• The campground is huge. • My site was fairly level. • Showers are pay, $2.00 for 6 minutes, but worth every penny. • A little more signage would be better, easy to get confused. • I had an issue with the power pedestal, 2 employees came over and we tried several things, all indications was something wrong with my RV. I suggested we try another site, one of the employees went and got a 30 AMP extension cord and we ran power from the next site, it worked perfectly. • Even though their circuit tester, my surge protector and power cable indicated the pedestal was working, it apparently was not. They were a great assistance and I appreciate them for helping prove my RV was not the issue. • Over all it was a great campground and I would stay again.

We had the worst night here (Sept 2/25). Noisy and partying neighbors from 4-10 pm, and a dusty and dirty camp site. We put in a complaint via email about our neighbors who were 5’ from our sleeping quarters but were scolded by the woman in the office that we did not use the number provided, so it was our fault. We went to change sites or ask for a credit for the 2nd night but was reprimanded from the office staff. We will never come back and should have listened to others who said not to go there in the first place. Disappointing and rude customer service.

Tent sites were only separate by a small log, so someone else has a tent 2 feet from yours, and very uneven ground. But most of the staff were wonderful. Good clubhouse and a fun little mini putt. The river is close by as well, but very steep to get to, so not for everyone. There is a pool, check hours of it daily. Very clean washrooms.

Our usual summer stay at Country Maples was, as always, fantastic! The customer service was amazing, and the grounds and facilities were extremely clean (the renovated bathroom was a great touch!). With tons of activities for the kids – pool, crafts, movie night, mini golf, and so many playgrounds – plus reasonably priced campsites, we'll definitely keep coming back. Thanks, Country Maples!
