Beautiful place, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Wonder host that owns the place took care of everything!
Nik
3.5/5. stayed 2 nights, friday-sunday, end of July. owner was super pleasant, helpful and personable. other campers all very welcoming. pool was cold but clean. updating and improvements could be made to the play area and mini golf course. bathrooms were not the cleanest and needed care, along with the “store.” river was super low and stagnant in most areas, so i wouldn’t recommend tube float this year but would definately be nice/scenic if there would have been more of a current. was nice to have options to rent different tubes. small selection of life jackets to borrow. the site itself was a open field, had a fire pit and picnic table. campground hosts activities and events very pet friendly 🐶 water and electric hook up were no problem. definately recommend for a family getaway 👍🏽

This place is a gem I tell you! the experience of camping here was wonderful. While the trailer we rented was nothing special it had heat and ac and the bed was comfy. The pool was right next to us so the kids had a great time there. The tire part of the playground was a hit! So was the mini golf. They had an amazing race activity that weekend that looked like sooooo much fun. River float wasn't the greatest since the water was so low but they had tubes, kayaks and paddle boards to rent (huge plus). Also to rent is a golf cart which the kids loved. The owner was super helpful! And everyone at the camp was friendly and kind. Would definitely visit again.

Nice campground that's far enough from the highway making it a quiet place to stay ($21 a night tenting). Only downside is that the showers are coin operated, which means that if you don't carry change and have an early start like us, you'll have to go without. Overall a well kept site with really friendly staff. Would stay again if in the area!

Easy to access but the only challenge is from Yellowhead hiway you’ll go to the dirt road (unpaved) but none the less it’s a nice place to camp in. The kids really enjoyed their stay there.
