We recently stayed at a campsite that was just okay. Some of the sites felt a bit cramped, which was a little disappointing. We had planned to enjoy six days there, but ended up leaving early because of the lack of showers on-site. Instead, you have to trek over to the resort just to get cleaned up, and even then, it’s a bit of a hassle. You need to grab a token for a shower, and the hot water is pretty hit or miss.
On the bright side, we did get to see a bear up close at our campsite! They’re pretty chill as long as you don’t leave food or trash lying around. The beach is within walking distance, which is a nice perk, but honestly, the shower situation made things more complicated than they needed to be. Driving to the resort just for a shower felt like too much of a hassle, and it took away from the camping vibe we were hoping for. Overall, it was an okay experience, but I think we'd look for something with better facilities next time.

Great location. Amenities are upkept well. Close to the road so bring ear plugs.
It’s likely you’ll see a bear so be prepared and make sure to leave your goods in the bear box!
Overall, amazing spot for some summer camping under the stars.

It was great place. biggest issue I found was bathroom. Also, bathroom has running water, but it was not clean as one expected. some of them had broken soup dispenser. Otherwise, great place to relax and camp.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
