I really enjoyed relaxing, the peaceful river, the hikes and our spot at 15. We met a couple of people who were friendly as well at 14 which I loved that spot right next to the river as well. Lots of birds to. The staff were friendly and park was clean and so was the washrooms and thanks I will be back again. The only thing that I would like to see that I have a young one is a infant swing or swings in general.

Great place. loved the river ride. Awesome walking trails.loved how clean the camp ground was. only issue we had was the guy cleaning the washroom while smoking a cigarettes was kinda disturbing. I had to have a shower afterwards. and the bathrooms stank like cigarettes. and he also did a horrible job cleaning. mud everywhere. I hope to return next year. Thanks the Smiths.

The absolute best place. The river is so beautiful. It is close to a busy road, but it's mostly OK. There are only flush toilets and showers in one place, for everyone at the campground (tent sites, trailers, etc). There may be a pit toilet in trailer area (I always tent, so unsure). Make sure to bring floaties and water shoes if touching the bottom of the river grosses you out. Lots of nice sites to choose from. I recommend this place to all of my friends.

Just packed up our site on island 2! It’s a short walk with your gear to get to it, but it’s so worth it ! The site itself had beautiful views and lots of space. So many blue jays to see ! The hiking trail loops are gorgeous and the perfect length. Over all, a beautiful campground that is well maintained with friendly faces and lots to explore. I would highly recommend this campground. Thanks again!

What a hidden Gem!! We booked last minute Friday night, Chanel on the phone was super helpful and amazing! Our site was in the trees and a good size with no one on three sides of us. The lazy river is the most fun ever!! What a beautiful spot. The staff were so kind and the facilities were super clean. We actually packed up Sunday then spent the day in the river with friends after check out with a day pass. Highly recommended. We have scoped out our next site and will pre book. Definitely will be back this summer.
