My friend and I camped in our car and van and had such a lovely experience at Hilary’s land. The rain shower and portapotty worked out perfectly for me since in my car I’m not set up for either of those things. Our neighbors were very quiet and the location is beautiful.

Amazing Camping!
This is a hidden gem if you like to camp. I tent camped for 12 days and I will definitely be back. It’s very well kept and close to everything if you want to venture off this beautiful property.

The Glamper at Bay Forest
Exceptional Glamping Experience
Everything was exactly the way we expected it to be. The property was beautiful and slightly rugged like the description stated, which enriched the glamping experience. Our glamper was so quaint and secluded with a fire pit and picnic table for eating at. The beachfront was minutes away and very peaceful with access to two kayaks and a beautiful view. The hosts were very accommodating and Thomas came down and introduced himself to us and told us all about the property. We had one camper friend at the next campsite and we became friends and hung out too! Everyone was so kind, my wife took a shower in the outdoor shower and the portapotty was clean and well stocked. We enjoyed our stay very much and look forward to coming back again and again!

The canvas tent was set up lovely and it was just a far enough walk away that you were “away" but not far away Incase you need something from the car or wanted to drive to the area beaches.

Wonderful experience
Stayed three nights and really enjoyed the experience at Bay Forest Retreat. The property is beautiful. From the trail, the campsites and the beach, it was great to take it all in. We even found time to fight the strong winds and spend some time in the kayaks.
Will be back, for sure.
Thank you.

This campsite is great!! It really has everything you need, large camping area that you can kinda spread out in. The walk is a little rough when you’re used to car camping and over pack but it’s doable. Keep in mind this is in a fairly residential area- our first night we hardly got any sleep from dogs barking nonstop nearby, so earplugs will be your best friend here. All in all, great site and would recommend 🙂👍🏻

We stayed for two nights, the land was very well kept. Really nice beach and wood was everywhere and available. A bit of a walk to the camp site but it makes it feel authentic. Will stay again!

Dream Camp!
Loved staying here!! The beautiful water view was such a treat at sunset and in the morning! It was really easy to build campfires, lots of dried kindle, starter, and some logs. The kayaks on the property were a fun treat during a sunny day! 5 stars, would visit again. :)

We had an amazing time tent camping here. It’s a perfect mix of a rural getaway and a beach trip. The trail to the beach bay was awesome and a great way to spend the mornings. The host were very friendly and communication was great. Highly recommend staying here to anyone.

Peaceful nature getaway
Awesome experience. Short trail hike to spacious clearing with multiple sites and a glamping spot! Close to everything and in nature. Met the host. Great peeps and passionate about the land and being eco friendly. We didn’t get a chance to set up camp on the bay but next time. We will be back soon

This was a little oasis 7 minutes driving to the beach, but didn’t feel salty or like you were even close to town. The couple that owns it was so sweet and accommodating, and live just a short distance away in case something was needed. The primitive sight was maybe a 4 minute walk to where we set up camp from where we parked and the couple offered to help us bring everything out even offering to help us set the tent up. Very roomy and would love to bring a group of friends to go camping together there! Just another short 5 minute or so walk further back, you have access to your own little private beach. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back!

1st Experience
We were greeted immediately upon our arrival by the host. She was so friendly & took time to walk us thru the campgrounds & explain all the features.
The grounds were very clean & set up nicely for each campers private experience. Plenty of room for a group or individual campers. There was available electric & water for RVs & campers alike.
It was very quiet even though it was pretty close to a main streetcar & pretty secluded. The potta-potty was clean & there was very nice laid out path to the beautiful scenic lake.
This campground seems to be more new & developing. There is so much potential for an amazing layout for guests as the progress in their endeavors. The only suggestion I would make is to possibly create a pathway or widen the current one for campers that use or need vehicles while camping to access the rear campground instead of using wagons or carriers. Other than that...it was a great experience.
We will definitely visit again in the future

We spent a night at this convenient stop. The hosts communicated clearly, precisely, and with genuine care about our experience. The equipment tote to the tent sites was inconvenient for this old geezer, but backpackers and fit folks should have no problem with the portages. Maybe they plan extend the road for car campers as there were piles of fill looking awkwardly handy for such a project.
