Things are changing this' year for David
MacKenzie of Goderich. For l; years, he
and wile Grace have maintained the
MacKenzie Trailer Camp near Kintail, bit
this Y.ear, the blisthess has been leased to
Gary LaVoie who, along with Nancy
Lockhart, Win Manage the 180-aite cam -
David MacKenzie's claim to that land at
Wanted dates to 1842, when his ancestors
came tothe new worldfrom Scotland.
Mr. MacKenzie said his grandfather
arrived at Cape Breton island in 1911, and in
the spring of'42, sailed on to Leamington.
But when word spread'of the availaNe land
on Lake Huron, the family decided to go to
Kilda
"They came here (Kintail) because it was
north of the Huron Tract and Tiger Dunlop's
and Galt's territory," MacKenzie said.
"Back -in the aM cwalry, thosetwo-was a --
little shifty, sone, family wanted nothing to
do with them. We bought the deed to our
land &needy from the Crown (government)
and the ffrst deed was drawn up on a sheep
Mr. MacKenzie's ancestors were among
the first settlers in Kintail, fishing and
fanning to survive and living in "nothing
more than a hole in the ground" covered
with a makeshift roof and walls.
At the time al -their arrival, there were
only four other residents between Milton
and Goderich: families named Hawkins,
Dean, McGregor and MacRae. According to
Mr. MacKenzie, the Marlins built the firit
housenKintailifl1l&
By the time David MacKenzie was born,
Kintall had the potential to become a busy
little town. Within its bounds were two
hotels, a saw rolil, grist mill, a butcher shop
• Hemlock trees in the Kintail area were
useful for their bark which, when tanned,
• could be shipped out by boat from a dock at
wrier's edge.
After 1931 when his father died, David
MacKenzie carried on farming, and in 1939
he moved to Toronto with his new wife to
work as a steam engineer.
Later he came back to nm his uncle's
general store in Kb' tail, until he eventually
took over the business. An extremely en-
terprising mania he managed a service
station in Kincardine, had a feed business in
London for 20 years, worked at farm
drainage and °meddle general store before
he began thetraller camp in the late sixties.
About 12 years ago, the MacKenzies built
a cottage on the faintly land at Kintail. And
• one night, two yotmg men arrived at his
property looking for a place to set up
camper trailers for a few days. David and
-Grace-saw wile cra haletinig-them-stay on
•
their land, and when the men left at the end
of a 10 -day stay, they paid the MacKenzies
$7lifor theirtrouble_
But the landowners thought it no trouble
at all ald deeMed an organized trailer camp
could be a lucrative business indeed.
Now, more than a decade later, the trailer
camp can handle seasonal or overnight
visitors with tempera coming and going as
they please. The campground is open from
May to September and each of the many lots
available is fully serviced with hydro, water
and sewage facilities.
• The new managers, Gary and Nancy, look
forward to a busy season. And for anyone
thinking of visiting that area, the new
managers of the trailer camp, the
MacKenzies and Kintail itself offer an ex-
perience as refreshing as any you'll find
aliingthe bit/ashore.
