Pretty disappointed! Booked on-line, as I was informed this is the only way to book a site. Got to site, no water. Apparently the lines are still frozen and water is not accessible at this time, which also means the facility showers and washrooms are also not accessible! Would have been nice to know, unfortunately this information is no where to be found on the website and we only found out when we called the after hours line and spoke to the maintenance worker. Which also means we had already paid for our 2 night stay and unable to get a refund. Tried to plug into the 110v outlet, GFI was broken, couldn't plug in. So here we are, paid for a FULL SERVICE site, with only sewar. Thankfully my husband brought a 400ft extension cord and we plugged into the site next to us. Booking on-line is quick and easy, but ZERO information about amenities available/not available currently. Being that I am from Dauphin, we could have, and should have parked at a friends house with our motor home for $0. Very disappointed for our first trip this year. Follow up - I contacted the office to discuss my concerns and spoke with Lindsey Kyle, who was very understanding and apologetic to our recent booking and stay. She stated that normally the park is fully open and ready by May Long wknd, which was our stay wknd, however and for unknown reasons, this year was an exception. We were provided with a discount on our 2 night stay. I was very pleased with the gracious attitude and understanding of the staff.

Beautiful park with large trees and many walking paths. On the smaller side, so not too crowded. Very close by to downtown.
