Romantic

Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is romantic.

Like most folks who’ve been bitten by the water ski bug, I dreamed of having my own lake and when I met my life partner Harald, an elite slalom skier, my search began in earnest. By a combination of good timing and good luck, I was able to make that dream come true and in the spring of 2014 I acquired this land with the hopes of building my dream water ski lake on it. 7 years later, we have a thriving water ski club and are constantly making improvements to the site. We now have decided to add some sites for rent to share this incredible property with others outside the water ski community. Site #1 is a small cabin that sleeps 3 and site #2 is a small houseboat that has been converted to a bunkie. Onsite activities include use of a canoe and paddleboard. Use of a kid's swingset and olympic trampoline. Swimming and fishing. Pets are welcome, campfires are permitted.

It was okay
My family booked the Bunkie. I had set up a tent for myself next to the bunkie, while my husband and 8 year-old daughter stayed in the bunkie (they're not into camping at all lol so I had to compromise). Pros: • The place was wonderfully peaceful in the evening. • We enjoyed sitting by the fire pit, making s'mores. • It was fun to watch people water skiing • The enclosed gazebo was great, especially since there were lots of mosquitoes (we brought some citronella candles as well). We were in the gazebo quite a bit - for reading and playing board games. • Host was kind and helpful. We couldn't open the gas tank for the BBQ as it was closed so tightly, so she was able to accomodate for us to use another gas tank. Cons: • The porta potty was a bit of a trek from the bunkie (bring a flashlight if you need to go after dark). But I appreciate that it's cleaner than the washrooms at most Provincial Parks I've been to. • The bunkie could use a bit of an upkeep. There was a wasp nest on the roof (facing the gazebo). For most part, the wasps left us alone as we didn't disturb them. But it made our daughter a little anxious. • The door didn't close properly. Overall, I enjoyed my stay. If you're an outdoorsy person, but you want to vacay with your non-outdoorsy family, this place is a good choice.

My husband and I stayed here in the little boathouse and we'll definitely be staying here again. If you like cozy and dont need a lot of room, this is the perfect spot. It's so quiet and peaceful. We like doing absolutely nothing, so we spent our time sitting under the gazebo, fishing, spending time in the water on our floaties, and watching people water ski. It's fun to bird watch as well. Keep your eyes out for belted kingfishers diving in the water for food.
