Primitive camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Learn more about this land: You have to use our rowboat to get to the property. Our rowboat has a turquoise blue bottom and the oars will be underneath.  This is not comfortable camping. It is more roughing than a regular campsite because there's not even a washroom or an outhouse. On the other hand it is a beautiful section of the river and the land is right at the meeting of two rivers, the black and the moira. If you boat a bit up the black river (back past where you parked) you can tie the boat a walk up a set of rapids which is super beautiful with little swimming spots along the way. Alternatively you can row towards the reeds and the river opens up and there are beautiful granite outcroppings. Go past the last cottages and there is a big rock you can walk up and have a picnic and enjoy the view. Hiding up there are some very deep rock crevices. This is moira conservation authority land. If you paddle down the river through the tall pines, you come to a very small set of rapids which you can line a canoe past but you can't really take the row boat around. Don't get caught in these rapids.... you could hit rocks and wreck the boat and it won't be a pretty sight. If you can tie the boat before you get to the rapids, it's a nice place to swim. You can also walk in the forest behind the property. If you can't see the cottages, you are probably on a right of way. If you meet people, you should talk to them, be friendly and tell them you are staying on Edith's land at the tip of the peninsula.

Poison Ivy Warning
The instructions the host gave us we’re not very clear. The site was very difficult to find and even now we are still not sure we slept on the right property. I tried to call the host during those difficulties but no answer …. Also A LOT of poison ivy on the property and no fire pit. We had to improvise and make our own! On the other hand the canoe ride around the property was beautiful and neighbors are friendly!

Pack light! This was a lovely, private spot on top of a bluff. The surroundings are so serene, nice paddling opportunities around. Climbing up the hill with lots of gear was work but the site up top is clean, bright and quiet. Lovely fire spot with grill too.

Alone in the wilderness (sort of)
Nice and cosy very private for being amobg many cottages. Beatiful scenery and a good site for a tent and a fire. The venture across the river is sweet and simple.
