Wow! Hands down the best resort/park we have stayed at to date. So much to do for the kids, the water park is amazing. The store/restaurant is open long hours for your convenience. The park is great and rec hall always has activities on to keep everyone busy. The site and park were spotless and the staff were pleasant and helpful. Highly recommend this to any young family looking for a resort packed with amenities. Thank you, we will be back!

Nice place to camp with the family DURING THE WEEK!!! On the weekend, it turns into a giant party for the seasonal resort guests, and there is no security/night staff for when there are issues in the park. We had our neighbours shining flashlights at our camp all night because they saw raccoons (dude, you're in their home right now), and even after I talked to the guests they continued, no staff to help us at midnight. We were in the very back sites and could perfectly hear the multiple parties, cheering, screaming, loud drunk girls walking around the grounds on Saturday night-WHICH WAS ALL COMING FROM THE SEASONAL TRAILERS BY THE POOL And a blue trailer in the 600's that partied every night with people screaming- which we could hear in the camping grounds (that's how loud). Again- there is no staff available at night time. Unless you wanna party...... then stay during the week when you can relax. The pool area is great, lifeguards on duty, but many bees on the ground so be careful- we had multiple foot stings at the pool during our stay. The water is ice cold and doesn't warm up during the day, but the slide made up for all of it. The girl working the top of the slide was fantastic with the kids and stood out among the rest- you could tell she loved to be there. They are dog friendly, they have a dog park as well (with shade and a cute little pond). We came mid-week so we were able to get a beautiful spot for tenting, but on the weekend people were camping in small areas because of the hills, not much level area to sleep. You can also choose to camp by the large dumpster in the back (they were kind enough to cover it on the weekend) We were there for Christmas in July, it was wonderful. Many sites decorated for the event, the lady beside the pool had a full interactive display and boxing ring for Santa & grinch- the kids are still talking about the match. Great work!

Highly recommend it for families with any kid's age. We didn't make it to the Maple syrup tour, so we had to opt for different things to do around the area and we found this! The scenic location, cleanliness, and water slide are really on the spot! Check this resort if you are visiting Niagara Falls! 💯🫶

A beautiful getaway in the Niagara Region surrounded by serene nature scenery and vineyards! I have gone here a few times and it’s no less than physically stunning, with a wonderful swimming area, splash pad, slide, and other attractions such as mini golf and a pond. However, while it is beautiful, the maintenance and employees are not as satisfactory. The washrooms are quite dirty and unkept and the employees are not very kind. For most of my visits, I faced rude remarks and a lack of patience from the employees. Along with that, some residents display some discriminatory behaviour. Love the scenery but overall feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. Would not recommend if you want a relaxing and welcoming getaway! Edit: (Reply to recent reply from the owner) Hi! Unfortunately, I have no idea what skateboard you are talking about … Meanwhile, concerning wristbands, I was not involved in that either. The employees could have been a little bit more polite concerning these rules!

Great camping experience for young children! We were in cabin 160 and unfortunately our fit pit did not have a grate. My husband asked staff and they said they couldn't help us. We couldn't cook the food we brought so good thing there were restaurants near by. The fridge wouldn't stay closed either so we had to put our cooler bag in front of it. Pool (and other activities) is only open from 11am-7pm which is super inconvenient when you have young children who are up and ready to go at 7am. You cant bring in your own wood but they charge 12$ a bag and you don't get much. I also can't believe they charge 5$ a person on the day of checkout. Check out is 11am and guests should have access to the pool free of charge for the day.
