We drove by because of a yard sale sign we saw. However, every person we met was so kind and inviting. The grounds were great, everyone had a smile and a wave. I would go back just to visit the people!!

For the last 3 years my fiance and I have camped here with her family. The first 2 times were great. This year not so much. We arrived on August 15th (Friday). On Saturday my soon to be father in law and I were on the camp site while the ladies were in Rodney. Phil the person who runs the trailer park came up in his golf cart and demands we pay another $300+ because we have extra tents on the site and they weren't allowed he also said that it was because we were using electricity and water (showers). Phil has no clue about guest relations and should not be running the trailer park. He has no clue what he is doing. My fiance and her step mom went to the municipal office to lodge a complaint. Hopefully Phil will be gone soon.

Not a thing to do at this park unless you are a drinker lmao. Right at lake Erie but you have to climb several flights of stairs, which in my case was almost impossible because of a broken leg. Also we didn't meet any friendly people here. No one talks to you if you aren't a "local". Our first experience meeting someone, our dogs jumped out of the motorhome but just waited by the door. I called them in and a neighbor started screaming at us about letting our dogs off leash. Meanwhile his buddy had his dog off leash this whole time. Anyway he yelled at us for a good 10 minutes. Right then I think we would have left. Not really a great experience at this place

Love having this little slice of heaven in our backyard!! Food is great - people are great and the view is spectacular. You won’t be disappointed at the selection of food and desserts. Two thumbs up 👍 👍

Really cute trailer park with gorgeous view and a quiet, clean, secluded beachfront (requires a short, steep downhill hike). Karen (I'm assuming that's her name based on other reviews) is super friendly and helpful. She's got her hands full looking after everything and making sure everyone has what they need (possibly that's why someone misunderstood her as rude in prior review). Actually, everyone at the trailer park was kind. It appears to be mostly retirees and was peacefully quiet by 8pm. There's a large treed space for cyclists, and I get the impression Karen will make sure there's room for whomever shows. Fyi. Don't try cycling on Gray Rd. As busy as hwy 3 is, it beats manually hauling your bike up and down the very hilly and loosely gravelled Gray Rd.
