We try to take our entire family on a short vacation before the school year starts. This year we were lucky enough to book 2 cabins and tow a rented camper to accommodate all 18 of us. We never used a camper and the rental place was vague at best when showing is how to operate everything, camp manager Phil was extremely helpful, he promptly came up with cords that we thought we didn't have and showed me how to operate everything. We rented a boat and unfortunately ran out of fuel, he immediately came out with a can of fuel and a transfer hose. (We were happy to replace the fuel)...Watching the grandkids enjoy themselves on the beautiful groomed beach was absolutely priceless. Our only regret was not having more time there. We always vacation as a huge family, upwards of 20 all together. We usually get a lot of looks when we arrive. The long term campsite renters were friendly, the gentleman next door instantly said "hello neighbor " price was extremely reasonable! Phil and Tanya manage the complex in a very professional manner making our stay a memory we will never forget. If we could give more then 5 stars we would. God bless!

We rented 2 cabins and a camper spot, enough to get our large family together for our summer family vacation, the managers Phil and Tanya were very friendly and helpful. All together there were 18 of us we had a great time and the little ones had a blast on the beach. Absolutely wonderful family vacation before school starts back up.

What a wonderful hidden gem. The hosts Tanya and Phil are more than amazing amd super friendly. A perfect get away! Even the outhouses are cute and clean. The washroom facilities with showers are absolutely clean and modern, yet rustic. Nice hot water for showering. The beach is raked and nice and I love the bottom sand in the lake for swimming. No rocks, not muddy, no weeds, just nice sand. Beautiful. Lots of big trailers, 3 cabins for rent and some spots for tents! Highly recommend. Call and Chantelle will answer all your questions. Thank you Sand Bay Campground. 🤗

We had another great week at Sand Bay this year in early July. This was our 3rd visit as transient campers and we always feel like part of the park family. Phil and Tanya are very welcoming and are always checking in to make sure you are comfortable. The clean beach, clear water and sunsets make this a perfect park for relaxing.

Took the family camping here with our dog. Had an awesome time. Everything was very well taken care of, the washrooms and showers were very clean and maintained. The beach was absolutely great, nothing but sand and tons of minnows for the kids to catch. Would definitely recommended staying here, they also have great looking cottages if you don’t have a tent or trailer.

A wonderful family orientated campground. Very friendly place. Sweet cottage with all you need. Great fishing and swimming - the water is soft. It is north facing so there is a cool breeze. Nice setting along cliffs so it is sheltered. Quiet too. Very well maintained campground. Barry's Bay is nice, check out Grumbling Granny's for well priced gifts. The rose quartz quarry is just amazing and the Beryl mine is very sparkly - all near Quadeville. Crooked slide Park too for some logging history.

Stayed in the 3 bedroom cottage. 3 kids 2 adults…had the basics would recommend an additional fan to create cross breeze as well to speed up drying towels. Laundry amenities were not available during covid. Not a far drive to town for shopping or hiking trails for the family. The beach is the vote worthy feature. So clear, clean and calm…enjoyable for any age regardless of swim capabilities. Respectful dock users, can bring tubes, noodles ( highly recommend from relaxation) sunsets were beautiful. Great place for peace and resetting from the city.

Nothing but good things to say about Sand Bay Family Campground. This is a nice quiet park with good friendly people, a beautiful sandy beach the kids love, and some of the nicest sunsets around. The park managers Linda and George are some of the nicest, hardest working people you'll meet. Tons of great memories made here already.

Chantyle was quick to respond to my initial inquiry and got our booking completed easily. When we arrived at the campground, Linda greeted us, escorted us to our cabin, and made sure we had everything we needed. It was so nice to have some supplies stocked in the cupboard that a guest may have forgotten like tinfoil. The kitchen was stocked with the comforts of home of a toaster, coffee maker, kettle as well as a variety of sizes of pots and pans to cook any meal. The cabin was rustic and cozy with a fabulous gas stove. We were there in an incredibly hot weather week so the fans that were thoughtfully provided were put to good use. The property around the cabin was large enough that we could enjoy some lawn games with my family without disturbing a neighbour. The beach was fabulous!! The water was so easy to walk into and the sand was groomed often. George and Linda are great property managers that are available easily and they did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our week and would love to return!

Excellent place for the summer and early autumn days. We travelled and visited many different parks when we were buying our first trailer and this one was the best we have seen. What a great choice! We are in our 50s and 60s and have been here since the beginning of the season. Park itself is very nice, well kept, nicely decorated, clean and managed beautifully. Linda and George, park managers are super nice, always helpful and ready to help if you need anything at all. They both welcomed us with a big smile and assisted helping all the way when we were settling in. What is most important for us is the fact that there are only about 50 sites and it’s very quiet. Ideal for people who love nature and come actually to relax and rest. Recommended for older people, definitely not recommended for those who like to party and get loud. The high points: beautiful area, wonderful sand beach and nice lake.
