It never snows in Canada in September!
But the new venue has lots of indoor space for presentations AND for sleeping, just in case...

Sleep inside? That's just crazy talk.

Are the camp sites hammock friendly? Any good sized trees around the camp sites?

If not are the couples cabins shared with other couples? A little confused on the difference between the couples cabin and a private cabin (for my wife and I). I'm guessing the private cabins are for singles?

Thanks,
Mark

Trees and cabins
Hi Mark, thanks for the question! I've just put a map on the event page now, so you can get a better idea of the layout.

As can be seen from the picture and the map, there are lots of trees around the property.

http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/eve...013#facilities

As for the cabins, we don't have all the cabins on site, because some of them are reserved for their staff, but we have the entire camp, so we're not sharing with any other group. There are various cabin configurations.

Pricing on the event page could have been clearer, but our intention is as follows:
  • Camping is $60 per person for 3 nights.
  • Group Cabin (max. 6 per cabin, lower bunks only), $80 per person for 3 nights.
  • Couples Cabin (max. 2 per cabin), $110 per person for 3 nights.
  • Private Cabin (max. 1 person in a cabin), $130 per cabin.
So for a couple in a Couples Cabin, it will cost $220 in total for the 3 nights. We have a limited number of the couples and private cabins, thus the pricing is higher and we already have a number of these booked out.

Hope that helps. See you there!

P.S. Camp Manitou has recently updated their website, you can see examples of some of the cabins here.

Cheers,
Susan

We're flying over to New York at the end of the month (for a month) for a family wedding, and are planning on hiring a car and driving to Canada to visit a few relatives up there. We thought it would be good to head up to Parry Sound and check out this little shindig, but as we won't have any camping equipment with us we would need to take a cabin. Are there any couples cabins still available?

Cheers

Ian

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
