Lower Bluff
Ian’s land is always well taken care of and this time we got the pleasure of meeting him and his family as well as other camp staff setting up for the season. They are so kind and accommodating. As always, the site at Lower Bluff was perfect and did not disappoint, even with the rain we had one day. 10/10 recommend!

Pioneer campsite
No-frills experience
I’ll start with the pros: Ian was a good host. He let us arrive to the campsite a few hours early. He also gave us permission to use the firewood provided (huge benefit). And he said we could stay in the cabins if we wanted because of the rain, which was nice. The potable water was cold and the nearby outhouse was clean.
The cons: No signage for Hipcampers. More signs would be helpful for check-in. The site itself needs landscaped. Grass was overgrown and very buggy - lots of flies and ants. The fire pit was big, but had burned rail ties in it which also meant rusty nails and screws everywhere (not good when you have an unleashed dog roaming around). In general, the whole site including the waterfront and surrounding trails felt unkempt and needed a refresh. Perhaps we just came early in the season. We were looking forward to getting in the lake, but the trails were overgrown and when we finally made it, it wasn’t as clean or inviting as we had expected.
Overall, we still managed to have a good weekend here. I would recommend this site for a large group wanting a no-frills experience and some privacy.

Pioneer campsite
We love tent camping the Pioneer site at The Summer Camp Experience! The site is huge and very private. It would be perfect for a large group of campers or for people with dogs that want a little privacy. It is just a short walk to a beautiful lake with swimming and some boating available. Just be aware that this is a true rustic experience! At the site, there is an outhouse type toilet and outdoor running water (with an indoor toilet and shower available at the lodge). Highly recommend this site and we will be back!
