This property is one of the last remaining natural areas around Sylvan lake. Our family has spent over 120 years as stewards of the land and are excited to share what we have protected. Enjoy Private Tent Camping in a Pristine Aspen Forest with a fire pit and picnic table. All within 500 feet of Sylvan Lake. This is the perfect place to disconnect yourself from the city! Your fee includes free access to 120 acres of forest, excellent wildlife viewing and unlimited deadfall to use as firewood, if you don't mind some manual labour. My kids cut and split firewood if you would like some waiting at your site when you arrive. We have seasoned and split bundles for $10 and you can pre-purchase them when you complete your checkout. It's like a lemonade stand for them...just more work. ;) A professionally maintained porta-potty is on-site for your comfort. We are pet-friendly! If you enjoy the water, this is an ideal location for Kayaking, Paddleboarding or just lounging on an air mattress. With its picturesque scenery and shallow shoreline, Sylvan Lake is a great place to spend some time. Sylvan Lake's laid back nature and small-town charm are warm and inviting and have all the amenities that you could ask for. We look forward to hosting you!

Site 3 - Hideaway.
Magical!
This is a hidden gem and my family and I truly cannot wait to go back. Our experience was absolutely amazing. The campsites are very private, but at a super reasonable distance from the parking lot. The site was in pristine condition, I felt connected to nature and completely disconnected from real life, which was just what I wanted. My kids loved exploring the trails and the beach is RIGHT there, very close. We got to the beach early, we were the first ones there and it was incredible having it all to ourselves. Gordon was extremely responsive and sent thorough instructions. Again, cannot wait to go back.

We had a great weekend at this site! Easy to find with the directions provided and the walk to the camp site was shorter than expected. Less than two mins to site #1. Site #2 is closer, but less private as it is straight down the pathway in. Gordon was super helpful, it was nice to have wood waiting for us when we arrived and his kids delivered more when we decided we would need it. The property is gorgeous, great trails and perfect location close to sylvan but secluded and with a great little beach nearby. We will definitely return!

Amazing spot and hidden gem. It's a short walk to the beach and feels very private. We came here with our baby for our first camping trip together and decided to come back with friends agaim a few weeks later.

Site 2 - Tall Tree.
Great spot
Very close to the lake which was very nice! Sites are well treed and shady. Site 2 is very spacious, clean place, nice walking trails too. I think the outhouse needs some emptying but other than that we enjoyed our stay! Very beautiful area.
