This is a sweet little property of approximately an acre, though the whole lake is undeveloped. The site is treed with mostly mature trees and overlooks Little Robertson Lake. The lake is close, but the shoreline is not extremely easy to access. This campsite is private, but not remote. It is located close to a byway and you can drive in. There is not too much traffic on the adjacent road which leads to several white sand ocean beaches and trails along with Keji Seaside National Park and Thomas Raddall Provincial Park. All within a few minutes drive.Little Lake campsite is situated on a hill overlooking Little Robertson Lake facing South West. Nestled below mature trees, the site is quite open and bright and there is usually a little breeze. There is a nice picnic table, garbage and compost bins. There is firewood provided and a safe place for your campfire. A small outhouse(with toilet paper) is about 50 feet from your picnic table and tent site. The lake is about 100 feet from the tent site and it’s all your lake. Ducks, birds, beaver, deer, coyote and yes, bears all make their homes in the area. Minutes from Keji Seaside National Park, Thomas Raddall Provincial Park, Carters Beach, Summerville Beach Provincial Park, Port L’Hebert Provincial Park and many other beaches and trails.

I booked the wrong date so I didn't go but the owner got back to me and was very nice to offer me a stay in the future.

Absolutely gorgeous property! We arrived to some flowers on the picnic table, and the outhouse stocked with TP. It's (mostly) super peaceful, the lake is beautiful, and the trees are a good separation from the road. Noise of traffic was pretty minimal, and only most noticeable in the early morning as larger vehicles go by. The provided firewood was awesome and we made use of a small cooking grate left there :) Really our only trouble was initially spotting the civic number and driveway, which is the smallest on the road and well hidden in the trees! Sad we stayed only a night, and really looking forward to visiting again in the future!!

Little Lake Retreat

Was a great camp spot nice pit toilet, the lake was peaceful and there was a nice flat spot for the tent. There was even flowers left for me on the picnic table which was a nice touch, and the host was wonderful and let me borrow a beach towel when I realized I forgot to pack mine, the only downside was it was noisy, I read others say that in their reviews, so it wasnt a suprise, but yes highways noise and overhead airplanes, I spent most of my days at the beach though so it gave a nice break, and Im a solid sleeper so it didnt disturb me, but I would have enjoyed the spot more if it was quieter.

Danielle’s land was a great getaway from the city. It was setup great for tenting. The picnic table was a nice touch for preparing and eating dinner and the fire pit was in a great location away from the tent and had some nice chairs for sitting. The washroom was fully stocked with toilet paper and the sunset over the lake was beautiful In the evening. I would recommend bringing some water shoes if you want to swim though. The shoe is rocky and there is some water grass/ algae on the bottom. And the driveway is tight to get into if you had a large vehicle/trailer. We went to keji seaside in the morning for a hike which was only about a 10 minute drive past Danielle’s property. We had a lovely stay and would recommend!

Little Lake Retreat

Beautiful and peaceful spot.

The spot was beautifu, peaceful and private. Perfect for my pup and I for a few days. I loved taking the paddle board out on the water and finding a sunny spot for my hammock.

Little Lake Retreat

Location wise: Perfect! As host described, farley close to many attractions such as trails and beaches. The only downside for us was that it's too close to the road. At times it felt like you're chilling at your friend's backyard that lives in a city, cause you could hear vehicles from both the highway and the road. The place: Very cozy, clean and comfortable, as described as well. There's no clear and convenient access to the lake really, especially for kayaks (although it might be doable if you really want to and don't mind the "challenges"). The host: Danielle is very nice and thoughtful person. Quick to reply and willingness to help.
