We are from Hamilton, a great little spot for the long weekend. Had a great time. The park staff were really great. On Friday night , I think the main guy Mike( had a big beard) he was running around like crazy trying to help people. Also the front staff and all the other employees were great too. They had had lots of rain that day, so it was getting a little muddy, and he was helping a lot of people . Our daughter used her kayak in the lake and had a blast, then beach was really nice, and water was refreshing. All in all, it was a great weekend. Thanks, we will be back

Camped there in the sites in the 60s on the labor day weekend. Gate house staff was so great and prompt with helping us - lent us an extra extension cord and brought us a second picnic table really quick. Plus the campground was super close to the lake. The washrooms next to the beach were closest to our campsite and were clean

Great camping, very quiet and respectful camp ground. The pool was pretty cold but the kids still loved it. Sites are easy to access and tidy. The lake is perfect for paddling, especially if you're a beginner as it isn't a tough paddle and the lake is relatively small.

Perfect family friendly campground that consists of large grassy sites in the poolside area of the campground. A nice playground, swimming pool and a lake. The park staff are always friendly & helpful.
