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!!!!!

I loved the hospitality and they were supremely accommodating. As hosts they were available for questions. The land is a postcard, lovely and serene. I would definitely come back and recommend to others who will be in the area.

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!

This was a nice site to tent at. Our site was secluded, the facilities were good, and the proximity to the Ouimet Canyon is unbeatable.

This is a really great lakeside property with a dock and seating at several viewpoints along the lakefront. The facilities were immaculately clean and well maintained. Each campsite was spacious and private. I highly recommend this HipCamp!

Tent camping on Paul's property was an awesome experience! Had a super fun 4 days there, the pool and sauna was amazing, nothing but good vibes. Would definitely recommend to anybody who wants to experience nature with the luxury of an inground pool
