  Very happy with this campground. Nice trails on the grounds, a private little lake stocked with perch, trout and small mouth bass you can fish in. Paddle boats and canoes to rent and fishing equipment is free.

  The main office has a huge variety of items for sale, basically a mini Canadian tire and grocery store. There is also a pool to swim in, a pool table, ping pong, volleyball, badminton.

  Large campground professionally run. Very busy during summer. Located about eight kilometres from Hopewell Rocks. Variety of campsites with full hook-ups and unserviced available. The usual campground activities and lots of space for children to play. The sites closer to the office are extremely tight and privacy is non-existent. We had a site towards the end of the property that backed onto the water so it was decent in terms of privacy and space across the site. Laundry, toilets and showers are clean and well maintained. They have a strict noise code in effect that they enforce so you can’t be assured of a quiet night.

  Stayed in October 2017. The benefit of fall travel is the lack of others in the parks, this was certainly the case for our stay. It does, however, make it difficult to judge the size of sites and the proximity to neighbors without others in the park. Our site was the very last one in section 300 looking out at the Bay of Fundy and the nearby pond. A pull in forward spot giving a panoramic view. It seemed generous and well separated from the neighboring site. The owners are extremely nice and we saw them daily. They are busy renovating the park to add new sites and their plans look great. The hookups worked great and were easily reached. No issues with WiFi, the signal was strong and reliable. The roadways are easily navigated. Sites are easily accessed and well marked. The owner pointed out a number of trails we could hike and each was worth the trip. The Bay of Fundy shoreline is nearby and provides an interesting hike twice to see the contrast between high and low tide. Hopewell Rocks are nearby and well worth the trip. Again, make two trips to enjoy the contrast between tides. We will stay here again.

  Extremely close to Hopewell rocks is also a bonus!

  Fine place to stay. Rented the private cottage which was fully stocked, fairly clean (no specific complaints), bbq and firepit area both nice. Really secluded from the rest of the camp. Didn't really see anyone else unless we went into the camper/tent areas of the camp. Don't be disappointed when you cannot see the water from the cottage. I was hoping to have more of a water view which is what I was looking for when I booked and that wasn't the case. I want to sit on the porch and have coffee and watch the bay, didn't happen...buyer beware. There was a bees ground nest discovered near the cottage when 4 out of 5 of us were stung by more than one bee. Told them at the desk that it happened and they did nothing to come and spray the nest.It was right near the fire so my kids were afraid to be outside after that and refused to sit at the fire. We ended up leaving a day early even though we paid for it because it really put a damper on them being outside. We moved onto the next place which we were quite happy with. Overall a good place, laundry available which we took advantage of. Not enough machines for all the campers looking to do laundry. The store has lots of different things available to buy but overpriced so bring everything you need!

  by far the best camp-ground we stayed in! Nice clean bathrooms, and for those that do the tent camping like we do there is a place to do dishes in the laundry room area! They give a service member discount too! Cleanest and best kept camp-ground! The staff was great and very helpful. The views of Fundy can't be beat! We were so impressed with the location and the staff! It will be on our list for the next trip !!
