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.

Learn more about this land: Entirely surrounded by nature, beautiful and peaceful. A place to let go and just be. The camp sites are located with 160 acres in the middle of the forest. There is no traffic, no motor boats, no sea-doo's, no lawn mowers, just nature. The sound of the birds and the sound of silence is all you can hear. The campsites are spacious and tucked within the trees. Not entirely private, but private enough. There are more than 2 campsites available. All are by the swimming pool, sauna and summer kitchen area.  The pool area consists of a wood burning sauna for enjoyment and washing up, a fire pit for socializing and cooking, propane or charcoal BBQ's and a summer kitchen with a propane stove and cold running water. The pool area is the common area. Most of the time it is vacant but there may be other friendly, welcoming guests or myself enjoying that space. You may get the entire area to yourself. You never know. There is an artesian well beside the creek behind the summer kitchen. It is pure spring drinking water. Seeing the property is totally off grid there is no hydro or city water. So no plumbed in toilets. There is an outhouse for human waste. There are solar lights around the pool and sauna and a place to charge and use cell phones if need be. There may be other options available for your stay. A 21ft RV trailer with all the amenities of home for $100 per night. You can view the trailer on the air bnb site called "Pool side bliss glamper RV trailer". Glamper meaning you have to bring your own blankets, sheets or sleeping bag and pillow.

The best camping in Edward Island Provincial Park, ON guide

Overview

About

Venture to the remote Edward Island Provincial Park, a hidden gem nestled in the vast waters of Lake Superior. This nature reserve beckons the intrepid explorer with its dense boreal forests and geological wonders. Geologists and rockhounds will revel in the diverse volcanic and sedimentary formations, while the serene cobble beaches offer a tranquil escape. Accessible only by boat, the park promises an exclusive adventure amid Canada's rugged wilderness.

When to go

The best time to visit Edward Island Provincial Park is during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall, when the lake's icy grip has thawed. This period offers the most comfortable weather for boating and exploring the island's geological features. Winter visits are only for the most experienced adventurers, as conditions can be harsh and access more challenging.

Know before you go

  • Ensure you have the necessary boating skills and equipment for safe travel to this boat-access-only park.
  • Check weather conditions before your visit, as Lake Superior can be unpredictable.
  • Prepare for a self-sufficient trip; there are no facilities or services available on the island.
  • Respect the natural environment; take all trash with you and leave no trace.
  • Be aware of any park alerts or closures by contacting the Thunder Bay District Health Unit prior to your trip.
