Don’t fret if you don’t see any red squirrels at Red Squirrel Campground.

It’s really more about the boating and birdwatching. Some getaways are made for campers with a lot of get-up-and-go. But this ultra-petite, ultra-basic spot is for those who just came to sit back and relax. Whenever you need a little natural beauty, grab a spot here and unwind!
