Paul's campsite is a cherished retreat that guests consistently praise for its serene riverfront location and thoughtful amenities. Many appreciate the clean facilities, including a well-maintained shower house and picnic shelter, which enhance the camping experience. Although some visitors noted the presence of mosquitoes, the overall sentiment remains overwhelmingly positive, with frequent mentions of the site's peacefulness and beauty. Families, in particular, highlight the added touches for children, such as the play structure, making it an inviting destination for all ages.
Paul has a beautiful cabin nestled in the pines with beautiful views of the Moyie River. It was a very quiet and private retreat, ideal to bring comfort and inspire your soul.
The cabin is very nice and the environment is beautiful. Paul was very informative and everything was as he described. The place is eay to find and the access road is fine for any vehicle. We were there late season the wood stove was awsome.
Paul is incredibly accommodating and the property is beautiful. Unfortunately, our already short trip got cut even shorter due to an unexpected emergency. However, we plan to come back and spend more time in this incredible and relaxing spot. I cannot recommend this place enough!
Great spot! Beautiful everywhere you look. Would love to stay again. We left a few redbull goodies for other campers to use!
