Went early June and had an amazing time there. The staff were nice and helpful, everything was clean, hot and clean showers, lots of free activities/games, nice beach (though it was too cold to swim). Highly recommend!

It has all services at the campsite. We were the only campers in our pod. Wish the beach were closer and a few of the park signs in English.

Beautiful place for big family and friends. Chalet has electric heater, but still feeling cold in a windy day as there is no heater in each room. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Has an issue with electronic, called and fixed immediately. Colour changed by different weather in one day. It’s amazing.

Nice place for camping if you want to do a road trip around the Saint Jean Lake. Ideal place to stay because it's 15 min of everything's that you'll need for whatever you plan for. The campground was super clean and easy to access.

This park could be a Gem, Beach is amazing and the location is great. Have a few pet peeves on this Park Lac-Kenogami. No security at night and no check in pass 11pm, so therefore if you have kids and try to sleep, well good luck. You will have folks joining 6-7 cars on one lot to party all night long until 3AM. NO ONE to walk or make rounds to make sure that their laws are enforced (quiet hours pass 11. Two nights in a row parents had to yell to tell them to shut up and keep it quiet so their kids could sleep. One more note, whoever decided to design a campground with only 3 bathrooms stalls is insane. Had to drive to the beach to use the bathroom. Also the showers are horrible, you mind as well take it in the lake. It is very unfortunate, as i said. It could be a great park, but it’s missing the most critical key points to keep a campground sain. I will not recommend this Park (Campground) besides it’s beach. Hope this review will help some of you that have kids or infants, cause you will have a hard time keeping them to sleep.
