Are you looking to get out of the concrete jungle and away from the noise of the city? Once you board our special all included ferry SPIRIT OF THE LOON, to the 25 acre private island …your adventure starts! Oh, look the loon with her baby on her back! Oh the great Canadian echo of the loon call! Do you want to daze at the most beautiful, starry nights, cohabitate with many different species of 80 + farm animals on the island? From elusive alpacas to piglets, peacocks, baby goats, mini horse and donkeys and experience picking your own fresh farm organic eggs for your breakfast! Brushing and feeding the animals and taking them for a walk! We have 8 solar eco cabins and 25 tenting sites privately situated around the entire island. Have all night campfires and zen while watching the sunrise or the sunset as it dances and shimmers off the lake. Or how about experience using our double sided wood fired famous stone pizza oven it’ll be the best pizza you’ve ever made. We have sand volleyball and badminton courts, and a fleet of canoes, kayaks and paddle boards all included . If you enjoy fishing or want to catch a whopper the special fishing barge THE GOLDEN GAL awaits you ! Life is a beach, we have a small beach for your sand fun ! Book today for this upcoming season as you may hit the day that a baby goat is born! Please make sure you understand my pricing. If you have any questions, please let me know because I price out differently than any other place. Obviously, you see all amenities are all included. So , for example , 2 people would be $135/ stay ( which consist of one two or three nights is all the same price for the 2 persons ) . You can put up as many tents / dining tents , as you desire, Each site comes with a picnic table and a private campfire pit. I accommodate small, romantic couples, families , and large groups . I have special large group camping areas also. Awesome ! Captain TJ

Best camping experience you’ll find
Tent ·
Island Spirits Lake Site 1
One of the most incredible experiences I have ever had the pleasure to be apart of. Right from the moment we arrived the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Captain TJs ferry ride over to the island was an amazing glimpse of what we had in store for us during our stay. When we arrived, the staff accompanied us to our campsite with a trailer full of our stuff. He helped us unload everything and made sure to check if we needed assistance with anything. About 5 minutes into setting up camp and being on the island, we were greeted by two very kind and happy mini horses. They stuck around our campsite for a while then decided to venture elsewhere. What an introduction to the island! The rest of our stay included beautiful walks around the very well kept island, canoeing on the gorgeous Rice Lake, playing and feeding all their amazing animals, most of which free roam! We loved getting our eggs fresh right from the chicken coops in the morning! My partner and I wished we had booked for longer as we were so sad to have to leave so soon. If you’re looking for a relaxing, fun, warm and welcoming space to spend your weekend (or longer!) then this is absolutely the place to go. We met many people who have been returning every year and now we will be joining the club! From the staff, to the animals, and the beautiful island, everything about our stay was incredible. We are so excited to return and are already counting down the days! Thank you to Captain TJ and all the staff!

Island Spirits Lake Site 1
I cannot express what a wonderful time we had with our 3 kids (6, 4 and 1.5). Kids are getting cranky? Visit the animals. Bored? Grab a boat. Hot? Play in the lake. Taught my kids "gotta pee, find a tree!" And also, "stop complaining, we're camping!". With the chaos of bringing kids on vacation it was so nice to explore the island and find so many peaceful places to basically check our and meditate. We had fresh eggs (one of which Dad sat on forgetting it was in his pocket) and got used to having resident goats at our site. The kids were VERY entertained by finding all the outhouses and reading their names. My 6 year old discovered a love of fishing and I even rowed a boat for the 1st time! Captain TJ was phenomenal. Her vibe is so easy going and chill yet she means business. We had the pleasure of her as captain of our ferry there where she offered to let the kids drive the boat. We also saw her frequently around the island (the lack of island map made every day a quest to find new things and wandering animals made it fun for the kids to explore). From seeing Captain TJ kayaking to the Island in the morning to floating by on a quest to make it around the island on a tube she was a big part of our positive experience. Her crew is friendly and you can tell they want to be there, which says a lot. The bonding was amazing, the island was magical and I can see ourselves coming year after year. Thanks to the crew for all you do!
