We rented one of the new "lean-to" cabins and was pleasantly surprised by how large and clean they are. Campsites are well-spaced and the reception is very nice and helpful. There are some great views along the river as well. A few words of caution (not criticism in any way): you can't bring your own firewood, one of the largest trails currently can't be hiked all the way through because of a landslide, and the mosquitos are very agressive. Nonetheless we still had a great time!

Great parc for camping. Not too crowded, campgrounds are large and far apart enough that you pretty much feel on your own, unlike some campgrounds where everyone is stacked. There is a small sandy beach, you can swim in the river (which was low when we were there, but it can be fierce in the spring, swim at your own risk). There is no running water. They sell bottled water, wood and ice at the entrance to the park. The 'main' campground is about 1km away through a trail along the river, where you have access to more activities, and a park for kids.

Well groomed trails from family ride to "let's send it" thrills. There is a nice beach, the staff is friendly. Go early in the morning to have the trails all to yourselves
