This place is supposed to be 4 stars but is more like 2 stars. Toilets constantly plugged, filthy, moldy. Can only have a total of 4 people put camp fire Most lots 35' wide and your looking at your neighbors trailor as scenery Still no pool as of today even though we paid for a place with a pool and they advertise a pool Golf carts running around cruising the campground constantly and it's like being in a city Store is only open on weekends, same with restaraunt

(P.S. Emilie Thibodeau est la fille de la propriétaire. Quel manque de transparence. ) I don’t recommend this camping at all. 0/10 During my visit to a dear friend who is not there anymore thankfully, there were a life threatening incident in the woods, a young man and his girlfriend got lost in the wood during the night, got hurt… instead of calling the emergency services, they woke us up in the middle of the night and ask for assistance, put my friend’s life in danger. It was raining sooo heavily, they got stuck in the wood and it was very dangerous to everyone. There were no emergency plan and i did not feel safe staying there another night, a kid maybe 7-8 years old was driving the cart and could have been hurt. UNSAFE and the visit was enough to never ever return there anymore. You are replying to people they did not visit, but you do not even register the visitors properly and don’t offer the safety required… i actually just payed at the entrance and told you who i was visiting, did not even registered my car. anyone could go there, visit a friend and you don’t even know what is going on because you did not even cared to ask. You guys keep denying the problems, all the clients are wrong, and the comments are all fake bad reviews… Good luck anyone who go there, everything is unsafe there. Be safe and don’t expect anything from them.

Worst camping I have ever been too, when we got there had to wait 10 mins in the rain just to get in an I had a reservation the water slide was closed an was never opened during my 3 night stay and the lake was disgusting the water park was closed I had to ask for it to be open an the staff member was mad an told me it was closed but after many demands was finally opened but with alot of attitude. Very dirty bathrooms had to ask them to be cleaned , garbage was never emptied once in 3 days the flies were insane staff basically ignored us wood was unavailable when we asked because the staff had no time to prepare it if I could give it a -10 I would does not even deserve 1 star all of can say is very dirty an easy of time don't go there only attraction it's close to park safari
