⚠️ Be Aware! We booked 6 campsites over the phone for a family reunion, paid a deposit, and traveled from Hamilton, Oshawa, and Pickering. Upon arrival, we were suddenly told: • No BBQ allowed • No electricity • City ban in place When we asked how we were supposed to cook the $400 worth of meat we brought, the response was, “Not my problem.” At the very least, they should have sent an email or called to inform us of these restrictions before we arrived. This would have saved us hours of travel and disappointment. The owner, an older woman, showed zero professionalism or empathy—even after seeing our reunion ruined. She refunded our deposit, but as we left, she yelled, “Get off my property and don’t ever come back!” in front of our group, including 12 children under 15. We immediately left and drove 3.5 hours back to KOA Niagara Falls, where the staff were welcoming and the experience was amazing. Save yourself the stress—look elsewhere.

We have stayed here occasionally for the last 3 years. Extremely well-kept. Nice, well stocked store. Clean laundry room and showers. Lovely pool. Ant beat it for the price!!

We visited family whom were staying at the park. It is a great spot. Very friendly and helpful owners and staff, with well manicured grounds, a large and clean pool and a stream for the kiddos to play in.

I called to inquire about parking an rv for sometime. She out right refuses to allow any motor home more then 10 years old on the property. Even a newly renovated motorhome. Ridiculous if you ask me.

Nice camp ground, overall a ni e experience would be 5 stars but there is a suprise charge for kids 16 and over, not communicated till time of check in. Not full disclosure also extra charges if park owner visits your site more than once. Sites are on the smaller size but if you are with a group of trailers then you are close to your friends.
