We are the home of many different kinds of fish – Whitefish, Northern Pike, Bass, Pickerel (Walleye), Sturgeon, and who knows what else might be living in our fresh waters. Grab a fishing rod, a boat and a friend and spend a relaxing day on our waters. Don’t forget to fire up the barbecue afterward for a delicious, campground cooked meal!
We had a wonderful ATV adventure weekend running the VMUT for 3 days and this spot was the perfect accommodation! Claire and Wim were the best, looked after everything and overfed us at every meal. Our Petunia cabin was basic, clean and everything we needed. The river view is beautiful and quiet(late October), the beds were comfortable and everything was clean and set up for COVID. I loved our weekend and would pick this over a Westin or Hilton anyday!

We had a lovely 4 days at the Mattawa Adventure Camp on the Ottawa River. We planned to go 4wheeling/side-by-side atv-ing on the local trails. The owners of the camp were very helpful, pleasant and accommodating. They provided us with full dinners, breakfasts and the supplies required to make our own sandwiches for our lunches! The cabins were clean and had everything we needed for our stay. I would highly recommend this adventure camp for others! Wim & Claire even had a pressure washer for our use to clean off our atv's on our return! Claire prepared our meals to perfection and Wim entertained us with his great voice for a few songs in the evenings. What a treat!

We stayed for a couple nights with 6 guys just on a sled trip. The people that own the cabins are awesome super friendly and helpful. The cabins are exactly what you need and everything is provided. Highly recommended from our group easy to get to the trails and I’m sure it’s a cool spot in the summer being right on the river! Thanks again

The camp was an end-to-end excellent experience. We were a large group (50 people) so I was expecting delays, and a range of issues. Wim and Claire (owners) think of everything and make sure every possible need is looked after. From gorgeous sunsets to watching a moose cross the river while enjoying breakfast, it was a very memorable experience.
Will be back for sure.

Ok, the wifi was a little slow, but really… this isn’t the spot to be needing it. Stunning location, fantastic hosts (Claire is wonderful), the cottage (we were in the big sunflower one) was perfectly clean, comfortable beds, well outfitted, cozy and even had TSN on satellite for the World Juniors. Highly recommend.

17 of us booked our stay with the meal option. We could not be happier about our experience. Claire made booking easy. The rooms were clean. The food was delicious! - not anything like adventure lodges' usual bland meals. Food allergies were handled effortlessly. Claire also went above and beyond and put us in contact with an ATV guide.

Second time staying at MAC with a large group (34 motorcyclists!). Wim and Claire are fantastic hosts. The food was great (we got the meal plan). Great location for hitting local trails. River view is peaceful. We all look forward to our annual stay there.

The weather was terrible but the hosts were wonderful. The food was excellent, the beds were warm and comfortable, and the showers were hot. What more do you need. Thank you Claire and Wim. It turned out to be a wonderful weekend (in spite of the September snow).

This review is a current as possible. I just returned home today from an absolutely fantastic weekend at this resort. There was a total of 7 of us and Wim and his wife Clair (inn keepers) were the most hospitable hosts I have ever met. The food was great (and I feel that this is an understatement), and the rooms were clean, warm and spacious. We were on and ATV trip 80K may not seem a lot but through the woods with all terrain makes it a full day. I would highly recommend this Camp. Myself and my 6 other friends will definitely return. This is an all season camp and although we were here in early winter I don't doubt any season will yield the same great results. P.S. You have to ask Wim (co-owner) to sing "What a Wonderful World" for you, you will have a new respect for this man !!!!!
