Well run campsite close to highway 1. Roads are a little narrow. Sani dump onsite. They open early in the season, and close early. So call them for the dates.

Surprisingly expensive for any overnight considerations. Toilets are decorated in early concentration camp format. Water unclearly labeled unpotable. Considering the fee I would expect showers included in the rate, but, NO!!! $2 for 6 mins in a dim, dingy environment. The beach.... you'll laugh, aside a scummy pond. The friendly staff does not compensate for the state of this park. Overall, while it's Its an easy off for one night, I still recommend moving past this stop.

Cute campground. Friendly staff. Good for overnight stay or in overflow for family reunions. There is a stage for festivals? No hiking trails and the pond isn't swimmable.

There is something nostalgic about this campground. The staff is friendly, helpful, and fantastic to work with. I have been to music festivals held there, the camping is awesome, lots of shade if you look for it. Great place

I was at this place with my wife for one night. We were very disapointed $40 for site with electricity. The ground was terrible to set a tent. The whole campground too dark just a few lights around. Bathrooms to dirty, smelly stinky. Broken handles to wash your hands. Restroom with only one toilet and urinary, second person got to wait. Bathroom too small for two people and cleaned maybe once a day. There is a sign "please turn off the light before you leave" looks like they are very cheap to save money on electricity. They do not care for the safety of campers. People spend some time to report to the office just because there is no sign for that We will not recommend to visit this place. Never Never come back

Staff very nice and helpful. Didn't visit the washrooms or showers. Beautiful waterside park and play area. No sewers at sites and only 1 plug (15 amo or 30 amp) which under normal circumstances is normal. But because we tow electric, it was either the trailer or charge the car. As we were 140 km from the next charge station the CA won the draw... sites were private enough and most were oull through. You had to drive over the water hoses as they were above ground. But that didn't upset the water supply. Overall very rustic. Dropped a star because of only one plug at the site...

We found this campsite off the highway 1 after a long hot drive. A welcoming staff welcomed us into their humble and comfortable site. Great for younger kids to cool.off in the shallow pond while grown ups relax in the shade. And a cute pooch to boot! Would recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable stop off.

I really liked it here Close to town, a small sandy beach,water to put your feet in, picnic tables and a field big enough to play football. Something for everyone.

The Saskatoon berries here are great. I highly recommend a site by a bush when they are ready to pick. Trust me. Come here for berry season! Can see the stars fairly well too

Lovely campground with friendly owners and workers. Quiet and peaceful with lush green lawns, good shade and plentiful song birds. Lots of bush bunnies, ground squirrels and chipmunks.
