Excellent friendly service, excellent views of the ocean, excellent services ...I really needed a good pit stop to clean, relax and get cleaned up for the rest of my journey back west, this place and the owner gave me everything I needed. Lovely views! Clean campground and facilities. If I come this way again I shall stay here!

We stayed at the mini house with our dog, the space was comfortable to fit 3 adults and was equipped with everything needed. The rooms were clean, well maintained, no bad odors, warm water, good water pressure, large window overlooking the sea. The view was beautiful, 2 firepits (on beach + adjacent to minihouse) and private area. Campground has a playground for children that is well maintained, dogs allowed on leash and were not a disturbance during our stay. The beach is rocky, so no bathing, but great to admire the view. The only reason why its not a 5 star is because you cannot receive wifi signal in the mini house since its far from the main router. This was mentionned and the campground is going to be working on that. They offer a comprehensive documentary about the towns history in the context of WWII, and are developing interesting activities, such as driving in the bay to see the remains of a shipwreck and more. Acces to gas station, grocery, saq, restaurants and parcs/promenade. Very humble town with kind locals.

Had a great stay for 1 night at this campground and would highly recommend! The owner was very friendly and helpful even returning in the evening for us to buy more campfire wood! Views are amazing from most sites. The rental trailers are beautiful and there are a couple cabins as rentals also. You won't be disappointed if you plan a stop here🙂

This is a beautifully laid out Campground with campsites on a terraced area as well as others in a pine forest. There are two easy access paths to the rocky beaches where spectacular striped and multilayered stones are found in abundance. The Campground is clean, quiet and well maintained and the staff are friendly and helpful.
