We just got back from my stay and we

We had a great two night stay at the Owl's Nest cabin. Helmut answered all of our questions before we left and transported us to the cabin to show us around the cabin and property. Cabin is secluded and off-grid. Our dog was not a fan of the steep stairs to the loft. Don't forget to bring your orange vest and remember to check for ticks. Highly recommend for those looking for a quiet getaway.

We absolutely loved our stay at Owl’s Nest! Helmut treated you like family, sharing his experiences tending the forest and the cabin that he built. If you’re looking for a place to get off-grid, connect with nature, and be able to explore the many trails just outside your door, this is the place! We especially appreciated how the land was private, so that we could let our pup explore without worrying about running into any other dog owners. It was a great to share this cabin and we will certainly be coming back!

Property is right on the road but there is a long dirt driveway the length of the property that allows you to get back away from the road. The vegetation was a bit overgrown and dry when we stayed so we didn’t drive all the way back but there is a nice flat field area in the back that would be a nice spot to park for the night.

Overview
About
Cedar Dunes Provincial Park offers a serene escape with its expansive ocean-front views along the Northumberland Strait. Visitors can immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the park, stroll along the miles of sandy beach, and explore the historic West Point Lighthouse. With a provincial campground available, adventurers can stay amidst the coastal splendour, enjoying amenities like wifi and recreational programming during their visit from June to September.
Notable campgrounds

- Laundromat Facilities: Convenient for extended stays, ensuring a comfortable and hassle-free camping experience.
- Nature Trail and Playground: Ideal for families looking to engage with the outdoors and keep children entertained.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- Book early to secure your spot, as the campground is a popular destination during the summer months.
- Consider staying mid-week for better availability and a quieter experience.
