Booked in March for my stay in July. Gave them my trailer size. Arrived and checked in and went to my site. No way in heck could I fit on the site. The water post was right by the entrance and as I was reversing I hit the post and broke my bumper. Broke the water line as well. Gave me another site, started reversing in and the neighbour site person came over and said that was his former site and it is next to impossible to get it. They had no other sites available. Sat in a Timmie’s parking lot looking for a place. It was already after 5. I found one spot in Pembroke. The repair on my truck I’m sure will be in the thousands…people were nice there but don’t know the size of their sites. Very disappointing.

This is a nice campground conveniently location in Petawawa on the Military base property. The campsites are very spacious with a nice fire pit. There is a nice playground for children and the beach is in walking distance. You can rent paddle boards and kayaks there. A bag of wood is $13. I am surprised that there is only 1 fully serviced bathroom on the entire campground. It has only 2 shower stalls and 3 toilets for men and women each. There are many port a potty’s location through the campground which is nice if you only just need the toilet. With only 1 washroom on the entire campground, I am surprised it is not better kept up. We were there 2 nights and the paper towel roll was never refilled and floor did not look swept as the same items were on the floor the next day. There are also quite a few pot holes that could use filling to avoid vehicle damage ( even going the slow speed limit, these holes are quite large and sometimes unavoidable) We enjoyed our time on the dog friendly beach but found many inconsiderate people with dogs off leash. This is no fault of the campground but just wish it was better enforced. Overall this was a nice campground and the minor flaws are very minor. Not enough to keep us from coming back. This was a great campground and we will visit again!

It’s a hidden gem! The water is very clean, the place is not very crowded, and you can have access to public washrooms and playgrounds for kids. Love my visit this weekend while water was warm and the sky was blue! Definitely will visit this beach again next summer! Parking is free and if you want to go to beach, no admission or entry is required!!!

Power outlets n/s. If you like the drone of competing generators this place is for you. Hand drawn site map doesn’t indicate a black/grey water dump area (and I couldn’t find it). LOTS of garbage everywhere (incl beach).

Great spot with nice beaches. Fantastic staff. A bit hard to find as Google maps messed up, but it is worth it. I did not have full hook up and the water was a long reach, but the wonderful staff lent me a hose.

We love BBCG, we've been coming here for 5 yrs now. The staff is great, friendly and always willing to help. We feel welcome whenever we come, love the beach! Just a note, there's not as many amenities as other campgrounds, but the setting is great. There's a bath house - free hot showers, laundry, ice, wood, park for the kids, and did I mention the great beach!
