I recently stayed at Riverland and had a wonderful experience. The seasonal guests were very polite and welcoming. The park is set on a beautiful section of the Madawaska River with many fishing opportunities and a private beach that is clean and well maintained. Directly across the road there's easy access to a plethora of ATV trails. The new owners were friendly, polite and eager to answer any questions we had. They made our stay a very joyful experience. I will be returning in the future.

Riverland Lodge & Camp in Madawaska, Ontario, is a quiet, rustic destination for those who enjoy nature and outdoor activities. Guests generally find it relaxing and appreciate the natural beauty of the surrounding area. It offers a variety of accommodations, from basic campsites to housekeeping cabins. Reviews highlight that the lodge is great for those seeking a peaceful getaway, but some note that the facilities may be a bit basic compared to other resorts. The camp's location near the river is perfect for fishing and outdoor activities, though some visitors have mentioned that upkeep could be improved, especially for certain cabins or amenities. While the reviews are generally positive, the rustic charm may not appeal to those seeking more modern comforts or extensive services. It's well-suited for nature lovers looking for an affordable, down-to-earth experience.
