Our campsite was very clean as were the bathrooms. The area is beautiful! We were actually the only ones at the campground for a full day - which was awesome!!! We had some difficulty fitting our tent in our site - I wish there was more information about the size of tent area in each campsite - that would have been extremely helpful. We made it work though. The dock is great, easy to get into. There is a bit of a hike up hill to the campsites - but we were expecting that. We will stay there again.

The campsite was great but the pit toilet needs some help. I know, it's a pit toilet...what do I expect? The waste in the toilet came above the level of the floor and with all the campers and visitors using it, we feared it would fill to an unusable level. Luckily the campground service workers came and helped it settle down a bit while we were there but each morning I feared I'd be looking for a new place to take care of business.

We love Jarvies, but no one has been maintaining the facilities for the last 2 years.

Bathroom was recently cleaned/dumped but wasn't too far from needing service again. Spots were nice however they're pretty close to one another...luckily we had the entire campground to ourselves. Great views at a cool part of the lake.
