Weekend Trip to Forested Meadow at Beach Resort

I had a lovely time camping at Noah and Cheryl’s tent site! I came with little plans other than visiting the Oak Hammock Marsh, and Noah gave me many suggestions for local things to do. I enjoyed some time on the community beach and enjoy some food at the local restaurants. I felt like a local! I enjoyed my camp site under the stars with plenty of room to spare. I felt like I had a good distance and privacy from the other campers. Overall, Noah and Cheryl were very kind, I really enjoyed being at the site, and I will have to come back again with some friends. Thanks for having me!

2 nights at Glamping With The Stars

This is one of the most memorable camping experiences you could ever have just 1 hour drive from Winnipeg. Highly recommend for somone looking for quiet, private, safe and comfortable camping!!! The unique design of the dome will give you the feeling of sleeping under the stars with its transparent ceiling!! Canoeing in Whiteshell river is a bonus. You will see turtles, eagles, many different varieties of fish and if you are lucky enough even a bear! Above all you will meet the most friendliest and most accommodating hosts, Amber and Johnny. We rate this 10 out of 10 for; comfort, cleanliness, price, amenities, location, gueat services and accuracy of information. We will come again and again!!!

Extremely nice people and very accommodating. We have a rooftop tent setup and they found the perfect spot for us. Great place to stay if you are checking out the Winnipeg beach / matlock area.

Noah greeted us with warmth as soon as we arrived, letting us know we could reach out anytime if we needed anything. It was just a short one-night stay, but we truly enjoyed it — quiet, simple, and just what we needed to unwind.

Cheryl and Noah’s land was an absolutely beautiful place to stay! They were very kind and gave us amazing instructions to find their place and how to get around as well. It was super close to the beach and was super peaceful.
