We just spent labor day weekend here and it's just an incredible place to go camping. Waking up by the water, sitting in the sand while the tide is going out. Amazing experience.

Amazing spot! Great hosts and beautiful views! Small campground with lots of great things to do like disc golf and a brewery, amenities aren’t far in Crapaud and loved every minute of this, got to sit in the sand while the tide went out :)

We love coming to this beautiful campground, Doug and Mich are fabulous owners and go out of their way to make your visit awesome. They are only open for the summer but that works for us. Doug will even give you a clam dig lesson and your dogs are always getting treats. Hot showers, laundry, washrooms, firewood and ice to purchase, large sites with either service or not, great ocean views, can’t wait to get back next year for this absolutely quaint little spot.

I looked up this campground online, and it looked perfect for a weekend of tenting. I tried calling and an email. I wanted to go hoping. Unfortunately, when I got there, this campground is closed. Very disappointing, it looked to be a very quaint little place.

Where do I start. We stayed here from Thurs Aug 8 until Sat Aug 10 2024 We were lucky to find this beautiful spot. It's a smaller trailer park right on the ocean with power and water hook up. The owners are friendly, accommodating and honest. They went out of their way to help guests as needed. The bathroom and showers are older but adequate and expected for such a nice spot. I really couldn't get over the view, watching the ride some in and out. The owner (Doug) was happy to take myself and my family clam hunting at low tide. Being from Ontario we had no idea how, he showed all of us and had the patience to help my kids haha. Hopefully they read this, I wanted to say thanks again. For travelling families: no this isn't an amusement park, but it's an opportunity to reconnect yourself and your family to the simpler things in life, sit back and enjoy the scenery and watch your kids play in the red sand splashing about in the ocean.
