The place is amazing, unfortunately it’s too close to the highway and you can hear it all day and night long

Family friendly RV parks with both seasonal and site rentals. One of the few RV parks that permit tents and RV on same site. Rentals sites are all pull thru with electric, water and sewer. A few tents sites available as well. Trails to explore, fishing, swimming, play ground, Frisbee golf, central comfort station and even a secluded dog beach. Staff are friendly and kind. Only issue if you are noise sensitive is the close proximity to the 401. Which can also be a blessing if you need to take a quick trip to Cambridge to get extra supplies.

We stayed 2 nights because OBA tournament was close by. It was 15-20 mins to ball park. Laura was great we ended up winning and needed an extra night. She was understanding and welcoming. The swim pond was fun for the kids, washrooms clean and shower clean. Allowed us to take bins of wood and pay on the way out. Highly recommend this spot for teams playing summer sports in the area.

The grounds are well-kept and beautifully landscaped. The pond looks inviting and everyone was friendly and helpful. We were on an overnight site (30) which had electric, water and sewers. It is a pull-through. The sites at this end of the park are very close to the 401 and the traffic noise is constant, and when trucks brake with their engines the noise is considerable. Also, when we emptied our black water tank, the site next to us flooded because the sewage holding tank was full. They offered to pump it there and then, but campers were trying to enjoy a leisurely breakfast and we didn't want to stink them out. So we left with a partially filled black water tank.
