A nice tucked away spot, good for a road trip over night.

Autumn camper
We recently camped at Waypoint and had a wonderful relaxing weekend. Perfect place for a really chill time not too far from the highway, but far enough to feel like you're nowhere. The hosts are warm and kind and care about your stay and that you truly do enjoy your time. I pulled a camper to a spot that overlooked a valley to the west. The autumn sunset along with the fall leaves makes for some wonderful campfire sit and sips. Emma's written directions are easy to interpret. I will definitely stay again, maybe to do some fishing in their beautiful pond. Thanks guys!

Emma’s place was easy to locate, Quiet and a short distance off the interstate. We were travelling and just stopped for the evening. The washroom was very clean and stocked. Thanks

We loved tent camping on the land. We’re used to dispersed camping and this was it. Great Lake and views! Easy to find as near the interstate. And loved meeting the animals. Emma is very knowledgeable and passionate about what she does.
