for a summer house but ended up listing it for sale. I purchased it and completely renovated the 100-year-old house. Shortly after, my brother and I started an outfitting company with no plan of building a campground, but in 2017 we saw a great opportunity for building something unique. We wanted to keep a backwoods camping feel, but yet create it around a hostel-inspired environment. We launched June 1, 2018 and are in full swing now. We look forward to meeting you and will help you out in any way to make your trip here something to remember. Adventure awaits at this eco-camping hostel offering a natural setting, overlooking a picturesque valley. This location offers close to off-grid camping with a twist of comfort; furnished Glamping tents, sleeping up to 4 people per tent on a queen bed with twin camping beds for extra guests. Cooking gear, bedding, and towels are provided. Each tent, located at this eco-hostel, has its own campfire pit, with a solar outdoor shower on site and beautiful views of the river valley.

Escape the ordinary in your very own off-grid retreat surrounded by 11 acres of private woodland and rolling granite landscapes! Experience the true "JOMO" lifestyle (Joy of Missing Out) while you disconnect from your current routine + reconnect with nature. You'll be minutes away from surrounding lakes and trails, while perched on a granite rock at the edge of a forest in Ontario's wilderness - north of Muskoka. Off grid amenities include outdoor shower (summer months only) + wood fired sauna! Lake access is just a short drive away at the end of the road. Other Things to Note: Being an authentic off-grid cabin, there are some unconventional methods of doing things such as using a wood stove for heat, foot pump sink, ice cooler, heated rain harvest shower (summer months only) and a composting toilet. You will be doing all this in Ontario’s back country so it is best to be mindful and you may come across wild animals, and crawling critters so be prepared for some adventure! Off-grid living requires a little more work and care than a traditional cottage, however you can feel good knowing that you've invested in a low-carbon, eco-friendly getaway and hopefully you will gain some knowledge and improve your physical well-being from this experience – and if anything at all leave feeling fully relaxed and rejuvenated!

1 site · Lodging · Mc Kellar, ON
Escape the ordinary in your very own off-grid retreat surrounded by 11 acres of private woodland and rolling granite landscapes! Experience the true "JOMO" lifestyle (Joy of Missing Out) while you disconnect from your current routine + reconnect with nature. You'll be minutes away from surrounding lakes and trails, while perched on a granite rock at the edge of a forest in Ontario's wilderness - north of Muskoka. Off grid amenities include outdoor shower (summer months only) + wood fired sauna! Lake access is just a short drive away at the end of the road. Other Things to Note: Being an authentic off-grid cabin, there are some unconventional methods of doing things such as using a wood stove for heat, foot pump sink, ice cooler, heated rain harvest shower (summer months only) and a composting toilet. You will be doing all this in Ontario’s back country so it is best to be mindful and you may come across wild animals, and crawling critters so be prepared for some adventure! Off-grid living requires a little more work and care than a traditional cottage, however you can feel good knowing that you've invested in a low-carbon, eco-friendly getaway and hopefully you will gain some knowledge and improve your physical well-being from this experience – and if anything at all leave feeling fully relaxed and rejuvenated!
