It was great and although we didn’t have children, you could see it was a great place for families with lots to do. Our only thing was the water pressure to take a shower but it was doable. This was the 2nd time we stayed in one of the chalets.

The campsite is clean and well-maintained (pool, lake, beach, trampoline, grounds, chalet, etc.). On-site, additional fees apply to all forms of entertainment (watercraft, swimming in the pool, inflatable water slides, and mini-putt). The owner's communication is excellent. She is very courteous and friendly. The situation with the owner was different. Several warnings undermined our experience, even though none of the behaviors we were complaining about were malicious. We were spending time at the campsite, on vacation, an eight-hour drive from home, visiting family. Next year, it will happen again, and we are considering a different accommodation. The opinion expressed in these previous lines is entirely personal; it reflects our experience following our three-night stay in a rental chalet.
Patrice Poliquin
Beautiful, small, accessible campground. Several activities are available for a family stay. Access to the lake for swimming or paddleboarding. Wooded and relatively private sites.
Johanne Pellerin
Very disappointed. Out-of-date and poorly clean sanitary blocks. You have to pay a surplus everywhere $$ and the campsite is not cheap for the land, however, it is correct. When people pay for land, he should be entitled to everything. On our side, we will not be going back☹☹☹
