We stayed here while we were closing on our home in Osgoode No complaints. Folks were friendly. Nice facility. Just sorry we were too busy to enjoy all there was to offer. Just suggest they would make it easier for friends to visit without charging them money and making them park outside the gate.

My wife and myself stayed at park as a stop over on our trip and found a real hidden gem . From the welcome to the departure people we met there were awesome and helpful in all aspects. Overnite camp sites are well set up with amenities every camper will appreciate. The cleanliness of the grounds and facilities was excellent offering a comfortable environment and good place to camp. The extras the park offers is good for all ages . The website is well organized as is the operators of the park . This park is one I would surely recommend and stay at again .

Great campground, there were alot of activities to participate in, the pool area is nice and we were pleased there was an adult only swim time! The site was just as described, alot of room, washrooms were conveniently located, and the owners were so friendly. Will definitely be back! Only feedback I would give is to update the store with some products, the website states there are essentials provided but there was just firewood, ice, and a few unlabeled ice cream desserts in a freezer; a cold drink would have gone a long way while we were there.

Our first time staying at this campground was in 2023, we thought it was a great park and enjoyed our stay. This year, 2025 we were there in May for a weekend, we didn’t find the lots to be as well kept as we did two years ago, but we were will to give it another chance, so we made another reservation, but then our truck ended up in the shop and we didn’t have anything else to pull our fifth wheel so we had to cancel, we gave a weeks notice and we refused a refund, even a partial refund, not very good PR on the owners part

We had a great experience tent camping here for 4 nights. Lots of space for the kids to play, a salt water pool, and clean facilities. The showers are a loonie and you get more than enough time for a nice shower. Purchased wood was always delivered directly to our campsite, and our daughter even got to enjoy a golf cart ride one evening, which she was thrilled about. The woman’s bathroom near the tent camping area was out of toilet paper for 2 days so it wouldn’t hurt to pack some just in case. Overall, we had a great time and look forward to going back again in the future!
