Games Nova
Out on the water

Small camps, kept intimate

A handful of campsites, one approach to hospitality, and a way of caring for wild places we've held to for over a decade.

How it started

It began with a single canoe

Games Nova started with a borrowed patch of shoreline, one camping tent, and a stack of trail maps nobody had finished exploring yet.

The campsites are more comfortable now and we own the land outright, but every site is still set up by hand, by people who know what they've built.

We keep groups small on purpose. It keeps the experience real and the wild places quiet.

If a campsite wouldn't feel like home to us, we don't open it to guests at all.

Outdoor gear

Tents, packs and fire rings

We source from outfitters we've hiked with, in quantities we can repair and maintain properly.

Worn equipment gets refurbished for smaller adventurers, and every campfire setup is built on-site from materials chosen for that specific location.
