Akehurst Lake Wilderness Resort

(27)
61km from Caligata Lake Provincial Park · 5 sites
A very remote, tranquil log cabin fishing camp hand-built in the 1960's. Akehurst Lake Wilderness Resort is only accessible by ATV (snowmobile in winter) or by foot (a 9-minute walk from the parking lot). There is no public access to the lake so it is wonderfully private & peaceful.
We offer 5 cabins in total with some areas suitable for tents.
There is a day-lodge with a kitchen and eating area for guest's use, kayaks, row boats, and a paddle board free for use as well as a wood-fired sauna!
The lake is excellent for swimming. It is feet-friendly, shallow, and has no sudden drop-offs. And if you like to hike, fish or BOTH then this is the place for you. There are many nearby lakes that are a short drive/ride and hike away!
Akehurst Lake does not have cell service or wifi. Lights are made possible by a gas generator in the evening. There is only cold running water in the day-lodge sink which is seasonal and depends on if the creek is running. Guests should be comfortable being in the woods and aware that if no one else is there, they will need to light the stove and fridge and operate the generator if needed.
**Packing List**
- Bedding (sheets & blankets or sleeping bag. Pillow covers)
- Extra pillows (we provide 2 per cabin. Ask if more are available before arrival)
- Towel/face cloth
- Dish cloth & Dish towels
- Paper towel/napkins
- Toilet rolls
- Lighter for fires (if applicable). Ours tend to all go missing or stop working
- Flashlight
- Drinking water
- Cooler & ice
You are welcome to create your own outdoor kitchen at your cabin, but we do ask you to be mindful of removing items from the day lodge that those using the kitchen might be counting on.
***We cannot stress this enough**: This is very remote. It is truly another world up there and we cannot be there at all times so it is a good idea to have some knowledge and experience in off-grid/backcountry living!

Positives: Great wifi, pristine washrooms/showers, site 4 nice river view, friendly/helpful hosts who allowed us a late checkout so we could ride the bike trails before leaving, happily charged the trailer and filled up the water tank before heading back off grid.
Slight negative: a little close to the road (but did not disturb sleep), sites have no privacy from each other, expensive (but our views are warped as we had been camping for free/$7.50/max of $35 per night till this point and this was our treat/regroup/check emails/refill/repower night)

The campsite is in a beautiful location, especially site 4 where we were, with a view of the river. Everyone has their privacy. Everything is very well maintained and the washrooms are always clean. We really appreciated the shower mat.
Thank you for suggesting activities for us to do. We went rafting with Liquid Lifestyles Whitewater Rafting. They were very good and knowledgeable!
And Clearwater is also a truly magnificent place!

Wow - what an amazing spot to be privileged to be camping on. Having your morning coffee by the river, watching the bald eagles across the river, the calmness of the area, and having the owners' horses keep us company - it can’t get better than that. Lindsay was super communicative, met us upon arrival, and shared great insight on the area and some fun activities. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend Lindsay’s place. Her husband was helpful in showing us how to get to our camp. The view from the site was beautiful - and the land is very private. You can’t see the other campers so it feels like it’s all to yourselves! I’d definitely go back.

Beds in the TV are comfy and stove and toilet work great. They provided water and some glow sticks and bubbles for my daughters! The TV does rock when someone moves and You can hear the trains.
