It starts and ends with family.

It all started in about 2008 with a bright pink school bus covered in hippie designs being turned into a food truck. We parked it on the north side of our 7-acre property next to Egmont Road.

The campground and cabins came next. The family worked together to lovingly build each of the six cabins, two lofts, and the modern central washrooms to be both practical and aesthetic. Each is equipped with electrical plug ins for your convenience.

“An absolute gem. Gorgeous location, everything lovingly hand-built with much attention for detail… We will definitely be back to stay a longer period than the 2 nights we had this time. Thank you, Cheyenne and Dwayne, for making this feel like a homestead instead of a campground.” – Eric Hop

will sleep like you’re in a luxury hotel. Some good bedside lamps and an electric kettle for morning coffee or afternoon tea. A table, a couple of chairs, and a mini fridge. A deck on which to relax with your favourite beverage. A hammock for you to lay back beneath the trees with a good book.

One of the most unique features of this eclectic place is the farm settled on the hill above. Miniature horses, chickens, ducks, geese, bunnies, quail, dogs, and a Guinea hog, plus a few stray cats often sneak down to visit the guests. Guests who wish to come up to the farm for a meet ‘n greet, the Visiting Hours are noon to 2 pm daily. We appreciate your respecting our privacy and the security of our animals by following the posted hours and the rules in the Farm Etiquette tab in the header above.

We welcome families with children to Strongwater. The adorable playhouse with slide offers hours of fun for the little ones to build imagination and creativity.

Please be aware that children under the age of 10 must be accompanied to the Wash House, as we have suffered damage in the past from rambunctious little ones. Damages will be charged to adults of the party responsible.

We have two canoes free for the use of our guests on a first-come-first-served basis at Waugh Lake, just a short walk from Strongwater. Look in the Paddle Shack next to Cabin 6 to find the paddles and life jackets. If they are not there, then the watercraft are already in use. Everyone must sign a waiver before using the equipment. Read the signs!

“If you are coming to visit or surf Skookumchuck - THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE!! Beautiful campground! Wonderful people! And a location that is outstanding! An unforgettable vacation with Strongwater Campground being at the center of it.” – Pat C.

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
