Great getaway place with plenty to explore around. Neat and clean rooms with amazing views. The only downside is no TV at this place. If you are taking kids with you, please pack your tablets.

Very quiet, friendly, nicely laid out, clean and maintained. Lovely views of waterway between Quadra and Campbell River. They have 50 amp electrical, so bring an adapter if your RV is 30 amp. The camp host lent us one, much appreciated.

I stayed at this dump in August 2023 and couldn’t get away fast enough. Upon (pre booked) checkin my room had clearly not been cleaned (unmade bed, beer cans, etc.) and the woman at reception said the hotel was full and suggested that I call around to find another hotel (she did not offer to call herself, and it’s already 6pm on a small island in peak season). With no success and nowhere else to stay, she finally agreed to clean the room so I could check in around 9pm. It was fine, clean enough but clearly hadn’t been updated in 30-40 years. I tried the sauna, it barely worked and was full of mildew. Food looked pretty sinister. Location and trails were gorgeous 10/10 on that, but I still checked out early after just the one night. Apparently they are selling the resort so hopefully the new owners do something with the amazing location.

Really enjoyed our stay at the resort which was welcoming and a fun place to be for a couple of days. The free archery and other amenities were a nice added touch. Rooms were older but very clean and the views are fabulous. I must say the restaurant left a lot to be desired and was a big disappointment. We sat for almost an hour waiting for our food to arrive with little to no attention from the server, and when it finally did both dishes were incredibly bland and the portions very small for the prices charged. I’d go as far as to say this was probably the blandest dinner I’ve ever eaten and that’s saying quite a lot. Great resort but very disappointing restaurant experience.

My husband I took a day to adventure around the island. We stopped at the lodge for the views and lunch. I must admit I was very surprised. The food was not only amazingly good, but also affordable. The staff are super friendly. The seafood chowder was amazing and the fish and chips was cook to perfection. Best seafood lunch along our journey. The views from the patio were breathtaking as well.
