July 2021 - after reading the various fairly decent reviews on this camp, I booked a week for a family vacation. Myself, my son, my daughter and her family including my 3 year old grandson. What a huge disappointment. I'm not sure who ran the camp a few years ago but if it was the same people we experienced, then they have certainly changed! The man who directed us to our cottage did not introduce himself nor did he provide any information/rules on the camp. I assumed the owners would come and introduce themselves and provide some information to us later. Our first view was an overflowing garbage

Well kept cottages and a friendly and responsive staff! The traders post and restaurant next to the camp make it so you don't have to leave your whole vacation!

Exceptional service, as always. The cabin was very clean, with a beautiful view. The kitchen had everything we needed, stove, microwave,... with lots of cookware. BBQ outside was full of propane and ready to go. Beds and linen we're clean and cumfy, thanks to Karen. Large firepit outside, with wood available. The fishing was great, we caught lots. Bill did a great job giving us detailed information explaining the lake map. Jeff did a great job explaining how to use the boat, and gave us good fishing information... fishing spots, best lures to use... They sell worms and minnows. Paddle boats, canoes

Great cottage experience! Despite the heat wave, the swimming was wonderful, the cottage was cozy, and access to the park next door is stellar. Super convenient services and friendly staff.
