We loved it here! We stayed in a dome we booked through Airbnb. The hosts provided excellent guidance on finding our dome and all the activities we could enjoy in the area. The space was clean, and the vibe was fantastic. You can sit by a campfire outside and immerse yourself in the sounds of nature, with birds singing and the river flowing nearby. However, it is a bit pricey

I don’t normally make reviews but I thought it was important to give notes because this place has so much potential. First impression was not great, lack of management and communication, it’s very rustic, roads are rough and the site/accommodations were untidy and not clearly marked. This was my first visit so I emailed to make a reservation, made a deposit by Etransfer as I was instructed to do but then I did not receive any sort of confirmation or email after that. I tried calling a couple of times but got voicemail. Took a chance and headed out anyway, it’s not that far from home. Got there and was a little confused about where to check in. The “office” is a little RV parked down the road from the entrance, and there were a number of random buildings in between. Spoke to a very nice young guy, filled in my name and birthdate on the form then he sent me on my way with no clear indication where to go. My fault for not clarifying and he did offer to call someone to show me the way and said to call if I needed to. (When I did get lost I tried calling but got voicemail.) I got to the campsite, there were a few teepees and I didn’t know which one was mine so I just chose one and got set up. There wasn’t anyone else staying in the other teepees while I was there anyway. Another young man walked up shortly after I got there and introduced himself as a manager and gave me a couple of notes. But when I went to leave there was no one at the office, I tried calling again and still couldn’t get ahold of anyone. So I left and sent the remaining balance by Etransfer. The stay itself was good, except for the large downpour which led to a number of things getting wet. But luckily the sun came out after, otherwise I might have slept in my car. I do love the fact that this place exists and that it is rustic and it is Indigenous owned and managed. I would stay again. Hoping that the kinks are worked out.

We were looking for a last minute spot to camp on May Long weekend, and emailed Onespot Crossing. they had sites available. Show up Friday and have to wait to get checked in; no problem Kelly was nice; but didn’t know anything about the campground. Once headed in the roads went from kinda bad to absolutely horrible, even in our small suv it was challenging. There is no signage; no real direction, even some of the roads were questionable. We ended up camping on the tenting side as we didn’t want to keep trying rough roads and couldn’t get a hold of anyone to say any different. The views are beautiful and the site was decent; but the lack of signage and information mixed with the horrible roads would keep me from coming back.

Today my family and I came to check out this campground. We herd about it a couple years ago when they first started out. We finally made it out today. We called ahead of time and were told they offer a day use area for $5/person. When arriving We weren't sure where to go or what road to follow. There is a sign with a phone number to call....They told us to follow the road.... we followed a dirt road to the end and back, and didn't come across any parking or any area that looked like a day use area . It was a little bit confusing.. We decided to just pull off and park to walk to the river . We found a nice little spot to spend an hour . When leaving we called again to see how to pay. Someone met us on the road to accept payment . The sites are very spacious. There is a lot of horses, and deer. They also have glamping alongside the river that looks really nice. We met the lady who runs it , she was very nice and helpful. She let us check out one of her glamping sites ! Not sure if we will come back to camp but it was worth checking out .
