RV/tent site

Enjoy 'Volnost' ("Freedom"), your own private property amongst the trees, not visible from the road. The vibe, mystique and nature around you will provide the options of hiking amongst the savannah and wetlands, biking along the lake, swims in warm shallow water, a clear view of sunrise, sunset, the stars, of over 250 species of birds, see the beautiful vineyards, tour a winery, enjoy restaurants, ice cream shops, arts & music scene and fishing. Or, just quietly "Zen out" amongst nature not found anywhere else in the world on this ecologically unique, most southern inhabited island in Ontario, Canada. Steps to the most beautiful, clean, shallow, sandy beach. You can rent golf carts, bicycles, e-bikes, take a winery tour and ruins, boat tour, visit the Butterfly Sanctuary, museum, mini-put and more! Included in your stay are amenities to enhance your experience: a screened-in picnic table, fire pit, supply of potable water, and a new private outdoor bathroom for convenience. Additionally, we provide some campfire wood to kickstart your evening gatherings around the 36" fire ring. Just a brief 3-minute stroll from the property, you'll find a small sandy beach perfect for cooling off, while Pelee Island's premier East Beach, a larger public beach, is a leisurely 9-minute walk down the road. Accessing the island is easy—simply walk, bike, or drive onto the ferry. The ferry ride itself is a memorable experience, offering captivating east and west views. Remember to book your ferry reservation in advance to ensure a smooth journey.
