    The campsite was set up really nice. Easy to get into sites. Owner stopped by to see that all was good, which was such so great. Would stay there again.

    Beautiful little camping spot. Jennifer is a beautiful host and the lake and river are close by. The washrooms and showers were beautiful and clean and the sites are made as private as possible. Loved our stay.

    Excellent campground. We stayed here just two nights as part of a bigger journey and it proved to be worth the stop. The staff was friendly on arrival offering information about the area and where we could take the dogs swimming. The entire place is well maintained and the bathrooms/showers were very nice and clean.
