Very friendly and easy check-in. Everything clean and well maintained. Was just passing thru on cross country trek last minute decision and they were very friendly and accommodating when we realized our truck was gonna be to big and cause issues in the tenting only area. We didn't wanna do that so we figured we would just ask for a refund and carry on and they asked if we want to leave and of course we didn't so they said since it was later in the evening and only one night they gave us a bigger spot so we would could park the truck out of the way. The showers and bathrooms were immaculate. Would highly recommend especially if you have children saw lots of activities for children.

Very nice campground. It's huge sites are close together. Sites close to water are sloped. Nice showers, very quite. Wifi is weak where we were. Cell phone 1 bar We would definitely stay again. Take the time to walk down to the water edge beautiful

This is an amazing campground! Joseph and staff have gone beyond our expectations. Our stay here was not planned, happened by accident. Our large motorhome broke down on the highway and the CAA representative who assisted us on the highway, knew we couldn't travel far with the motorhome the way it was, so he recommended this campground. The fact that this campground has everything one could ask for, swimming pool, tons of games, a canteen and outdoor activities for both children and adults, has made our stay that much more enjoyable. Thank you Joseph and all staff for turning our unfortunate circumstance into an enjoyable extended holiday, we will never forget your hospitality and kindness! Karen & Greg Kelly (Ottawa)

Totally relaxed after spending 4 days here with family. I will definitely return! Beautiful view of the river even though we did not have a campsite on the edge of the water. All we had to do was reposition our chairs a little closer to the edge of our land like many other visitors did, and voila, a breathtaking view. Staff was polite and friendly. Cleaning crew came often to clean the facilities, which included showers, flushing toilets and a sink area for washing dishes. Staff drove by to make sure all was good and also had fire wood in pickup for sale. Pool and play area was fun for the kids. Camp site was clean and had picnic table and fire pit. We rented a spot with two services which were water and electricity.
