Respect
Among a litany of other subjects, respect remains a consistent topic and is the general theme in our campgrounds. As life-long residents of the community, we always have and always will continue to show respect to our clients, the environment, and to the community in which we live, work and play. We strive to provide our campers with enjoyable camping experiences while respecting our land, our lease land, our neighbours, and their property. We expect nothing more and nothing less from our clients and their visitors.
Donations and Other Community Investments
Non-profit groups play a vital role in building healthy communities by providing critical amenities and services. For a small and remote community, Wandering River has an impressive and dedicated non-profit and volunteer base – a base of which, we are happy to support through monetary, in-kind donations, and volunteer time.
Since 2017, we have been co-hosting our annual 'Campground Cup' golf tournament with Darrin and Lisa Penney from Better Den Ome Campground. The tournament is held at the beautiful Riverbank Golf and RV Park here in Wandering River and to date (2017-2023) we have been able to donate an incredible $45,592 to various clubs and groups in our community on behalf of our generous participants, sponsors, and donors!
Family-Friendly Campground Events and Incentives
As sponsors, hosts, and organizers of several campground events and incentives, we are happy to ‘give back’ to the clients who have supported us over the years.
Economic Impact
The nature of our business makes for an ideal co-existence with a number of other local businesses and contractors in the community and our commitment to ‘hire local’ when possible means they can look forward to our support for many years to come.
Thank you!
Opening two locations just one year apart whilst working full-time jobs and raising our young sons would have been an impossible feat had it not been for the support of William & Drew, several community members, and local contractors.
Our manager, Jamie Melanson has been camping at Round Lake Campground since opening for business in May of 2010. Having rarely missed a weekend of camping, he quickly and naturally assumed the role of ‘weekend manager’. Jamie has since retired, has taken on the new role of ‘full time’ manager and can be found at the campground every single day during camping season. Jamie’s love for camping, his friendly nature and dedication makes him an ideal fit and a huge asset to our business.
Last but certainly not least, a heart-felt thank you to the hundreds of wonderful clients that we met since opening for business in 2009. Some have moved on but so many of you still camp or ‘glamp’ with us to this day. Thank you for taking a chance on us and for choosing Round Lake Campground and Highway 63 RV Park as your recreation paradise! We are forever grateful for your support.
We will never forget the kindness, generosity, and support that we received over the years and we are forever grateful to all of you.
