Camped here a couple of nights to visit with my sister who is a seasonal camper there. Our site (no.99) was easy to get into and was JUST long enough for the RV (38 feet). The beach is nice, and echoing others that warned about the current, don't get caught not paying attention, it is a "river". The sites are well kept, saw someone cleaning up some discarded paper on the site behind us as we were getting set up. We did have quite a bit of rain while we were there and they were lakes on many of the streets. The laundry facilities are nice, expensive, $6/load (to wash & dry). The park does "nickel & dime" their customers, there is a cost for everything and visitors are $12/per person/day! Sites are pretty snug back to back, sufficient spaces on the sides. The night before we were leaving, there was a thunderstorm and we lost power at about 10 o'clock and when we left the next day at about 11:30, the power still wasn't back yet.

The camping in itself is clean. Staff are nice. Obey the speed limit. There is a lazy river so bring your tube. Playground for kids. The only reason i didnt give it a 5 is i found the lots very small. A pleasant place.

We have stayed here 3 times. It has a great location on the river, but the pool was never open when we were here, and our car (Tesla), and trailer (Hymer) scrapes on most of the speed bumps. The check-in process also takes a long time.

We rented a ready to camper. It was like new. It was a slow weekend and we couldn't have open fires but it was nice. It was quiet. We were with 3 other couples with kids and one who was also renting. Close to the nice big park. Was a pool but not open yet. And a short walk to the river with a very big sandy beach. Had a dépanneur and a fast food style restaurant. I highly recommend. I want to go again next year

We just spent a wonderful week at the campsite! Pros: The sandy beach (we were next to the smaller, back beach) is very pleasant and with few people (expept for Saturday). Perfect for floating down the lazy river, paddle boarding and canoeing. BE CAREFUL with the current! It is fast! In some places the depth drops very quickly! The washrooms and facilities were clean and well maintained. Shower: 1$ for 5 min. CONS: This is a huge campground and the sites are very clustered and packed together! Ony the few waterfront sites have a bit of privacy, and sites E7 and E8 in the back are very private and large. But overall it has a great atmosphere and we plan to come back!
