Weekend Trip to Beach and Forest

If you need an escape from the every day, this is your place. Our adventure began with a ride through scenic Winter Wonderland ride in the woods via UTV. The charming cabin, all hand made by Helmut, was charming, homey and very cozy during the cold winter weekend. There are some candles and lamps provided for light and three huge jugs of water to drink and wash dishes with. The wood stove functioned perfectly, keeping us warm at night and provided perfect heat to cook on. Lots of firewood and birch bark to keep the wood stove going and plenty for a fire outside, which we thoroughly enjoyed with drinks and snacks. The outhouse is clean and scent free ;) Helmut was a very friendly host and responded quickly to messages (given that he was our ride in and out). He groomed trails all around the property which made our Xcountry ski adventure super enjoyable. The wilderness area around the property is majestic. Some trails were left un-groomed, which was perfect for snowshoeing as well. Highly recommend this off-grid getaway. While we did not want to leave, we did so with a feeling of peace and tranquillity. Thank you, Helmut for sharing your little piece of paradise with us! 🙏🏻🌲

1 night at Manuel's Camping

Manuel was super super helpful. He guided us all the way and was all the time available for any help. The camp site is really amazing, clean and cozy. Would definitely recommend. Must visit for a peaceful night out.

Weekend Trip to Beach and Forest

We loved our weekend gateaway and we'll be back for sure! We spend the weekend doing fires outside, play with our dog, cook on the woodstove and even did a chocolat fondu at candle lights. This was our first experience with HipCamp and we are not dissapointed! Helmut was a wonderful host he made sure we had everything we needed and to thank him we cleaned and got is camp ready for the next one! I would recommend anyone that want to unplug and live the off grid experience to jump on this right away! Take it for 2 days! You will not regret it! Thanks again for the experience!!

Weekend Trip to Beach and Forest

Had a lovely time with my friends exploring this beautiful woods and enjoying a cozy stay at the Owl’s Nest cabin. I would give 6 stars if I could! The work being done to protect and care for this forest and its inhabitants is very inspiring.

Weekend Trip to Fraserville Off-Grid Camping

Pristine site on a gorgeous, well-maintained property. Great firewood and outhouse. Site 3 was such a quiet, peaceful location- perfect if you prefer camping in the woods. Beautiful stars and sunrise over the water. Dan was very helpful and quick to respond. What I wish every camping experience could be.
