We stayed here for 2 nights with our family of 3 kids, 7 and under and 1 dog. The overnight sites are huge and the beach and swim pond is super close. The mini putt, dog park, playgrounds, pool and sports are all within walking distance. This is a small but IMMACULATE park. We were amazed at how clean the facilities all were. Dogs are allowed to hang out at the beach by the pond, but not swim. This worked for us. We got to enjoy quiet camping with our kids and it was relaxing. This is not a party park or a park with water slides or crazy amounts of crowds. You can walk to the store after dinner and grab an ice cream, or enjoy food at the food truck. A beautiful little park

A beautiful family campground off the beaten path near the hamlet of Chesley. A mix of seasonal and transient sights, we stayed in a transient sight near the washroom. Flat grassy sight with cedar trees on the sides to provide privacy. Full hookups, good water. Easy walk to the clean well maintained washroom. Nice friendly staff, great security. Easy check in, good roads. Seasonal sights are a mix of RV's and Park Models. Nice dog park, access to a river, rental kayaks and canoes available. Looks like fishing possible in season. A great place to stop over, or a summer destination campground. Loved it.

Perfect park. 2nd year in a row we've been here and will continue to come back. Choice of sunny/shadey full service spots. Clean clean clean. Dog park, mini putt, multiple playsets, basketball, horseshoes, canoeing, private lake with blow up slides n stuff.. amazing place. I highly recommend!

Excellent family atmosphere. If you are looking for a camp ground to take the whole family, this is the place. Right on the north saugeen river, a large pond with inflatables a pool and walking trails.
