We love this campground on the shores of Lake Huron. Great family fun campground for all ages. Walking paths, beach access, walking distance to town center.
Amanda Rouse
This park is absolutely amazing. We stopped in on a whim looking for a site that day and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We had a beautiful site with full hook-ups and a nice view of the amazing beach across the road. There is a neat little trail you can walk to get to Tim Hortons and a short walk to town that had almost everything you needed. I would highly recommend this place
T&D Currie
A very nice clean park just off the highway. Bathrooms were clean and the grounds were well kept. Close to the sand beach across the road. Our site #65 was large and fully serviced. If you purchase firewood at the gatehouse it is delivered to your site.

I highly recommend this campground. It’s right next to the town’s school, with huge open fields and a beautiful lake on one side. I was thrilled to see they have a newly renovated, five-star bathroom! LOL
Jenifer Beers
Very convenient location directly across from a beautiful west facing beach. It's a mix of seasonal and transient sites. We were on site 64 with full hook ups. We had a nice view of the lake. Only downside was that the sites are very close together.
