Will come back here in a heart beat. Small campgound with only about 30 sites. Very well maintained provincial campground. The park rangers were often patrolling but they didn't bother us. Flush toilets and dish washing sinks were in tip top shape all the time. No showers though which was why it cost less than other campsites that has showers. There was some privacy between sites. Some had more privacy than others. There were shades too. Walking trails and river nearby. Quiet hours were respected.

Had a 2 night stay here. The flushing toilet are nice as they didn't get as smelly as pit toilets. There are no showers in the location and depending on your site you may get the occassional road noise. Overall a decent and clean site
Jim Mailloux
Very beautiful park and clean sites. The bathrooms are new and very clean but my only wish is that they had paid showers on site. Anthony and Laura are the friendliest camp hosts I have ever had the pleasure of meeting! They spent the time to get to know me and even deliver firewood right to your site. Wood costs $10 but is enough for a long night.

Very clean and quiet. It has flush toilets and while we were there, they were cleaned daily. You also have a sink to wash dishes. You have good tree coverage on most spots as well. The best thing was a small pool next to the river made by stone walls. Perfect for sitting and enjoying the sound of the river.

Very clean, quiet camp site, polite staff. one side has the river. NO shower facilities. Some sites have lots of trees providing shade, a few don't so you're exposed to the hot sun. The staff is on top of the Covid plan. They clean the bathrooms every few hours. Location is very central. No electrical outlets either. The staff also cleans up the site and grooms and rakes it when the guest leaves. The John Bell Park nearby has a public waterpark, there are outdoor play showers there or you can refresh yourself in the lake. Do an incognito rinse.. wink wink. ghetto I know.. but a few days without showering will tempt you.
