It would be nice if they told you that you can not drink the water when you book. Also pretty tight getting a 40 foot fifth wheel parked on side with drainage ditch on front of the site.

We were on a road trip from Ontario and rented the deluxe cabins. they were perfect for our 3 families. Each cabin was angled for a view of the water. the pool, park and field gave a lot of options for the children to burn some energy. great location to the Cabot trail and the staff was amazing. this will be on my list to visit again

Just wanted to give a big shout out to the helpful staff. Beautiful site, excellent wifi and the cleanest bathrooms & laundry room I have seen in the past month of travelling across Canada. It even has a pool as a bonus. Only negative is the playground is outdated.

I would like to express my gratitude for the exceptional experience I had during my stay with you. Although I do not usually take the time to write reviews, I could not ignore the welcome and support I received from your dedicated team. Your timely intervention was crucial and allowed me to continue my trip without a hitch. I am particularly grateful for the small touches that greatly enhanced my experience; whether it was finding an essential phone number, offering a wise suggestion, going out of my way to help me, or defusing a situation that could have ruined my trip. These gestures, although simple, had a significant impact and transformed what could have been a stressful moment into a pleasant memory. Your kindness and willingness not only made a difference, they defined my stay with you as impeccable. And how can I not mention that angel at the reception, whose reassuring presence and smile were the highlight of my experience. Although I don't usually take the time to write reviews, I couldn't ignore the welcome and support I received from your dedicated team. Your timely intervention was crucial and allowed me to continue my journey without a hitch.

We are just leaving the campground today, stayed here 3 nights. We are 3 weeks into our East Coast adventure and so far, this is the best campground we've stayed at; very clean, friendly owner and staff, great laundry facility, very close to Cabot Trail and awesome restaurants, it's right on the lake... Campsites are close together but definitely big enough for a 32 foot RV, picnic table, 20 foot trailer, fire pit, with enough room left to comfortably move around. We loved it and will definitely be back.
