Private Camp Site #1

Very nice land, with many things to do. It really shows that they have worked hard on the place. Signalisation on site was great, we apreciated having the bay so close and being able to go hike. Couple of things to know….the bugs in august while we stayed were CRAZY. Our dog wanted to atay in the van most of the time because of that, so bring ton of bug spray. Also, the campsite #1 is really close from the Glamping (accomodation). A couple was staying with 4 young kids and it was pretty loud. Our 20’ van fit in the spot, but larger than that would be hard. I’d recommend campsite #3 for more privacy. The owner’s dog, who is very kind, is offleash and will probably come say hi. Good thing to know if you have a dog yourself. The place is well kept, hosts are amazing and overall it was great. Good attention to details from the host!

Loved the Place, but Got Bugged Out

Little Dipper Dome

Jennifer is lovely! So helpful & great service. The property is beautiful and off the beaten track. If you want to get away from people and unplug, this is the place for you! When the description says no cell service, it’s not kidding. I did a solo trip, and to contact my husband I had to drive about 8 minutes up the road on hwy 533 just to get 1 or 2 bars of service. Some things to be aware of - the Little Dipper dome is right next to the Big Dipper dome. There’s a swath of trees between the two sites, but they don’t really provide much of a sound barrier (good privacy, though). Unfortunately, my neighbouring campers were quite loud, which wasn’t ideal. It’s worth noting, that in summer (I stayed in July), the dome gets uncomfortably hot inside during the day, even with the screen door open, air vent on, and curtain closed and stays that way through the entire day, until the cooler morning/evening hours (enjoyable inside when cooler). The hosts provide all the essentials, which is awesome! The composting toilet did not smell at all, and was clean/no flies. I loved the nature sounds very much. The only thing I didn’t like, was the amount of bugs. Bugs don’t usually bother me, but even with bug spray they were incessant, which ruined my plans to soak up nature while there - since the nature experience was my whole reason to go, I was a little disappointed by that. But I definitely will stay again, maybe in a different season (when there’s less bugs).

We loved our stay at Nature's Harmony. It was a cold Victoria Day weekend but we kept cozy with the wood stove in our glamping tent. We hiked and canoued and enjoyed Riley's (dog) company. Thank you for hosting and sharing with us your beautiful land.

Private Camp Site #3

I stayed here for part of my annual camping trip with my dad and brother and absolutely loved it! Jen was so nice, had detailed directions, the place was organized well. Tent site #3 was private, the land itself was beautiful. We especially loved use of the water equipment down at bangs bay!

Creekside - Group Camping

My friends and I had a great time tent camping on Jen's land. It was a very nice balance between the privacy and off-the-grid experience of backcountry camping and camping at a park where there are amenities. The small town of mattawa is a relatively close drive away if any food or supplies are needed. The campsite was nicely shaded and had comfortable soft ground for sleeping on in a tent. The property itself is beautiful and well-maintained. We plan to come back next year!

Private Camp Site #3

This campsite is truly exceptional, thanks to both the stunning property and the outstanding host. Jen's dedication to maintaining and enhancing the site is evident in every detail! The grounds are immaculate, and the range of amenities is a real treat. The river access is fantastic, providing a private spot perfect for swimming and paddling. This place is a hidden gem, and I can’t recommend it enough!

Shamayim Cabin

This place was amazing!!! Felt like having a provincial park all to ourselves. My three kids age 12,9 and 3 all loved it and there was plenty to entertain everyone. Highly recommend the little mountain hike. Manageable for everyone with a very rewarding view at the top!

Levitation Tent over the creek

My family loved the Levitation tent! It was a fun and unique weekend! The site was very private and rustic and we had the bonus of using all the Lodge's amenities throughout the day. My kids loved frolicking in the creek, going on the Northern animals scavenger hunt, and swimming in the lake. We all had a blast and can't wait to come back. Thank you for your hospitality!

Little Dipper Dome

The absolute best part of this place is how isolated and enormous it is; trails and creeks everywhere and access to the lake/river simply wow! We went to sleep listening to nature and woke up listening to nature. It simply does not get any better than this. We now have our favorite place to visit in Mattawa; thank you Jen and family for allowing us to share your beautiful home.

Little Dipper Dome

Jenns property was a slice of heaven. The little dipper dome was the perfect size for our girls' (3) weekend. It had everything we needed and you could step out the door and start hiking.

Big Dipper Dome

If you are looking to disconnect this is the place. We stayed in the Big Dipper dome, loved it. The ambiance at night with the fire and the stars was amazing. The property is huge but what we seen of it was stunning. Bangs bay where the kayaks and canoes are is a great place to kill a day on the water. The sauna(extra charge) totally worth it. We will be back. Thank you Jennifer and team for this amazing place to hide from the crazy world.

Levitation Tent over the creek

Very unique campsite, I have never experienced camping like this before. A stream, with a tent over it, surrounded by trees and a stary night. And no neighbours in sight! This, along with the lake and canoes available made it easily a calming getaway. Would highly recommend this private experience. The staff was also lovely and polite. Hope to be back soon

Levitation Tent over the creek

The campsite is well isolated from the road so that you can't hear anything but the creek and the nature which is really nice. The host was very accommodating with providing us with cooking essentials and greeted and guided us with all the hospitality. The biggest marketing mistake of the campsite is not having more pictures of the lake! It is an absolutely stunning and peaceful place with the minimum people that you can explore (for free!) using the provided water equipment. It was really worth all the time driving so far. Sauna was worth it as well because it is well maintained and is very pleasant to visit. There are also numerous trails for hiking with decent views. I would definitely recommend this to anybody. The only downside is that there isn't too much flat ground on the site in case you are bringing more tents but we settled well.

Such a beautiful and well equipped campsite! Jennifer was so helpful and friendly, check in was great and we were given lots of useful information. The trails on site are well signposted so it makes exploring the land super easy. Lovely to be able to swim in the lake and hang out on the hammocks. Would absolutely stay here again!

Little Dipper Dome

I had a great time staying in the Little Dipper Dome. It was clean and cozy and it even got cool enough at night to light a fire in the wood stove. It was exactly what I wanted for a quiet vacation. You feel like you're the only one there. Great paddling and nice hiking trails too. Thank you Jen!
