While You’re There:

Wesley Acres has many amenities that can be discovered when visiting their website. Wesley Acres is also located very close to the Sand Banks. In fact, you can rent a canoe and paddle over to some beautiful deserted sand banks (it took my family about 45 minutes to paddle over with 2 adults & 3 kids in the canoe). 

Before Leaving:

  • Close windows
  • Vacuum floors (including bedroom and closet)
  • Clean kitchen
  • Clean bathroom
  • Put furniture back in place
  • Household Garbage should be taken to the bins located just past the soccer fields on your way out
  • Report any damages / broken dishes (either leave a note behind or email Jasmine)

Optional:

  • Replenish toilet paper, Kleenex & cleaning supplies
  • Exchange propane tank

What to Bring:

Thankfully, the mobile home in which you will be staying throughout the duration of your getaway comes fully equipped for all you camping needs – dishes, fridge, stove, water, beds, microwaves, coffee makers, toasters, etc. Do make sure you bring:

  1. Food: If you are planning to eat while at the trailer, you are going to need to bring food. As well, if there is a chance you will be consuming liquids during your stay, those would also be good to bring. (Tap water is potable, but the trailer is also equipped with a water cooler.) If you run out of food, no worries. Bloomfield is a 5 minute and 36 second drive away. Also, there is a No Frills located in the beautiful town of Picton, about 12 minutes away. There is also a restaurant on the campgrounds (Smitty’s Place). PLEASE NOTE: Please refrain from cooking overly greasy foods as the smell can be hard to eliminate from the trailer.
  2. Bedding: The Manor has 1 queen, 1 double (pull out) and 4 twins which are bunk beds. There are duvets at the home trailer, the only thing that you need to bring are sheets, pillow cases and some extra blankets for pull out and twins.
  3. Toiletries: You will need to bring all your personal hygiene necessities with you.
  4. Entertainment: The Manor has a dvd player, but no television stations. Bring you own sporting goods, bikes and games.
