Beautiful campground with an amazing inflatable water park. The kids had an absolute blast. There is also a huge tent with games for everyone. The staff is genuinely nice and helpful. Their were kind and eager to help make our stay comfortable and pleasant. The family room was well laid out, with everything we needed to cook our meals, air conditioning, one double bed and two single beds.

Misrepresentation : this ‘aquatic’ center has No pool, NO beach. Rooms have NO access to TV , NO internet! The advertised restaurant is closed. Reception desk supposed to be open advertises to go to white tent to obtain service, but the white tent is closed! Open Office hours are not advertised. Same absence of tv access in neighbouring chalet and room! Same frustration next door. The ONLY quality: room is clean.

Stayed here one night with a group of 25 cyclist on a self supported tour around the lake. Blew our expectations! Stayed in a cabin and they are fantastic! Clean, small kitchenette, great pressure in shower They did us an all you can eat pizza dinner - pizza was excellent! ( we arranged this ahead). Friendly and helpful staff. And they have a great water feature and swimming, rent all sorts of bikes and boats. It’s a fun place.

We visited Parc Octopus in summer 2021 and 2022 while visiting family. The water game is unique and great for the whole family. The mini chalets are well furnished and convenient. An arcade-like gaming area and a restaurant were great additions in 2022. The staff went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and understood all of the instructions, even though English is not commonly used in the area. In addition to spending the day at the Octopus, we also highly recommend making a stop at a viewpoint just 5 minutes driving away. The view of Lac Saint Jean lake is absolutely breathtaking. Finally, we also recommend a visit to the farm Ferme Mornarque, which is a 15 minutes drive from the Parc Octopus in the other direction. You can purchase fresh, high-quality fruits and vegetables there. If you're in the area, we highly recommend giving it a try - you won't be disappointed!

The idea is great. The expérience with the staff terrible. They will harass you for the life jackets if they don’t have enough for all the customers they let in. Even if the decks you sit on are on deep water and you have small children that should wear a life jacket at all time for safety, thé staff will Ask for them back!!!! However my perception is that they decided to harass my family for the day even while other people walk out of the games into the camping area with their life jackets!!!! They had young girls working there of about 10 years old as well. The game can hold up to 140 people, they didn’t have enough life jackets for each paying customer…. Time to invest on your business in the name of safety I don’t recommend this place.
