Beautiful camp site and very friendly staff, tons of spaces so there's usually availability even on long weekends and holidays. the cafe has great coffee and delicious food, and their office has most of the odds and ends you may need for camping, and they have on site laundry which is a God send when traveling, as well as clean coin showers at a very reasonable price. The little hiking trails were a fun and interesting way to spend a couple hours, during the summer months wild blackberries grow all along them and we stopped to pick and eat some; they were delicious. There's a fellow on site who makes really cool welding art, that's awesome for taking pictures with, and he's also a really interesting guy to have a conversation with very friendly funny and charming. we loved the time we spent at this camp site. The price may be a little higher than other sites but it is well worth it if you want more than just a spot to park for the night.

Camped in sites 56-58; great experience with nice generous private sites. Cafe with ice cream was awesome to have in the campground. Kayak rentals worked out nicely too. Being able to move the picnic tables allowed our group of 11 (in three sites) to enjoy meals all together in the centre site. Enjoyed having a water tap in our site (we tent so we weren’t hooked up and it’s a very low tap so don’t expect to get a big jug under it, but it was nice for filling stove pots and water bottles with). Could’ve used more soap dispensers in the bathroom (only 1 for 4 sinks). They were adequately clean in usability terms, but the steel walls could use hosing down; there’s a good year’s worth of dust there. Great family-friendly quiet campground! Bring bikes for the kids; it’s a great place to cruise around.

It was the first time for us camping at living forest. The sites allow for many sizes of RV's and are semi private. The campground is clean and has many amenities. some sites have a nice view of the ocean. There is a small beach and it is easy to launch kayaks.

We recently stayed at this family-friendly campsite. The infrastructure is good, and the toilets are clean. Surrounded by giant red cedar trees, the sites are well spaced, providing plenty of room and distance from neighboring campers. The site also has direct access to the sea, where you can swim, and a restaurant where you can eat and drink while enjoying a sea view. The staff are friendly and always willing to help. Additionally, canoes and kayaks are available for rent. Additionaly, we enjoyed the few beautifully designed footpaths, the Cliff Walks.

Travelled from Ontario and this was the first park we booked on the island. I was not disappointed at all. This is probably one of the nicest parks I’ve camped in ever!! Clean level sites with full service. Sites are cleaned, raked and prepped for each new arrival. Many amenities in the park. Beautiful ocean views. The staff were all amazing and incredibly helpful. A Plus Plus. We will definitely return. Thanks
