Vermilion Bay Dining Options

Since the Village Corner burned last fall, and with no plan to rebuild in the near future, dining options have become even more limited in Vermilion Bay for those guests who are looking to grab a quick breakfast or lunch/dinner on their way up or on the way home. Busters Barbeque (just west of theContinue Reading

(Almost) mid-August update

Yea, I know what you mean. REALLY mid-August already???? Hard to believe another summer has flown by, isn’t it? It’s been so dry here, some of the trees are changing and dropping their leaves already, which really makes it feel like fall in that sense. The daytime temps in the upper 70’s though continue toContinue Reading

Michiana Walleye Association Scholarship Fund

In case you missed it on our Facebook page, we donate a FREE trip for two to camp every season ( a $1,400.00 value) to the MWA, andContinue Reading

Still May in Ontario

Although a lot of the midwest (including back home in Indiana) is experiencing weather much more like July with temperatures in the 90’s, I can assure you this week it still feels like May here in Ontario. Lot’s of rain, stronger winds, and today a few snow flakes mixed in for good measure have soContinue Reading

Bear Claw Camp a.k.a Bushwood Country Club

Well it’s that time of year again, Vinnie and the boys from Appleton are at Bear Claw Camp along with a full complement of other guests, and it’s time for the annual long drive competition and closest to the pin contest. Big hitters and hacks alike will take their turn(s) for this year’s bragging rightsContinue Reading

Catching up…..in camp

Well so much for being more diligent in getting the Blog done, eh? Lot’s of shady excuses to offer though….camp is busy, the girls arrived for their 5 week summer visit etc. The best one however, and it’s really not even an excuse, is that our internet (via satellite) has been experiencing some “issues” andContinue Reading

Summer is heating up….

Although the title refers somewhat to the weather, as it does continue to be a little on the warm side here, it mostly refers to the fishing. The walleye have been biting at an absolutely torrid pace this week and the same can pretty much be said for the northern too, including at least twoContinue Reading

Transition time

In many regards it is just that. On a personal level, the transition relates to the recent return of the girls to the U.S. after a wonderful five week stay in camp. Lot’s of memories and good times with their camp friends again this year. Certainly sad to see them go, but I know theyContinue Reading

Peffley's Wilderness Camp is a family owned and operated camp. Dave has been fishing Wabaskang Lake for over 25 years and was previously a guest of this camp for 12 years prior to purchasing the camp in 2005. I am a proud supporter of our military and offer a nice discount during the month of July to our guests who have also served. I have three daughters ranging in ages from 16-21 who spend much of their summer with us in camp and have totally embraced the wilderness experience we offer. They have for years referred to it as the "best summer experience ever".

While rarely necessary on our lake, because I do have a very good working knowledge on how and where to fish on Wabaskang Lake and our portage waters, I will guide groups if asked to. Otherwise, I am always happy to share information with our guests and provide them well marked lake maps so they can start catching fish their first day in camp.

I pride myself on running a very clean and well managed camp with your satisfaction our top priority. Many guests who have fished from this camp for over 20 years, and several more that have fished here for over 30 years and even some over 40 years.
