Just got back from Quebec and Stayed 4 nights at this KOA the week before they closed in October. Had the best spot that overlooked the lake and view of the mountains, leaves were in full colour. It was very quiet and pretty much had the whole campground to ourselves. The owner Martin was great to deal with as soon as we pulled in. It was a great way to spend our 35 wedding anniversary. Thanks for the great experience!

It is a really nice spot definitely off the beaten path right beside the lake. Lots of good camping spots and cabins available. There's a really cool trampoline park and pool for kids plus there is beach volleyball and a lot of other activities it's really cool. It is a bit of a drive to get in but it's totally worth it if you want to get away from city busy life. We drove an extra half hour out of the way just to come here instead of staying on the highway somewhere. Will definitely use this spot again when we're traveling.

The resort / rv area was lovely. I booked the lakeside tent area… definitely my bad as I didn’t see it said the closest washrooms were 900’ away… Let’s be honest if I had noticed that….I definitely would have thought twice as it’s a long walk. I understand it a no water access site, however wouldn’t hurt to look into an out house. Just saying. Otherwise staff were friendly and the rest of the facilities were top great.

Amazing place for RVs and trailers. Family friendly, calm, clean and well organized and maintained. nice, helpful and patient staff, nice facilities and many choices for activities. More pricey than most campsites but depending on what you want, can be worth it. We got the premium spot with a gorgeous view of the lake, a swing, gazebo and porch! (114$ before tax) Our only regret was that we couldn’t stay any longer.
