Everyone was so friendly, campground was very clean and beautiful view of the bay. Owners were so helpful and friendly felt more like friends. Everyone was respectful even though it was mainly French they knew we understood very little so the always let us know what was being said in English

Would give 0 stars but that isn’t an option. My husband’s paid $1200 for the month as he is staying here for work. He was told family would be welcomed to stay as the site is paid for TWO adults and children under 18. Come to find out they are now trying to charge him $300 extra because he has had “visitors” for 8 days. I do not recommend. Very disappointed with the professionalism of the owners. Will not be back again.

Great place to camp if you're in New Brunswick. Friendly owners and every camper is easy to talk to and open to conversations.

Can’t say too much — it was just okay. Everyone’s experience will be different, so if you're curious, you're welcome to come and see for yourself. It might be a new kind of camping experience for you. Prepare yourself for short 🚿 shower, 😆

Very nice host. Camp site on the ocean is very close to each other. Friendly campers on either side. They go crazy over sea glass here. Hydro and water at site no septic. Loved hearing the waves crash on shore all night. If your close to this campground definitely stay down by the ocean if you can get a spot. Wifi excellent
