A fantastic 5-star campsite! We stayed for three nights and were thoroughly impressed. The staffs were incredibly friendly, and the facilities were top-notch. The washrooms and showers were spotless, and the dishwashing station with hot water was a great convenience. We loved our site along the river, where a swan visited us every afternoon. We’ll definitely be returning!

For a first timer to a private camp site, I'm very impressed with the attention to detail and the friendliness of the staff. There were a few pride flag logos around the main entrance, so i'd assume they're very accepting. I overheard its also not for profit. We picked a decent site right on the edge of the water that night. We were able to get just a single night, instead of paying for multiple that we weren't going to stay for. It ended up being the most premium experience of our weekend. Lots of wildlife - we saw a king fisher bird, a seal swam in the area, some otters, geese, dogs on paddle boards, a Large friendly looking Swan came by, and that totally caught us off guard. They do sell wood for $10/milk crate of wood. 3 crates lasted us all of one night. This was appreciated as we had limited space and could not bring our own wood, or propane fire pit. There was wifi, dvds to watch for the night, and books to borrow while you were there. Multiple washrooms - and they were clean, as well as a playground, hammock (or anti-stress station i think as they called it :D ). Overall it was clean and i felt good being there. My mother in law who has not camped in 25 years said she would definitely come back to this place again, possibly even next summer.

The staff are very friendly and cheerful. The river side area is open but spacious. Showers and bathrooms are very clean and roomy. It was beautiful having a campfire by the river with a delivered bundle of wood we purchased at the front. Would camp here again for sure!
