Clean and organized camp ground with a private staircase down to a great beach. You can walk in the water and see crabs and other sea life. Beautiful views too !

Best campground in QB to date. The thought and care put into this campground is evident. Whoever manages this campground does a superior job. Tiny details, organized, clean. Nevermind the location! Which is outstanding. The sites along the water are definitely a highlight but the shared area allows for all campers to take in the views. #39 allowed for a peek-a-boo ocean view and privacy. I wish I could have stayed much longer. Merci Merci!!

Great location, we had a spot right on the cliff, got to see the sun rise right over the water. There’s also stairs down to the sea like mentioned in other reviews. This is one of the cleanest campsites I’ve seen so far, the staff really take care of it! The 2 younger men that were working reception August 6-10 were super friendly and knowledgeable. Especially the gentleman working August 6. He gave us a lot of tips and directions for places to see, kudos to him!

Campsite was right on the cliffs edge overlooking the sea. There is a trail with steps that go directly down to the rocky beach. There is paid laundry and showers, and bathrooms. All nice and clean with warm, potable water. Close to the road, so expect some minor road noise, but plenty of trees and the sound of the waves drowns it out well. Would stay again!

Great dog-friendly campsite with good facilities. Definitely would camp there again. Really liked the trail to the sea and the waterfall.
