Living close to Georgian Bay, I’ve always wanted a waterfront property and I always believed in my heart that I will be blessed with one someday. After our family’s first camping trip to Manitoulin Island, my husband and I fell in love with “Spirit Island” and decided to find our own special place. Around Thanksgiving weekend of 2019, after several trips back and viewing a dozen properties, our search for a land was finally over and our wish came true. God was and is indeed faithful and in His own sweet time, has blessed us with a beautiful land. It has been quite a journey and with God’s grace, our place has been such a Sweet Oasis! It is our hope and prayer that we can share our blessings of this land to everyone who loves nature and respect God’s awesome creations! 😊 Sweet Oasis is a private camping get away. Tranquil & serene campsite provides you with a beautiful waterfront view. RV only campsite (dry camping). Forest, mature trees, birds & wildlife. Swimming, canoeing, kayaking fishing, biking, campfires & little adventures. Sweet memories await you. 🙂 Please note there is a quarry operation nearby which can be heard periodically. It may not be bothersome for others, but for those who are noise sensitive, that is something to be mindful of. Unfortunately, we don’t have any control over it. Wishing you happy trails! 😊

I will definitely stay here again next time I'm in the area.

Weekend Trip to Sweet Oasis

We took our truck camper to Sweet Oasis and weren’t disappointed at all with the view! Spacious and fairly private. The properties around are long and narrow so the neighbours are quite close but hidden by lots of foliage! It did seem like the neighbours were having a party a couple of the nights we were there so I might be mindful of that if you’re looking for a quiet getaway…The water was lovely (I’d recommend water shoes as it’s quite rocky) we had a nice dip and took out the SUP board. Great way to cool off! Liza was extremely responsive and kind and would highly recommend a stay!!

Weekend Trip to Cabinco - Northern Bruce Peninsula

My wife, our dog, and I had a great time staying here for 2 nights. The trailer is very comfortable and has everything you could possibly need, which made our stay easy and enjoyable. We would definitely consider coming back in the future. The only downside was that the site we chose offered almost no privacy, and the neighbouring site was very crowded and noisy with over 14 people, two tents, and three cars. I was under the impression that trailers usually have a maximum of 4 guests, so this was a bit unexpected. Overall, a good experience and a nice spot, but something to be aware of depending on the site you choose.

An absolute must for anyone looking to unplug and enjoy the outdoors. The space also has plenty of seating, tables and a great fire pit. Liza was a kind, great and communicative host! It's very serene, secluded and quiet. Do not miss your chance to book this spot, you won't regret it.

We loved camping at Anastasia’s land. The property itself was very beautiful and had a space under the shades for our campsite. The ground was level and perfect to pitch our tent. Even though we came late, Anastasia waited to check us in and gave us a detailed tour of the property. The washroom with hot water and electric supply was exactly what we needed after a long day of exploring the island. Review will be incomplete without mentioning Koshak who made sure to keep us entertained 😸 Overall this was one of the best places we have camped at. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a campsite in Manitoulin. Thank you Anastasia for your hospitality!

A nice quiet spot on shore of large lake in southern part of the island so close to ferry crossing. Site is large with many private spots with porch swings or tables and chairs in addition to huge open space. Shoreline is rocky but once past that, water does drop off so nice for swimming at that point. Huge lake would be great for windsurfing once out a little bit.

We had a wonderful stay at this campground! Victoria and Chris were warm and welcoming hosts, and their three dogs were so friendly (we loved when they stopped by the site for some pats). The property is peaceful, with plenty of space to relax. Nights were quiet and calm, and the sky was full of stars - a perfect spot for stargazing. Plus, it’s just a short drive to Saugeen Beach, which was a great bonus. Highly recommend for a peaceful getaway!
