About Our Turtle Shells

Our Turtle Shell units allow you to have a unique camping experience in the heart of Wasagaming Campground. Each Turtle Shell unit offers an off-grid package that includes solar panels and a battery bank for the power source to utilize interior lighting while maintaining the luxuries of charging your electronics.

The name Turtle Village is derived from the inspiration of a TURTLE as it’s home. These Turtle Shell units are weatherproof indestructible accommodations that have zero impact to the ground while allowing you to have the comforts of home. It is just big enough for you and keeps you safe from the harsh elements of the 4-season weather as well as safe and secure from wildlife.

We love our outdoor environment and know that our earth needs us to do our part by consuming less energy and reducing our environmental impact. Our way to do that is to be mindful by building with longer-lasting materials that require less maintenance and repairs for the long term as well as drastically reducing our building material waste related to the exterior shell like our pre-engineered metal panel system for exterior walls, roof, and floor. The Turtle Shell units are slightly elevated from the ground as well as 100% self-contained related to electrical and heating.

We welcome you to our way of life. Minobimaadiziwin (The Good Life)
