Random picture from park ( only pictures i took ) We found this place 1h before while driving. Absolutely beautiful place! I wish I had a few days, right on the water!

Great place. We couldn't find anywhere to stay as we were on a long trip and needed a place to pull in with a camper. They were all booked up but still found a place for us. We pulled in after closing and the owner still came out and helped us get to a spot brought us a power adapter and came back to check on us. Very thankful for having a safe place to pull in with my family.

We can not say enough about this place. We found it by fluke because we were travelling through looking for a good place to ride our side-by-side. We travelled from Ontario without any type of real agenda. Daniel and Sean I'm only on this place for a short period of time. The properties extremely well kept, a beautiful spot right along the river. We felt extremely welcomed as soon as we entered the property. When Daniel Noticed our side-by-side, he immediately offered to take us for a tour of the local trails. We had a great time it would never have been able to see what we did without him. We travel often and we know for sure that these places just aren't the same if you don't feel welcome and wanted . That's definitely not the story here and we highly recommend anyone to visit. Thank you very much to Camping panoramic For a wonderful couple days.

Not often I give a campground 5 Stars, but this one gets it. Excellent campsite. Beautiful location. Amazing hosts. While I was there, they put up a giant, inflatable projection screen to watch the Stanley Cup Playoffs! Stay here, if your in the area.

We were there last August and stayed in one of the cabins. It was very clean and had everything you needed to be comfortable, 2 double beds, a full 3 piece bathroom, a full kitchen with a separate eating area, air conditioning, a television and a porch to sit on. We were right on the rivers edge and had fun watching the ducks. I would definitely recommend it for a peaceful night.
