We absolutely loved our stay at Derrick and Rachel's place! It was everything we dreamed of. The place is private, quiet and you are able to fully relax here. The Dome is beautiful, set high with gorgeous lake views. It is clean, extremely comfortable and has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. They have every amenity you require, and excellent seating areas outside (around the fire, and at the dock). The available kayak, canoe and paddleboards allows you to fully enjoy the property. The sauna/shower was such a nice touch and a great way to unwind at the end of the day. If you are looking for a hidden gem, slice or paradise, or the perfect getaway this is your place! Rachel was very responsive and helpful. We highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Algonquin Lakeview Glamping Dome
We had a great stay thanks to Rachel and Derrick at the Algonquin Glamping Dome! Amazing views of the surrounding lake and a lot of amenities. We really appreciated the attention to detail and guiding us throughout the property on first arrival. Felt serene to enjoy nature in complete isolation. Thank you Rachel and Derrick!

Weekend Trip to Camp Rose Island
Sarah’s arrival instructions were perfect (our GPS definitely said we arrived before we arrived). We ended up being able to drive all the way in to our site in our Corolla, there was only one rock that stuck out a bit but Sarah warned us about it. The site itself was secluded and quiet, a good distance away from the next closest site. The lake was lovely, the land is lovely, Sarah is lovely; all around a lovely experience 💚

What an absolute treasure this place is! Beautifully appointed, completely serene and so peaceful! We loved our stay and thankfully the weather was perfect! Only thing I would note is we would’ve liked to be notified that the sauna and shower are located up by the main cottage near the road but other than that just perfect!

Staying at the Forest Site was a top notch experience! Sarah and Will were excellent hosts. Sarah met our car at the road when we arrived and showed us to our site so there were no issues at all in finding the campsite. The cooking area was so nice to have, especially since there was a fire ban and we couldn’t cook over the fire pit. The supplied tent was very roomy and comfortable and we also had plenty of space to pitch other tents. The Forest Site felt very isolated and private from the other sites. The shared beach area and swim dock were great and located on a beautiful private lake. Highly recommend and I hope to stay here again!

The perfect space to disconnect from the every day hustle and bustle. We loved the silence and peaceful nature of being here! Will met us with a friendly welcome when we arrived and showed us to our site. We spent 4 nights; canoeing and spending time in the water while at night feeling memorized by a sky full of stars! We loved our stay and would recommend to anyone who truly loves being in nature and off grid camping!

1 night at Camp Rose Island
Everything met our expectations at the forest site. 2 min walk to the lake which was nice. Enjoyed the canoes, some fishing and the paddleboard. It rained the whole time but that's out of everyone's control. The provided propane stove was handy. Just be sure to bring your own cutlery, pots, pans, napkins, etc... one person slept up on the bunk, while I set up a cot below. We both slept well. Recommend this to others looking to escape into the woods and not have to worry about bringing a tent.

Weekend Trip to Algonquin Lakeview Glamping Dome
Cozy, romantic, fun, peaceful, and beautiful are just a few adjectives that I would use to describe ALG. Derrick & Rachel are phenomenally thoughtful and responsive hosts. Our only regret with choosing ALG for our anniversary is that we didn’t book a longer stay! Lots of wildlife and adventure nearby too.

2 nights at Camp Rose Island
It was quiet and rustic. The sites are all spread out nicely. The door to the screened shelter has quite a step to get in. But you can get in to from the side where the tent is. The tent was roomie. The lake is weedy and has sinky bottom, but deep enough in the middle where the floating dock is. There was a canoe and paddle board which was nice. So you can get out to the floating dock to have a swim. The outhouse was.your typical one. I would suggest adding some screen at the top of it to allow some light in it and it was a good distance from the tent about 60+ feet away. I would like to try the lake side site if a rent again next year, you get your own little dock and it looked like the lake was deeper along the shore line making it easier for a swim then the other dock. Overall would recommend.

Weekend Trip to Algonquin Lakeview Glamping Dome
We found a little piece of paradise! Although we wanted to keep this hidden gem to ourselves, we just can't stop thinking and talking about the wonderful time we had at Derrick and Rachel's dome! Amazing, serene, awe inspiring, perfect blend of nature and nurture (loved the sauna and water sports equipment). There are not enough words to describe this unique place. Check in was quick and our hosts so kind, the dome is so beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Having the campfire and a gas BBQ was wonderful and so convenient but our favorite place to hang out was on the pontoon/ deck. From there we watched the fog move out over the lake in the early morning, we sunbathed and took a dip into the lake to cool off during the day, waited for the sun to set in the evening. It was glorious... We will be back!!!

Sarah's land was a wonderful place if you're used to the backcountry, but need to have car access for whatever reason. Our site was right on the lake with our own private dock. It was fairly secluded from everyone else, and the dogs were able to remain off-leash, which they absolutely loved. We stayed with a group of 6 adults and 3 dogs, and there was plenty of space for two extra tents. The cooking shelter was a HUGE PLUS that provided protection from the bugs, and the small lake was perfect for swimming and floating. Sarah's lovely co-host Will greeted us at the entrance and guided us to our spot, which was nice. We had 2 AWD cars at the site, and we left one RWD car back at the entrance. If you don't have AWD, I wouldn't sweat - it's a short and easy walk in. We would definitely come back!

We had a lovely stay at Sarah’s forest’s site. It has the privacy that most spots lack. Both Will and Sarah were very warm and helpful with everything. I suggest to anyone going to have a 4Wd vehicle to drive to the spot, otherwise pack light because there are some hills to conquer.

We really enjoyed relaxing here and the paddle boat was a huge bonus. We found a little beach spot across the lake and met a lot of the locals at this spot which was nice.

We recently camped at the Waterfall Rooftop Tent site at Camp Rose Island, and it was one of the most peaceful and unique getaways we've had.
The location is amazing—tucked deep in nature with the sound of a waterfall nearby that instantly puts you in relaxation mode. The rooftop tent was clean, spacious, and really comfortable, and the added shelter made it easy to cook, chill, and stay dry no matter the weather.
One of the highlights for us was the off-road access. If you're into 4WD adventures, the drive in is part of the fun—it really adds to that feeling of getting away from everything. Once you're there, it feels completely private and untouched.
There’s also a beautiful private lake on the property, and the view is absolutely stunning. We spent time just sitting and taking it all in—so peaceful and scenic. Whether you’re hiking, exploring, or just relaxing by the water or fire, it’s a spot that really lets you slow down and enjoy.
Everything was well-maintained and thoughtfully set up, and the host clearly cares about creating a great experience. We’d absolutely recommend this to friends who want something remote but still comfortable. We'll definitely be coming back. Thank you for sharing the place with us.
