This place is fantastic! We are brand new RV owners who travelled all the way from Cornwall. We were in the 1 A lot (kiddie corner to the playground and close to the petting zoo). Our two and a half year old twin girl grand babies loved it and so did our dogs. Everything was so clean and easy to use and well maintained. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We even weathered out a storm. It was quiet and we felt safe. We will definitely be back. On our last day when we pulled out to start the 7 hour journey back, my husband tested the ball hitch and it didn’t latch. Oh no! As new RV owners we asked one camper for some help who in turn found other campers who could help. One of the campers figured out the problem…the ball of the hitch was too small! Which was what the RV dealer hooked our Trailer up to. “You guys are so lucky you made it here”! One of the campers called the office to get help. The owner’s son Max showed up to help. “I don’t know how you made it here with the wrong size ball”!!!! He called his dad (the owner) and they both helped us out by getting the right size and even going above and beyond to put it on for us. We tried to pay for it but they would not take it. These are great people and a great community! My husband and I will forever be grateful for their help.

Went camping here last week. Super well maintained, washrooms were great. There's coin laundry beside the washrooms, and coin operated hot showers for very reasonable prices. There's a huge green space with a couple playgrounds (closed when we were there, probably because of covid). The pool is really nice. I really enjoyed it here and will definitely come back. Took 1 start off because the most of tent sites are directly beside each other, not large, and with zero bushes/trees etc for privacy. We luckily did not have neighbors when we went during the week.
