Miller's Family Camp. They have 2 and 3 bedroom cottages with a full kitchen (no microwave though). The washrooms are only two pieces with showers in another building. The two bedroom ones are $180 per night. It is just across from this part of the trail. Lori Clancy stayed there before and thought that it was a good place to stay. There is a restaurant a short walk from there so we can have supper at the restaurant.
