I absolutely LOVED this campsite! We stayed for a week and didn't want to go home. Odeh was soooo helpful, especially when our campstove kaputtzed! If we can, we will definitely be back! The location is prime, it's nice and quiet, the sites are as private as you can get for a public campground, and the washrooms and laundry were great! This is great for those who genuinely like CAMPING! 🏕

Lovely camp ground, lovely owner. Everything was very nicely kept; the bathrooms were very clean with hot water and a large sink space for doing dishes. Nice little playgrounds and the sweetest dog!

What a great place to stay! Odeh is a kick. He is laid back and wonderful to talk to. He runs a wonderful park and it is very well kept, kinda rustic style and that's ok, we kinda like it this way. The sites are pretty secluded and can be a bit tight, if you have a big rig. Our 41 footer made it ok, but is a bit on the tight side getting in. Just take your time and all is fine.

We had an amazing experience at Tranquility! We were coming from another campground on the Island to continue our vacation in Cavendish, and the early check-in time of noon at Tranquility worked out so well for us. We walked down to the National Park from the campground, had a campfire each night, felt close to all the amenities, and loved the quieter vibe than other spots we’ve stayed in Cavendish. We will be back!!!
