Site 1 - Powered and Pet Enclosure

Overall, we had a nice experience, loved sleeping under the stars and hearing the sounds of the waves. The pet enclosure was great means our dog can be off leash inside. Site was close to town and the beaches. Unfortunately, there were just some inconsiderate people in the nearby cabins who talked loudly and their kids making noises way past 10pm also some dogs who were very yappy and barky. Management didn’t seem to do much but this site is run by volunteers so they might not have been around overnight. Lastly, there were many ants and several ant nests/holes on the grass close to where we can pitch our tent. And lots of ants at the camp kitchen. But all of these were easily controlled with bugs spray so that’s all good.

Site 2a - Power, Enclosed - Premium

We spent a lovely 3 nights on site 2A. Our dog loved the freedom. The caretaker was helpful and friendly when we had a bit of trouble figuring out the sites. Views were awesome. There was a school camp in for the first few days but we didn’t really hear them at all. Short drive into Victor or bike ride. We will definitely book again.
