Clean bathrooms, wifi in campground office, kitchen, and washer and dryer available. Full services on site. Great view. Part of former US military base on WW2. We would certainly stay there again. Some small repairs were needed, no doubt it's been a busy summer and will happen in the fall.

This campground was also very nice and clean. Staff was very welcoming and nice. It was very close to the Maritime Ferry port Newfoundland to Nova Scotia. We were able to see the ferry arriving from our site. Facilities were included Kitchen with all kitchen wares, stove, oven, microwave, coffee makers, fridge, Washroom, shower, laundry room. Just like a home. We would love to visit again.

Nice park, full service available, only a total of 40 sites. The main building has washrooms, hot showers and laundry available. I didn’t give a 5th star because the sites are entirely open….no tree protection from the wind! The WiFi is good! And it’s only 5 minutes from the ferry terminal! Dan is the man you’ll be dealing with the most and he is very friendly and helpful!
