THE LANDSCAPE

Simple tent sites, no power

The campground offers multiple tent sites without electrical hookups, designed for a stripped‑down camping experience where you rely on basic equipment and alternative heat or cooking methods if needed.

THE COMFORT

Single‑night cabins with hot water

If you prefer not to unpack or risk wet gear, single‑night cabins are available and include a bathroom with hot and cold running water—an easy alternative to tent camping.

THE BASICS

Shared washroom options

Facilities are minimal: the site provides outhouses or one shared washroom on site, maintaining a back‑to‑basics feel for campers.

The property’s choices emphasize simplicity and self‑sufficiency, with cabins available for those who want running water without unpacking tents.
