We are an on-farm processing dairy where we take the milk from our own farm and bottle this in glass returnable bottles. We also sell other local products. We let campers stay in our parking lot where they can enjoy a beautiful sunset and many hiking trail just minutes away from us.
Please note that when you book our place we may not see your booking right away or any messages from you to us, since the Hipcamp app is not working properly at the moment. If we haven't responded in a timely manner please email us from our website. slateriverdairy@tbaytel.net
Campers can walk down to the river and maybe see a beaver hard at work. Campers will not be allowed to walk to the farm as insurance won't allow us to host campers when we do. Please do not drive around the building or pitch a tent on our septic field. There is a black mailbox by the front doors where we will put a welcome package for you. This has a map and websites of in the area hikes and other businesses. There is a lake about 12 min drive from us with a nice beach. We will provide a pick nick table, unless other campers are using it. A short walk from us is a small Catholic country church, and you can walk to the Slate River Bridge on Hwy 608 and on Hwy 61.

Bring your family or organization to stay on my pristine land situated on 135 acres located 45kms south from Thunder Bay airport and 10 minutes north of the Minnesota border. I welcome you to rent one of my thirteen rustic cabins or pitch your tent in a private area to reconnect with nature and rediscover yourself. You can also purchase add-on experiences to learn more about Anishinaaabe practices and the rich culture of the region.
For nature lovers and boating enthusiasts, the Little Trout Bay Conservation Area and Lake Superior boat launch are all less than 2 kms away. Enjoy the James Duncan Nature Trail located in the same area, perfect for a day hike. A firepit with firewood for purchase is also available for your family to enjoy. I look forward to meeting you soon.
Niibing means 'it is summer' in Anishinaabe. My paternal ancestry is Anishinaabe from north of Lake Superior and Cree/French from northern Manitoba and my maternal ancestry is from England through my great-grandmother. I purchased this land in 2017 to fulfil a lifelong dream to live in the bush next to water and to offer tribal tourism opportunities to global visitors. My ancestors have been greeting visitors on Gichigami (Lake Superior) for thousands of years. I feel that when I am greeting visitors. It is important to me and to my role of Lodgekeeper to be welcoming and accommodating. As a Lodgekeeper, I was presented with the Spiritual guidance to conduct this work for all people, Indigenous and non-Indigenous. I am very passionate about this work and share the concepts of 'All My Relations' and our interconnectedness with the animals, trees, plants, mountains, water and all the other beings of Mother Earth. It is my life’s work.
“I offer these teachings and experiences from my role as Lodgekeeper, gifted to me through ceremony. I do this work from the heart, with the understanding that healing is sacred — and sustainability is sacred. Every contribution supports the land, the Spirits, and the continuation of these opportunities for future generations.”

My friend and I went up for a short trip and found Wilma's farm here. It was a great experience! The lady who checked us in was not Wilma but she knew what she was doing! She was very kind to us and was very clear about the rules. She even gave us a list of things to do around the area. We checked in during the day but came back to camp at night. We felt very safe there and because it was cold we camped in my car. I would recommend this place! The workers are very sweet and we felt comfortable being there as two women in an unfamiliar place.

Weekend Trip to Niibing Tribal Tours
We soaked in the peace and beauty of the meadows and woods. We are grateful to Cindy for sharing her land and herself with her animals heartily. May much healing take place surrounding the Standing Strong woman and the Anishinaabe keepers of the land.

P.S. You will enjoy the simplicity and yet everything you might need is there. The cabins still smell of newness and the beds and mattresses are very comfortable.

Great place to stop for the night, Wilma was super nice and pleasant. There was plenty of room and I pitched a tent on the north side. Got a visit from one of the dogs and he was chill. Cows were out in the pasture in the morning. Great place to spend a night while traveling through the area.

I loved camping at Slate River Dairy Farm! Wilma was very kind and welcoming. She made my first time using hipcamp so enjoyable, I booked a stay at another hipcamp later on in my trip. She has so much local knowledge to share, which she provides in the welcome package. Stopping in at their store the next morning was a highlight, the butter and milk are delicious!

After being in the woods along Superior and Huron, this property was an oasis of sunshine and privacy. The topography is low lands with pastorale meadows of incredible wildflowers and forest. The Hurkett Conservation Area, minutes away, provided wonderful hiking along Superior. The Ouimet Cavern is striking to visit!

As described. I was driving an EV and was able to plug in to normal household plug. There are also plugs for RVs if you need more power. Just park near or beside the dairy store and the field. Meet what I needed to camp for the night.
