Welcome to Camp Rose Island! We are 95acres of gorgeous natural land with a private lake! Featuring luxurious Rooftop Tents by Cascadia Vehicle Tents! Each site offers a brand new Rooftop Tent (RTT) with queen size memory foam mattress, perched above an indoor/outdoor structure with camp stove and dining area - all fully screened, with more space for tents on each site too! Each site also has its own dedicated outhouse and fire pit! Additionally, 3/4 of the sites offer a lower level “annex” of the RTT, which can fit up to a double bed, or simply be used as a changing area - it’s also a great place for your pets at night, directly below the sleeping quarters above, or as a cozy place to hang out during inclement weather. With only 4 sites to rent across the entire property you are guaranteed peace and tranquility. Guests enjoy access to the private lake on the property, as well as canoes and a floating raft, and the beautiful winding trail throughout the land. There’s really nothing like this unique experience!

Waterfall - Rooftop Tent w Shelter
Highly recommend!
We were there in early August. We are rookie campers(a family of 4) and stayed here 2 nights. We were worried since you won't get any electricity or cell phone signal.(barely at some spots maybe) but it wasn't that difficult and it was good to be away from the world for a couple of days. Sarah was very helpful from the time of booking as well as during our stay. Ask her whatever you wonder about the sites. The outhouse was surprisingly clean and not smelly, the 'tent' and the kitchen setup was a huge plus. It's nice and cozy. It might be a bit dangerous with small kids to climb up the steep ladder to the sleep area, so just be mindful if you are with little ones. I recommend the meadow for a family and waterfall for a couple. Waterfall is smaller and more secluded, and the meadow is a bit larger, flatter site with an extra indoor space that you can throw an air mattress and sleep another 2 or 3 ppl. And if you like easy access to the lake, choose other sites which are closer to it. To me, just walking there made me wanna quit(15mins) so we ended up driving there. There's a private lake and you can use the canoe & paddle boat& life vests for free of charge. We had a blast!!! It was so much fun. Bring lots of mosquito repellent, but you will still be eaten alive. but it didn't bother us too much since that's what you expect when you camp in summer. Overall, it was a great experience and we will book again, the site closer to the lake this time! 😉

Meadow Site - Rooftop Tent w Annex
A Great Camping Experience
Sarah made our visit very welcoming! The site was clean and the tent was very cool. To get into bed you have to climb up a ladder and it zips shut behind you. No bugs in the tent was a bonus and a sky view while you lay to go to sleep. Very private . The lake is shared with other guests and provided a canoe or paddle board . Picked tons of black berries. There are four camps to choose from . I think we will have to try the other three before summer ends. Thank You Sarah. We will be back soon

Meadow Site - Rooftop Tent w Annex
Firstly theres no mention about the extra costs to have other people. They charge per person but the host was nice enough to address the issue. It says the water front is a ten minute walk, it was more like a 30 minute walk. The lake water was filled with huge leeches the size of my hand. Even when we went to the dock that's in the deeper end of the lake, there was still leeches and we were unable to swim in it. Outhouse wasn't too bad but when you went pee it would leak through onto the floor. The shack attached was built a little odd. No stairs to get in the tent and shack. I felt it was overpriced and misleading in the listing.

Lake Site - Rooftop Tent W Annex
When we arrived we were greated by our host at the road who took the time to show us to our site and tell us about it. It was really convient to have the grill at the site and the screened porch to sit in when the bugs started to get bad for a bit around sunset. This site was vary quite and secluded, which made for a couple peaceful nights.

A wonderful, picturesque place on the lake! A great place to escape from the bustle of the city, go fishing, and simply contemplate the beauty of the local nature. In the summer kitchen-gazebo you can prepare meals, there is an outdoor shower, a fire pit, and several canoes to enjoy the beauty of the lake. Very welcoming, hospitable and responsive hosts. Thank you for your hospitality and for sharing beauty with others!
