Weekend Trip to Covered Bridge Park
My husband and I absolutely loved our time here. Especially right beside the river. Wish we would have brought our chest waders to walk right into the river. Beautiful sunsets. The quietest campsite we have ever visited. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much!

3 nights at Hidden Gem on Lorwell Lake
This was our 2nd time coming to Iris's property. We've agreed this will be an annual trip for us. Iris is so welcoming and kind. We love getting to chit chat with her during our stay. Her new dog Thunder was an absolute joy to be around. We were lucky to see Sterling again this year as well. You really don't need for much when you stay here. Trailer is very well equipped with the things you'll need to cook meals. Lorwell lake is stunning! Very clear clean water, great for swimming and kayaking. We absolutely love staying here!

Absolutely Stunning and Peaceful Escape! 🌲💦
We just returned from an incredible stay at this beautiful campsite and couldn’t be happier. The scenery was breathtaking — especially the waterfalls, which were not only gorgeous but so much fun to explore. There were plenty of well-marked trails that made hiking easy and enjoyable for all skill levels.
The host was fantastic — welcoming, helpful, and made sure everything was just right. It was the perfect place to unwind and recharge. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing nature getaway!

2 nights at Hidden Gem on Lorwell Lake
Great experience!
The camper was comfortable and well appointed.
Two kayaks and a canoe meant fun on the water.
Firewood was amply provided.
But the best part was how welcoming Iris and her crew (including Thunder, her doggo) made us feel so welcome.

2 nights at Hidden Gem on Lorwell Lake
Iris’s hidden gem at Lorwell Lake is nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and kindness. Iris is a wonderful host—thoughtful, friendly, and always happy to share a story. We loved our little chats with her.
Her RV was spotless—clean and cozy. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged to make our stay comfortable and relaxing. The peacefulness of the area was exactly what we needed. The quiet surroundings, tucked away by the lake, made it feel like our own private slice of paradise.
We absolutely loved kayaking on the calm lake and swimming in the clear water. And we can’t forget about Thunder—her gentle giant of a dog. He stole our hearts! Such a sweet companion who made the experience even more memorable.
If you're looking for a peaceful retreat with an amazing host, this is the place.

We had just about the most relaxing stay ever. Lake swimming, kayaking,.campfiring, lazing and digital detoxing. Everything you need is there, Iris is nearby if you need her but you also have total privacy on self contained site and little private jetty.

2 nights at Hidden Gem on Lorwell Lake
I can’t wait to visit again. Hidden Gem is a beautiful. Comes with most of the comforts of home but so much more. The flowers, the trees, the dock, the water, the floating dock, the views and those sunsets unbelievably amazing.
All this and enjoying the peace and quiet from the city, Hidden Gem provides all this , oh, just about forgot ending the day with a beautiful campfire and this site.is completely private.
Most importantly there is Iris. What can I say. She is an angel. So welcoming and accommodating but more than that she is just a real, kind, thoughtful, helpful woman. She has a way of making you feel like family.
I will definitely be going back!!!

Thank you so much Iris for sharing your hidden gem with us. We absolutely loved our stay. We spent most of our days down at the dock Fishing, Kayaking, and enjoying the beautiful sunsets. The R.V. was everything we needed to relax and unwind at the end of each day. Iris, you were a wonderful host, checking in on us from time to time to make sure we didn't need anything, sharing your knowledge of the area, and even just to enjoy some friendly conversation. We enjoyed our time with the dogs, and wish we could have taken little Dodger home with us. We do hope you have some good fortune and are able to find that missing pup.

Everything was great! Big site right next to the beach with electricity, water and flush toilets very close (always clean). Hosts were very friendly and accommodating and so were the other people at the campground. Wood was delivered to our site and it was a good price for a lot of wood. Amazing fireworks display for Canada Day! Water was beautiful! Absolutely nothing to complain about.
Very happy to have found this place and looking forward to going back😊

A nice old schoolhouse lot with pool hot tub gazebo and firepit spots. It is close to provincial parks and the caves. Eva’s kitchen offers a wide variety hungarian meals. They are always fresh and very tasty. Eva and Sandor are excellent hosts. In this old schoolhouse inn you feel yourself just like you are in Grandma’s home and treated as good friends or family members

Nice big open space with a fire pit set up, lots of firewood around that Chris allowes us to use, and a folding table for preparing food. Beautiful view of the stars but also nice and private, short drive to a lake beach. 10/10!

We went tent camping at Ray and Melissa’s and it was fantastic!! We got to pet chickens, alpacas, and we learned so much on our alpaca walk. In the evening, we settled in with our campfire and watched hundreds of fireflies dancing on a field of wildflowers. Such a perfect camping spot, I can’t recommend enough!

Wasn’t a marker to find the property but a quick call and we were able to find the site no problem. There’s 2 sites on this property, wish I was able to get my camper up the the back site but having the front site was nice and easy to pull in and out since it was a pull through but close to road and back site is more for tents. Lots of dragon flies, wild flowers, berries and trails. We brought water shoes with us due to other reviews and glad we did. Had a lot of fun walking up the creek in the water to check out and cool down in all the falls. We walked all the way up to the pond where there’s a third fire pit area. There’s locals that like to walk through the property to hike the falls but once they realized we were setting up camp they politely and respectfully left. This is a place that I’d like to come back to since we like the area and is nice to have the property to ourselves. Bonus is the public beach 7min drive from site which we enjoyed having to ourselves twice over the weekend.
