A quiet place to get away with various wildlife to be seen including great swimming with more than 300 acres to explore, cleared trails for hiking, Thanks to a small blow down that went through a few years back.Dark clear nights for star gazing and so much more. There are seven separate sites, each with their own picnic table, fire pit, and outhouse. This is back woods camping .There is a shared beach with plenty of room for everyone. The lake is weedy in spots but just makes it better for fishing .Great place for all ages and of course all pet's welcome. Tear Drop Trailers allowed, depending on what site. Please message first.

We have tried to think of everything you might need so you don't have to! Your site is far from any other homes or roads, surrounded by forest, Canadian Shield, and beaver ponds.

Come camp with the alpacas ! These smart and curious creatures would love to meet you. They are hand fed and love treats. No spit... these are the friendliest group of alpacas you could ever hope to meet. Enjoy watching them graze from your campsite or book a walking tour and go explore the forest together. Our unique location offers a very private and secluded experience. No road noise, no people noise, just the sounds of the forest and the odd crow of a rooster to break the silence.
