This is a great place! Quiet and friendly people. The pool, though older, is clean and great to spend time in during the heat wave.
Stuart Cox
We have been coming here for 6 years. Large sites, good pool. Close to Rockland that has all the services you could need. Ottawa just a short hop up the road. The park is quiet and has water, sewer and power, what more do you need. Staff maintains the park and are willing to assist you.

Quiet neighbours, clean sites, great laundry facility. Majority of campers are seasonal but there are still a lot of spaces available.
