Welcome to Camp Rose Island! We are 95acres of gorgeous natural land with a private lake! Featuring luxurious Rooftop Tents by Cascadia Vehicle Tents! Each site offers a brand new Rooftop Tent (RTT) with queen size memory foam mattress, perched above an indoor/outdoor structure with camp stove and dining area - all fully screened, with more space for tents on each site too! Each site also has its own dedicated outhouse and fire pit! Additionally, 3/4 of the sites offer a lower level “annex” of the RTT, which can fit up to a double bed, or simply be used as a changing area - it’s also a great place for your pets at night, directly below the sleeping quarters above, or as a cozy place to hang out during inclement weather. With only 4 sites to rent across the entire property you are guaranteed peace and tranquility. Guests enjoy access to the private lake on the property, as well as canoes and a floating raft, and the beautiful winding trail throughout the land. There’s really nothing like this unique experience!

Meadow Site - Rooftop Tent w Annex
One of a kind. Awesome night skies
Just a few things: The laneway to the rooftop tent is quite offroad, so high clearance vehicles only; Shower available, but do it before sunset, the water might still be warm; No bedding in the tent so at least bring a sleeping bag and a bug spray; Solar lights are provided.

Forest Site - Rooftop Tent w Annex
Serene forest site, a real gem!
Loved Sarah's site, definitely recommend! The property was easy to find and Sarah greeted us very warmly at the entrance before leading us further in on her ATV. We drove to the site thanks to dry weather and our SUV (old 2WD Hyundai Santa Fe) though I recommend a 4WD vehicle for a bit more confidence on the drive. When we parked Sarah said the site was 100m down a trail. We saw our outhouse, but no shelter at first. Then we realized how well named the Forest Site is! Maybe 40 paces from where we parked we entered the camp proper and were shocked we hadn't seen the shelter from there. The whole site but also the shelter itself are nestled beautifully among a lot of tall, mature trees just up the hill from the lake giving a lot of seclusion and privacy. The shelter was well built and in great repair. A little short for me to fully stand at 6'4", but plenty spacious for a camp shelter, and well laid out. Coming from the trail there's a central fire pit with the shelter off to your left, solar shower up the hill to the right, and a clear site for a tent/gear/etc down the hill to the right. All close enough for ease of utility but far enough for some privacy. The provided gas camp stove (w/ 2 tanks) was pristine and worked great. A second bundle of firewood from Sarah's brother (also great!) showed up quickly after a request. The communal lake access had 2 canoes, paddleboard, floating dock, and plenty of life jackets of varying sizes all in good repair and neatly organized.

Sleep under the stars!
Sarah's Forest site was the perfect choice for our weekend away. It was quiet, private, and nicely shaded while still offering some sunlight and a view of the night sky. The RTT structure was really interesting, offering a queen+ mattress that felt more luxurious than a usual night in a tent (and skipped the usual camp setup labour!). The best part was the open mesh panels that allow you to look up at the night sky while settling in for the night. The site comes equipped with a lovely little 2-burner camp stove and fuel, a fire pit, and a cozy outhouse located about halfway between the parking spot and the main site. Highly recommend spending a couple nights here if you're looking for the convenience of car camping with the privacy and quiet of backcountry 🏕️

Lake Site - Rooftop Tent W Annex
Camping at Sarah's was the perfect long weekend gateway! The view from the tent was beautiful, and the lake was so calm. Loved paddle boarding around it. The site is very private and there's not too much noise, overall a great experience. Would love to come back!

Meadow Site - Rooftop Tent w Annex
Clever setup in secluded meadow
Very clever setup using a car roof top tent perched on a custom shelter, in a beautiful, quiet secluded private forest meadow. The first night, after we were in bed, we were hit with a torrential thunderstorm and stayed completely dry! We did not get a chance to hang around the lake and try the canoes, but it looked lovely! Hopefully next time. Highly recommend. Also made use of nearby Silent Lake Provincial Park with our day pass including a challenging 15km hike, fishing and a lovely swim.

Waterfall - Rooftop Tent w Shelter
The perfect getaway
This site and accommodations were honestly 10/10 and exactly what my partner and I needed to get away from the buzzing city life. It was the perfect balance between glamping and more backwoods camping which was just amazing! The host was very friendly and offered plenty of help to us getting settled in and situated. Got us set up with firewood a camp stove and let us be to ourselves. Can't recommend Sarah enough! The waterfall campsite is very private and quiet! We even had a Muskrat pass by us totally unbothered, as well as we saw red squirrels and a whole bunch of cool frogs! So cool! Would definitely recommend this host, Sarah, and all their sites for anyone looking for the same experience! 10/10, plan on being back in the future!
