Lot #34. Fairly close to the neighbors but a good size. With a 19-foot trailer, we had room for our screened-in shelter. Close to the beach. Very friendly owner. Beautiful sunset. **Free shower** The only downside was the train...
Michel Blondin
Campsite with all the services. Snack bar, souvenir shop, public showers and toilets, picnic tables, fire pits at all sites with the possibility of buying wood if you don't want to bring any. The owners are very involved. We had a problem with a clogged toilet in our rented trailer and it was the owner who got us out of this very bad situation. It saved our stay. Bravo and see you soon.

Very nice campsite, well located right next to the beach. The grounds are clean and each site has a nice fire pit, which is very appreciated. On the other hand, the sites are quite small and close together - you feel a bit roped in, especially when the campsite is full. One thing to consider (even if it's not directly related to the campsite): the wind can get extremely strong, especially on the lakeside sites, which can make your stay less pleasant. Keep this in mind if you choose a site with a water view!

Très belle vue, baignade agréable, beau couché de soleil et proche de plusieurs activités dans un rayon de 15-20 minutes. Par contre, points négatifs...nous sommes restés 2 nuits et c'est très bruyants. Les saisonniers sont chez eux et ne se gênent pas pour parler fort et il y a eu 3 trains par nuit qui sont passés en sifflant. Petit conseil, attachez votre tente, il a vente très fort notre 2e nuit.
