mattyk Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Howdy folks. Looking for any suggestions for a cottage resort that is family friendly with a nice beach and some half decent bass/pike and panfish for the kids. Looking for somewhere about 3.5 hours from Newmarket. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pidge Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 When I was a wee one Dad use to take us to Jakes Blue Roof Cotages. I havent been there in probably 4-5 years, but they had a beach, fishing, and The town of Campbellford right their. Maybe someone can confirm if the choclate factory is still there and theres also a Provincial park of some sort near by as well. We always had great service.....hmmm reminds me I should book.

wildeye rainbow Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 If you want a camp that runs a bit of a children's program (such as scavenger hunts, kids fish derby, bingo, etc), I would try Dry Pine Camp on the French River in Alban. They don't have a beach but have an inground pool. It's also fairly close to Sudbury where you can visit Science North. Some local attractions are the French River visitor centre and the French River Trading Post where you can have lunch, or buy a t-shirt, or take a picture of your kids with the Hungry Bear and/or Blueberry Hound (that was an annual thing for us with the kids who are now in their 20's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 No spam here. Matt asked for suggestions and folks are giving their opinions regardless of their affiliation to the cottage resort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerritt Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 meaning the owners of said resort... Perhaps the admin team needs to update the rules then, removing spam from them and allowing every business to post in every thread offering their services.. I fully expect when I ask truck questions about which brand I should be looking at, I can expect Chevy, Ford and Dodge dealers offering to sell me one and direct me to their website. Or when I ask about a BBQ, to have purveyors offer to sell me one here in public. The rules need to be amended if that is the case and how OFC operates now Roy.

Gerritt Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Spam will get you banned faster than anything else. Spam is any unsolicited business ad or offer. If someone happens to ask about a product or service you may offer, then you are of course free to mention it. If you come in here and spam, you will be given a pretty rude welcome by the population and it will only hurt your business! We have very reasonable ad rates and can set you up very quickly. Contact TJQ for ad rates. I dont believe Matt asked about this lodge... it was a very general question So can we have every lodge that visits here offer their service to this member? for every post a member makes looking for advice on a lodge? Or boat dealers offering to sell boats to members that ask general questions like "what size boat is right for me" I hope this is not the case.

kickingfrog Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Your own quote counters your argument. The advice was solicited, someone did ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerritt Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 a general question Rob.. could you imagine if every outfitter replied to every post a member makes asking about resorts? or every truck dealer replied to every post about trucks? Or every boat dealer offered to sell a boat to a member here? Guess I am alone in this... No commercial listings in the classifieds... but the main forum is free game.. Where do you draw the line.. I give up... not my board not my worry. Run it the way they see fit. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildeye rainbow Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 If you're referring to my post as spam, it was not intended as such. It comes from my family experience of going to the same spot for the last 18 years for a week in July with my family. I have no affiliation with the owners of the lodge, the restaurant referred to, or Science North period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokestackLightnin Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Here is a suggestion. Nice cottages, great beach for swimming and watching the sunset, ample docking and a huge floating island with trampoline and kid launcher: http://www.wrightpointresort.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whopper Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) Matt if your looking for outstanding panfish fishing for the youngsters Rice Lake is the place I'd steer ya. There's plenty of resorts to choose from. Whispering Pines outside of Keene is really nice and close to some outstanding fishing spots. They don't have a beach but do have a nice pool for the wife and the kids. There's a place right down the bank called Anglers Retreat that has a beach but it's not near as nice. Good luck in your search Edited May 1, 2013 by Whopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bone Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Another good one that we've been to a few times is Pine Vista Resort on Stoney Lake outside of Lakefield, Ontario. Great kids programs (give the parents a break) and 'grown-up' programs if you want to take advantage of them. Nice in-ground pool and awesome beach area.

gburdzin Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I've been going to Cozy Camp on Lake Nosbonsing for around 15+ years now, so I can give it a +1 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Caster Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 A little further north at Beaverland Camp in Marten River? Lots of good reviews and the owners seem like upstanding folks. http://www.beaverland.on.ca/site/index.php?page=activities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
