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! 😊

Fieldview is a really special place that we want to share with all of you- - we have organic kitchen gardens, fruit trees, unique buildings (a small cabin with a traditional Russian trimwork, aka "gingerbread house on steroids", a unique cordwood outhouse), an apiary and a friendly habitat for all living beings. We love nature and live a simple, minimalist lifestyle, growing our own food, caring for our Mother Earth and creating beautiful things that last. Located on a quarter acre of land, tucked into a corner of a hay field, surrounded by fields, forests, and hedgerows, there is a house, cabin, woodworking shop, and a few outbuildings. We have plenty of lawn space if you want to play ball or just lay on the grass! We have a fire-pit, a spot to spread a blanket under a big White Pine or relax in a hammock in the shade of the two Balsam firs. The campsite has an electrical cord available for you phone/computer charging needs. There is a kitchen table and a few chairs for you and your family to enjoy outdoor meals and drinks. We have just built a brand new composting toilet equipped with a little sink (we provide hand towels, toilet paper and soap) and outdoor shower with COLD running water. We are working on having hot water available - please be patient with us! We ask not to smoke on the property (no tobacco, cigarettes, marijuana or vaping), please go for a walk on the road if you need to have a smoke. Clean up and pack all your garbage. We have a very social outdoor cat that would likely spend days with you. He is very, very interested in food and can not control himself, just be aware that he might steal and chew through bags. We specifically provided a plastic bin for you to cat-proof all your food. PLEASE NOTE: There is an ongoing fire ban on Manitoulin Island - no open fires or fireworks. Camp stoves are allowed.

We absolutely loved staying here - the site was private and large and well maintained. The breeze off the water kept the bugs away, and there was so much to do, from paddling, to swimming, walking and exploring and enjoying a nice bonfire. Loved having a place our dogs could enjoy off leash as well! Sherri was so accommodating and flexible to us, and always responded quickly. We will definitely return!

This cabin is awesome! We stayed 2 nights and explored the island. We found the cabin and land so charming, with plenty of areas to sit, cooking utensils, and pretty solar lights. We had a fire at the cabin one night and a fire by the water the other. It rained pretty hard at one point and we were very happy to not be in a tent!

If you are looking for a perfect spot on Manitoulin Island which offers a place on South Bay right on the water, this is the place for you! Currently, there are no properties on Hip Camp offering privacy on Lake Huron. The owners have laid out the property in a way that you do not notice the neighbors. Rain or shine, the water views are gorgeous and untouched. This is a true Sweet Oasis! For Dark Sky Astronomy events, check out The Manitoulin Eco Park which is right down Rt. 6.

Camping in Fathom Five National Marine Park guide

Overview

About

Dolomite, 420 million years old, rises through the sparkling waters of Lake Huron to form Fathom Five National Marine Park. This is a freshwater ecosystem of ancient rock formations, cliff-edge forests, fascinating dive sites on 22 shipwrecks, and orchid species both plentiful and rare. Visit for a day or backcountry camp on starry-skied Flowerpot Island—Fathom Five is equal parts mystery and recreation, ecology and culture—and a welcoming escape to nature.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early to secure your spot on Flowerpot Island's limited backcountry campsites.
  • Check for cancellations regularly, as plans change and spots may open up.
  • Visit during the shoulder seasons for a better chance at snagging a reservation.
  • Explore nearby camping options for alternative accommodations when the island is fully booked.

When to go

The best time to visit Fathom Five National Marine Park is during the summer months when the weather is warm and the waters are ideal for diving. However, this is also the busiest season. For a quieter experience, consider the shoulder seasons of late spring or early fall. The park's visitor centre is open daily from 9am to 5pm, except on certain holidays.

Know before you go

  • Ensure you're familiar with diving safety and park regulations before venturing underwater.
  • Be aware of the seasonal hours of operation, as some facilities may be closed during the winter months.
  • Free admission is available for youth, making it a family-friendly destination.
  • Remember to book tour boats in advance for access to Flowerpot Island.
  • For any immediate threats or safety concerns, contact emergency services at 911.
