Leisure lake used to be affordable and fun, however the new owners have taken the fun out of camping. The price has gone up twice in the past which makes it unaffordable. Choose another park if you want a mature atmosphere.

Talk about a well manicured park with all kinds of amenities. Three pools. Lots of activities. Lots of fantastic people. Always friendly and always willing to lend a hand. Then you have Grumpa's food truck which makes delicious food so you don't have to cook even breakfast. We've tried a bit of everything and have been more than pleased and our tummies are full with plenty of food. Happy that we got in here for the rest of the season.

It’s my first time experiencing “glamping”.I really enjoyed the amenities in this campground especially their pool. We rented the campground for 2nights and 3days. Nice shower room but I would suggest to change their shower, for me it was hassle to press the shower button again and again. It was really helpful that they have curfew that u can only make noise until 8pm, because you can really can take a rest. We will still come back here next summer

First of all, if you aren’t elderly this camp ground won’t even allow bookings. Which is ridiculous and nonsensical as when I was there for a week I saw multiple elderly people driving golf carts while drinking alcohol along with bringing it in the pools. Not once did I see a young adult do this while there. Staff after 5pm are unfriendly and aggressive for no reason. The cabin I stayed in was beautiful but there was a definitely a wasps nest in the roof on the porch and we saw them enter and exist multiple times while outside and inside the cabin. Bathrooms and showers and covered in mosquitos, spiders, grasshoppers and fish flies. I had multiple spiders fall on me during a 10min shower. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND! For how expensive it is, where is the money going? Certainly not into cleaning or bug management!

This is primarily a seasonal park, with some transient sites. Sites are VERY close to each other, and the park is crawling with golf carts the seasonal campers use. The entrance lot was always packed with cars and carts requiring some careful manoeuvring to get to the gate. Washrooms were clean and in working order, but the men’s could use a few more stalls. Showers were exceptionally modern and clean. Only complaints was the water was TOO hot, and the showers are missing normal shower heads so it’s like standing under your kitchen sink. They have three pools, one for adults only. Very clean and in excellent shape. They close at 8pm, a little early for July weather. They are not staffed so that can’t be the reason. Overall a nice property, just very congested during high season.
