Tent
It was an extremely short stay due to scheduling. We wanted something to setup fast, cook some food and go to sleep so we can leave very early in the morning. The place met the expectations. It was flat and we setup the RTT in no time. 3 fire pits to choose from, privacy wise I think in full season when the trees have leaves, it is as private as it can be (we camp early and cold may so it was quite open. Michel guided us over chat and it was very responsive. The only negative is that previous campers did not leave the place better than they found it. Cannot be too judgmental on that since even us we did not picked up stuff left behind the other campers. To our defence, we arrive at 5PM and left 3AM with some rain in between. We plan to go again and do better. All in all we loved our short stay. The sound of small creek close to the campground puts you to sleep instantly.

Boniour,
belle place pour se
ressourcer en nature dans le calme et la tranquillité. Ou I'on peut prendre notre temps pour faire les choses sans stress. Le chalet l'essence Ciel nous
permet d'avoir tout se qu'il nous faut pour être bien. Une mezzaline pour dormir, une grande banquette pour manger à la table.
Même que vous avez un cartable avec toutes les activités que l'on peut faire dans la région.
Cette fin de semaine. ma
permis de faire un bilan de 3
années de travail sur moi et de voir mon évolution de qui ie suis aujourd'hui.
La Terre du Retour en Soi est un bel emplacement. Je le conseil.
Une place où il va me faire
plaisir de retourner.

2 nights at Cute Cabins - Ready to camp
We had a wonderful weekend in this cozy cabin in the woods.
The place is peaceful and perfect to disconnect from everyday life. The cabin is really cute and comfortable, and we felt at home right away.
It was exactly what we needed for a romantic getaway, far from the city noise. We left feeling rested and already wanting to come back!
Thanks to Luc for making our stay so enjoyable.

The site was as described, the pond and stream are beautiful. However I could not really take advantage of it because of the very high quantity of mosquitoes and midges. Michel communicated well and I would go back at a different time of year.
