Campsite all to yourself surrounded by spruce and birch. Only one site. Private, peaceful & secluded. Nice place to stay that's not like a parking lot. Centrally located for exploring the peninsula.

Just up the road from a brewery with weekend entertainment and a food truck.Campsite nestled in spruce and birch forest. Private campsite with private entrance, not shared. Room for passenger vehicle. Limited space to turn around or back out, not for RV's, trailers or towing.

It was difficult to find. I think a small sign or anything marking the correct driveway would be nice. I don't like diving up people's driveway all last. It's very private. We loved that.

Great little spot for a weekend with the dog. Off the main road but easy access to everything.

Camping spot was close to town but felt like the middle of nowhere! Hidden from any roads and feels so remote. Gorgeous spot.

Site was as described. Great location to use as a base camp with a brewery and laundry mat within a mile.

Great spot that's close enough to the highway to be convenient but far enough to be quiet and private. Kids loved exploring the forest. And it's just a short drive or bicycle ride to river access.
