We’ve accomplished quite a bit this week!

Most of the dirt piles between Cottage 1 and the office are now gone, and we’ve moved on to the other end of the cottage area — between Cottage 12 and Cottage 10.

There’s still plenty of work happening behind the scenes, but it’s nice to see things starting to take shape!

How to Start a Successful Campfire

Is this your first time camping or cottaging? Do you want to roast some marshmallows but aren’t sure how to get your campfire started? Don’t worry—it’s easier than you think!

Step 1: Dry Firewood

You need dry firewood to build your fire. We sell firewood at our camp convenience store/office, and you can also find local firewood at several nearby locations.

Please do not bring firewood from outside the Bruce Peninsula. This helps prevent invasive insects and diseases from spreading to our local forests.

Step 2: Kindling

Small dry twigs, newspaper or fire starters work great for getting your fire going.

Step 3: Matches or a Lighter

You’ll need something to light your fire.

Matches or a lighter will both work well. Make sure to keep the matches dry!

Step 4: Build Your Fire

Place your kindling in the center of the fire pit. Then, arrange a few smaller pieces of firewood around it in a teepee shape.

Leave some space between the pieces so the fire can get plenty of oxygen.

Step 5: Start the Fire!

Light the kindling underneath the wood. You can gently blow on the fire to help it catch.

Once the smaller pieces are burning well, slowly add a few larger pieces of firewood.

💧 Remember Fire Safety
Keep your fire small and under control.
Never leave a campfire unattended.
When you are finished, put the fire out completely with water. Stir the ashes and add more water until everything is cool.
Never burn garbage, food, plastic, or cigarette butts.

And finally…

Don’t Forget the Marshmallows!

We sell all the works to make the perfect S'mores here at our office, along with fire starters, firelighters, and roasting sticks.

Enjoy your campfire and happy camping!
