We loved our stay at this campground! Between the 2 pools, huge playground and jumping pillow, our little girl had the best time! We loved how close the drive-in is! By the end of our stay we had decided to put our names on the wait list for a seasonal site! Either way we'll be back for sure!

Campground is okay. Great if you have kids, for sure. Lot is quite sloped. Happy to have a pull through. Cool to have a drive-in theatre next door. Good pools, playgrounds, etc. Disappointed that you have to pay for WiFi on top of the $85+ nightly fee. This is the first time we have encountered this - such a money grab! “Dry” wood available for $7/bundle was not very dry. Campground insists on a septic donut - we have one that didn’t fit so purchased one at the on-site store. Tried to return it unopened (it was the same as ours) but they don’t do refunds. Just feels like they want our money and not our repeat business.

First off, KOA needs to reconsider their cancellation policy. We had to reschedule our stay to a later date because we couldn’t cancel, we had a death in the family 2 days before we were supposed to check in, had to FIGHT with someone in Montreal to try and get our Money back. Which didn’t happen, so we had to reschedule to a later date, which was last weekend. The facilities like the pools, and playgrounds were beautiful, no question. The campground was really windy, and we had to keep our awning in because of it. The water pressure was good, and the power was consistent, I wasn’t a fan of the sites, backing in (I’m experienced) was tough to day the least. If you’re booking a site with a 33ft trailer, I recommend going up a size when selecting the sites. I can’t say that I won’t go back, and I can’t say I will. The owner responded to my original review, which I believe to be a misrepresentation of facts. They were called, and told us to call montreal. When I thought about asking for a pull through site at check in, there was a sign, quite visible in the office “Absolutely NO switching sites”.

The family-centric atmosphere, exceptional staff, and friendly, approachable owners contribute to an outstanding camping experience replete with enjoyable activities for children and adults alike. Restrooms are exceptionally clean, and care is taken to ensure grounds are always well-maintained and aesthetically pleasing. The annual price for a seasonal site increases very modestly, less than the inflation rate, ensuring camping remains an affordable family activity year after year for many long-term seasonal campers. The new trails, being constantly improved and extended, are a great addition for anyone who enjoys walking, jogging, biking, or running. Dogs relish their morning trail walks. The new playground is one of my daughters' favorite places to hang out, and she loves the bouncy pillow too!

We stayed at this campground for a few days. Very average campground and not what we expected from a KOA at the rate charged. In addition, check in is only at 3pm and they charge you extra if you are early! Even if your spot is open and even by a hour! Most sites are narrow and trailers back onto each. The campground lacks trees therefore very few spots have shade. Not impressed for what they charge. On a positive, clean campground. Older bathrooms and laundry but were clean.
