I booked this place on campingquebec because of the water slides. The water slides however are not included in the money you pay for your camp site, and this was not mentioned in the reservation confirmation. My campsite is missing large areas of grass... looks like somebody had a foundation there in the past, and has a cable coming out of the ground to trip over and a frayed cut one that really hurts when you kick it. There are no signs mentioning the extra fees, and they don't offer it when you check in. Makes for very a very disappointing time for the children when we waited till later in the afternoon to switch from beach to waterslides. The second day when we did pay for the water slides that were to open at 11, they were not open and ready until 12.

Worst experience ever!! They laugh at you for speaking English and not being able to speak french. I was staying here when an emergency came up and I had to rush home. They will not refund me for the nights I can’t stay. I paid 180$ for 4 nights and I could only stay 1. I had to come late the night I did stay and they told me to walk all the way to my camp site which would be like a 30 min walk because it was the furthest site. Super small campground where you are literally beside the neighbors, dirty washrooms, they even make you pay for hot water, organizer and staff are extremely rude. Super cheap place you couldn’t even pay me to stay here.

I've been going there off and on since my youngest was 5 (she's 19 now). It's a quiet campground, very well maintained. A great place for young kids as it's very small and gives them a sense of freedom. The beach is also great for young kids because it's not too deep and they also have a couple of water slides which are great fun. I sometimes go camping there by myself to relax. The owner is very friendly and accommodating. There is a little store and restaurant on site. It's not fancy but it's very homey and convenient as it's about a 45 minute drive from Montreal.

We did not have a good experience. We went with friends and we just wanted to have a peaceful weekend. The owners are rude. The bathrooms are not cleaned. It is terrible to go to a place you cannot even shower because it smells so bad. People from the camping were complaining all the time and mentioning they will be moving to other camping sites. But I am also impressed how people are replied by the administration from bad reviews. They never really mention any improvement or accept reviews for a good change. They just blame people back or say they never saw them there Instead of work on their weaknesses. Well, seeing this just proves that business immaturity and good customer relationship will really not change and it does not deserve recommendations. If you are looking for a good place to stay, just don't go there.
