Loved the view from our deck! Wow! Def get near the water for a great experience and go to the downtown- Zac and Mack’s for $2.50 icecream on Tuesdays then see the Ships go through the locks across the street (FREE!)

Great campground right on the St. Mary River to watch the freighters coming and going from the locks. Ample sites with plenty of space, clean facilities (good water pressure in showers), pet friendly, just minutes from downtown shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay again

We had a great stay at this campground! River front site (43). Friendly staff and fellow campers - mostly retirees. We got to see the boats go by. Older building but clean bathrooms and facilities which was a big plus. Quiet at night. If you can’t get a riverfront site, sites #71-82 are elevated and have a good view of the river also. Bring binoculars! And we found the Original Soo Locks Boat Tour to be well worth it.

We stayed 1 night before going in to Canada. Lady who checked us in was friendly and gave helpful advice about the campground. We were in site 49 waterfront. Burn pits at each site. Wood available at office 6.50. Base rate of site $50, Showers/bathrooms were clean, you need a code to get in. Laundry is nice, 3.75 for wash, same to dry. The office has a small store area with essentials. There's a game room and tables to sit and have complimentary coffee. We would stay here again. 🐾🐾Dog friendly. Rules about bikes.

Our first time at this campground and we loved it! We saw many freighters and a Canadian Snowbirds Airshow. Also, a Canadian fire-suppressing aircraft demonstrated loading and dumping water in the river. The campground used to be a KOA years ago, but is now privately owned . Showers are very clean and everyone is friendly and helpful. Lots are well-maintained and most all have some view of the water. We are planning next year's trip already.

Great location it's right on the St Mary's river. Site are a little small and could use some upgrade but the view from our camper is fantastic. No Sewer hook up but that's part of being on the river. Definitely recommend and will return for sure. Oh the employees are great.

It's all about location. Fabulous place to watch freighters pass through on their way to the Soo Locks. A few lucky people get to setup camp right on the river. Some campsites are VERY unlevel. Mostly 30-W. Some 50-W-S.

We have been staying at this campground for years and absolutely love it! It's quiet, clean and the perfect place to sit and watch the ships on the river. There is no playground equipment or pool for the kiddos and the age demographics is a bit older, so please keep this in mind. If you're looking for a campground to keep the kids entertained, this isn't the best option.

If you need a place to stay in a pinch, this place is good. If you have a clear idea as to where you’d like to reserve your spot in the campground, I highly recommend that you be as clear as possible when making a reservation over the phone. I told the woman who picked up we wanted to be on the water and be able to see all the ships that pass by. She said ok and that she’d get us the best site available. She led me to believe we would have what we asked for. She was not transparent about there being to no sites with water frontage. We had to walk from our site to go look at the freighters passing through. The terrible communication left a sour taste in my mouth, and she didn’t take accountability for misleading us. Instead she retreated to my husband that she never promised me a spot on the water. The point is, read BETWEEN the lines when reserving. The extra $5.00 to reserve over the phone was pointless, and we were just in front of a very busy highway. Bring earplugs if don’t want to be startled awake every couple of hours. Also, this is a very crowded small campground. If you want something more private, or to be surrounded by trees, this is definitely not the place for you. Sites are VERY close together. The showers are hot, and the facilities are relatively clean.
