Beware of the owner. Ask around in the local community and you will learn that the owners are a couple. The wife is a sweet woman and tries to hold the place together but the husband is a temperamental angry man. He was yelling at us when we were having a family bbq, something about an unpaid bill. When we went to the office, his wife was apologetic. A problem with other campers. We have family on Ile Lameque and they all said the old man was a real nutbar. Also, when we were there, the pool was closed. And mosquitoes are everywhere because of the many ponds. Too bad, it could be a great place. :-(

Level concrete pads, close proxity to clamming, right on the water.

One of the prettiest locations we have stayed. Long unobstructed views across the bay. Miscou Island, Lameque Island, and the Acadian Peninsula can easily be explored from here. If you are in the area the Village Historique Acadien is a must visit. The bay attracts many wind and kite surfers. The campground is full service (20/30/50 amp, water, and sewer. Most sites are cement which is very nice. Paved roads. Big rig friendly may be an overstatement, but can easily handle rigs up 40 feet. Reservations recommended it is a popular campground with many people returning year after year. The staff is very friendly and helpful. WiFi available and worked well. I could not get a satellite to lock with Dish. I don't believe many Americans make it up here. The predominant language in the area is French. The Acadian's are proud French Canadian's. Come prepared with Google Translate - we visited restaurants that did not have English menus. Don't be hesitant about visiting, everyone was very nice and helpful. A great immersive experience.

I think it is the most well maintained and clean camp side I ever visited with It has a wonderful view of the bay and lovely walks on the beach. Only small down point is the internet is through satellite and very intermittent but overall a 5 plus!

Most beautiful campground on the sea. Lots of clamming to be done at low tide. All facilities are A+ clean and brand new. Your host is tge friendliest and most accommodating person I have ever met. She bakes her own goods- fresh bread, bakes beans, spaghetti sauce and her specialty clam pie. There are cement pads for your trailers or rigs and nice tent sites with every site looking over at the sea with spectacular sunsets. There is a playpark for tge kids and a paying pool (did not inquire into the cost). It is dog friendly, but must be leashed. You cannot bring your own wood, but wood is 6$ and you have a good amount plus kindling. We have returned twice now and will continue to return over again.
