We moved here 5 yrs ago and love it! Been working on upgrading and fixing just about everything. We live off-grid, but have solar power and a generator. We have a big garden and orchard. 2 of our tent sites are close to the house and outhouse, 150ft or so. I process firewood and do handyman work, while the mrs. works from home on the computer, so there is always someone here if we're needed.
We have 4 campsites available for tents or 2 for RVs.
We have 100 acres of mixed conifers, including red and white pine. The property boasts a vast variety of flora and fauna, including deer, grouse, porcupine, reptiles like salamanders, hummingbirds and songbirds along with the usual woodland critters, so bring your camera! It is also possible to spot black bears, coyotes, lynx and bobcats.
Enjoy the large common fire pit on our property, perfect for gathering and sharing stories under the stars. A newer cedar outhouse is conveniently located within a 5-minute walk from the tenting sites. Explore our trails, which offer a rugged adventure with alvars and unique flora. Nearby, discover beautiful lakes ideal for kayaking, fishing, and serene exploration. Pitch a hammock under the towering pines for a peaceful retreat. Just 10 minutes away, Misery Bay Provincial Park awaits your visit. Additionally, explore the nearby native reserves of Zhiibaahaasing and Sheshegwaning, home to the world's largest drum and dream catcher.
Locals are friendly and our resident woodworker has some beautiful carvings to see. It is fairly quiet and peaceful, as we are not on the highway. If you time it right you may find mushrooms, or wild strawberries and raspberries. There is a local diner 5 mins away. We are 420 friendly.

I loved our campsite at Darryl’s place! Very private campsite and nice trails around the property. We got to spend some time with Darryl and Vicky around the fire, such kind and fun people! Darryl told us lots about the local wildlife. Great place to stop on the first leg of a long trip and a memorable experience.
