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.

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!

Great spot to camp my partner and I showed up very late to check in as our trip ran late but they were very accommodating and allowed us to stay the night. Thank you very much! Wonderful stay would definitely Park here again.

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.

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.
