Visitors often praise the friendly and helpful hosts, peaceful atmosphere, and cozy cabins equipped with wood stoves or fuel heaters.

Great view, cabin is very spacious! Stairs are a struggle at night, however, seem not “to code”.

Excellent Cabin with a beautiful view! We were glad for the oil stove on top of the wood fireplace to take off the chill of late October. If you’re there in the fall, I would recommend bring fuel for both!

Cabin was dry warm and enough room for 5 guys. Two guys shared the bottom bunk. It’s a great cabin in an amazing area of hinchenbrook island.

Beautiful, scenic spot. Lovely well maintained campground with lots of walks you can do. Great to hear the owls at night while sitting round the campfire.
