The best place on Manitoulin!
10/10 the best place to stay on Manitoulin! I loved my tipi, the ranch, the campfires, the beautiful animals and peace and quiet so much that I extended my two day trip to five days. Jeff is an excellent host - attentive, friendly, gives you plenty of advice on what to see, and allows you to have all the space you need to truly unwind.
He’s also though of absolutely everything so there are very private flushable toilets, warm showers, a kitchen with all the tools you need to cook bake and BBQ, and a communal campfire each night if you feel like joining.
I would recommend the Kicking Mule Ranch to anyone looking for an opportunity to experience the island, rather than simply visit it. I can’t wait to return!

Highly recommended
Very welcoming host showed me around The Kicking Mule Guest Ranch which was bigger than expected. Beside my assigned tent, there are other tents, houses, a hot shower, a toilet, a kitchen, an outdoor firepit, etc. Electricity available. Parking by the tent. A western feel to the whole place. Even the lighting. I'd recommend spending at least 2 nights there since the site is on Manitoulin Island which has plenty of things to see.

Jeff runs a very chill guest ranch. Plays guitar at the nightly campfire. Great community with people I just met. Tipi was comfortable - for a tipi!

My grandson and I really enjoyed our time at Lewy's Teepee at The Kicking Mule Ranch. The owners are both relaxed, kind and helpful, and ensure you are well taken care of.
The washroom was very close to our teepee, was very clean, and even had flush toilets!
The nearby outdoor kitchen had a propane fireplace to take the morning chill off, with grills to use for toast, as well as every possible kitchen item you could need. You can even label a shelf in the fridge on which to store a few items during your stay! The tap water is not drinkable, but you are welcome to use the bottled water jugs supplied for drinking.
Jeff keeps the kids happy by letting them feed the chickens in the morning, and entertains the adults around the campfire in the evening.
Such a lovely place to stay!
