Charleston Lake Ontario Provincial Park, yurt 315C

Charleston Lake park features small compound of yurts tucked in the corner. The yurts are staying separate from the rest of the campsites which allows the inhabitants some extra privacy. The yurts are also set slightly apart from each other.

The view at the yurt 315C as it looks from the public access road. It has been pushed into the woods with the path leading to the door.

Same view with the photo taken a little bit closer. One can see accessible ramp leading to the deck.

The site features a fire pit within safe distance from the structure. One can set a fire within comfortable proximity to the sleeping quarters.

Each yurt has a wooden deck with the standard size picnic table easily suitable for four.

Next to the picnic table one may find the barbecue underneath a shelter. Entire deck as you can see is accessible, as also is a mini-ramp over the threshold on the way inside the yurt.

Looking back over to the rest of the yurt compound. We did not have a peek into this one, but it must look like another one in the same compound, the 315A.

The body of water adjacent to the park is sliced by the long stretches of the forested extensions of Canadian Shield. Canoeing or kayaking along the bays and water passages is quite pleasant. And the scenery is breathtaking. The photo above was taken during one foggy fall morning.
