It's a quiet campground. There are restaurants, a small grocery store and gas station close by. The pool is always clean and well maintained. Basketball hoops, best for tennis/ badminton and pickleball. Excellent views. WiFi has become better for reception.

The staff was very helpful and nice. We stayed one night, 3 adults and a toddler. Big lawns, well kept, very quiet. The pool seems nice although we didnt go in. We especially liked the restrooms and showers. They were clean, new, spacious and equiped. A good experience.

This place is situated in a quiet community. It's beautifully manicured, well looked after and not too big. All sites have a grassy area. The pool area has plenty of lounge chairs. The washrooms are super nice with a few historical pieces. Hosts are very friendly and helpful. The office sells a few amenities, ice and fire wood, and ice cream 😃, as well, has a common area upstairs if needed. I rec... This place is situated in a quiet community.

Bad experience, I do not recommend it. The manager came to our space at every moment, we felt like we were in a prison with many rules. He charged us 90 dollars extra because a group of people we know put up an extra tent and they did not want to pay him. He charged it to our group just because we knew those people. It is illogical because each person has to take responsibility for their actions,... Bad experience, I do not recommend it.

I went twice but I will not return again.
