Camping Information
In order to place a reservation for a campsite you must be a minimum 18 years of age, we require a Visa or MasterCard number and date of expiry. We will not place any charges on your card, you will pay for your site upon arrival. We cannot accept Debit Visa's or prepaid gift cards. Upon arrival, you will be asked to confirm your Visa or MasterCard as we keep it on file in the event of damages or additional service fees.
We are a family/staff operated resort who put our hearts and souls in to this beautiful retreat. We all strongly believe in personal customer service. It is always best to CALL us to confirm a camping site or cottage so that we can do our absolute best to accommodate your requests. Unfortunately, a computer is NOT very good at conveying your thoughts and feelings however a quick call can make the process easy. Feel free to email us by clicking on the "Reservations" tab however since we are family run, please be patient for a response.
Camping check-in is 1:00pm or later and check-out is 11:00am. Late check-out fees may be applied to the credit card on file if this should occur. Upon arrival, if you are not satisfied with your campsite, feel free to see us in the store for a list of other available sites. It is very rare that we will move your reservation to a different site however if an issue arises, this may occur. Please contact us if you will be arriving after 8:00pm in order to make arrangements for late arrival. We will not give your site away until the following day however you are responsible for payment for the nights you have reserved. No refunds are given due to inclement weather or for issues beyond our control.
Please be advised we require a minimum 3 weeks notice for cancellations or changes. If the minimum is not met, you will be charged for your one or two night stay. If your reservation is originally for longer than one night, you will be charged $100.00 per week and/or partial week reserved. Taxes applicable and fees applied to your credit card per campsite. (Ex. 10 nights cancelled = $200.00 + tax cancellation fee). Upon arrival, you are responsible for payment in full regarding the nights you have reserved.
If you do not arrive for your site on your date scheduled for arrival and you have not called us at 705-859-3550 to update us, we will assume that you have chosen to cancel your reservation without notice.
Keep in mind that all of our electric camping sites offer 30 amp electricity & water. Generators are NOT permitted. Since these outlets are larger than regular electrical plugs and similar in size to a dryer or stove plug , we offer a converter plug program. For $20.00 CASH we will lend you a converter plug. Once the plug is returned we will return your $20.00 CASH. If you do not have cash, we will sell you a converter electrical plug + tax.
Please be advised all weekends are a minimum 2-night stay however the July, August & September long weekends require a minimum 3-night stay.
CAMPING
Manitoulin Resort offers spacious grassy sites most of which include 30-amp electricity and water however we do offer non-serviced tenting sites for those who like to rough it. Each site consists of a fire pit, picnic table and nearby clean, modern washrooms with free hot showers and flush toilets. Please keep in mind it is very seldom we switch a camping site location however if required, we will do so in order to accommodate all clientele to the best of our ability. We also offer laundry facilities, campfire wood delivery and a free dump station for clientele to use after a minimum 1-night stay. Upon check-in feel free to ask about our pump out service offered twice a week on select days for a small fee. Purchase slushies, penny candy, ice cream, snacks, supplies, fishing gear, select grocery products or ice in our variety store.
Pets are permitted but must be leashed when off your campsite. They may prefer a walk in our additional 49 acre forest or enjoy a swim at the public boat launch located next to the resort. Excessive barking, stoop/scoop policy is in effect. Maximum 2 pets per site.
Manitoulin Resort’s water is Ministry approved and therefore safe to drink, shower and cook with. We follow and abide by the Ministry’s requirements. We maintain two top quality water systems which are equipped with dual filtration, ultraviolet and chlorination units to keep you safe.
