My friend and I went up for a short trip and found Wilma's farm here. It was a great experience! The lady who checked us in was not Wilma but she knew what she was doing! She was very kind to us and was very clear about the rules. She even gave us a list of things to do around the area. We checked in during the day but came back to camp at night. We felt very safe there and because it was cold we camped in my car. I would recommend this place! The workers are very sweet and we felt comfortable being there as two women in an unfamiliar place.

We had great time camping at Wilmas dairy. Wilma was very friendly and welcoming. We were also very happy to find some delicous products in her dairy shop!

Close to Thunder Bay but feels remote. Have a good night sleep and easy to get on and off.

Honestly, Paul’s place is a little peice of paradise! It was exactly what me and my partner were looking for as a little weekend getaway close to home. Even though we accidentally booked outside the standard season (sorry!) Paul was still super accommodating. The property itself was beautiful, and the pool and Sauna was a plus! He let us use all the extra accomadations such as the summer kitchen and wifi boaster that he definitely did not need to do! The only teeny tiny reccomendation I would make is to maybe removing the glass cup with the symbol that could be hurtful to some guests. Otherwise, I have nothing to say. Paul is a great guy, and I would love to book with him again! Thanks for a great weekend!!!!!

Weekend Trip to Niibing Tribal Tours
We soaked in the peace and beauty of the meadows and woods. We are grateful to Cindy for sharing her land and herself with her animals heartily. May much healing take place surrounding the Standing Strong woman and the Anishinaabe keepers of the land.

P.S. You will enjoy the simplicity and yet everything you might need is there. The cabins still smell of newness and the beds and mattresses are very comfortable.

Great place to stop for the night, Wilma was super nice and pleasant. There was plenty of room and I pitched a tent on the north side. Got a visit from one of the dogs and he was chill. Cows were out in the pasture in the morning. Great place to spend a night while traveling through the area.

I loved camping at Slate River Dairy Farm! Wilma was very kind and welcoming. She made my first time using hipcamp so enjoyable, I booked a stay at another hipcamp later on in my trip. She has so much local knowledge to share, which she provides in the welcome package. Stopping in at their store the next morning was a highlight, the butter and milk are delicious!

I really enjoyed renting at Boreal Bliss. exactly as described and I enjoyed a nice sauna and swim in their natural pool/pond. One of the dogs will be your best friend, the other is timid but very sweet. Hosts gave all necessary info and a short tour of the property so I felt at home. Would recommend.

We had a great time! Paul is a host of hosts. He genuinely cares that you are enjoying yourself. The property is great, with the sauna and pool being highlights. Make sure you visit the Sleeping Giant Provincial Park. And keep your eyes peeled for otters.

As described. I was driving an EV and was able to plug in to normal household plug. There are also plugs for RVs if you need more power. Just park near or beside the dairy store and the field. Meet what I needed to camp for the night.

The best camping in Kakabeka Falls Provincial Park, ON guide
Overview
About
The crashing waters of Kakabeka Falls (Ontario's second-highest falls) are accessed by a wraparound boardwalk providing amazing views that make this a popular park for both day-use visitors and campers. Fed by the Kaministiquia River, the falling water has carved the rocks so that you can follow historic voyageur routes and view 1.6 million-year-old fossils at the bottom. Hiking trails range from easy to challenging, and an abundance of flora and fauna showcase the region’s natural splendour. Kakabeka Falls Provincial Park campsites are large, private, and shaded, with playgrounds, comfort stations, and many amenities.
Notable campgrounds
- Best for big groups: Mountain Portage is closest to a comfort station.
- Best for RVs: Whispering Hills has pull-throughs and hook-ups.
- Best for classic park views: Riverside is closest to the water.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- This popular park is on the major road through Northern Ontario to Manitoba, so many people opt to stop here on cross-country road trips.
- All sites at Kakabeka Falls Provincial Park are reservable in advance via the Ontario Parks website, but you still may be able to walk up and score a campsite midweek or outside of July and August.
When to go
Though Kakabeka Falls Provincial Park is open year-round (and seeing the waterfall frozen in winter is amazing), the campgrounds are only open from mid-May to mid-October. To enjoy the beaches, you’re most likely to get warm waters at the end of July and through August, which is naturally the busiest time at the park. If you like a quieter stay, you might want to book earlier or later in the season.
Know before you go
- Kakabeka Falls Provincial Park offers barrier-free camping, a barrier-free comfort station, and two wheelchair-accessible trails.
- Some campsites are close to the highway and can be noisy, so check the campground map before booking your spot.
- The mosquitoes at this park can be relentless. Bring plenty of extra-strength bug spray!
- Cell reception can be patchy or non-existent here.
- There’s a park store in the visitor centre where you can pick up basic essentials and souvenirs, but the city of Thunder Bay is also close enough to grab other supplies.
