After a brief 2-3walk in to the forest, amongst the trees and rocks lies on a raised platform a beautiful tent with an amazingly soft bed. There is a kitchen area well stocked with the necessary amenities. The surrounding land is rich with moss, ferns and trees with the sounds of birds heard from the tree tops. Once settled, the peacefulness is appreciate and the quiet during sleep is a welcome sound.
Having a full stocked camp is a welcome addition to those that perhaps cannot travel with much and for those that do not want to lug it all around with them.
A truly beautiful gem tucked away in the woods.

Great place - in all kinds of weather! The tent is very spacious and the bed was much more comfortable than expected.
My stay included a rainy, cold and windy day and the tent stayed warm and dry and was a cozy space to lounge with a book until the weather cleared. Once the sun came out, the deck and the bench by the water were great hangouts, and the surrounding woods made the space feel private and calming. Location is convenient to supplies and great beaches. Erik was a very responsive, accomodating and helpful host.

Camping on Erik’s land was an absolute delight! Erik is a fantastic host—extremely communicative, accommodating, and a pleasure to chat with in person.
The campsite itself is a gem, nestled in a serene forest clearing. The centerpiece is a well-crafted setup: a spacious canvas tent stretched over a sturdy wooden frame, complete with a firewood stove, chimney, and fireproof flooring that doubles as insulation. Nearby, there’s a convenient outhouse and a fully equipped cooking station, stocked with pans, tools, and a small gas stove.
At night, the magic truly comes alive. The minimal light pollution allows for breathtaking views of the night sky, and the peaceful atmosphere is broken only by the occasional rustle of wildlife or the whisper of the wind—no road noise, just nature at its finest.
We camped in December, braving temperatures that dropped to -10°C. Thanks to the stove, we stayed incredibly cozy, even shedding extra layers as the warmth filled the tent.
The site is about a 2-3 minute hike from the parking area, which is manageable as long as you pack in bags instead of bulky totes.
This was an amazing experience, and we’re already planning our next visit. Highly recommend! Thank you, Erik, for such a memorable stay!

Erik's tent was comfortable and warm in mid September. We didn't even have to use the wood stove with temperatures at 12 degrees overnight. The queen size bed was just the same - comfortable and warm - with a thick soft comforter that worked so well we didn't have to use the sleeping bag we brought with us. Our two dogs loved the adventure in the woods and we enjoyed our cook out on the propane stove provided with all of the necessary pots, pans, dishes, and cutlery provided. With a glass of wine and can of beer in hand we relaxed by the fire pit until bedtime and had a quiet and peaceful night's sleep. Very nice!
