Katy was an awesome host. She took the time to go over every thing about the trailer and things worked. She gave some helpful tips that even this experienced camper appreciated. The trailer was exactly as advertised and was perfect for my intended use.

Gordon T. - Oct 2025

Katy is really helpful. She even checked on us multiple times during our trip to make sure if we need anything or having any problems. For first time campers or even experienced, this is a ready to go trailer camp. Everything you need for camping is in there. Clean, functional and well cared for. Thank you Katy for the great experience and will definitely book it again next summer.

How to get to Silver Falls Provincial Park

Silver Falls Provincial Park lies 36 kilometers northwest of Thunder Bay, Ontario, approximately 45 minutes by vehicle via Highway 102 and Silver Falls Road. The final approach grades from paved highway to loose gravel; standard vehicles and small RVs can access the park, but the gravel road may present challenges during wet conditions. The nearest major airport is Thunder Bay International Airport, about an hour drive away, making it convenient for fly-and-rent travelers. No mountain passes, tunnels, or extreme weight restrictions affect the route, though the gravel final segment requires clearance verification for large RVs.
