Great Hipcamp find!!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Derek’s. Derek is a wonderful host. Friendly and very welcoming. Showed us around their GORGEOUS property when we arrived and offered use of kayaks and dock. Beautiful spot to spend an evening. Lovely views and very quiet, peaceful sleep. In the morning, Derek directed us to the fairly new coastal trail which was the perfect stretch before continuing our journey. Don’t hesitate to stay here if you are in the area. We will be back if we are travelling through Thessalon again! Thanks Derek 👍

Five stars
Beautiful spot. Perfect for an overnight stop like we did but a longer stay would be great too especially if you want to get on the water. The view from the dock is priceless both during the day and at sunset. Derek is a great host. Five star hospitality.

We loved staying at Derek's place! Great place to enjoy quite evening with a spectacular view! We were able to use kayaks, so we had a beautiful evening kayaking on the Lake Huron and up the Thessalon River under the iconic Red Bridge. City of Tessalon is a small town with a big sense of community and beautiful beaches. Derek is a great host!

The name says it all
Derek was a very gracious host and met us on arrival. He showed us where everything was, and offered power hook-up (very welcome on a hot day!!), potable water and internet. It was pure heaven at this peaceful and beautiful spot. What is not to love about sitting on a dock on an Adirondack chair overlooking Lake Huron and hearing the waves lapping? The parking spot was flat, easy in and out and had a view of the lake as well. A picnic table was right outside our door. When traveling in this part of Ontario again, we would definitely request to stay! Derek’s home is beautiful and shows great pride of ownership. The other homes in the area are further away and everything felt very private. Highly recommend.

It was a beautiful view indeed. The camping spot is in the driveway of the home, but the host was accommodating and gracious. We used our camper for privacy and enjoyed ourselves very much. Derick gave us biking and running routes so it was fun to see the area from a locals perspective.
