Stayed here in September on the way to the east coast and on the way home. Full service drive through site, very affordable, minutes of the 20. Also had a great walk to the harbor to stretch the legs after hours of driving.

Was welcomed by a very rude and unfriendly young woman. We had an Ontario licence plate and we were not popular to say the least. She had already charged our CC to our total surprise and could not provide a receipt when asked for one. She knew we had a very long trailer and had assigned a tent site!! We respectfully requested a trailer site and she said there were none available. We took a walk of the grounds and found one. We went back to the office and the young woman was not impressed with our finding and insistance to give it to us. Very dishonest and rude. Most vacationers had Quebec plates and people would stare at us because of our plates. It is a very separatist part of Quebec and they don't like Ontario residents. Would not go back there ever again.

NOT FOR TENT CAMPING! Nice and cheap place in the area but if you plan to camp in a tent.... There is zero privacy. Basically no trees between lots. There's nothing bad about this place but it's not ideal for tents. Very nice amenities though. Great bathrooms and showers.

I would not recommend this Rv park. We were basically parked in a tree and I could not open the door without hitting it. The pool closed at 6 pm and did not open until 10 am. The spot was very small.

Lovely campground with wonderful staff and good amenities. I wish we could've stayed more than one night! The lady in the office was so friendly, and I appreciated her conversing with me in French, so I could practice! Yes, the sites are narrow, but it was a peaceful stay and our neighbours were pleasant. So many cute dogs to meet strolling by!
