Had a fantastic camping experience at The Narrows Campground with a large group of friends and families. The campsites were spacious, clean, and having water + electricity hookups made tent camping very convenient. The lake being just a short walk away was the highlight — beautiful sunsets, peaceful mornings, boating, and great nature views throughout the trip.

The campground felt safe, relaxing, and very family friendly overall. One area that could improve is the restroom facilities, as some sections could use better maintenance and updating. Loop B restroom had a running flush commode and other one with no flush at all. Wash basin area had many mosquitoes live and dead.

We used loop A washroom which was perfectly fine and in good condition.

Overall, a wonderful place to disconnect from screens, enjoy nature, and spend quality time with family and friends. Would definitely visit again.

Steady decline in quality of this campground since Covid . Was a very nice campground for years for our family. No maintenance. Every year gets more noticeable.

The campsites exhibit inconsistencies in leveling, with potential side-to-side deviations of 3-5 inches. Furthermore, some sites present challenges due to the placement of electrical boxes, potentially obstructing slideout functionality. The grounds often lack meticulous maintenance.

The children's playground is well-maintained. However, on-site ice and firewood sales are no longer available.

The nightly rate of $34 appears to be disproportionate to the current amenities. Additionally, the elimination of paid camp attendants raises concerns.

Improvements are recommended.
