A great hideaway!

23 ft campervan

The site truly felt like a 'hideaway' ... quiet and peaceful, and our Host was kind and accommodating :) We enjoyed a roaring fire with a few beers and just relaxed the night we arrived, since we got there with enough daylight to get the fire going. We enjoyed a lovely slow start to the morning with breakfast and coffee before heading out to explore the island. A lovely stay! Thanks Tom!!

Tent

The site was private and as described. Had everything we needed for a semi-primitive campsite, including toilet and an outlet. Tom was very a welcoming and responsive host. I do feel the need to mention that the mosquitos and spiders were out of control and gave me the worst bug bites I’ve ever gotten from many years of camping. Obviously bugs come with the territory with primitive camping and it’s hard to tell if this was a chance occurrence or not, but something to keep in mind and be prepared for.

Not exactly as expected

Tent · With kids

Pelee island is quaint and neat place to visit. We had a good time. The camp site needs a little work. There was an abandoned truck that was blocking 1/2 of the drive, this made it difficult to get in and out of the camp. The abandoned truck in the drive and a few other things made my wife uncomfortable and we ended up not camping there. We went around the corner to the East Camp Ground. The owners communication was good and he was kind enough to provide firewood but the vehicles and a few other little items keep this from being a great place.
