Tips for Visitors

  • The campground is generally clean and safe but can get noisy during peak seasons or holidays. Consider visiting during the off-peak season for a quieter experience.
  • The RV section of the campground has limited privacy and might not be the best value compared to other provincial campgrounds.
  • Be aware of the quiet hours and potential for loud parties, particularly near the beach or group camping areas. It might be beneficial to voice any concerns to the National Park Dispatch.
  • Wildlife viewing is excellent here, with various species of butterflies, birds, and even black bunnies spotted around the campsite.
  • Caution is advised regarding blue/green algae in the water which can be harmful to pets.
