Polite Staff. Seasonal occupants were fun to alk to and helpful as well. The new trail is amazing for puppies. Site was good sized for our 44ft fifth wheel. No issues with utilities. Great jumping point to go hike in Terra Nova National Park and other activities in Bonavista. They could use a dog park.. but the walking was sufficient.
