Equipment & Accessories

The covered open concept kitchen is open on the one side facing the main pavilion making it easy to interact with others.

You will find two stainless steel counters for food preparation and plating and a large triple sink with cold and hot water (from the lake) for washing.  We have real dishes, glasses, utensils for 25-30 people.  We have dish soap and dish clothes.

For cooking you have a propane BBQ, a propane 3-burners unit and a Heartland ‘old-fashioned’ wood stove.    You can also decide to use the fire-pit if you need to cook something over the open fire.   We have pots and pans of all sizes.  We have knives.  Propane is provided and we have a few spare tanks on site.

We do not have electricity for blenders and food processors.  Everything has to be done by hand like in the old days.

For refrigeration, we have an old ice-box from the turn of the century.  We will provide large ice cubes to keep the fridge cold.  Please note it is not a freezer so you cannot keep frozen goods.  Usually the ice-box is used for the food portion only.  There is not enough room to add the beverages so people would need to keep their beverages in separate camping type coolers (you need to supply your own).  We have a few large camping type coolers that could be available in case you need extra storage place for food.  You should ensure you have enough ice in your various coolers for the duration of your stay.

Luxury kitchen - camping style.

Condiments & Supplies

We keep a few kitchen staples on the island.  Please note that they are limited in quantity, so bring any extras you may need. For example, if you are planning to do any serious baking for a large group, you should bring your own flour. 

The kitchen is always stocked with:

  • basic spices: salt, pepper, cajun, Montreal steak, garlic powder and a few others….

  • olive and canola oil

  • balsamic vinegar

  • maple syrup

  • sugar

  • flour

  • oatmeal

  • variety of teas

  • coffee

  • hot chocolate (powder)

  • hot cider (envelopes)

  • packets of peanut butter and jams

  • popcorn

  • foil and plastic wrapping

  • garbage bags

  • napkins/paper towel, dishwashing soap & towels

Your Glamping Menu

Although we provide basic condiments and drinking water, you will have to bring and cook your own food and beverages.   Please note that people usually bring too much food.   Please plan your meals and quantities required.  Often people bring at least twice as much as they need: if you need three loaves of bread, don’t bring six!

We have three major grocery stores in New Liskeard (10 minutes from Haileybury) where you will be able to do your grocery shopping (Your Independent Grocer, Walmart, Food Basics).  There are also a few delis offering local products (Yves Prime Cut Meats & Quality Meats).  Haileybury has a few convenience stores with basic products (R.U. Hungries, One Stop For U, BNS Corner Gas). You may also find a few take-out options in Haileybury (Subway, R.U. Hungries).

ICE

We provide you with blocks of ice for the main icebox located in the kitchen.  This icebox should be able to store most of your refrigerated food (but not enough space for drinks).  Remember, the icebox is not a freezer!  You will need to bring ice for your smaller coolers and beverages.

BEVERAGES

We provide 5-gallons jugs of potable drinking water. You will need to bring the rest of your beverages, and your own coolers.  There is a kitchen icebox, but it’s too small for both food and drink. If you need additional camping coolers, let us know and we may have a few you can borrow.
