We only spent one night here, but we loved it. The sites are amazing, we booked site 19. The sites are large and flat, and there were no tree roots. The comfort station near our site was a bit dated but got the job done. Bathrooms were nice and clean. Would love to stay again. Also they have yurts which are pretty cool. My only complaint is that there wasn't a sticker for my passport book, which my 4 year old was pretty bummed about.

We had a great time at this park, we love the fact that it is dog friendly.. our site was big and clean when we arrived. We drove over to Onaping Falls and did a hike there… it was beautiful.. our pup loved the dog beach.. my only complaint would be the bathrooms could be a bit cleaner then they were. The train horns were loud but they didn’t bother us at all.. they may bug some people tho.

We had a good time at this Campground. The only thing we didn't enjoy was the train noise late at night and the second was the proper washroom that was a bit further from our campsite but super dirty. There was also the sewage hole bathroom closer but the kids refused to go and were also scared. Mosquitos were a big issue but that has to do with nature and one must be prepared with mesh hats and mesh gazebo to stay protected. Overall, it was a good visit.

A Beautiful little park on a gorgeous clear lake. The train is the only downfall as it runs close to the campground. Sites were large and quite private. The beach is a bit of a drive from the campground but worth it. It was our first time here and we were glad we made the drive!

Stayed in a yurt, looking a little tired the yurts, lots of train noise, didnt bother us to much. They don't rent canoes or kyaks, so we drove up to half way campground 30 min north.
