Livin’ the dream

Right on Shore Road near Lake Ivanhoe Campground, this little spot lives up to its name in the most low-key way possible. It’s not fancy, but that’s kind of the point — you’re steps from the lake, and honestly the water is the real draw anyway. Families staying at the campground tend to wander over, and it has that easy, unhurried feel that East Wakefield does well. Good spot to let the kids burn some energy before or after a swim.
