What Guests Are Saying
Lepage Park offers a pleasant camping experience with well-maintained facilities, friendly staff, and scenic views along the river. While some guests noted issues like gravel sites instead of grass and occasional water outages, the overall cleanliness and safety of the park were appreciated. It's a convenient stop for travelers, although nearby noise from traffic and trains can be a minor drawback.

I will never camp at that place again. Our campsite was super far from the parking lot and it was such a pain to carry all of our camping gear that far. Almost all of the campsites were on a slope with no flat spots to set up a tent. The swimming area was disgusting. It was full of nasty weeds that got tangled around your feet if you tried to go in, and there were tons of goat heads on the beach. There were no faucets to get drinking water. The only place we could get water was in the bathroom sink. I have such fond memories of going there as a child, but it is a horrible spot to go to now.

Nice campground. Back in sites are rather close to each other, but a nice place for 1 night as a stop over. Didn’t use the facilities except for the dump. Dump is free if you’re camping there. Kind of a steep and tight road driving down to the campground.
Host was very nice.

we were in #3 my favorite space reserved 6 months in advance. after setting up on a very hot day i had just sat down to enjoy our first of 14 days and oh ya you already knew that the power was going to fail! My wife was not happy! no fans no AC. 100 pluss!
Ho by the way a coupled that the same problems. No juice. found a way to stay cool. They went to the swimming area and pulled grass for two days. Then there is the bath rooms the urinal not repaired just blocked off. And what about the sidewalk there? You guys can not afford cement 2nd year Just forms and its blocked off too..
I love going to Lepage Gate keepers are nice and so are most all of the workers.
All i can say is IF YOUR GOING TO DO IT DO IT RIGHT.
Like the people that pulled the grass from the swim area while they were on vacation.

Cool campground next to the water. Site T3 has some shade from a large tree which is nice, though only partial coverage. Site has flush toilets and showers. Bring your own hand soap, there is some hand santizer available. It’s fairly windy, which is nice when it is hot out
