Tent Forest Campsite #1
Complete privacy in the forest!
This site is very close to the description, but even more magical!
Shelagh and her family are wonderfully friendly and have created the most tranquil site I have been to yet!
The site is nestled in the woods with a comfy table and bench close to the fire pit. They even provided some wood for me to have a fire.
There’s complete privacy here, save for a truck or two that uses the road to service the train tracks that are near by. The train does go by every now and then which is kind of cool to go watch.
I found there was so much to explore at this site! Including the river that’s a short walk away and little trails and fields that me and my little dog frequented.
There’s also wildlife in abundance here, which is beautiful. If you decide to stay here, you should take precautions to keep yourself protected from the wildlife and to protect the wildlife as well.
If you are looking for a wilderness adventure that has the feeling of being the only person around for miles, this is it!

Great site! Shelagh was very prompt in replying and everything went seamlessly. Just a heads up, this is a site in the middle of the bush, so if you are camping for the first time alone, just be aware that there isn't anyone else nearby.
Absolutely beautiful spot to Stargaze

This site was an amazing little get-a-way from the hustle and bustle. The road is a little bumpy but I was easily able to manage it in my sprinter van no problem. The new outhouse is gorgeous and the small private beach by the bright blue river was a once in a lifetime experience. Would definitely stay here again in the future, especially with a few friends or a larger group!
The site is 100% private during the afternoon/evening, which as a solo traveler got a little freaky but would be awesome with a group/if that is what you are looking for. In the morning, a few work trucks headed to some jobs down the same shared road drove by but otherwise did not see anyone while out there!

Great host!
Unfortunately we didn’t get to stay here because our Volkswagon golf is too low riding and doesn’t have a belly plate, to make it through the potholes on the way in. But any vehicle with a little more lift would be just fine! Shelagh was great to communicate with and answered all my questions. She even gave us a refund which was unexpected and welcomed.

Such a beautiful private place to escape the crowds. Nice little private beach not too far from the campsite. 10/10 highly recommend!
