About This Campsite
Bingemans Camping Resort
Bingemans Camping Resort offers campers a range of experiences amidst beautiful surroundings. The campground features a variety of sites, including locations by the river, and amenities such as a pool and a mini putt course.
Key Points:
- Location: The campground boasts scenic views, with some sites located right on the river. However, these riverfront sites can be a bit tight.
- Amenities: The resort provides essential amenities including availability of ice and wood. The pool and mini putt course are popular among visitors.
- Sites & Facilities: While many find the sites spacious and beautiful, others have pointed out the need for maintenance, especially concerning the washrooms and outhouses. Some campers noted that the bathrooms often fall into disrepair.
- Access & Navigation: The check-in process can be slow, particularly during peak times. There is only one entry point which can lead to long waits. Returning to the campsite often requires waiting behind new arrivals.
Tips for Campers:
- Be prepared for potential delays during check-in and when re-entering the site.
- Consider using your own restroom facilities if possible, as public washrooms might not be in the best condition.
- Plan for outdoor activities, but be aware that some attractions are located outside the campground, requiring exit and re-entry.
- Bring extra essentials such as toilet paper and cleaning supplies to mitigate any unforeseen shortages.
Overall Thoughts
Bingemans Camping Resort is a mixed bag. It offers great potential for a delightful outdoor experience with its range of amenities and scenic sites, especially along the river. However, logistical issues and upkeep of facilities can impact the overall enjoyment. For those who come prepared and with managed expectations, it can still be a worthy destination.

Check - In location itself is okay but it's not set up properly. After you've checked in, you get a gate pass. However there's no special lane for you to get in when other campers are checking in. You have to wait FOREVER if there's trailers waiting in front of you. It's only a single lane. So on Friday night it took 20 mins to get back to our site because other campers checking into the campground. Washrooms look very tired and are in need of a make over... We just used washroom in our trailer. Campground is beautiful and sites are good too. Ice and wood are available right at the campground entrance. Pool was perfect. Mini putt looked amazing. Went to Boston Pizza and enjoyed our Dinner. Weather was perfect too.

Terrible campground. Booking was a nightmare. So many screw ups then promised a partial refund from manager Thomas which I never received. First night here was so loud and could barely breathe with all the smoke. Bathrooms are disgusting and showers are even worse. Looks like they are barely ever cleaned. No sewer hook ups. Only one entrance to the campsite which is a long line up of people trying to register every time we leave the park and come back long wait. All the activities are outside the park so have to exit to get to them. After hours no one answers the phone . And no playground for kids. Also is it necessary to mow the lawn every damn day before 8 am? Can’t sleep. No one here included staff obey the 10km signs. They drive around here like Mario Andretti. Will never camp here again. Save your money go somewhere else.

Cabin was very clean. Location was away from the rest of the campsites. Fire pit on big incline so no real comfortable place to sit. No bathrooms nearby. Outhouse disgusting. Looks like they haven't been emptied all summer. One was locked for 1st day, other was out of toilet paper. Long inconvenient walk to bathroom with working toilets. Inconvenient entrance to park. Even if you already have checked in you have to wait in line behind people checking in to get back in with your car which took over 20 minutes. Not a horrible experience but probably wouldn't return.

Friends of ours have their camper set up here right on the river. Beautiful location, although the sites seem a little tight. All trailers and sites have to be cleared by late October because this area is on a flood plain.

We were camping for Canada Day weekend and were very disappointed for the Luxury Camping experience at a Camping Resort. Check in was painfully slow considering everyone should have been pre-booked and were only checking in. We arrived at our site to find the only division between our and the next to be 2 trees on 1 side and 1 tree on the other. Our picnic table was broken on the edges and the peeling paint was not nice to sit on. Our site had a large hole in the ground which we frequently stepped in, especially at night. We could not string tarps due to the lack of trees. The worst was the bathrooms! First night the water was scalding hot that it was not usable and the whole bathroom was steamed up by morning. I was surprised that the bathroom taps were not able to be adjusted and only stayed on for a few seconds. But with the wet weather we had, the bathroom floors quickly became mud soaked and pooled. Despite the sign stating the bathrooms were cleaned frequently with initials and times, the floors remained covered in thick layers of mud, the garbage continually was overflowing, toilet paper, paper towels and soap were in short supply. Apparently the mens was not any better. Eventually, staff arrived in the morning to clean and once confronted by many upset campers they set to work cleaning. That morning it took 2 hours to clean. How can "luxury camping" have such outdated facilities? My standards are not that high, but I was expecting access to warm water to wash my hands and face, cold water to brush my teeth, taps that stay on for enough time to ACTUALLY wash your hands. Showers available IN the CAMPGROUND (and not across the parking lot) that allow for a shower without all my clothes and towel getting wet. Provincial parks have nicer facilities for a fraction of the cost. Why are campers permitted to wash dishes at the drinking water tap? Where are staff after 11pm to enforce any rules or regulations at night? I will not be returning to camp again and will not recommend this experience to anyone.
