56km from Arrow Lake Provincial Park · 1 site · Tent, RV · Thunder Bay, ON
We are an on-farm processing dairy where we take the milk from our own farm and bottle this in glass returnable bottles. We also sell other local products. We let campers stay in our parking lot where they can enjoy a beautiful sunset and many hiking trail just minutes away from us. Please note that when you book our place we may not see your booking right away or any messages from you to us, since the Hipcamp app is not working properly at the moment. If we haven't responded in a timely manner please email us from our website. slateriverdairy@tbaytel.net Campers can walk down to the river and maybe see a beaver hard at work. Campers will not be allowed to walk to the farm as insurance won't allow us to host campers when we do. Please do not drive around the building or pitch a tent on our septic field. There is a black mailbox by the front doors where we will put a welcome package for you. This has a map and websites of in the area hikes and other businesses. There is a lake about 12 min drive from us with a nice beach. We will provide a pick nick table, unless other campers are using it. A short walk from us is a small Catholic country church, and you can walk to the Slate River Bridge on Hwy 608 and on Hwy 61.

Niibing Tribal Tours

100%
(2)
59km from Arrow Lake Provincial Park · 13 sites · Lodging · Neebing, ON
Bring your family or organization to stay on my pristine land situated on 135 acres located 45kms south from Thunder Bay airport and 10 minutes north of the Minnesota border. I welcome you to rent one of my thirteen rustic cabins or pitch your tent in a private area to reconnect with nature and rediscover yourself. You can also purchase add-on experiences to learn more about Anishinaaabe practices and the rich culture of the region. For nature lovers and boating enthusiasts, the Little Trout Bay Conservation Area and Lake Superior boat launch are all less than 2 kms away. Enjoy the James Duncan Nature Trail located in the same area, perfect for a day hike. A firepit with firewood for purchase is also available for your family to enjoy. I look forward to meeting you soon. Niibing means 'it is summer' in Anishinaabe. My paternal ancestry is Anishinaabe from north of Lake Superior and Cree/French from northern Manitoba and my maternal ancestry is from England through my great-grandmother. I purchased this land in 2017 to fulfil a lifelong dream to live in the bush next to water and to offer tribal tourism opportunities to global visitors. My ancestors have been greeting visitors on Gichigami (Lake Superior) for thousands of years. I feel that when I am greeting visitors. It is important to me and to my role of Lodgekeeper to be welcoming and accommodating. As a Lodgekeeper, I was presented with the Spiritual guidance to conduct this work for all people, Indigenous and non-Indigenous. I am very passionate about this work and share the concepts of 'All My Relations' and our interconnectedness with the animals, trees, plants, mountains, water and all the other beings of Mother Earth. It is my life’s work. “I offer these teachings and experiences from my role as Lodgekeeper, gifted to me through ceremony. I do this work from the heart, with the understanding that healing is sacred — and sustainability is sacred. Every contribution supports the land, the Spirits, and the continuation of these opportunities for future generations.” Standing Strong of the Anishinaabe People
