Clean, friendly and we loved that the sites are built for unobstructed views. 2 men in golf carts, working constantly to help customers. 5 minutes from a lovely town.

View is really beautiful and it’s wild being able to camp this close to town and also being able to see such a crazy landmark from your tent. The staff is super friendly, there’s showers and laundry but the bathrooms is kinda a far walk if your in a tent. Only thing is the sites are SUPER CLOSE together like when you get there I’d ask if there’s ones that are vacant next to you because I just slept beside a crying baby one night and then two sick people the next night with their tent literally a foot away. Also some dummy in a RV left his crazy light bar on right on the hill above our tent which was a wild move too.

Great Views! The sites are normal size but with the sites all tiered (at different levels, everyone had beautiful views of the water. Again very well maintained grounds and the washroom was very clean.

Fantastic place, great location. Clean, friendly. Smaller sites, only a few big rig friendly sites. Walking distance into Perce. Can't get a better view to wake up to. Best sunrise.
