The campground was amazing it was clean and quite. I also loved how spread out the spots were so your neighbor wasn’t too close. The vault toilets were always kept very clean we will definitely be back again.

Campsites were pretty big. It was quiet while we were there but it may have an off time which was a bonus. Walking distance to the monument and Ausable river. We enjoyed our stay all around.

Nice place with a great hiking trail nearby. Would have been nice to have firewood available at the campground since it's required to acquire it nearby the campsite, but there was a place down the road to purchase some.

We absolutely loved the campground and all the beauty surrounding it. We enjoyed kayaking on the Au Sauble river. The only complaint I might have was the toilets had no venting, so ALL the smell stayed in the room especially when the door was closed for long periods of time. We will definitely be coming back this year and hopefully for many more years to come.

Camp site was very spacious and the host were extremely welcoming. There isn't any firewood close by so you I would start searching for it when you first get to the area. Close to a lot of attractions and town. The vault bathrooms were also clean, but we came right after they have been closed due to Covid, so I'm not sure if that is normal. Nice campground for a last minute trip!
