The staff were very friendly, even before making the reservations, I called with questions and they were super helpful. The campsite itself was ok. We choose a spot at the very back closest to the beach, but failed to realize there was no way to exit the campsite other than the way we entered, which made for a 20 minute walk to the beach. We are given an access card for a $20 deposit (which you return at the end of your stay, and get your $20 back) - I don't know why they wouldn't install a gate at the back of their campsite where we could enter / exit with the same key card. The beach is free if your enter on foot. You do have to walk by several residential streets. Washrooms were fine. $1 per 5 min of showering. Beautiful beach though!

This is by far the worst campground ever! Everyone is packed together, you need to give 20$ for a pass to open the gate ( they give money back after your stay...they could just hold an important card and give that back )... This isn't a provincial park!!! It's called Parlee Beach provincial park yet you don't have access to the beach from the camping and then , if you want to take your car to the beach, you need to pay 20$ to pass the gate at the beach...you'd think that being on the campground would give you at least free access.... It's a good 20 minute walk from administration of the campground.....then, nowhere was it mentioned that showers cost a dollar!

Not terrible, but not great. The campsite itself was ok, and the room was not bad. Really, really hot, but the nighttime breeze helped. Very clean, thankfully. I wish there were some trees and bushes, as there is already a lack of privacy from the close-together campsites. Still good, though. Staff are nice. The issue I have is the location, mainly the beach situation. You have to drive to the beach; walking there takes 20 minutes, and is a bit close to the busy road. Also, $20 fee to drive into the beach.

We've stayed at many provincial campgrounds throughout our country and this one was by the far the worst. Sites are crammed together (think group camping with 200 people) with very little trees so you can see everyone at all times. We were site 120 and actually had bushes all around- I think we had the best site for privacy. We expected the campground to be on the beach but it was a drive away. Thankfully, we arrived after 4pm so we didn't have to pay the $20 to get in (which I would've thought would be covered by being at the campground). Showers were pay, which we didn't know about, and were ice cold. Super disappointed. Laundry worked great and the dish washing station was helpful.

Overall great experience. $20 cash for gate pass though the email and website says $10. Walk to the beach is 15-20 mins vs the 10 mins advertised. Amenities are great. Showers get very hot, the laundry facilities are better than expected. Nice sites though few trees for privacy. We enjoyed our stay.

Love the rustic shelters. We stayed here 2 summers so far, 4 nights each time. Love it! The only thing I can say is they should upgrade the showers closest to the tents. Seems to be older and I put 3 loonies in to have 15 minute hot shower and it didn't work it was freezing cold, two nights in a row. Luckily I found the showers closer to the back of the campground. Which were nicer, cleaner and your loonies worked for a hot shower. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Will be back next year 😊

My friend and I are biking across Canada and this was one of the worst campgrounds we stayed at. It was 41$ for a no service campground and the sites were small, confusing, close together and didn’t have many trees (no privacy). Also, not every site has a picnic table. The showers took loonies and only lasted 5 mins. They were also VERY cold (no hot water). The washrooms were also very dirty and didn’t have any toilet paper. It’s also a 20 minute walk to the beach on a road with no sidewalk or walking trail. The reason why I am giving it 2 stars is because the staff was very friendly and did offer us another campsite to have trees. The beach however is very beautiful and great restaurants near by.

Good comfort station. Friendly and clean. Don't cut the grass while people are at their trailers. Price is right and power provided is good.

Highly satisfied, cleanliness is top of mind and done well here. All staff are pleasant as well as ready and willing to assist you with what you need. Very close to the beach. Camping store has great prices like 1.00 individual size cereal. Overall I give 5 stars for quality services and cleanliness.

Have been to this campground multiple times over the years and have never been disappointed. Camping spaces are clean, flat and include a picnic table and fire pit. Washrooms are located in multiple easy to get to spots. Staff has always been nothing but friendly and easy to deal with and talk to. Campground is located very close to Parlee Beach and you can easily walk to it (this way your not charged a parking fee as you would if you bring a car). Campground has multiple sites for tents, trailers and even a few rustic shelters!
