This campground is amazing. My favourite place to go camping. Very nice views off the beach and great clean pool for families to enjoy.

The owner is very nice and helpful, the view plus the location of the beach is definitely better than the other campgrounds nearby. We are considering being seasonal campers here after one night tenting. Everything was great!

pool was disgusting literally brownish/green not blue, they told us it was safe but it literally gave me lice. play ground looks like a rusting deathtrap, the rooms are old and not well cleaned and maintained. basically a biohazard id recommend going to the site literally like 10 minutes down the road

Immaculate views, tide, sunsets. The prime sites right in the water will give you that view and access that sells this campground. The owner is kind. The campground itself.. needs work - the sites you’re paying for are incredibly small and tight along the water (cannot extend awning) and not really well kept. If you go , go for the views and the water - don’t focus too much on what the campground looks like optically and you’ll have a wonderful time!

After traveling to BC and back, this was a wonderful last stop with a view that can't be matched. The seasonal people were the friendliest we met on our travels. The washrooms could use a little TLC but otherwise good. We used our own facilities so I don't know about the showers.
