Great warm people. Property bit rough when you come in but hip camp field in the back was beautiful and separate from owners house. Lots if privacy. They came to check to see if we needed anything. They were wonderful. Bit loud with rosd noise at first but after 9pm quiet. One train came thru. But all in all lovely.

Weekend Trip to Forested Meadow at Beach Resort

I had a lovely time camping at Noah and Cheryl’s tent site! I came with little plans other than visiting the Oak Hammock Marsh, and Noah gave me many suggestions for local things to do. I enjoyed some time on the community beach and enjoy some food at the local restaurants. I felt like a local! I enjoyed my camp site under the stars with plenty of room to spare. I felt like I had a good distance and privacy from the other campers. Overall, Noah and Cheryl were very kind, I really enjoyed being at the site, and I will have to come back again with some friends. Thanks for having me!

Our time there was quiet and Cindy gave us a full measure of privacy. The only downside was the traffic noise from highway 8.

This is one of the most memorable camping experiences you could ever have just 1 hour drive from Winnipeg. Highly recommend for somone looking for quiet, private, safe and comfortable camping!!! The unique design of the dome will give you the feeling of sleeping under the stars with its transparent ceiling!! Canoeing in Whiteshell river is a bonus. You will see turtles, eagles, many different varieties of fish and if you are lucky enough even a bear! Above all you will meet the most friendliest and most accommodating hosts, Amber and Johnny. We rate this 10 out of 10 for; comfort, cleanliness, price, amenities, location, gueat services and accuracy of information. We will come again and again!!!

We booked this camp site very last minute but it didn’t disappoint us at all. Was a very large property with beautiful scenery. Felt different than most campsites really. Unique in its own way for sure. 10/10.

Extremely nice people and very accommodating. We have a rooftop tent setup and they found the perfect spot for us. Great place to stay if you are checking out the Winnipeg beach / matlock area.

Noah greeted us with warmth as soon as we arrived, letting us know we could reach out anytime if we needed anything. It was just a short one-night stay, but we truly enjoyed it — quiet, simple, and just what we needed to unwind.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Beautiful property and very private site in the forest. The open fields were amazing for a walk with our dog on the cut grass trails. The property is a quick ~ 30 minutes to Winnipeg. There is a railway line to the south which you can occasionally hear but didn’t bother us. The host was able to provide water from their well for our RV water tank on the way in. We will definitely return on our next trip in the area. Loved it!

Camping in the Poplar trees was relaxing. It is fairly close to the hwy, but it was not too loud and we could hear the wind blowing through the trees not the vehicles on the hwy:) and the trees provided a nice wind block on a very windy weekend!

Cindy is an A+ host. Extremely responsive and very accommodating. The property is beautiful. I had a 30ft RV and had everything I needed (water, electricity and dump). Had a great one night stay and would gladly stay again. There are two dogs on the property and Cindy made the effort to introduce myself and family to the more “excited” dog so it could be aware of our presence. Otherwise we did not see the dog during our stay.

We have been recycling this farm for years. It was owned previously by a couple who worked for a nursery and they planted many varieties of trees. Later it was part of a Manitoba pilot project for hi-bred poplar so there is a 14 acre poplar forest that was planted on a grid. It is a very unique place. We love it here and hope you do too! Learn more about this land: Enjoy over 40 beautiful acres within the heart of the prairies at Blacknot Farm! Perfect for pitching a tent or parking your RV, camper van, or trailer. A wonderful family-friendly getaway only 20 minutes north of Winnipeg, and 10 minutes from Selkirk, Manitoba. There is outdoor access to restrooms, water, and electricity on the property. With 5 sites to choose from, you can select a very quiet and peaceful spot in the trees or field or choose to be closer to the house and barn with wifi signal, running water and flush toilets. While you’re here, you can go on nature walks, raid the garden, play yard games, enjoy a bonfire, and explore the woods. If interested, ask for a tour of the 3 season party hayloft with antiques, vintage video games, an old pool table, and a zip line. We have stationary and portable fire pits for your campsite. We can help with some firewood for campfires, a picnic table to enjoy your meals, and potable water that is available through a tap (both hot and cold water). All sites can be accessed by a traditional car, no off-roading or 4-wheel drive vehicle is needed.  If you’re interested in exploring the area,  Selkirk, Manitoba has plenty of fishing and a marine museum.  We are also a short drive to Lower Fort Garry National Historic Site.
