My wife and I took our 4 granddaughters here and rented cottage b we rented it for 3 nights and we all had such a great time the girls didn't want to leave the owners and their employee were absolutely fantastic they brought over 4 little nets for the girls to go catch frogs and they even opened the pool bit early for us to go swimming i couldn't ask for better people to be around even the regular campers in their trailers were very nice people I'd recommend this place 100% them everyone for being so welcoming

Wow...what a horrible place to stay! Staff very unconcerned and not pleasant at all. Owner was more interested in the soccer match on television! Seasonal trailers are very old and so close they appear to be on top of each other. We booked what was laughingly called a "waterfront site" which was the corner end of a small lake more accurately detailed as a swamp covered in lily pads, bulrushes and homes to frogs and mosquitos. We even had to drive through an unoccupied site to get to our site. Good thing they weren't busy and needed the site. All and all, quite the disappointment. At least we met a group of people who invited us to join them at their campfire. THAT'S what camping is supposed to be about.

We spent a long weekend here with two other families and we were all suppose to have a water view site however it was a swamp/ marsh site view. On the good side of that I did catch a great photo opportunity with the swans that seem to stay at this spot! We had rain which left us to pack up in a lot of ground water, suggest you bring your rubber boots! Not a lot to do at this camp ground but the surrounding area has some fantastic wineries! Our hydro was being used by another trailer when we arrived and the owner came and unplugged them to give us our service however this then left the next people who arrived without service. I felt very bad for them and the owners did not seem to fix the issues while we were there. We made the best of the weekend with our friends but I feel we would not go back at this time.

I just returned from a lovely four day camping trip at Barcovan campground. When checking in I was offered other sites if the one I had was too wet (lots of rain days prior). The site was perfect and it was easy to set up my trailer. The owners were very kind all weekend and checked in with me after a rain storm during my camp trip. The seasonal campers were nice and I had zero issues. I truly hated to go home at the end of my trip. Definitely will be going back!

It's a great place for the whole family to visit for a weekend, a week, or 2 week's. The park offers everything and accommodate all guests. All the people who own there sites are amazing as well. Elizabeth-Gerry & Robert welcome everyone that comes to rent or for the seasonals. Thanks for making my family welcome.
