If you are a cyclist, this campground is for you. It is incredibly cheap (15 dollars per night), impeccably clean and has lots of useful amenities. I especially appreciated the bear proof food locker, a gazebo, a sink and a bunch of electrical outlets right in the area for cyclists. I didn't have time to use the swimming pool but it looked cool. The lady at the reception was super nice and gave me lots of helpful advice about the cycling routes in the area. Overall, one of the best campgrounds I stayed at during my cross Canada bike trip.

Booked last minute on a road trip through BC with my son and ended up being our favourite campground. Pool was great to have and my son especially loved it. The men’s showers could definitely use an update as we lost a few loonies in the one stall and the working one wasn’t great either. Nice and spacious sites, super friendly staff. The playground could be bigger as there was a ton of kids there. Honestly great place and we will be back.

We only stayed here for one night but we will definitely be back. Friendly hosts that take pride in their campground. Showers and bathrooms were clean, lots of activities to do for kids and adults. We will definitely be back soon.

Spent the winter months and had a great experience. They kept the driveway plowed so we could come and go. As well as get to the garbage dumpster. The hosts/owners were great and very helpful. If we need to we will definitely be back next winter!!

Was very well kept, checking In was easy. Firewood reasonably priced for a bundle that lasted me one night. Convenient 30amp service and water that I didn't use. Showers and washroom were clean and worked well. Only downside is that it was a bit chilly getting in/out of the shower. Owners were present and doing yard work- very friendly and went out of his way to help me resolve a flat tire issue! Would highly recommend. Update: I ended up spending a week there and not long after I had posted, they had placed a space heater in the washrooms! That was quick! Byron and Lisa, Lucille and Vince are all great!
