Campground hosts very friendly and helpful.

Vault toilets were in need of a good spring power wash cleaning...., camp hosts don't have access to required equipment. Campsite pads covered with debris from defoliating trees (tent caterpillars). Visitor center next door worth visit and informative.

Great campsites on paved pads generously spaced, clean restrooms, nearby water and brand new friendly campground hosts makes this a wonderful destination.

Beautiful Campground. Sites are generous in size and except for a few that are backwards (for trailers) or had their fire pits too close to the trailer pad, laid out well. We were in site #19 and it was perfect for our 26 foot trailer.
Loved that you could walk to Monument Park and that there were a few short trails right there.

This is a very small campground with basic facilities, but with very generous campsites. While the bathrooms are pit toilets with no lights or water/sanitizer, they are kept very clean and are not smelly. People are not camping right on top of each other, and you get a fair amount of privacy. Overall, I'd highly recommend this campground if you don't need anything more than basic amenities.

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!

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.
