Came in very late after a World Series Game. We set up quietly with prior permission and got some well needed rest. Very quiet and peaceful. Washroom and parking were great. Highly recommend this host and will be back again on my travels. Here is a picture of the washroom and parking, I do not think there was one posted.

Sue and her husband were very friendly and helpful! We had a quick one night stop but still had a good time. They were very accommodating even for our 9m RV which they helped us hook up to power.

Perfect place for a comfy nights stay. Electric available near parking spot and Sue and her husband were very friendly and helpful to make us feel welcome, including giving access to her bathroom which was close to entrance door in the house. Thank you!

Sue ( and her partner Bert) were so very accommodating. This was our first nite with our new to us RV, and getting help setting up, having shore power and water was really reassuring. Also, access to a bathroom ( toilet/shower) other than our own in the trailer was a bonus.

Christina was a super responsive host
The site was just as desxribed except it was much more magical than anticipated
Beautiful view of the night sky and little touches like tiny solar lights in the bunkie and on the trees near the water. After spending a lot of time in campgrounds, this stop was wonderful break.

Sue was late coming home, but she told us to make ourself at home, and park anywhere we wanted.
We spend just a little time with her visiting, but did not take long to feel right at home .

We took our truck camper to Sweet Oasis and weren’t disappointed at all with the view! Spacious and fairly private. The properties around are long and narrow so the neighbours are quite close but hidden by lots of foliage! It did seem like the neighbours were having a party a couple of the nights we were there so I might be mindful of that if you’re looking for a quiet getaway…The water was lovely (I’d recommend water shoes as it’s quite rocky) we had a nice dip and took out the SUP board. Great way to cool off! Liza was extremely responsive and kind and would highly recommend a stay!!

The campground/resort is very cozy with cabins & a trailer scattered throughout the property. The Chickadee campsite was wonderful - right next to the woods, with its own private path to the river (a lovely spot for morning coffee in the sun). Also close to the (very clean and un-smelly) outhouse/vault toilet, shower, and water tap. Good mix of sun and shade. And power! Access to the beach across the street was incredible! Also within walking distance of the town. Deanne was a warm and welcoming host. Really felt at home here. Honestly couldn't have asked for anything more! :)

Deanne and Wayne were so friendly and helpful. They made us feel very welcome. The property is so close to the beach and is a quick walk into town. The creek that is behind the camp site is lovely to enjoy a cup of coffee along in the morning!

My wife and I absolutely loved our time at Sweet Oasis. Sweet Oasis offers a beautiful view of the sunrise and a perfect view of the night sky. An absolute must for anyone looking to unplug and enjoy the outdoors. The space also has plenty of seating, tables and a great fire pit. Liza was a kind, great and communicative host! It's very serene, secluded and quiet. Do not miss your chance to book this spot, you won't regret it.

We loved camping at Anastasia’s land. The property itself was very beautiful and had a space under the shades for our campsite. The ground was level and perfect to pitch our tent.
Even though we came late, Anastasia waited to check us in and gave us a detailed tour of the property.
The washroom with hot water and electric supply was exactly what we needed after a long day of exploring the island.
Review will be incomplete without mentioning Koshak who made sure to keep us entertained 😸
Overall this was one of the best places we have camped at. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a campsite in Manitoulin.
Thank you Anastasia for your hospitality!

The Chickadee Rest campsite was lovely, we lucked out and had the area to ourselves. We enjoyed being surrounded by trees with access to the creek from our campsite. The shower was clean with plenty of hot water and the owners are working on building a washroom beside the shower. The campground is across the street from a large, beautiful beach. The town is small but there is a great fish and chip restaurant within easy walking distance. We really enjoyed our stay, and the owners were kind and welcoming.

A nice quiet spot on shore of large lake in southern part of the island so close to ferry crossing. Site is large with many private spots with porch swings or tables and chairs in addition to huge open space. Shoreline is rocky but once past that, water does drop off so nice for swimming at that point. Huge lake would be great for windsurfing once out a little bit.

Sue and her husband are really lovely! They have a great space, I loved chatting with her about her beautiful garden. There was a rain storm and she checked in on me. Felt super safe as a solo female traveller ❤️ would happily stay again!

I spent two nights here and really enjoyed my stay. Hosts were excellent with communication and very welcoming upon my arrival.
Site is very well clean and well-maintained and backs up to the Mindemoya River, with a nicely cleared path, providing access down to the river if you so desire. The entire camping area was mowed and hook ups were easy to use, with trash and recycling receptacles right at my site.
The hosts are the newest generation to manage and operate this business which has been in the family for several generations. In addition to the camping site, there are cabin sites, as well. They are modernizing and upgrading and doing a good job of it, from what I could see. The shower area was clean and modern with good hot water and good water pressure.
Chickadee’s Rest and the other two similar sites were adjacent to, but separate from the cabin areas, giving a safe, peaceful feel.
Fulford’s is within probably 100 meters or less from the boardwalk at the Providence Bay Beach. When I arrived, they shared with me that it was a great place to watch the sunset over the bay. It is also walking distance to pretty much everything in Providence Bay. I found it to be a right central location for my time exploring various areas of Manitoulin Island. House went above and beyond to be helpful and accommodating to me, and if I ever return to the island, you can be certain that I will plan to stay with them again.

2 nights at Spring Bay Bunkie... Lot 20
I was impressed, the place had about everything you need for cooking, then some. Loads of chairs and loungers of various types. The lake is a limestone shelf (Alvar) that drops off very very slowly, you have to go quite far out to get to your waist, but be mindful of the waves, dont turn your back on them as a general rule. The water was clear and cold, but not frigid, the perfect type of cold on a summer day, you can stay in for hours. A general store is up the street about 6 mins for any needs. To be picky, the bunkie only needs one thing, a solar powered roof vent, it trapped a lot of heat during the day. It was hot at night. But this is just a trivial nitpick. I've done a lot of Hipcamps all over North America, this is one of the top 3.
I would like to go back again.
